kENTUCKy's GALLANT DEAD-A note from
Colonel Edward Brooks, OF Detroit, advises that
q short time since the remains OF some twelve or
fourteen Of the brave kentucky boys, who fell a
sacrifice to the sea ping knife ard the tomahawk
We're discovered by citizen OF Monroe, River
Raisn. We only know that they We're the first
that fell there and that they Were kentuckians OF
General Wncnesters command.
'ilaving myself been volunteer from Kentucky
who served this frontier with Col. Johnson, Gen.
Hampton and Gen Cass, my Monroe friends deemed
1t proper under the circumstances to cOnfide the
remains of these brave men to my special care
They are now IN my possession and deem 1t no
less my duty than it is my earnest desire, that they
should be conveyed TO their native Stale so much
hoaored by their fall, for interment.'
Col. Brooks proposes accordingly, within a short
time to leave Detroit, for kentucky.-Ctn. Enquirer.
THE GULF STREAM.-Foating substances have
| often been thrown into the Gulf Stream TO ascer-
am It's direction. Upward of twenty years ago we
cast overheard, near the Banks. a common quart
bottle, carefully corked and sealed, and having a
few inches of red bunting tied TO the neck. The
bottle contained a letter addressed to "A gentleman
in London. and an open note in English and
French requesting the finder put the letter into
the nearest postOtlice, American or European, and
also memorandum of the circumstances date, and
the place of its discovery. Precisely eleven months
from the day the bottle was committed TO the deep,
the letter was delivered by the posman, and ac-
companled with another from an Irish clergyman.
The fragile vessel oated safely ashore near Sligo.
its little pennon excited the attention of peasant,
who broke the bottle. and not knowing what to
make OF It's contents, carried the whole to his priest
This gentleman politely forwarded the letter to its
destination. and wrote another containing the par
tictIlars Just mentioned. Both letters we believe,
were laid before the British Admiralty by the gem
tleman to whom they were addressed Eng. PAPER.
The TRADE IN CHILD MURDEg.-Ihe London
press is calling attention to the poisonings which
have become a practice among certain classes OF
the English populallon for the sake of gain, by
frauds Insurance offices and burial clubs. and
shows reasons for supposng that the known cases
are but a few Instances OF a crime which is to a
wide extent undeteced, especially IN the factory
districts. At Preston, where % 600 members are
enrolled in three burial societies. statistics suggest
Il very dark Suspicion Only healthy children are
accepted for enrolment, and sixteen weekly pay
menls e1acled before the beneli, can accrue to
the person VINO enrols child accordingly, be-
tween the ages OF two months and months, the
mortality among children enrolled, is less than that

the London Dairy News, " IS between eight and

This systematic child murder appears too horrid
for belief, but unquesonable facts prove that it is,
alas too true.
