known, has also a most precious pup Of the
feminine gender, which is altogeiher cred

most unmistakable manner her regard for

sense Of the danger and evil that might 9TH

demonstration IN favor of the Name Law,
she, few DAYS since, without the advice

An Indian Burial in California.

There is no feature la the Indian charac-
ter more marked, than the respect they pas
% thrir dead Their burais are attended
with great ceremouy, and are really impos-
ing. We cannot better bring them before
our readers, than by describing one which
we witnessed ourselves, among the Pohon-
etc tribe, who dmelt, at the time in the ,i-
cuily Of the Fresno Ii was that of wc-
man, who died, seemingly, from some pull
monary complaint
The woman died about midnight, aud
Immediately wall from female voice an
uonuced the event TO the tribe This con-
linued, now rising now falling, for about
half an hour, when It was taken up 10y
another and another, until some thirty yo,-
ces were mingled IA the expression Of their
woe The effect was melancholy IA the
extreme through the gloom of the night
the dim outlines Of the neighboring mouu-
tains could be traced, while with the sud-
den pickering OF the light flame OF the fire
which burned before the hut, the grand
oaks and pines would start forward tower
ing Ia blackness. The ripple of the little
brook which ran past the rancherla, could
again be heard when the wall died away,
while occasionally piercing shrek from
some one who had Just awakened 10 the
loss of her friend, smotc upon the ear.
When the day dawned, the whole ranch
eria was abroad, AMI the body was brought
out aud LAID IA tie open space before the
huts While portion Of men were em-
ployed IN erecting the funeral pyre, the rest
gathered around the body, aud gave foil
vent to their greet, frequently throwing
themselves upon the ground, aud embrac-
ing the body Of the dead The sincerity of
their sorrow no ore who witnessed 1t could
doubt. The priest of the village, an old
man, was meanwhile engaged IA cousoliug
the parents OF the deceased; and before
long nearly all those presen. collected a.
round han, as lac sal on the ground. lie
then commenced drawing lines IA the sand,
ofunequal length 80" Such, said he, " are
We all. While we are here we can be seen
like these lines. But by aud by one goes,
as lhis"-eiiacing one ine,-" another fol-
lowing, and another, until we are wiped
out, aud can be seen no longer" With
these words he swept out the whole, aud
smooihed the surface of the ground with
his hand,
In the meantime, the pyre, composed oil
nicely selected sticks, about five feet long,
/ by two wide, had been prepared, aud the
body, with all the properly OF the deceased
her blankets, her trlnkets, baskets, &c,
was placed upon II, and burned.
/ The lire was kept up until everything
was consumed when portion OF the ASH
es was collected aud placed in handsome
basket, TO be carried, as we learned, to some
repository, where similar remains OF her
relatives were placed During the burnug,
the women occasionally continued their
wall, pointing in different directions, to
points which the deceased had been IN the
habit of irequenting. for The purpose OF
gathering food, &c, exclaImlng as they did
so, " No more there; no more shall we see

n Lexington Martyr.

We have been trying to persuade ourself
that The following sketch Of one of the mar
tyrs of Lexington, from a late number of
the lpobUrn Journal, and the pen OF our
relative, Cyrus Thompson, Esq. of that
town, possesses general interest enough to
warrant It's appearance in our columns. II
II does not, we must invoke the mantle of
charity, which, we trust, will be made
broad enough to permit Us TO go step fur
Their and add, that we number two among
our ancestry whose names and characters
stand ia singular contrast-Daniel Thomp-
sou, the subject of the subloined sketch,
and Benz. Thompson, who became the not
cd Count Rumlord. They started life to-
geIher IN the same neighborhood. The
former was a humble shoemaker, but his
whole soul was for the liberties of his coun-
Try The latter made science and dstinc-
tlon his gods, and, deserving his country at
her need, obtained the objects of his ambi-
ton IN the royal courts OF Europe. The
one, though he literally poured out his
hearts blood for his country, became lit
tie known while the other, with no such
honest fame" TO entltle him to remem-
brance, became famous through the world
But for ourself, we're we to devise new
