The authorities are arousing themselves to the
necessity Of doing something to fight the cholera in
case it should assume the character of an epidemic
As yet, whatever it may have done in other places,
the disease has assailed one in Boston who could
have claimed to be respectable that word is gene
rally used. The sufferers were unquestonaby wor-
thy people but their modes Of life resembled rather
those OF men in the very primitive ages of the
world than such as characterize an extremely ad-
vanced and highly refined state of society. Half
score of people in the same room, in one of the
worst streets Of the worst quarter of a dirty and
dusty city, at the beginning of summer, may be
considered, if not tempting of Providence at least
defiance to cholera, which that grim member of
the grisly family of disease would not in con-
science, allow to be put forth with impunfty. It is
a great pity that our Irish population cannot be
taught that it is cheaper and safer to be
clean than to be filthy, and that If they
will not use water in any other way, be induced to
externally apply it to their persons their priests
instead Of drilling them into political machines, to
the exciting of the rage and enmity Of the native
born population, would only make use of their vast
influence to nculcate upon their observance certain
sanitary truths, received by all civilized men, and
indeed by all human creatures who have risen above
piggeries, it is not impossible that we might cease

THE .ELEGRAPH.
Indian BOY Rccorered

Many OF our readers no d0nbt remem-
er the exciting trial which took place at
Oshkosh, in 1852 between two rival clai-
lnents TO boy about years old. A
family by the name Of Partridge had lost
q boy some three years previous, and af-
ter vainly searching for him for some
weeks, it was concluded that lie had been
stolen by thc Indians. Between one and
two years thereafter boy, answering
Ycry nearly inspoint Of age. size and fea-
lures, to the description of the lost boy
Partridge, was found among the Menom-
once Indians. The neighbors persuaded
Mr.and Mrs. Partridge apparently 4gainst
their own judgment, that this WAS their
lost child. They laid claim to him &C
cordingly. On the other hand, an Indi-
IN woman of the Menomonees, insisted
tibet he was her son, and al the tribe
sustained her assertion. A trial for the
possession of the contested child YVES ac-
cordingly held before Commissioner E.
l.. Buttricll, now of this city, who afte9
patient hearing Of the case decided in
favor Of the Indian mother. But before
the Sheriff succeeded in enforcing this
decision, some of the Partridge family
made off with the child and carried him
out of this State
The Sentinel commented sharply upon
their conduct at the time and sustained
the decision of Commissioner Buttrick.
The Indians complained and with reason
that after submitting to the White Mans
law and obtaining decision in their IA

County and vicinity, so far as could be

rather adverse to the Indian mothers
claim. Not long afterwards, however,
.he bones Of small child were found in
swamp near here the lost boy Of the
Partridge's had last been seen. The be-
lief then became general that the boy
abducted by the Partridgc's belonged to
the Indian woman who had claimed him.
Representations on the subject were &c

took up the matter warmly, proceeded
