tion. The feelings of the surviving pri.
soners at this horrid murder cannot be
imagined. They beheld in Mrs. That.
cher's death the fate reserved for them,
when, overpowered by fatigue, they would
be unable to proceed.
About five days after the party reached
Skunk Lake, two Lac-qui-P Parle Indians,
on their spring hunt, made their appear
ancc at the camp of Ink-pa-du-tah's band.
They were well received by the chief and
his followers. A feast followed, at which
the Indians related their exploits at Spi-
rit Lake, boastea of the murders they
had committed, the goods they had sto-
len, &c.
The next morning, having previously
learned that the Indians had three white
women in the camp, they made propo-
sition to purchase one of the captives
After considerable negotiation, Ink pa
du-tah's band consented to part with
Mrs. Marble in consideration Of recciv-
ing one gun, lot of blankets, keg Of
powder, and small supply of Indian
trinkets. The two Indians Immediately
started homeward with Mrs. Marble, and
arrived at Lac-qui-Parle on the Goth of
May. On the journey, occupying ten
days, they treated Mrs. NJ. with g-eat
kindness, furnishing her with warm
clothing, carrying her over streams and
providing her with food.
On arriving at Lac-qui-Parle the two
Indians, who are brothers, and known as
Gray Foot and Roaring Cloud, placed
Mrs. NJ. in their fathers lodge, where
she was treated with equal consideration
and kindaess. Here she remained until
Messrs Williamson and Biggs, mission
aries, arrived and removed her to the
Agency at Yellow Medicine. After a
few days rest with the families at the
Agency aud Fort Ridgley, she started
for St. Paul in company with Mr.. Flan-
drau, and arrived as above stated.
Mrs. Marble is about twenty-five years
Of age, of medium size, and very pleasant
looking. She is native of Darke Coun-
ty, Ohio, and moved to Michigan about
ten years ago. She has been twice mar
ricd. Her first husbands name was
Phips. After his death she married Mr..
Marble, with whom she removed to Linn
County, Iowa, and ultimately to Spirit
Lake, in Dickinson County. Mrs. NJ. is
in a very destitute condition-her hus-
band has been murdered, and as to whe-
ther her parents are alive Or not, she is
ignorant.
Mr.. Flaudrau has adopted the most
energetic measures to secure the release
of Mrs. Noble and Miss Gardiner. On
the I'd he dispatched party or trusty
Indians to Skunk Lake, with four horses
and a wagon, and provided them with
everything necessary to secure the re-

Training q Dalky Horse.

In India, where horse becomes stub
born and refuses to move, instead of
whipping him, as is our custom, or set
ting fire to straw under the belly, as prac-
ticcd in England, a rope is attached to
his fore leg, aud one or two persons go
ahead and pull at the rope. 1t is said
this starts the most refractory horse
The Michigan Farmer says horse be-
came baIky in Detroit short time since,
and neither whipping nor coaxing could
make him stir. 4 rope was fastened a
round his neck, and he was dragged a
short distance by another team, but this
did not effect cure. The rope was
then taken from his neck, passed between
his legs, and fastened firmly to his tail
In this mapner he was dragged short
distance, and when the rope was taken
off the hitherto unruly animal was per-
fectlv obedient to the will of his master
We have seen this method tried, with
similar results. s.-Farmcr and Mechanic.

A Beautiful Idea. .

Away among the Alleghanies there is a
spring, so small that a single OK, in a
summers day, could drain it dry. 1t
steals its inobtrusive way among the
hills, till it spreads out in the beautiful
Ohio. Thence it stretches away thou
sand miles, leaving OH its banks more
than hundred villages and cities. and
many thousand cultivated farms, and
bearing on its bosom more than half a
thousand steamboats,. Then joining the
Mississippi, it stretches away and away
some twelve hundred miles more, till it
falls into the great emblem of eternity
1t is one of the great tributaries of the
ocean, which, obedient only to God, shall
and roar till the anger, with one foot on
the sea, and the other on the land, shall
lift up his hand to heaven, and swear
that time shall be no longer. So with
moral influence. 1t is rivules, a river
--au ocean, boundless and fathomless as
eternity.

