Ii is computed that all the Indians can
be removed in twelve detachments, and
that the last will leave BY the goth Of o.

Reasons Of a Slore- holder for being a
C0l0nizdtlOn1St-At the last annual meet
ing of the Virginia Coloniz atom Society.
Hon, Henry A, Wise, whose Zeal in be-
half OF Slavery in Congress has made i'm
notable among his colleagues, was one OF
the speakers. The following is passage
from his speech:-Penn. Freeman.
AT the outset of my career ia life, sir.
! left this my mother State, and, like many
of her sons, enigrated to the land of the
West. There, in the State Of Tennessee,
| was appointed secretary OF a Slate COL
onization Society, and l became the zeal
Gus and active friend and advocate Of the
great original principles Of the design to
secure and to'tify the Institution Of slGve-
ry itself By coLOmizimg the free people of

ing States, on the shores Of Africa.''
BREADTH consequence of the ex-
travagant price which is now demanded
for wheat -four, attention has been direct
ed to the use Of superfine rice -four. One
part of this united with three of wheat
-four makes the most wholesome, and by
far the cheapest family bread. 1t is now
extensively used by the bakers in New
York, and said to make superior bread to
wheat -four alone. A correspondent in
the Come cticut Courant states tina: rice
| -four is pure farlna, or nutriment-that ii
is perfectly dry and therefore makes more
bread to the barrel than any other -four
| 1t is the most wholesome of all farina
ceous substances, being the sole food OF
millions in Asia, where protracted lives
are Justly ascribed to the constant use OF
this simple food. There is no gluten in
rice, which makes it palatable with no
continent but common salt, and fit 10 eat
without the process of fermentation. The
difference in the price of the two kinds of
flour is an object worthy the attention OF
families; barrel Of wheat flour ought
to contain 1856 pounds; and at the present
prices is upwards of five cents a pound,
aud being more or less damp, leaves not
more than 100 pounds of food. The
rice -four is perfectly dry, is all food, far
more wholesome, and sells at a price
somewhat below this rate.-Graham
Journal.
