AN INDIAN MURDERED IN JAIL We
learn from The Miners Express at Dubuaue.
Iowa, that the two Winebago Indians con-
1ned there TO await their death for the MUIR
der Of white men, quarreled on the I'd instant,
when the strongest killed the weaker. As
near as can be gathered from the imperfect
HngIIsh OF the tall Indian, it appears that the
small one reProached him with having killed
a Che-moko-non (white mani that the Great
Council had deCreed that he should die, and
tainted him with being the cause of their mis-
fortune (aIIudIng to the murders.) This so
enraged his cornrade, that he caught up a
stuck OF wood and dealt him the fatal blows.
me tall Indian, throughout the investigation
OF the Coroner's Inquest, preserved the most
SsoIcaI indifference, and gazed about with a
vacant state Of curiosity, and never exhibited
the slightest remorse of conscience. Upon
0eIng questioned about the quarrel, he re-
Piled, "Whiskey-Cho o-ko-mon, me me-
Pc! , pointing to a stick of wood and exhibit
ing by his signs the manner in which he ac-
compIlshed the dreadful deed, ~insinuatinr
that his companion had alluded to the causes
which placed them in CONTINENT. The Ex-
2ret6, says: 'Surely this poor Indian had
drained the bitter cup of despair to its very
dregs, and all his evils can be ascribed to
that demon alchohol, or "ire water" which
the civilized white man retails to his unci viii
ized brother n'--C~inciuuqhi G1zeIe.

Inc fourth is for refusing to let contracts
10 competent deputies, unless they would
take as asecfet partner, some unknown rela-
tive or Trend, and share the profits with such
unknown partner.
The filth is, for taking vouchers in full
from the deputies, and Withholding a portion

IIGllL Dl d IoN JIhGE Ill venice , me room was
large, brilliantly lighted, and the table set out
with abundance Of the most inviting viands
and the choicest wines. To these the guests
seated at the table, about ten in number, had
evidently done ample justice. The remains
Of the feast were scattered about in disorder !;
several bottles stood empty and the confu-
sion that prevailed in the midst Of noisy hiIar-
lty, showed the effect Of deep p~Orations among
the jewellers. Yet the cry was still for wine;
and the b~ustIiDg proprietor Of the establish
mcnt found business enough in supplying their
cIamorous demands. C~hiofamoDg tie guests,
and the leader in their uprorjous mirth, was a
pale, slender young man, whose h2g@ard fea-
lures plainly showed The effects Of d d~is5olute
and reckless life. This was the famous, or
rather infamous Arctino, honorcd by some of
his Countrymen with the epjthet dicGa0, on ac-
count of his genius--Whose ~disgraceful verses.
were much in favor with the laughter-loYing
Venetians. At his right hand, a fit compan-
ion, sat Marc Antonio Raimondi. the young
artist, whose progress in vice had thus far al
most kept pace with that Of his model and eE-
ample, while their talents aided each ether,
in the Infamous prints Of Railnondi, serving to
illustrate the s0nnets Of Aretiuo. Opposite
them was a youth Of tender years, whose mi
tatIoH mo inc schHoI o. 0LssIPatIpa' II appear
ed, was yetincompIete. The remaining guests
we're such as would have attracted no notice
from an ordinary observer beyond disgust.
The hour OF midnight struck but is solemn
chime was answered only by wilder bursts Of
merriment among the jewellers: They had
found a new diversion; Mare Antonio was
stretching carlcatures on the table, OF on the
wall, and these indecent drawings were accom-
panied BY impromtu compIets from tie half
lnebrIated poet. 80 much abSor'ed were the
company IN this amusement, that they did not
perceive the entrance OF a stranger, wrapped
IN a dark cIoah' with hat drawn closely over
his broWs' TINS tgure stood long with folded
arms, attentIvejy watching all that was going
