INDIAN AFFAIRs.-A payment was
made by an agent of the Government to
the Indians of SAINT st. Marie on the
98th ult. About 600 Indians were
present, and after the money had been
rated to each family and the presents
distributed they scattered to various
parts of the town in great glee. Long
before night the poor Indian was made
victim to the white mans avarice, and
the purchase money for his broad lands
had been taken in exchange for the
vilest whisky. They we're soon running
madly from place to place, wallowing in
the muddy streets, dead drunk upon
the walks or fighting in the stores and
rumholes.

OEE MosrH LArEE FROM FoRr
IAzDaIE.-The correspondent Of the
ST. Louis Democrat says;
Shortly after the battle Of Blue Wa
ten. Gen. Harvey held talks with the
OlipaIIa and Brule bands Of the Sioux,
in which they agreed to deliver up the
murdsrers OF the mail party and TO con-
fine themselves to prescribed district
of country. Gen. Harvey sent word to
Little Thunder, the Chief of the party
engaged in the battle Of Blue Water.
that il he behaved himself he should
not be molested 1t has been generally
supposed that Little Thunder was killed
in the battle Of Blue Water, but this
was not the ease; he escaped unhurt.-
All of the prisoners taken in the battle
some seventy women and children
have been sent to fort Kearny. One OF
the Indians concerned in the massacre
of the mail party, called Spotted Tail,
was in the battle of Blue Water, and
received four wounds--two pistol shots
passed through HIM and receiving two
sabre cuts, and stiIl he escaped on the
horse of Dragon, which had prOba-
bly, thrown his rider.
1t was the general impression at the
Fort that there would be no more fight
ing, The presence of so large an arm
ed force seems to have a most salutary
effect upon the Indians. and they will
be glad enough to keep quiet. There
was a report that the Indians had at
tackled and killed the party Of Sir Geo.
Gore, but this report is noticed only to
discredit it. The rumor was not be-
lieved at Fort Laramie. and is improba'
BILE in its nature--Sir Georges COM
pany, consisting of a large number ol
mountaineers. could whip any Indian
force likely to be brought against them
The winter had set in with great Sc
verify at Fort Laramie--ice was formed
about the middle of September Or
the 5th of October, great snow storm
was experienced by the party. Itlastet
for several hours.
The Military Court Martial, or
dered for the trial of Captain Howe anC
others had been dismissed without pro
ceeding with the business before it--oI
sccount of irregularity in the order con
atItuting it.

RETURN OF MRs. JUDD.-It will be
gratifying to the many friends Of Mrs.
DIR. Judd to know that she has arrived
in the United States. She and her hus-
band were among the first missionaries
to the Sandwich Islands, and now, after
an absence of nearly thirty years, Mrs.
Judd has returned to visit her numerous
friends from whom she has been so long
separated. 1t will be an additional
qualification to many friends to know
that she is accompanied by her two
eldest daughters and her eldest son.

SERVED HIM RIGHT.-A drunken black
guard named Phil. JEFFERs begged
admission into the Hindoo Pagoda
last Thursday night, and after he be-
came seated interrupted the lecturer
and the audience with many loose re-
marks, which greatly edited several
fools like himself, who had no business
in congregation of decent and well
behaved people. The lecturer very Po-
Htely requested him to cease his inter-
ruptions, but the blackguard was too
full Of whiskey and fight to take any
friendly advice, and it was found neces-
sary'to eject him. While preparations
were being made to GUST him, he swore
BE would shoot the first man that laid
hands on him, but couple OF well di-
rected blows m the face from skilful
Est knocked all the shooting propensity
out of bis muddIed head and brought
him to his senses. They dragged him
out as they would a hog and threw him
into the river to cool off his ardor. All
such yagabonds should be served the
same way.
A younger Jefers drew butcher
knife on one of the Hindoos, but imme-
diately had business at the top Of the
teyee with the Hindoo close behind him.
The same night this fellow in comrany
with Frank Walker was chased from a
chicken roost Of one Of our citizens.
An elder brother named Bill Jeffers
is now confined in our Jail awaiting trial
for passing raised note, altered from
one to ten dollars. He passed it or
Mr.. John Dages about eighteen months
since, and prosecution has been deferred
from lime n tine win the hope that he
wonld redeem the bill, but finally Mr.
D. had to resort to the law, and tht
matter now stands between the prisonei
and the State Of Ohio.

FINE APPLEs.-We received a box
of the largest and finest apples last
week from some unknown friend that we
ever saw. 1t contained several varie-
ties, among them handsome specimens
of the Cooper and Red Baldwin, favor
ite apples in this section. The doner in
a note signed Pomologist requests us to
accept them without note or comment,
but the apples are too fine to accede 10
his request. The farmer that can raise
such fruit should be known, and it is our
private opinion that Mr.. JONATHAN MID
pLEswARTis the man.

