hcweye, J, happened that at the ensuing meeting
friend of Mr. Bankers suggested the introduction OF
third degree into the Socieb'. Unway Young Amer
lea caught al the bait and third degree, WITH Tue
power Of nominating officers AM otherwise monopo-
zing oil the executive power, was accordingly nitro
duced BY this third degree Mr.. Ban er mas received
tie nomination of Grand Presidenf-the once wn'ch
he slready holds in the know-Hothinc orsa
and although he has not yet beea elected, The p'ooa
bity Is that he will take especial pains to he o>ore
tte ne1t election The socitude of The Grand tresl-
dent for The welfare of bis new Society led him TO
have proposed for initiation his co-worksr in the Ma
tiyist cause, Mr. Daniel UIlmann. Tie ilustr0us
Hindoo was accordingly proposed and on the subss-
quent usti of meeting appeared a candiis.e in the
same Council which had received Mr. Barker. Wait
Ing in Tie sutochamber, the Reporting Con m;ee
called upon him and he was sworn. While his Aand
rested on the sacred voHme he asked, 4" Are vou
zen American bsn within jurisdiction of the Unit,i
" States ?" To wbch-thas settling all doubts as /,
his natiyity-he replied, &" am.' Were your father
asa mother Americans, thus bornl ." No, gentle
mer." was the reply although good Prctestanfs,
nst 1adr.if they rere .atires y France" And al
though his friends urged that this question should be
waived and he admitted, Mr. Unmann was reectodby
a majority of the Order.
such are some Of the untowGrd experiences Of a |
Hndoo politician, but in the case Of Mr. Ullmann we
believe is 10 the first time he has failed to gain an
election, and We dare say it viii not be ihe last.

A SINGULAR SToRY-The following item
of news was given to us by gentleman who
has inst come down from Crow Wing. The
Rev. Mr.. Tanner, formerly Baptist, now Uni
tartan Missionary among the Chippeways,
had been requested by the Superintendent of
Indian affairs, to attend the payment lately
made to those Indians, for the purpose of pre-
venting fraud. He accordingly went, and
from some difficulty that occurred among the
Indians in consequence, he was arrested on
complaint of the chiefs, brought to Sank Rap
ids for examination, and required to give bail
for appearance at the higher court, and in
default thereof was committed to the custody
of the military at Fort Ripley. Soon after
confinement he broke away from his guard,
who discharged his musket at him as he fled
and made his escape. Our informant did not
hear of his being recaptured.- &Anthony Er-

DROWNED, BECAUSE NO EFFORT AT RESCUE

states, on the authority of Mr.. Senator Will
son, of that State, who was on board the
steamboat New World, plying between AL
bany and New York, that a Mr. Heatherly,
of the latter city, and who was accompanied
by his wife, leaped overheard while delirious
with fever and that the engineer refused to
stop the boat, or any of the officers to make
the least effort for his rescue.
This occasioned, as it ought, a strong feel
ing OF Indignation amongst the other passen-
gers, but hope is entertained that the unfor-
tunate man may have had sanity enough, as
he undoubtedly had strength to swim ashore.
