TREATMENT OF INDIANS

The whole sum expended by the Gov
erdment of the United States, in the sup
port of schools among the Indians, we be-
lieve exceeds $4,000 annually, and the
whole number of pupils is between and
1000.
From the papers we learn that not less
than $500 Indians were lately collected at
Maiden, in Upper Canada, to receive the
annual presents from the Britise govern
ment, the proceeds were expended chiefly
in rum the usual scenes of drunkenness
and fighting took place, and several outra-
ges were committed on the return of the
Indians to the Michigan Territory,
We have presented the conduct of the
two governments in contrast, for the pur-
pose ofinquiring of our English and Canadi-
an friends, if nothing can be done to re-.
move the stigma which rests upoa the Bril-
fish name in consequence of the abuse to-
which we have above referred. With the
enlarged and liberal views which at present
prevail among British statesmen, viii it not
be easy for the friends Of humanity, by a
mere representation Of the case, to procure
tho abolition of this narrow and wretched
policy.-Obs. r.& 5ea

BaliOOn ACKNOWLEDGMENT 9 and 10
o'clock on "Wednesday evening, Mr.. E.
Robertson made an ascension in Balloon
from Castle Garden. The Balloon rose
quickly and beautifully, and at first took
an easterly direction, which carried. it over
the Battery, in full sight of many thousand
persons, who were assembled outside of
the Garden. The car containing the Err
onaut, and brilliant Star of fire works,
100 feet below, but attached to the Bal
loon, were distinctly visible for few min
utes, by the aid of the moon. When the
Balloon had assembled several hundred feet,
rockets were thrown from the car, and the
Star ignited, which was the most brilliant
exhibition of pyrotechnicks that we ever
witnessed.
Mr.. Robertson landed at Flatbush, l.. /.
at Is minutes past 10 o'clock, and procee-
ded Immediately for the city, and arrived
at Castle Garden at half past II o'clock

RIRLE SOCIETY.

Two neighbors in Thornton Co. N. J.
were met in the road, and invitation was
given to them to aid the Society. One
began to excuse himself on the ground that
the poor would not make a good use Of the
Bible if they had it. In support of his po-
sition he related the story, which, perhaps
has been many times told, respecting man
who scolded his wife for refusing Bible
which was offered her, telling her that she
was very unwise in not receiving it, for If
she had taken it, they might have sold it
for a considerable sum. When he had
done, the other man, who had patiently
listened to his Neighbours. modestly obser-
we'd, that he too had a story which he should
be glad to tell. Six years ago, said he, /
was without God in the world was very
poor, yet net less wicked than poor. MY
wife was as thoughtless as /. MY language
was shockingly profane; / hated Chris
tians, had no Bible, went seldom to Church
my Sabbaths were spent in sleeping or
labouring, hunting or fishing. At length
it became proverbial among my neighbors,
that any attempt to reclaim would
be like casting pearls before swine. Final
~ obtained Bible from. the Hunterdon
County Bible Society for while it lay
in my house untouched. One day having
some leisure, l began to look through it,
and to amnse myself in reading about the
dragon, great white horse, &c. in Revela-
tons. At length, as 1 was glancing over
different parts, Iafound ia Ecclesiastes v.
A, He has no pleasure in FOOLS" which
pierced my heart. From that time, be-
came an anxious inquirer, attended meet
ing, and had no peace Of mind until found
it in believing. My wife has become hope
fully pious. We are now both members Of
the church. Even our worldly prospects
have frightened; we have money at inter-
est; we live happy, and hope that~we are
travelling. by the light of the Gospel to
heaven. While we live, we shall be friend

The White Mosnt0inS.-It is not many
weeks since we published a very imperfect
sketch of the sublime scenery of the White
Mountains, from notes taken during RAM
BILE among their crags, cliffs and glens.
Our readers will perhaps remember that
we mentioned in that sketch family by
the name Of Wiley, which resided about
two miles below the Notch, and six miles
from any other human habitation. There
was an appearance of rural neatness, sim
plicity, and content, manifested by all the
members of this family, thus secluded from
all the rest of the world, except the travel
Ter, whom curiosity or necessity might in
duce to call, that excited in. US no ordina-
ry sensations ofpleasure. IF the situation
Of these apparently innocent and happy
beings produced at that time an uncommon
interest, the fate which has since over
them, has been IA less powerful
in exciting emotions of sympathy. Seve-
raj days since, there was report that an
accident had overtaken the family, and it
was feared they were either drowned by
the swelling of the waters which rushed
through the narrow defile, or down the al
most perpendicular sides of the mountains;
or buried beneath the falling earth and
rocks but nothing certain was known of
the fact, till the receipt Of the Portland
Advertiser of Tuesday, which puts an end
10 all hopes that the fears previously en-
ertained were unfounded.
Thus is stricken from the face of the
earth group which the virtuous and the
happy could not but admire-which the
rich and the proud might envy. No NOR
tai eye was permitted to witness and sur
vive the agonies of the awful moment--no
mortal ear caught the expiring groan of the
sufferers. The horrors of the catastrophe
are imprinted on the memory of no child
of the earth; yet were the very hairs Of
of their heads all numbered; and who is
there that would not admire the kindness
Of that Providence which left no bruised