The Rev DIR. Hawks, a learned and
eloquent scholar, has recently been deli
vering series of lectures, intended to
show that this continent was peopled by
successive migrations from the old world
at different eras and by different races.
First from the shores of the Mediter.
ranean, which was the earliest seat OF
commercial enterprise, and the people
from which have left their record upon
sthc vast ruins of Yucatan; next from
China and Japan to Mexico, Central and
South America and next from North
ern Asia, from which the American tribes
of Indians came. These theories arc sus-
tained by remarkable analogies between
the languages prevailing in different parts
of the Eastern Continent with those to
be found OIL this Continent.

Mr.. J. H. Stone, Of Hannibal, was in
the city yesterday, with specimens of
pearls taken from the fresh water clans
found in the Nine Mile Creek, in the
town of Hannibal, for the purpose of as
certaining their value. He called at the
jcwelry store of Mr. Parks, and others
in the city We examined the pearls in
the store Of Mr.. Parks, and there is no
question Of their genuineness, and they
were pronounced so by the jewellers.
The specimens exhibited by Mr.. Stone
were about the size of q pea, and he has
about four hundred pearls in all, varying
in size from that of pea down to that
Of = pigeon shot, all Of which were ga
thered from about 1900 clans in couple
Of days. He also has one specimen much
larger than those exhibited, but it was
found in decayed clam, and one side of
it is discolored, being nearly black, which
destroys its value. Mr.. Stone says the
pearl il readily discovered in the clam
by opening it and running the finger
around the shell. The pearl is found
between the shell and the clam itself,
and is formed by disease of the clam,
causing q secretion of the p:arl enamel,
and thus forming a globule, which is the
pearls.
Great excitement has been occasioned
BY this discovery, and large numbers are
preparing to depart for the diggings'
in Hannibal. 1t is estimated that, if
these pearls come up to the supposed
value, those engaged in the search for
them are now averaging $50 to 5000 and
$500 per day. The large pearl which
was found by Mr.. Stone, if perfectly
sound, would probably be worth several
thousand dollars, judging from the size
of the famous New Jersey pearl, which
was valued at S25, 900 Osuege Palla-
diun. 9th.

A striking instanc Of a possession OF a
capability of spreading intelligenc, and
that of somewhat absurd character, is
furnished by experiments that have been
made by Huber and others upon bees,
Every one is aware that the queen-bee is
an object Of the greatest solitude and at
tention to the workers of the hive, and
yet, among so many thousand. and busily
employed in different and distant parts
of the colony, it would appear impossible
for them to ascertain, at least before the
lapse of a considerable time. whether she
was absent or not. In order to sec wheth-
er bees had power Of conveying news Of
this kind, the queen-bee has been stealth
lily and quietly abstracted from the hive;
but here, as elsewhere, i'll news was found
to fly apace. For some half-hour or so,
the loss seemed not to be asccrtained, but
the progressively increasing buzz of az
itation gradually announced the growing
alarm until shortly the whole hive was
in an uproar, and all its busy occupants
were seen pouring forth their legions in
search of their lost monarch, eager to a
venge with their stings, the insult offered
to their sovereign. On restoring the cap
tured queen to her subjects, with equal
secresy, the tumult speedily subsidcd,
and the ordinary business Of the commu-
nifty was resumed, as before the occur
renee. That in such cases as those above
narrated, information, and that of rather
complex character, was transmitted by
one insect to another, cannot be doubted
but by what means? All that has been
ascertained upon this point is that the
ants and the bees cross their antenna in
a peculiar manner with the antenna of
the others that they encounter, and this
action being repeated again and again,
seems to be mode of communicating in
tclligcnce common amongst the insect ra-
