MIR. Joseph Vaudeville having, without notice,

MORE INDIAN MURDERS

1t appears as if our red brethren were deter
mined not to be extermnated by the use OF
whiskey alone, but that the tomahawk shall al
so have its share in their destruction. Six In
dams have been slaughtered by their own coun.
trymen, within our settlements, since the hist
week in January Our courts and juries have
a heavy responsibility upon them in this matter
1t would seem to be severe, if not tyranncal,
exercise of power, 10 deprive these miserable
beings of the poor boon of life, for executing
their own laws in their own way, in country
so recently theirs Yet the laws must take
their course, and blood must not be illegally
shed upon our soil Ii appears to us that this
is sub iect well worth the attention of the Cow
eminent.
On Friday last the body of an Indian of the
Saginaw tribe was found on the Paint Creek
road in Oakland county, about three miles
from the house of Mr.. Goddard, and another
MORALLY wounded by his side. 1t appears that
the murders were committed by a boy sixteen
years old, called Sha-ba-gajck, in drunken
frolic On Saturday, the murderer having been
apprehended, coroner's jury was summoned,
and after due inquiry, they found verdict Of
wiful murder against Sha-ba-gajick. We have
not learnt that the wounded Indian is yet dead.
The murderer is confined in the Jail at Pontiac.
Nearly in the same spot, about ten days be-
fore, an Indian was murdered by one Of his fa-
miIy, who put some poisonous substance into
his liquor.
On Friday last, Jacques Crow, an Ottawa In
dian, was tried in the circuit court for Monroe
county, for the murder Of Ambequaw,a woman
of the Potawattamy nation, on the 9Th Jan. last.
The prisoner was found guilty of man slaugh-
ter, and sentenced to one year Of hard labor in
the county prison, and, to pay fine of one hun
dred dollars and costs.
Kishkauko and his son still remain in Jail IN
this place, and probably will continue there un'
Ill the next regular session Of the circuit court
in Dec. next We understand that it is intend
ed to revive prosecution once instituted a.

MACADAMIZED STREETS.

1t is stated in the Boston Centinel, that the
breaking up of the frosts and the long contn-
uance of wet weather, has afforded an opportu-
nifty ofjudging of the stability and goodness Of
the Macadamized streets compared with 9TH
ers. The former are founc in better order
than any of the gravelled Streets and even bet
ter than many paved streets, besides possessing
the peculiar advantages Of quiet, and great
saving of horses and carriages. The appre.
hensior, thar frost would break up this kind Of
street is refuted by existing facts.-The Mac
adamized streets are less In ured by it than
gravelled, or than the paved streets.
