A WIFE IN A THoUsAND.--An old gen.
tleman somewhat famous for his tremen-
dously tough yarns, broached one du-
ring the recent pressure, which was amt
sing enough for its absurdity, as well as
for the confident airin whichhe delivered
it. He said he had not been pressed for
money during late years, but he was once

NEwsPAPERs.-Many years since ac-
cording to the Boston Mercantile Jour-
nal, when the brother of Dr. Franklin
proposed to establisha newspaper in Bos-
ton, his friends advised him against the
undertaking, alledging that there was al
ready one newspaper in the town, and
that two could not possibly be supported
In 1880, there were only S newspapers
printed in New Hampshire; 10 in Massa-
chusetts 4 in Rhode Island 8 in Con-
necticut; 10 in New York +; 2 in New
Jersey l in De re IA in Pennsyl-
vania a in Maryland; 6 in Virginia S
in South Carolina 8 in North Carolina;
and Sin Georgia, besides few in Ken
tucky and Vermont, making in all, which
were published in this country at that
time, about 80. The increase of news
papers since that period has been much
greater than the increase of population.
And they have not only increased in
number, but in magnitude, and we trust,
in usefulness. The number of newspa-
pers now published in the u. States is
believed TO be about 1900.

The WESTERN INDIANS. - The follow.
ing, (says the last received number Of
the Arkansas State Gazette) is an ex.
tract of a letter from an intelligent mill
tary friend, who has resided many years
on the western frontier, and who has
had, at all times, the best opportunities
for becoming well acquainted with the
feelings and dispositions of the various
nations and tribes of Indians beyond our
limits. We know of none, in whose opin-
ions, in relation to Indians, we would
place more confidence. tof .
81 regret to see that frequent apprehen-
sions are expressed, in the newspapers,
of war with the Indians on this from
tier, without any discrimination being
made between the wild Indians, of whom
apprehensions of danger may be enter
tained,and the civilized tribes, from whom
we have nothing to fear. The latter
dislike extremely to be charged, by the
whites, with a want of fidelity towards
the United States; and such charges are
calculated, within themselves, TO arouse
in the Indians a warlike and unfriendly
feeling towards the whites, however far
they may be from wishing to entertain
such feelings. The Cherokees, Choc-
taws, and most of the Creeks, are per-
fectly quiet, and have done nothing cal
culated to indicate an unfriendly feeling
towards the whites. Why, then, should
they be suspected of harboring such a
disposition? If thought the people of
Arkansas were actually in danger of
molestation on the part of the above
mentioned tribes, or any Of them, | would
be very far from concealing my belief
IL think it, however, highly proba-
BILE that there will be some difficulty, the
ensuing spring and summer, with the
Camanches and others of the wild
tribes. Late accounts from the west
justify that belief. But do not believe
those Indians will be able to reach the
settlements of the whites in Arkansas,
for the reason that they would have first
to pass through either the Choctaw or
Cherokee nation; and the moment the
Camanches set foot in either of those
nations-particularly the Choctaws--I
they will be met by the whole force of
that nation, for they are on the point Of
making war upon them at any rate, on
account of horses that the Camanches
have stolen from them.
cit is, in my opinion, misfortune,
hat the conditions and feelings of the
civilized Indians on this frontier are not
'etter known to the American people
han they are. If the people knew them
'etter, | am sure they would be less ap-
'rehensive of danger from them.

there shall be no pains spared to render this
house desirable resting place for the Way
worn comfortable home for the sojourner !;
and an agreeable stopping place for every
gentleman or lady, whose business or pleasure
may induce them to call. In discharge ofhis
duty to travellers from the east, bound for
Fort Wayne, or the Wabash country, hefeels
bound to say, that there will be n saving of
time, money, and expense, by keeping the,
road on the north side of the Maumee river
through this place, instead of crossing at

FLAsH in THE PAM Yesterday fore
noon, Mr.. Woodham,who keeps kind
ofold clothes and pawn broking estab-
lishment at IL Chatham street, came in
10 the police Office all in sweat an
quite out Of breath, requesting the asst
ance Of a posse Of officers to arrest no.
torious malefactor at his store, for grad
larceny, burglary, robbery, ,and for aught
he knew even murder itself. An officer
was Immediately despatched q nd the de-
linquent brought up. The accused pro-
we'd to be little, old.fashioned Dutch
negro wench with a countenance ex-
pressive OF fany thing but dishonesty or i'll
humor, and the charge against her was
that she had called at complainant's store
and offered for sale decent black coat,
when the Jealous keeper Immediately
pronounced it to be stolen. Upon being
asked whether the accusation against