TnE PUBLrc LANDs.-It is stated, as

TRE PUBLIC LANDs.-It is stated, as
a fact, that the public lands of the Uni
ted States are rapidly running out. The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Courier says:
We have nominally I, 100000 square
miles, that is some eight or ten hundred
millions of acres; but perhaps ive-sixths
of the entire quantity is uninhabitable
and valuTess. Already the government
is unable to supply lands in Minnesota
to actual settlers at the maximum price
of 81 25 per acre. We sold and gave
away in 1853-'54, 93,OOO.O 900 Of acres.
We sold at a nominal sum during the
past year 100000 acres, and gave
away to States and individuals proper
ty enough to make good the enormous
quantity of 8O,O0O,0OO of acres. At
this rate how long will our two.or three
hundred millions of available public
lands supply the demand for the pur-
pose of settlement, TO say nothing Of the
Treasury in time Of war or financial dis
tress. In Minnesota, which has $4,000
inhabitants, the lands to be offered this
season have been reduced from four to
one million Of acres. The lands cannot
be surveyed as fast as Congress gives
them away. This is said to be the cause
of the reduction of the quantity offered
in Minnesota. In Utah. already settled
by some $4,000 Mormons, the base line
has Just been established. and perhaps
years must elapse before the govern
ment, so wholly absorbed is it in the
work of gratuity, can furnish legal
title to the lands occupied by its citizens.

IMNIGRATIoN.-For the last few days
our streets have presented quite lively
appearance. "Praine SchoOners," with
their white tops containing men, women
and children, labelled "Iowa," are seen
vending their wav in every direction.
Twenty five years ago says contem-
porary, "Iowa was nothing but a will
derness, tenanted only by the Abort
gines. In 1910 it contained 1919
white inhabitants, and in 1850 its popu-
lation had increased to 1924. Dur
ing the same year it had 924, $50 acres
under improvement, and the assessed
value of its farms was S16,657. .567.-
In this State to-day are more than fifty
thousand horses and proportionate'
number Of cattle; one hundred and
seventy thousand sheep, and half
million of swine; while the value of
live stock cannot be short of FIVE mil
lions of dollars. 1t now yields annual
ly upwards Of two million bushels of
Indian corn. Its territory embraces If
ty thousand square miles, or four thous
and more than the Empire State, and
while it has only four or FIVE persons to
the square mile, New York has nearly
seventy. There are now a million and
half acres of rich, productive land in
the State of Iowa that are unimproved.
When all her agricultural resources are
developed; when she ships her hundred
million bushels of corn annually by one
or more of her Pacific Railroads to
China and the islands along the route,
then will the Union feel enriched by the
Iowa link in the bright chain OF Western
commonwealth. - Maqxoketa LOs0a)

HThe Cincinnati Times says:

HARD BUT FAIR.-After all the effort
that was made by the friends of Salmon
P. Chase, to refute the charge of Alb
olitionism made againts him, we find in
the New York Tribune, the following in
regard to this election: r. a-r sr
"In Ohio, different policy was pur-
sued. Old party issues and party
names were ignored and REPuBLIcAN
State ticket nominated, with Salmon P.
Chase at its head Mr.. Chase was not
and never had been Know Nothing;
he Scos a zceH knoun A6olitiOnist; and
the circumstances connected with his
election to the United States Senate, by
a combination of Democrats and Aboli-
tionists which deprived two Wing Rep
resentatiyes of their seats--it was
thought, wrongfullyZmade him the
very hardest man that could be found
for stubborn Wings to vote for. 1t was
perfectly notorious that there were
Anti Nebraska men in the State who
could run many thousands of votes bet.
ter than he could"
Now remember that the Tribune is
the avowed leading Abolition organ of
the United States, and Salmon P. Chase
is one of its favorite heroes. What do
those dear friends of Salmon P. Chase
think now? Those who spent weary
days and sleepless nights in vain de-
NAL of fact established by every act
of his life during the last few years.

~A farmer named JoHN BRADrrELr

~A farmer named JOHN DRADfiELD
4. left Springfield township, in this county,
the latter part of March last, for the
West, with his family, consisting of a
wife and SIX children, all in good health.
AT Davenport, Iowa, the father was ta-
ken sick with. a fever and died. The
mother and children then continued
the journey towards their new home.
when shortly after two of the daughters
were prostrated with the fever and died.
The mother then becoming sick and
disheartened retraced her steps and
reached here week or two since with
the remnant of her family, and took up
her abode at the place formerly owned
by her husband. An administration
notice in another column tells the rea-
der that the mother too is numbered
with the things that were. The four
remaining children of happy family
comprising eight persons last spring,
are now confined with the same fever
that carried off their parents and sis
ters, and if they escape with life it will
only be to buffet the cold charities of
an unfeeling world. Can they realize
the desolation few short months have
brought about? These are some of the
hardships incident to the location in a
new country. Some families pass
through unscathed but many are deci-
mated.

q. S. SENAToR.-Mr. Wade is un-
doubtedly the first choice of the people
of Ohio, and we expect to chronicle his
reelection in due time. He has shown
himself fearless champion of Liberty
under the Constitution. He will be
opposed by those who think the Con-
stitution was adopted for the sole pro-
lection of the South in the institution
of Slavery. Those who believe in Re-
publican equality will find no difficulty
in continuing Mr.. Wade as their repre-
sentative in the Senste.-State Journal.
We supposed Giddings, Wade or
some other abolitionist would be set
prominently before the members of the
Ohio Legislature as reward for servi-
ces in behalf of Chase, long before the
session commenced. We hope that
body will be composed of men wit
sufficient honesty and pride to put down
all such woolleys--but there is no telling
what will turn up in these negro-stealing
times.
RThe foundation has been laid
and the brick work progressed some
four feet towards erecting large -four
ing mill on the corner of State and
Third streets. The company is com
posed of enterprising men, with whom
there is no such word as "fail." They
are--Wm. H. Langley, John Hutsin-
pillar and Reuben Aleshire. 1t will be
ready for grinding next season. after
which very little grain will be shipped
from this county. In future number
we shall give the dimensions of this
mill.
