An apprentice in Philadelphia has been
freed from his indentures, by the Court of
Sessions, because his master required him
10 work on Sunday.
r5-That is just exactly as it ought TO
be, and that Philadelphia Court of Ses-
sions is just about the most sensible court
we've read of this many day. Why,
the fellow must be very Turk indeed,
to require his boys TO work on Sundays.
We don't do quite that bad away out here

the example which they set them of hunt.

Hostile Demonstrations Of Siour Indians
Massacre Of partyof Cro,c Indians by
The GroS De VentrsS-. attack on the
steamer .Mnrtha bya party Of the SiOur
al Yanctan Post.
The e.steamer Martha arrived last eve
nlng from Fort Union, near the mouth Of
the yellow Stone, which place she le!i on
the 29th of June. Among the passengers
were Mr.. j. B. Sarpy and son, Mr.. Pic
otte, lady and daughter, Mr.. Premier, and
Mr.. Culbertson. The latter gentleman,
attached TO the American Fur Company,
left "a trading post called Fort Benton, high
up The Yellow Stone, on the lHh May,
having in charge five Maekinaw boats,
freighled with robes and furs. Mr.. c.
informs us that the Indians are very friend
ly towards the whites, but are continually
fighting within themselves. Much dissat-
isfaction prevails, and murders are of fre-
quent occurrence. A few days previous
To his leaving Fort Benton, a small party
of Crow Indians, who had gone into the
Blackioot country for the purpose os steal
ing horses, were attacked by large body
of the Gros de Ventres of The plains, and
the whole party slain. This occurred
near the junction of the Maria and Teton
rivers. The Sious are mentioned as be-
ing The most Troublesome, and from all ac-
counts, seem determined 10 subsist by
plundering and numbering other tribes.
The Martha, on her upward trip, was
attacked al Yanclan Post, in the Sioux
country, by large party of Yanctan In
dians, who fired on the boat from the shore,
and, sad to relate, killed deck hand nam
ed Chas. Smith, citizen of this place
The ball that produced his death passed
through the cabin floor and struck IFS vic
tim on the head, producing almost instant
death. Quite number OF shots were
fired into the boat, and several persons
had very narrow escapes. The Indians,
some 500 in number, were well armed
with guns and knives, and if they had ac-
ted with unison and displayed much cour-
age, could have captured The boats crew
withou much difficulty. they had been
ieasted on the boat during the day, and had
presents of beads and other trinkets made
them. A severe gale of wind at the time
af attak prevented Capt. LaBarge from
leaving the shore, and his situation was,
to say the least, very critical however,
every preparation made on the boat TO
give the Indians warm reception, should
they attempt 10 board her or keeb up the
FIRE from shore.
The Observation-Disclosures are reported
very low and falling. We are informed
that at no time this spring has there been
more than three feet rise in the Missou-
RI, at the mouth Of the Yellow Stone
The winter was mild. Very little snow
fell In the mountains, and, in consequence,
the streams have been unusually low this

ReviuaI.-On Friday evening Of last
week, Rev. Messrs. George and Christian,
Of the Baptist Church, closed protracted
meeting of about thirteen days duration.
They had the ministerial assistance Of the
Rev. Mr.. Smith, of the Presbyterian
Church, for three or four days, and of the
Rev. ]. C.. Derrick, of the M. E. Church,
for about two days. The meeting was
kept up both day and night, and was We
ry generally participated in by all denom-
nations, and the attendance at every hour
appointed for worship, was large and un-
usually attentive. Messrs. George and
Christian visited this place, earnestly de.
string to be instrumental in effecting some
good, and their desire was in good de-
gree gratified. The meeting resulted in
ten or twelve conversions, besides leav-
ing number of very serious individuals,
who had manifested good deal OF inler-
est on the subject of religion. On the
last day of the meeting, Rev Mr.. George,
assisted by Rev. Mr.. Farmer, constituted
the first Church of the Bapts, denomina-
tion in this place and after duly organi-
zlng the same, an opportunity was given
for the reception of new members, when
four persons presented themselves, and
upon relation of their experience, were
received into full fellowship, and were
immersed IN The course of the evening.
On Friday evening, Rev. Mr.. Chris
tian delivered his farewell sermon to
very large and attentive audience, in the
course of which he administered some We
ry wholesome and well-timed admonitions
TO the protesting portion Of the commune
ty which, we presume, they will not very
soon forget. They left this place on last
Saturday morning, amidst very general
regret on the part of our whole commu-
nifty, that they were unable to prolong
their stay among us.
