Indians, or both, have attacked several OF the

party, including the latter, had been muir
dered. We have been unable to learn the par
ticulars.
1t is the opinion Of those who are best ac-
quainted with the country in which the parties
were, and the region Of country traverscd by
the various tribes Of Indians, that il these mas
sacres have occurred, they were committed BY
the Pawnees, and charged on the others to 60.
cape punishment. This, also, is the opinion Of
the Surveyo General, now in our city, who
states that the lands upon which the surveyors
were at work have been claimed by the Pawnees,
and that they have ever manifested the greatest
displeasure At their survey by the government
companies.

BoDY FoUYD-PRoBABLE MURDER.-We were
called upon yesterday by Rev. Mr.. Stcrrs, OF
Kankakee, in this State, who has just returned
from La Crosse Wisconsin, and to whom we are
indebted for the following particulars:
On Tuesday last, the 4th inst, the body of a
boy was fouad in the Mississippi River at La
Crosse, with marks OF heavy Flows on the head
and mouth ard OF being stabbed in the neck and
breast. The body appeared to be that Ut boy
of from eleven TO sixteen years OF age. The
Coroner of the county in which it was found
held an inquest upon the body, and verdict
was returned that he was murdered by some
parties unknown.
After the inquest was held, livery keeper at
La Crosse reported that boy who gave his
name as George Smith, came to him on Wednes-
day, the 29th ult., and hire ! horse to 60 into
the country, and came back the same day and
bargained for the same horse to 60 and see his
uncle, who lived about ten miles from La Crosse.
When he came back with the horse he was ac-
companied BY Q man; and in settling for the
horse the boy offered $50 bill in payment
which the livery man could not change. Be-
sides the $50 bill offered, he saw three or four
el0O bills and considerable other money in the
boys possession.
Since that day this boy has not been seen, and
it is suspected that the man who accompanied
him had robbed and then murdered him. The
livery keeper thinks he could recognise the man
should he see him again.
About two weeks previous to this drover
came through the place, and sold to butchers
some cattle, and the latter thinks that the dro-
yer was accompanied by the same boy, and that
the boy WAS his son. He called him BY the
name Of George.
The body, when found, was stripped of all
eloshins.-Chicago Press.

Senator Brown. of Mississippi, has, it seems,
very decided opinions upon all subjects. The
public have learned through a quotation from
one Of bis recent speeches that he is in favor Of

Sir James Clark, of England, has assailed,
with considerable force, the doctrine that a
change of climate is beneficial to persons suf-
fering with consumption; and French physi-
clan, NJ Carriere, has written forcibly against
it. DIR. Burgess, an eminent Scotch physician,
also contends that climate has little or nothing
to do with the cure OF consumption; and that
if il had the curative effects would be produced
through the skin and not the lungs. That q
warm climate is not in itself beneficial, he shows
from the fact that the disease exists in ell lat
! tudes. In India and Africa, tropical climates,
it is as frequent as in Europe and North Ameri-
ca. At Malta, right in the heart of the genial
Medi erranean, the army reports Of England
show that one third of the deaths among the
soldiers are by consumption. At Nice, favor
lite resort of English inyalids, especially those
afflicted with lung complaints, there are more
native born persons die of consumption than in
any English town Of equal population. In &c.
neva this disease is almost equally prevalent
In Florence, pneumonia Is said to be marked by
