SoMETHISG OF A CAyE.-In the southern out.
skirts of the city of St. Louis there is large
cave. a portion OF which is occupied by Mr.
English. as beer cellar. The unoccupied parl
of the cave is choked up with the earth and rub
bish of many centuries MIR. English, finding
his share of the subterranean domain somewhat
contracted in the point of extent. is now en-
gagged in removing the earth for some distance
beyond the apartment he has hitherto occupied
thus securing to himself large cellar thirty

IHE INDIAN REsERyE.-Capt. =. E Conner.
Deputy Collector of Customs, stationed al the
TETON Pass, writes that there are about 500 In,
dians on the Reserve in that vicinity, all of
whom are industriously engaged in blowing
sowing, and performing other labor required
about large farm. He says there are no less
than 2,500 acres of excellent land sowed with
wheat, we'll ditclled. with a stream of wai, =
running through the ditch for the distance Of
SIX miles, and from which the whole field can
be irrigated. Connected with the farm is QUO
of the most excellent gardens in California. in
which is planted large quantity of grape vines,
together with the trees of the various tropical
fruits adapted to this climate, such as the orange
peach, apricot, pear, pomegranate. sc. There
are also about 900 head of Cattle on the Re-
serve, together with large number of sheep
and goats.
The Indians appear TO be very happy and con-
tented. Whilst The men perform the labor Of
the farm, the old people do the household work,
and the girls and young women are employed
III making garments for themselves aud the
men.
1t is the opinion of Capt. Conner that after
the hrst year or two the Indians ON this Re-
serve will be able to raise everything for their
own maintenance, and thereby save the govern
ment large amount yearly, which Otherwise
would have to be paid for Indian wars, Indian
depredations. &c.
The success that has so far attended the Re-
serve Is certainly remarkable, and leads US to
anticipate important results.

gate 5000 trips during the eight months in the
year III which they are engaged, give a total of
4,S0O, 900 bushels per pear sold in The Baltimore
market The oysters bring an average price of
80 cents per bushel, which gives a grand total
OF 2,400 900 per year for oysters by the dealers

An EDITOR our WEsr.-According to news
papers of the United States, an editor out
west " is the most universal genius of modern
times He is the father more new things un-
der the sun-the utterer of more profoundly
wise sayings-the perpretaator of more side
splitting puns and witticisms, than all other
"knights of the grey goose quill F" combined.
Indeed he lives and moves the very personifca-
ton of wisdom, huinor, wit and sentiment He
is great p litical economy, great in all man.
ner of governmental affairs, great on the Amer
lean eage-bird, great in law, medicine, physics,
metaphysics, human nature, arts; eminently
great all touching light litel ature, and pre-
eninently great in matters of love. Notwlh-
standing, however that he thus stands above
other men. he by no means makes any great
display in ut,ering his words Of wisdom. The
following from his pen is one ofthe many gems
that we see glittering in every eastern paper
that we pick up, and which we copy for It's pc
culiar appropriateness to this particular lati-
! tude.
"An Editor ont west was invited to take a
| hand at a game OF poker-a fashionable game
! with gamblers the Mssssippi-but he re-
fused, saying-"No, thank ZEE, played poker

pants all the next winter. l have never had
any taste for that amusement since"
