On the Sd of this init. treaty was fgned at
st. Louis, by governor Harrifon, as commifIi-
oner Oh the part of the United States, and by
the chiefs of the Sac, and Fox tribes Of Indians,
by which the latter have coded to the United
States the extenhye tract of country included
within the following bounds, to wit: begin
ming at point of the Mif1ouri river oppofte
the mouth Of the Gafconade river; thence in a
dire6 courfe 70 as to itrke the river Jefreon.
at the diftance Of 80 miles from it's mouth, and
down the Jeffreon to the MifThippi thence
up the Mitiiiippi TO the mouth Of the Ouifcon-
hng river, and up the fame TO a point which CbaIl
be 80 miles in direct line from the mouth of
the fad river; thence in direct line to point
where the Fox river, a branch of the Illinois,
leaves fmall lake called Secargan thencedo
the lard river to the Illinois, and down tn efameto
the Mifiifiippi. This is undoubtedly among
the mott valuable acquilitions we have ever
been able to procure from the Indians, and re-
fleets great credit upon the governor to whole
influence and good management, we can alone

1f,c.I1!G.11.4 i0tdsty0Fie.
We have seldom heard OF circumstance
s. Distressing as the following, which we
copy from Philadelphia paper !,he 9th
instant:
\ Sir, Miuchiu and his wife wen, about
s.x weeks aga TO the city of Washington,
I-avng three small children, his moshsr.in-
Lw, aud a young woman relation. A
Young gentle man was also in the family as
a boarder. On Thursday moruing last,
Mrs. Gordon, thu mDther-in-Iaw, baked
some buciwheat cakes for breakfast, and
the children being present., she gave them
the one which was FIRST baked. Not long
after, they were seized with violent vo'
hitting aud the res, OF the family, except
Mrs G. who had began their breaStas1 were
taken in the same manner. The .oniting
was extreme, aud as thcy expressed II. such
heact.sickuess came on them, that they
had but Sufficient strength lef. to so to their
beds, whittier the children was also taken.
Immediately after which Mrs. O. was also
seized in the same violent manner, though
she had not eaten of the cakes, but attributes
it to the peculiar disasreeable smell which
arose from the first one while baking it,
She also was obliged instantly 10 go to bed
where the whole fam,ly CONTINUED vomiting
with scarcely any inter .llssion, an! IN this
t;e~lorable situation they lay I'll evening.
without being able to call for assistance, &
unknown to the neighbours. In the even.
ing yoang man, son OF Mrs u. acc'-
dratallv went 10 the house, and found them
N the above derlorable condition. Assis.
lance and medical aid were Immediately
procured. The oliss, child Gne bog OF
SIX wears, langui,hed N excru,iaiing ago
MES til Saturday evening, when he died.
Purple spots appeared On the face aud
neck. The Youngest chit1 o. three years
cd, is vet alive, hIt small hopes are enter
tanned OF MS recovery. The grown per.
sors of the family and another child are
eus OF danger, though still weak. Mrs. G's
spa, after discovering their situation. and
after assistance was procured, had the Gu
mostly to eat a small piece Of the buck
wheat cake, which was still remnining. 1t
had dis4grseable acid taste, and in about
three minutes after he swalowet, II, he says
his strength failed MIN, his head ached, and
h began - v1mit.
ne abSve is a simple statement Of facts
as related by the family, With respect to
the poison, for poison it undoubtedly mus.
have beer, which produced this shocking
catastrophe, We az ettentrelv in the dark.
Tie family seem inclined 10 believe it must
have been in the bnekwi,eae meal, but whe.
