The extraordinary labor Of the Commissioner
in negotiating these treaties, was occasione ed by
the efforts of traders and their agents, who were
IN the habit of visiting the Indians at night,

Threats were then made, that ifin this partieu-

not doggery left. Wounded men were
constantly being borne up from the Levee
to Broadway, during the time of the
fight, and such terror reigned in the neigh

on Fourth for some distance down, were
closed and remained closed during the af.

thought that the disease could be subdued
by medical treatment; but the mortality
became SO fearful .ha, the laborers were
advised by the employers to fly. The
whole party left, some going one way and
some another. We are now informed by

ISyDAt the close Of the exercises of the Sci
entifc Institute, the following resolutions were
reported by Committee of three ladies and
three gentlemen, and UNANIMOUSLY adopted by
the Institute:
Whorons, VIC recognize a sad deficiency on
the part of Teachers in the use of apparatus,
and in the practical application of scientific
principles; therefore,
Resolved, That A. Holbrook. Chas. S. Royce,
David Parsons and J. Markham be Committee
to address a circular to the teachers of the
State setting forth the importance of Scientif-
ic Institutes, and urging upon them concert of
action for the purpose of sustaining them; and
to mature some plan of operation to present to
the Ohio State Teachers Association at its next
annual meeting, inviting its cooperation.
Resolved, That the practical knowledge we
have obtained by the use of A. Holbrook's ex-
tensive apparatus; that the rich results of our
own manipulations in Chemistry, Natural Phi
losophy, Geology, Mineraldgy, Botany, &C.,
that the demonstrative tests of Minerals with
acids, the blow-pipe and other means that the
amount Of information that has been impaired
upon the sciences by the aid of Philosophical
Experiments, Manpulations, use of Charts,
Minerals, Fossils and Chemicals, and the ease
with which, We find, persons can learn to use
apparatus, manipulate, and apply various tests,
in the short space Ct two or three weeks, call
upon to speak decidedly and emphatically in ia.
vor of the 'Noyel scheme of Scientific Insti.
tute."
Resolved That We feel ourselves under great
obligations to Mr.. Holbrook for taking the lead
in this important reform of the day, by which
we feel ourselves so much profted, and so plen
tifully supplied with that which seems to be al
indispensable stock for the practical Teacher.
Resolved, That the true way of expressing
our appreciation of the instructions received al
this Institute, will be to carry with us into oul
respective schoo-rooms the same zeal and prac
teal knowledge that we have seen exempifet
by Mr.. Holbroo]i before his class.
Resolved; That the thanks of the members
of this Institute be rendered to the Newspape
Editors of this State, for their lberality il
publishing notices Of this Institute.
Resolved, That copies of these resolutions b
forwarded to the Ohio Journal of Education
the Type of the Times, and to the papers o
this county and of Cleveland for insertion, an
that Editors of other papers be requested t

JAPANESE UPPER TEN-The Japanese
are fond of eggs; they boil them hard,
and eat them at the desert like fruit, fre~
quently with oranges. Sometimes they
boil them in soup with vegetables. For
people of distinction, fowls are kepi in
rooms, where they lay their eggs, and arc
fed with rice. The great people would
no, eat the eggs of fowls that rnn about
at their will and pick up what they can
find. Many keep also swans, geese and
turkeys, bu, more for pleasure, as we do
peacocks, which they also have. The
gall of the bear is made by them into a
solid mass, and used as strengthening
medicine, for weakness in the stomach,
and other disorders. 1t is highly valued
by the japanese for its medicinal virtue,
and paid for at high price.
