a few hundfed fresl, FAT hogs, fiom Dubuque,
or elsewhere, are wanted in these PARTS. People
in our climate, consume more Fat, require more
grease, to ge, along easily aud comfortably, than
those do who live in more southern chimes, When

. We learn that it was found impossible 10 obtain
jury fos the rial Of the Indians indicted for as
SAUL, Sc, in Benton county; we suppose, be-
cause too many had fo-,ned or expressed an opin-
ion as their guilt or innocence. they were pro
badly screened hom the punishment they merit,
by the cunning management Of council. Some Of
the best men in Benton county think that Gut
Nosed-Jack and his confederates, richly deserve
punishnasn,-that they merit justice, speedily and
without needless delay. 'r
twill be shocking news TO Capt. Wakefield, 10
learn that the Fremont House, which he lately oc-
cupied as strictly iemperinsc hotel; nay, that
the very room, in which he composed his ciequint
serious Of Temperiiise lectcrs, il converted into
a bar room. One would suppose that the sacred
genii-'he consecrated iares Of that ella ssic man
sion, would ''rise mass-e in one solid. phelinx
and hustle out the polluted gobIets OF intoxca,on
and all the pizen implements Of intemperinse.''

Pond Of the Dakota Mission; and printed in the
Dakota i#nguage done into our alphabet, very inn
perfectly, but as web, probably, as our alphabet
can be made to represent the kissing, spnttering
hawking, grun,ing, clacking gutturaIs and aaui-
ferais of the Dakota language, composed as ii is,
Of words which fall upon the tympanum less like
soft snow fakes Than like mingled tempest OF
iomahawks. hedge hogs and wild cats. ,s n.
After the missionaries have labored faithfully
with the Sioux Indians now for moro than sixteen
years, always treating them with the utmost kind
ness, they seem TO have made but little impress
sion upon them; and are looked upon with dis
trust; for the Indians suppose that the missiona-
ries, in some way or another, mus, be making
something out of them, or that they would not
stay. They call them orhite mice.
