Secret Soeiaies-We find the following
sutioas statement in inc Bangor Wing:
" Among the young women in Rochester,
New York there are in existence forty sssfst
societies. The fresmasong, Odd Fellows,
and members of secret societies, Of which
there are several In that city feel rather blue.

material for forty societies Of silent seofnel
We are somewhat at a loss 10 imagine, syss
at The In nble rate OF two members 10 each
society. IT IL at least apparent hat tl,sss
asseciafioms are not formed in aid of the long

Some authors have a difficulty Of eoncsiv-
ing the idea itself, and insist that a Silent wo-
man must be- very much like mute thunder.
We ourselves suspect that in tbs g4sstsrso OF
Rochester, where these female tasitasai.isa

Dryaep's verse:

A Frontier D56enAg-We take the foL
lowing from a letter IN the View fosk Ex~
press Of Friday the 9th oft:
livingston, Canada, Oct 20, 1g43
.TT1e agent Of the Saint Regis fndIsns ln-
forms me that he received a message from st.
Regis on Saturday night informing him that
the American indians in the > Americas viz
lag, had declared that tire whole village o1
81. Regis was ceded TO the u. y. States ~
the Ashburton Treaty, and, ret On by certaia
designing men, they had gone On taking Il esa
and leasing the lands TO white men. The
British Indians, in their p~erplexity, were ut u
loss whether TO determine what. course ts
take, and sent the agent for instructions.
The agent, acting on the advice Of Sir charlea
Metcalf, directed the British Indians TO uss
whatever force was necessary TO drive The
intruders from their part OF the villages 10 ar
rest all engaged in the business, as3 send
them to- Montreal Jail; and If they are MOI
strong enough Of themselves, the aid Of Her
Maiesty's forces will be prosapxly Furnished
them. The whole bnisness IL, asaoastedly
the getting up Of some designing men, "hf
think they will be the gamers by creating .
disturbance. The Boundary according tothe
Ashburton Treaty, 10 distinctly marked
through the village, andisthe lime thss alwsya
separated the two divisions Of the tribes, the
British and American ludsaus." a
