TRAPPING EXTRAoRDINARY.-We are inform
ed by Capt. Conn. that on last Saturday, par
ties from Iowa Hill placed trap in ca1on
some eight miles from the hill, and sue
ceeded beyond their hopes. While watching
it from distance, they observed dozen
grizzlies around the trap, and after waiting
awhile, had the satisfaction of seeing seven
descend. Owing however to the fall being
too light. they retained only three. Two OF
these they have taken out, but the larger Of
the three, (who will weigh about seven hun
dred,) they feel little timid in approaching.
He has torn the floor of the trap (three inch
plank into splinters. A stout cage is being

SELLING LIQUOR TO INDIANs.-It is perhaps,
not generally known that heavy penalty at

drinks to the Indians, so numerous amongst
us. Last week, keeper of a restaurant was
brought up, but plead most utter ignorance.
Judge Foust could not however excuse him.
and he was obliged to fork over the rhino.
1t is unnecessary to say more, than that our
citizens are determined to push every case
discovered, to extremity. We conceive il
right, for the Indians, otherwise peaceable
once once IN liquor; become noisy and qnite trou
blesome
