ANOTHER INDIAN TREATY Col. D. ID.
Mitchell, Superintendent of Indian Aff.;rs. in
ST. Louis. has received Instructions from the
Department in Washington TO hold treaty
with the Camanches, kiowas, and other In.
dian tribes of the Plains. The treaty will be
held this fall, at Fort Atkinson, or in that yciu.
ty, near the point where the Santa Fe road
crosses the Arkansas. The tribes who will
be invited TO it will inc lude all those bordering
on the Arkansas, .and include those of New
Mexico. No definite time has been fixed for
the holding oft, but already it is understood
that a large portion of the Camanches have as
sembled on the Arkansas. These Indians
would not attend the treaty at Fort Laramie
last fall, because of their hOstillies with, and
fears of the other tribes.
The 81. Louis Republican says that the an
nuities, promised the Indians in the Fort Lara.
me treaty, have since the ratification ofthe
treaty, been forwarded to the Plains under
charge ofMajor Fitzpatrick.
The RIGHT KIND OF WoMAN.-The H..
b0ny knscker60cker says that considerable
| excitement was created in Broadway, recently.
| by young woman who had been in search uf
her husband al. the day. finding him seated on
| dry goods box, "dead drunk" She took
whip from under her mantilla and applied it
to his back very severely, and then ordered
him home, remarking at the same time she
would correct him of his misconduct. There's
a wife for you as is a wife. The only regret
is that her like were not more plenty in the
land and then the order of things would be
changed, and instead of the "Maine" lick her
law we should have a an ane" lick him law.
1t is the duty of wife, ifit be in her power,
when her husband neglects his family and
lowers himself below TIE beasts, 10 eierate
him, even if c0rhide persuasion is necessary.
STABBING CAsE.-We learn from the authors

| Tavener, of this county, severely injured Chas.

knowing the merits of the case, we refrain

case, and rendered all the service that skill
