FATAL RESULT OF FoLLY.-On the 25th ult., a
son of Mr. Greer, of Fulton county, Ohio, aged
IA years, while his parents were from home per-
petrated most fatal piece of thoughtless folly.
lie and two young children were in the cabin,
when he ascended the ladder to the loft after a
halter, saying to the others that he would hang
himself. The rope was tied to the ladder with
one end round his neck, leaving it long enough
for him to walk upon the floor. Pulling against
the halter the moose tightened, choking him.,
Gasping for breath, and unable to release himself
he ran up to his play mates sitting in front of the
fire, who supposed he was in fun, making faces
at them, and told him to take care or he would
burn himself. The boy, unable to speak, and
fast loosing his strength, he staggered round the
corner of the chimney, and set down out Of
sight. In a short time the others went to see
what he was about, and found the blood run
ming from his mouth. Before alarm could bring
the parents to his aid the poor child was stran-
gled to death.-7as. ddo.

hyon bright stars that gem the night,
Be each blissful dwelling sphere,
Where kindred spirits re-unite
Whom death hath torn asunder here,
How sweet il were at once to die,
And leave this blighted orb afar-
Nix soul with soul, to cleave the sky,
And soar away from star to star.
But oh how dark, how drear how lone,
Would seem the brightest world of bliss
Ii wandering through each radiant one,
We failed to find the love Of thisl
If there no more the ties should twine,
Which Deaths cold hand alone can sever,
All then these stars in mockery shine,
More hateful as they shine forever.
1t cannot be, each hope and tear
That blights the eye or clouds the brow,
Proclaims there is happier sphere
Than this blank world that holds us now |!
There is a voice which sorrow hears,
When heaviest weighs lifes calling chain,
IT'S Heaven that whispers dry thy tears,
The pure in heart shall meet again"

On their way, however, the happy couple drank

RelnimiScence.

Precisely on the ground where the United
States Hotel was burned on Wednesday night,
the u. S. Commissioners, sixteen years ago
were seated. with the country's flag waving
over them, and three thousand Pottawatamies
arranged on the ground in semicircle before
them, the men ia front three deep, and the
squaws and pappocSes in the rear.
The lndians had met to receive their last
payment and many of our citizens will remem.
ber the scene and the speeches of the Chiefs.
The Government had decided to make the pay
ments to the heads of the families, rather than
to the chiefs, for fear the latter might in some
way use the money in combination against
the whites. But the chiefs objected to this,
and probably from a feeling of pride rather
than any plans of revenge. Mattawa, a chief
of noble bearing, rose from the centre of the
inner circle, and with eye flashing forth his
deep feelings, and with earnest words of elo-
quent simplicity and strength, expressed his dis
satisfaction. The Commissioners stated that
the Great Father at Washington had decided,
and there could be no change. In silence and
disappointment the Chiefs received the reply.
Thus point after point. river after river, home
after home, and grave after grave, have the
poor Indians been forced to give up and leave
behind them. Old Mat.awa could not keep ST.
lence long. He soon broke forth in lamenta-
tion, saying that the Pottawatamies must go far
away, no more to roam their own loved praires,
or Shoot the canoe across their noble lake.
"The white man has come he said, "and he
will build a great town. and many houses will
cover the fields of the Pattawatamies." In
sadness these Indians we're led off to Council
Bluffs, and afterward to district set apart for
them on the Arkansas. For centuries they had
roamed and ruled, free as air, around the head
of Lake Michigan, Their bones moulder un-
der us, and already we half forget that they
haunted and danced, lived and died, genera
tion after generation, where we now work and
build, and increase in strength and riches. For
tunes are now almost daily made from the land
once owned by the Pottawatamies, and at the
time to which we have referred, much of the
money paid to them by the Government flowed
back to the white traders, in the Internal streams
of the fatal fire water Chicago Tribune.

Last fall almost thirty wild ducks were en-

were clipped to prevent their escape and thus
gradually became domesticated Col Jacques,

where they were at liberty to roam over acres
of marsh and upland; they became accustomed
to his call and do not now manifest the least
disposition to emigrate. Ii a stranger enters
the yard they manifest the utmost alarm and
make an attempt to fly. By their peculiar call
and the freedom which they enjoy to traverse
the margin of the Mystic river and the marshes
they attract other wild ducks which make a
shy descent and remain for time then take to
flight but not being alarmed repeat their visits
then they lay their eggs and finally become ac
