sent her people to Bottony Bay, she was
sending them as it were, out of the world
but not many years ago she found out her
mistake, and that she was sending then
near the great centre, and most valuable
part Of the globe, and then great induce.

Indian Treaty.

On Tuesday the 26th of this mouth, a
treaty was made with the several Indian
tribes at the head of the Sound, whereby
they relinquished all their lands, three
small tracts being reserved to them for
present use and occupation, to wit : An
island opposite Skookum bay ; tract of
1880 acres on the Sound west of the meri
dian line, and 1890 acres on the Puyallup
river near its mouth. Under this treaty
the Indians are allowed the privilege OF
catching fish, of pasturing animals on un-
claimed land, Of gathering roots and ber-
ries, and of living in the vicinity of the set
Elements at the sulferance Of the whites.
Provision was made for an agricultural and
Industrial school with suitable teachers-a
blacksmith, farmer, carpenter and physician
at the agency. Nearly every member OF
the several tribes was present. Six hun
dred and thirty three actually ratified, and
through their chiefs and delegates signed
the treaty 29 came afterwards, and 20
more were on their way. Great pains
was taken to express the provisions Of the
treaty, and the Indians were entirely sat
js6ed.
The remaining Indians on the Sound
will be treated with in January.
