flrnished in large towns and villages.

Academy. Mr. Daniel w. Dingman, ir. will
4ake several boarders, his house is very conve-
hient, and students will there be under the i'm
mediate care of the Principal, whose reputa-
bon, department and guardianship over his pu-
Plls, afford the best security for their proper
conduct, that the Trustees can give or parents
And guardians demand.

adapted to the age of the pupil and the time
he designs to spend in literary pursuits. Young
men may qualify themselves for entering upon

(Signed) Thomas JEFFERSON.
The message containing these
nominations was transmitted to the
Senate of the United States, on the
Sd of February, 1903, read on the 4th
and on the eighth taken up for con-
sideration, when the nomination OF
William Henry Harrison, above reci-
ted, received the unanimous sanction
of that, honorable body
In September 1909, Governor Har-
rison held a council at Fort Wayne,
and negotiated treaty with the Mi
amies, Delawares, Potawatamies, &
Kickapoos, by which he succeed
ed purchasing from these tribes an
extensive tract of country on both
sides of the Wabash, and extending
up the river more than sixty miles a
bove Vincennes. The tribes who ow-
ned these lands were paid for them by
certain annuities, which they consid
cred satisfactory equivalent.
Tecumseh was absent when this
treaty was made, and the Prophet not
feeling himself interested, had oppo-
sed it but on the return of Tecum-
sch some months after, both he and
his brother expressed great dissatis-
faction, and even thought to put to
death all those chiefs who had signed
the treaty Hearing this and anxious
too to ascertain their intentions from
themselves if possible, Governor Har-
rison despatched messengers to invite
them both to Vincennes and exhibit
their pretensions, and they should be
found to be valid, the lands would be
the lands would be given up, or an
ample compensation made for them.
Tecumseh came without his brother
and though the Governor having
no confidence in his good faith, had
requested him not to bring with him
more than thirty warriors, he came
with four hundred completely armed.
The Governor held a council on the
10Th of August, 1910, at which Te-
cumseh and forty ofhis warriors. .were
present The Governor was attend
ed by the Judges ofthe supreme court,
several. officers of the army Winnie
mack, friendly chief and few un-
armed citizens. A sergeants guard
of twelve men was likewise placed
near him, but as the day was exceed
ingly,sultry, and they were exposed to
the sun, the Governor with his char
acteristic humanity, directed them to
remove to shaded spot at some dis
tance
Tecumseh addressed this council
with speech, in which he openly
avowed the designs of himself and his
brother He declared it to be their
intention to form coalition of all the
red men, to prevent the whites from
extending their settlements farther

From the knickeIbocker,

1t is not many months since, that n
had been travelling day and night,
over roads of iron, for nearly a week,
until my sense Of hearing was almost
destroyed, by the continued fz, fz-fz,
fiz-iz, fiz-fiz, Of steam-engine, the
incessant ding-ding, ding-ding, of the
alarm bell, aud the prolonged rum.
BILE, rumble, rumble, Of the rail cars
wheels. My eyes, too, were we'll nigh
destroyed by sparks of fire, and flying
ashes; but above all, from the want Of
rest and sleep. 1t will be readily imag-
ined, therefore, that it was with no
ordinary degree of pleasure, that /
exchanged seat with an upright
wooden back, in railroad car, for
the almost by-gonc luxury of a couch
like seat in an old-lashioned stage
coach, which was to take me to the
place Of my destination. A blessing
rest upon those old-time conveyances,
the bare mention Of which calls up
thousand recolections of social plea.
surcs, that come thronging and hutter-
ing about the nib Of my pen, like moths
around bright light, on summer
evening! But, beautiful creatures
can only apostrophizc you now. Some
other time, will impale you upon the
end of my quill, and preserve your
slight forms in ink.
The day was remarkably fine; our
road lay through the pleasantest parts
of pleasant Connecticut, near the pic
tnreSque valley Of the Honsatonic; our
cattle were sleek and fine looking; the
driver was civil, and deccntly dressed;
and the coach itself was a miracle.
There was not a rent in the curtains,
nor spring out of order. There were
but two passengers, beside. myself,
one Of whom was one Of those good
nalured humorists, who believe live
ali their lives in stage-coaches, for !
never met with one any where else;
and the other was an invalid, with
his face tied up so that he could not
speak.

in all between thirty and forty persons on
board, only four of whom have escaped.
These are wife Mauae, the wife of Thomp.
som, and two young men who belonged
to the vessel.
The following is brief history Of this
melancholy affair." The Keola left La
haina for Kawaihac, Saturday evening.
May 9th, in somewhat leaky condition,
as all were aware by the amount of
pumping required. The next day, (;;sab-
bath,) after dinner, they were in sight of
kahoolawc point, which was not at a ve-
ry great distance, nothing of Maui could
be seon but Kahaleakala, and Kahoolawe
was lost in the misty distance. The wind
was strong, and, as the young men say.
the stone ballast rolled over to lecward- -
they put it back again, and soon after.
two barrels Of molasses and a cask of
water, but pooily blocked up, rolled to
lccward. This is supposed to have been
the immediate cause of the disater, tho
as the vessel had been aground five times
since she was examined, she might have
been very weak. Her bows were thrown
SO suddenly under, that it is supposed
that some who were lying in the hold
were never extricated; but went down
with the vessel. Thompson was writing
in the cabin, and had little more than time
to get on deck. The natives were soon
all in tie ocean; and Thompson, poor
man, unprepared, was hanging to part
of the stern still above water, while Maui
ae who had held morning prayers and
conducted ,lbbath services with the peo-
pie in the forenoon, now, in the water,
called the natives around and implored
help from on high. Having asked help
of God, they then looked about to sec
what they could do to help themselves.
A current was setting to the North, SO
that none thought of swimming for Ha-
wall. Thompson could not swim at all
ne threw out an oar on which he and his
wife left by her aid and the current,
they proceeded towards Kahoolawe.
Monday morning he died, and she
landed in the forenoon with the oar on
Kahoolawe. A vigorous young man
seized the cover of the hatchway for HIM
self and little brother - the boy died be-
fore daylight, Monday, but the older one
reached Kahoolawe at 7 or 8 in the morn
ing; while very slender youth, who had
been weakly, left the vessel without any
help but his skill in swimming, and land
ed on the same shore before morning.
Mauae and his wife took each cover
cd bucket for mouo, and having thrown
away the contents, they tied some of their
garments around them, and swan for
Kahoolawe. They had three young men
with them who disappeared ore after an
other, either by drowning, or going in
different directions. Some were in sioht
on Sabbath but during the night all
disappeared and left them to pursue their
watery way alone. Monday morning
