THE SIoUx WAR.-We have had quite ex-
citing details from various points in Iowa and
Minnesota Of terrible and bloody Indian dep
relations, in which two frontier settlements,
in North West Iowa. had been destroyed and
nearly all the inhabitants massacred. The
last st. Louis papers contain a long and very
minute account of the operations Of the troops
in the form of an official communication from
the commander Oft the Iowa volunteers to Gov
crnor Grimes, of Iowa. the substance ofwhich
viii be found, containing very interesting and
highly exciting details, on our first page. 1t
bears all the marks of authenticity, and is
published as official in the st. Louis papers.
But the telegraph reports it to he a most out
rageous ''sell''-thatit is fiction from begin
ming to end-that there have been no disturb
ances Of any kind among the Indians in tina,
quarter. There is to be a sale of o. s. lands
in the vicinity of the scenes Of these reported
outrages, and it is now said these fictitiou.
fights, and bloody scenes, and terrible suffer
ings, have been conjured up by unprincipled
land spectators. to frighten away purchaser,
from the land sales, in order to give the au-
thors of this hoax chance to monopolize the
| best tracts.

THE EXTENSION or THE +. & c. RAD
The Rockville Republican says that the prop
osition to change the terminus of the T. IL
C. Road from Charlottesville to Attica is ere
ating sensation among the Crawfordsvill-
ians, who are uttering discouraging predic-
tons that the road to Attica will never be
built. The Republican in reply speaks con-
idently that it viii speedily be ubilt, and
says:
1.-The citizens north Of Rockville, on the
route to Attica, are waking up to the neces-
sity of laying Railroad. The citizens OF
Rockville are in favor of making Attica the
terminus of the road. and have given almost
universal consent. :. They have long since
abandoned the idea that Charlottesville de-
sired the Road. for the reason that there wa:
not sufficient taken in that place to grade a
mile of the Road. The Charlottesville peo-
pie state that the distance to Attica from
this place is 30 miles. Ii they will look al
the map they will find that il is only 8 mile:
longer than to Charlottesville. The Road
to Attica in the opinion of competent engin-
GERS can be built cheaper, even at 6 miles
longer, than to Crawfordsville.'

"A MosT STARTLING DIscLosURE.-Messrs.
j. Breck Il Co., a very extensive dry goods
house in New York, were obliged, some time
ago, to suspend, and their failure caused
good deal of surprise, and they were not
themselves able TO give very clear account
Of the causes of their misfortune. In the set
Element and investigation of their affairs
which followed they have discovered that
their confidential cashier has, for series Of
years, carried on q system Of embezzlement,
and that he has distracted from their funds
the enormous sum Of $3.50, 900, good deal Of
which he has invested in property in his own
name. His accounts had been regularly bal
anced, but the balances had been forced, and
the difference between the true and false bal
anoe had been embezzled. The cashier had
enjoyed the fullest confidence of his employ
ers, and until the discoveries recently made
was not suspected. 1t is stated that he ha,
made a confession TO his employers in regarC
to the disposition made by him Of the embez
zlcd funds and has already made over Il
them considerable amount of his ill-gottei
property, and hopes are entertained that NOR
will be recovered. He was Scotchman, b,
the name of McIllven, and had always stoo'
high in the city; enjoyed the full confidenc
of his employers, and was captain Of a crac
military company. The embarrassments G
his employers were caused by his heavy drain
upon their funds.

O. II. SMITH.

sB According to the Gazette, the Old
Line Democracy of Knox, held meeting at
vincennes on Saturday last to approve the
course of Buchanan in giving out material
pap, and to pass a resolution running in this
wise:
"Resolred, That the principle Of rotation
in Office is one based upon constitutional law
us well ms founded in equality of right; there
fore,
We. the Democrats of Knox, heartily en-
dorse the course of Mr.. Buchanan in his ap-
pointments."
The beauty Of this joke is, that the meet
ing was composed of all the disappointed
office-seekers in and about Vincennes. Their
"cake being dough" for the spells of this
victory, they are applauding the policy that
cut their political heads off, in the hope OF
getting something next time.

AGE AND DEBILITY.

As old age comes creeping it brings with it many
attendant infrmties Loss Of appetite and weakness
impair the health, and want Of activity makes the mind
discontented and unhappy. In cases where old age
adds its influence, IL is almost impossible o add vigor
and health, and although many remedies have been
tried, all have failed, until BERHAvE'S HOLLAND
BITTERS were known and used. In every case
where they have been employed, they have invariably
given strength and restored the appetite. They have
become great agent for this alone, and used by
many people who suffering from loss Of appetite
and general debility. In cases Of long standing chronic
diseases, they act as charm, invigoatng the system
thus giving nature another opportunity To repair phys
ical injuries. See advertisement in another column.

An ExTRAoRDINARy CLAIM.-The n. York
Evening Post reports an interesting case which
came up in the Supreme Court on Saturday.
In 1917, Paul Spofford, now one of the most
prominent merchants in New York, entered
into copartncrship with Amos ii. Hatch in
the boot and shoe business at Haverhill, Mass.
In 1923 they separated and engaged in differ
ent branches Of business. but there was no
formal dissolution of partnership. After that
Mr.. Spotford grew richer, while Mr.. Hatch
grew poorer; and, in 1916, he was declared q
bankrupt. In ls47 he filed bill in the late
Court OF Chancery against the plaintiff. for M
account under the partnership, founded upon
an instrument under seal, dated 1929. An
answer was put in. but the suit was discon-
tinued in November, 1886. subsequently
Mr.. match commemorate suit in n Connecticut
Court. the basis of which is the copartnershiI
agreement. Damages are laid at the modest
sum of 500, 900. The complaint in the Su-
preme Court is fled by Mr.. Spoford, asking
an injunction restraining the prosecution %
any suit based on the coPartnership in ques-
ton. A preliminary injunction has beer
granted, and a motion is now pending to dis
solve it.

ENGLAND AND CHINA.-It is suspected that
the English Military operations in the Eas-
tern provinces of India are with the view of
extending her conquests INTO the rich districts
of Southern China, and if China does not
yield to her present demands, her naval oper-
atoms on the Eastern coast, will be followed
by an invasion of her Western and Southern
frontiers. England may yet subject the
whole of the central and Southern portions
of Asia to the Anglo Saxon rule.
