OF the Ouer, About thirty years ago they
rose IN formidable nun Jers under a bold
aud enterprislng leader named Makanna
who distinguished himself as Phlip of Po-
kanoket did in the Indian wars Of New
England.
After a severe struggle, the Catiirs We're
obliged to submit---and Makanna, finding
that all wa lost, heroically gave himself up
20 his enemies, trusting that by voluntary
surrender he might save his people, The
treatment which he received was no way
creditable TO the magnanimlty OF the British,
and showed that the barbarian had greater

dismissed to his home, he was condemned
