A D1PPER CHAP.-The CIeaveland
Plaindealer relates the exploits of boy
in that city:
Police officers attempted to arrest a
boy named Mack. this morning on the
west side of the river, for committing an
assault and battery. He was pursued to
the river, when hcjumped into the water,
swan across, and went under the wharf.
Here he Invested himself of his clothing,
and when likely to be secured, took 10
the water again, and swan across, get
ting between vessel and the wharf.
Boats were stationed at both ends of the
vessels. and when the Jealous officers
were ready to take hold Of him, he disap-
peared and came up outside, near tho
middle of :he stream. The boats made
chase, and on coming up with him, he
made another dive and escaped again.
After diving and rising repeatedly, to
evade his Pursuers, he finally got under
the wharf beneath the lumber-yard and
secured himself where he could not be
got ut. He will quite likely escape. as he
almost ce$er7es 10. for the laughable and
fruitless chase he gave the officers. He
succeeded, before his final disappearance.
in attracting Il large and highly entertain
ed audience. We learn that the amphib-
ious lad, after long exertions; was final
ly captured.

INDIAN FIDELITY AND HoNEsTY.-The
Hon. Isaac I. Stephens, Governor OF
Washington Territory, in letter to the
Commissioner of Indian Affa irs, gives
the following instance Of fidelity on the
part Of certain Indians in that territory,
The Chiefs had promised to refrain attack
on the whites
On the Ist OF November, six Pend d
Oreille Indians came to the post, and de :
lvered up all the horses that were stolen.
1t appears that they were stolen by two
ycung Pend d. Oreilles and run to the
Pend d. Oreilles' camp, then hunting be-
yond the Muscle Shell, under the com.
mand of the chief OF that nation, Alex
an der The horses were recognized by
the stamps as belonging to the whites, and
the young men confessed having stolen
them at this post. A council was
held. and it was determined. that it was
great sin to steal horses from white
men who were friendly to them that
the wishes of the I" Great Soldier
Chief" who had been to St. Mary's
were known to them, and they had
promised compliance with them that
stealing these horses would give the Pend
d Oreills the name Of liars and trifers :;
that they had always borne good name.
and were ashamed to have mean things
said of them now; therefore, the horses
must be taken back by the great chief
and five principal men of the tribe. Ac-
cordingly they came boldly to the fort
and delivered up the horses, without ask
ing any reward, but on the contrary ex-
pressing much sorrow and shame that
thev had been taken.

DEATH FROM EATING THE MAGNOLIA
LEAvEs.-The George Collier, on her
way up. had on board number of Ger
man emigrants, taken from a ship in New
Orleans, all healthy and in good order.
Shortly after the boat left for this city,
she had occasion to stop and take on wood
at some point on the coast. and as soon as
the boat made a landing the Germans all
went on shore. and while there gathered
large quantities of the leaves and flowers
from the magnolia trees, which they took
on board, boiled and ate, and from the ef-
fects of which one man died and four
others came near dying. They had mis-
taken the leaves of the magnolia for cab
bages. supposing that in this fertile coun-
try cabbage grew wild and from sixty to
seventy feet high, as does the magnolia on
the coast. The leaves Of the magnolia
very much resemble those of the cabbage,
but are Poisonous-St. Louis Rep., JWne

TIE INDIANS from all along
the frontier line show that the Western
Indians are unusually hostile. From
Nebraska to the Rio Grande they are
marshaling in small bands, and attacking
the emigraut and settler. The fact is
that the Indian is driven about as far as
he can be driven, and begins to mistrust,
what history SO clearly points out. that
extinction will soon be his fate. He con-
sequenIly resolves to make one more ef-
fort against fate. notwithstanding his ex-
perience of the white mans power. A
general Indian war seems probable and
and it will be the last that history will
have to record. Eighty years ago the
very mention Of Indian war would have
thrown the whole country into conster-
nation. Now all we shall know of it will
be the sending ofa few regiments to the
West, and an occasional paragraph about
a fight, and whether victorious or defeat.
