go out next month, when they anticipate much
sport. All the Indians are delighted with this
country, which is rich and we'll calculated for
our reople, who can live well by agriculture
and hunting. We have no fears Of their suffer

roasting ears of corn in two weeks, out OF new

father OF al! Indian tribes. l went to our Pub
lie Square with them, anc held a talk. They
presented beads and tobac %, which was received
