Gov. Cass has returned TO Green Bay
again, to meet the Indians in treaty;

place, took a couple of scythes from
where persons had jus, been at work,
and commenced moving, in competi.

told him to hasten or he would be in dan.
ger of his scythe; and still advancing,
incautiously inflicted a dangerous wound
upon his companion a short distance a.

inanimate for some time. Medical aid
was immediately procured, and the
wound dressed; but owing to the deep.

knee. Hopes are now entertained Of
his recovery. The name Of the suffer-
