Spectator, of May 9th, gives the following
example of Indian customs;
"Oa Sunday night last, near this city, |
an Indian, after greatly abusing and beat
ing lis sQuaw, hung her up by the neck
until the vital spark had fled. His plea for
the cruelty he had inflicted upon her was

break her of this habit he thought he would
beat and hang her awhile, after the custom
of the whites. Well, he has effected a cure.

among the Indians for one male to kill an.
other. But the husband holds the power Of
life and death over his wife"
