4 German, named Watcher. and one killed and
the other SO badly injured as not to be expected

SPACE ANNIHTLATED.--The Cincinnati Com
mcrclai of the 18th, says that passengers ar
rived in that city, the evening previous in Mir-
ty-three hours from New York. on the Little
Miami Railroad. Just think of taking break
fast in Cincinnati. and dinner in New York
the next day-payng for the fare through, tif-
teen dollars. That's quick enough and cheap
enough, too.
THE WYANDoTs.--Bg Turtle, chief of the
WyandOt tribe of Indians, who removed from
Ohio to the Indian Territory. writes to the O.
hio State journal concerning their present con-
dtiOn:
"Our improvements, when appraised. amour
ted to upwards Sl27 900. which was paid us in
the Autumn of 1915. In the Spring of 1850,
our Chiefs retroccded the granted tract to the
Government, and 100000 of the proceeds was
invested in five per cent Government Stock
making our present annuity $4,000.
We have two churches, one splendid brick
cdiice. neatly finished. We have three district
Schools in active operation. under the immedi-
ate supervision of the Council. We have two
tiourishing Sabbath Schools with good Libra
ries. We have large Temperance Society.
and Division of the Sons of Temperance
about to be formed. And as for our acricultu-
raj pursuits. they are carried on prOfitably eve
ry year yielding a surplus for market. Our
general thrift surpasscs that of any tribe north
of the Arkansas line. In short, we are in far
better circumstances than when living i'm Ohio.
The nation generally is contcntcd and happy.'
There seems to be on foot an unusual gather
ing of various Indian tribes west of the Missis-
sppi. The Fort Smith Herald saws:
1--WE learn from gentleman lust in from the
Indian country. that the Grand Council of all
the Indian tribes will be held about fifty miles
west of ChOuteau's Trading House, on the Can
adian, and will commence forty days after the
2Sth of April, according TO Indian computation.
which will be on or about the 9TH of June next"
The Cherokee Advocate alludes to this COun-
Gil, but does not explain the object of it.
SHEEP FOR CAIlroRNM.-A flock of Sheen.
some 300 head, belonging to Messrs, Rucker.
Hopkins Il Co., passed through Fayette, Mo,
on Monday last, bound for California. The re-
cent cool weather caused many to die soon al
ter being sheared.
LUDWIG TIECK.-Ludwig Ticck, died in Ber-
lin, on the 2Sth day of April last, at the age of
eighty years. He was the translator of Shaks-
pearc INTO German, and Poet of high rank in
his country. His Urania" is pronounced the
best epic that has yet been produced in that
language, and entities the author to place
beside Schiller and Goethe.
From the will of the great Spanish painter,
Murilo lately published at Madrid, we per-
ceive that his pictures. which now sell for twen-
ty. thirty fifty and even hundred thousand
dollars were originally painted at prices va
rying from thirty dollars to q hundred and fif-
ty.
