Singular Incident,

The Boston Transcript relates the

Not many months since, a lady, who
resided in Providence, encountered in
the railroad cars an old gentleman,
who seemed 10 regard her with an all

conversation. Before parting, he
begged permission to call on her at
her home. His deferntial manner, his
advanced age, and his frank expires
sion of interest, though stranger. in
her welfare. were SO many pleas in
his favor, AMI she replied to his request.

SABBATH SCHOOL CELFBRA-

The anniversary of our National In
depe ndence was celebrated in this place
by the Sabbath Schools of the Methodist
and Presbyterian Churches, In manner
highly creditable not only to the scholars,
but to all who participated in the exer.
cises. Notwithstanding the unfavorable
appearance of the weather in the morn
ing. the day was fine, and all appeared TO
enjoy the exercises with the utmost sat
isfactIon. The schools met at their res
pective churches, at an early hour, and
after the reading of the Declaration OF
Independence and other appropriate GER
emonIes, the procession was formed with
banners. flags, &c, and joined by the
school from Yellow Stone, and, accom-
panied by the Mineral Point Sabbath
School Band marched in the most per
feet order, (the procession numbering not
less than 700 through several of the prin-
cipal streets: thence to the Public Square,
where an address was delivered by WIN
K. SMITH, Esq, which, for its lessons of
history, virtue, morality and iudepend,
ence cannot be too highly appreciated,
both by young and old, After the ad-
dress and some favoite airs by the band,
the schools separated, and marched to
the churches, where we believe at least
one thousand persons were served 10 their
atiSSfacIion with cakes, candies, nuts,
figs, raiSius, lemonade, &c, and after
some beautiful songs oy the children,
were dismissed.
The whole of the proceedings were in
the best order and nothing occurred du-
ring the day TO mar the enjoyment ex
cept the occasional "Gutteral eiacull-
tons , OF one lone Disciple of Bacchus.
who had found his way into town. On
the whole, il was IN admirable Cele5ra-
ton, and We challenge the State, and va
might say the Union, TO name the place
where celebration was attended on the
4th by from , to 1900 people rs in Mn
eral Point, with less drunkenness and dis
turbance than was seen here. We have
made enquiries and cannot learn OF but

We learn from the Western papers,
received by yesterdays mail, that the
Wennebago Indians have come to
stand near the head of Root river
and refuse TO move any farther west.
They number about 2IOO, and were
in charge of Capts. Morgan Knowlton
and Eastman, with 50 or 100 men,
and leo Sioux warriors. The Win
nebagoes claim, it seems, that they
have purchased tract of land about
Root srlver, from Wabesha, a Sioux
chief while the Sioux warriors insist
Wabesha had no right to sell. To
compllcate the matter War party OF
200 Sacs and Foxes had arrived in the
vicinity. and the Sioux had started off
Tor fight; while the Chippewas, II Is
SAID. are mastering on the Upper St.
Croix, with the design of avenging
the death of Little Sank of whose tri-
al and execution by Lynch Law
at the falls of the ST. Croix, we gave
some account in Wednesdays paper.

! Whites Oh lIc 81. OTOlN Win arms ANA
ammunition, to defend themselves a.
galnst the Chippewas, and has sent 9
requistion to Jefferson barracks for 20l
men to assist in removing the Winnie
bagocs. a good deal of apprehension
seems to be felt that these are premon
tory symptoms of an Indian war OF
our Northwestern frontier; but we
cannot ourselves believe that there i.
any great,likelhood of an actual out
break. The precautions taken vii
probably avert such result.
