DESTRUCTION OF THE MooUIs.-Some months
ago we gave minute account of an interest.
lug people, called the Moquis, residing in hand
reconstructed villages built upon the tops
of several fat mountains, near the centre of
the unexplored region between the Colorado
and ella. 1t appears from the report OF Lieut..
Whippe's party that a fearful pestilence has
swept the whole nation off the face of the earth.
When Lieut.. Whipple reached the Colorado
Chiquito, at point about l50 miles west Of
the old Pueblo Of Zuni, his guides informed
him they were unacquainted with the country
beyond, and advised him to seek guides from
among the Moquis, who lived some three hum
dred miles to the north. Two Of the Zuni
guides cheerfully departed for the Moqui coun-
try, while the command, with Louis Leroux
for guide, continued on for thirty miles, where
it was expected the new guides would meet
them. The Zunians returned to camp alone,
bringing the sad intelligence that the whole
Moqui nation had been swept off by the small.
pox. There are several villages, built upon
naesas, or high table rocks. In one village
they found but one woman and child alive.
SO great was the mortality, that there we're no
burials. The dead bodies were thrown from
the mesas, and lay in putrid heaps about the
bases. So great was the stencil that the guides
nearly persisted ere they could get away.

to flow. Hihebrant was arrested, and shortly
afterwards committed suicide by hanging him.

"ROLLO ON THE ATLANTIC"

BEAUTIFULLY illustrated with original designs.
ID By Jacob Abbott.
Roo on the Atlantic " is the first book of So
res to be published under the general title of Rolo
Tour in Europe
Extract from the Preface:
Z" Tho books are intended to DO books of instruc-
ton, rather than Of mere amusement and, in peru
sing them the reader may feel assured that all the in
formation which they contain, not only in respect to
the countries visited and to tho customs usages and
modes Of life that described but also in regard
the general character Of the incidents and adventures
that the young travellers meet with is in strict
accordance with fact. The main design Of the nara
tive is thus the communication of useful knowledge
and everything which they contain, except what is
strictly personal in relation to the actors in the story
may be depended upon as exactly and scrupulously
true" Published by
