Counge Mission sabbath school

Seven and a half years ago Deacon Benjamin
Rouse started Sabbath School in an old build
ing belonging to Judge Jesse p. Bishop. situa-
ted on a lot on St. Clair ssreet,west of Marshall
street, north side. The population Ofthat viein
ity at that time was principally composed of a
rough class Of foreigners. and Offeerd fine field
tor Missionary labor. The School started with
twenty-five ragged and saucy children; but the
Deacon managed, by patience and industry, to
bring them into order and submission, aud that
same School now numbers two hundred and
twenty-five scholars and eighteen teachers
EaIly last spring, Deacon Rouse resigned the
Superintendence Of the School into the hands of
his son Benjamin T. Rouse, Esq who has had
charge Of It ever since.
The lot upon (which the School building here
spoken Of was situated, was the joint property Of
Judge Bishop and James Root, Esq, formerly Of
Cleveland but now a resident of Hartford, Con-
necticut, and was recently donated by them 10
the Society of the Cottage Sabbath School Mis-
sion This lot is sixty-siX feet front by one hun
dred and and thirty IN depth. Judge Bishop, in
addition TO the liberal donation of his share of the
lot, added two hundred dollars as cash sub
seription toward erecting suitable building for
the use of the Sabbath School, and to be used
also for other religious purposes. Deacon Rouse
subscribed one hundred dollars, and number Of
other citizens contributed equally literally
The building Is now in course Of erection, and
will be finished and ready for occupation about
the first Of December next. tits thirty-siI feet

Reliable from the PIaue Gold Mines

Mr. F H Britain, from Burlington, Kansas,
and Mr.. VIM B. Parsons, Of Lawrence, have
returned to Lawrence, from the gold mines on
the South Platte. and report fayOrably. For
two weeks the company ProsPeeted on both
sides OF the Platte, finding gold in sufficient
quantities so that with pick, shovel and pan,
iron 80 to SIS per day could be made. 1t was
the general opinion OF the miners, and among
them several old Californians, that with proper
implements from IS to SIS 90 per day could
be realized The gold is found in the second
bench or bottom Mr Brittan's specimens were
dug about eighty rods from the river. Tie
South Platte has been prospected upon both
sides for some thirty miles, and gold found uni
formly.
The general face of the country is rolling
prairie, very sandy, supporting but little Vege-
tation save the prickly pear. The bottoms OF
the Platte are rich and afford plenty Of grass
The timber at the diggings is mainly cotton
WOOD but within twenty miles are extensive
prairies. The diggings are only ten miles from
the base of the Rocky Mountains, and game IN
the vicinity is plenty. The distance from Law
renee to the diggings is 635 miles, and there
are settlements to within 40 miles of the Lara
ME road on the Platte The remainder of the
route is without human habitation.
There were about one hundred persons at the
mines when Mr. Brittln left on the goth Of Sep
tember, living in tents. Parties were beginning
o, ,,;,-, nd NJ p met frnn, 7c0 To 1000 ad-
venturers on the road He thinks but few Of
them will reach the mines this fall, on account
of heavy SHOWS in the mountains, and that great
hardships will have to be encountered. Pro
visions were toIerably plenty at the mines, but
flour at s25 per hundred is a specimen of the
prices The gold dust is used in the mines, as
currency, at 81 per pennyweight Mr.. Britain
intends to return in the Spring with 4 full out
ft for mining.

m. R.t,Ie vim the Camanche..

Geo W Weed, Ist Sergeant Co. h, I'd Cav
airy, in a letter to his mother gives the details
of the battle between the U. S. troops under
command Of Major Van Dorm on the Both OF
September and the Camanches in the Wichataw
Mountains Maj Van Dorm had scout of four
companies in his command, and party Of
friendly Indians Just as the sun was rising the
force reached the vicinity of the hostile camp,
and every man recapPed his gun and made ready
for the fight When the word charge was CIV
en- the writer says;
Lieut. Van Camp and Lieut.. Phifer took the
lead, as they had fast horses, and came down
on the Camanches Camp ike thunderbolt, fol
ed BY the four Companies. Then the firing com
meneed from both parties. By the time the hTst
yell was given the Indians took up their niles
and poured in vollev as fast as they could; bat
the soldiers soon made them take to running
those that got wounded in the first fire hid IN
rayine that runs along 6y the tents. Lieut.. Van
Camp crossed the Tavine and got opposite the
telts, and called TO the men TO come over there,
when an arrow from an Indians bow pierced
him 10 the heart. His horse was never seen af-
terwsris: Major Van Dorm charged after two
Indians who were going up the hill. He pur-
sued them for about 4 mile, when they both
turhed on him and showed fight, wOunding him
twice-oBce through the breast, and once thrO'
tho arm. Corporal Taylor Of his Company, came
up in time TO share his misfortune, when both
Indians turned upon hun aud showed hard
fight; he being mOrtally wounded, killed one of
them-,he other was killed by member of our
Company.
In about one hours hard fighting We took the
camp, killing in all about so Indians Then the
plundering commeneed-buffalor robes, blankets,
rifles, leggings, and all kinds Of trinkets, the
friendly Indians capturing about 200 animals.
They had in their camp about 600 bushels of
corn and beans, peas, dried pumpkins, dried
mule meat-but It ali ate very good, as we were
very near starved. Camped on the battle field
for five days from the time of the fight. This
is the hardest blow these Indians have ever met
with since they were a tribe, and never before
were they driven from their main camp. For
three days We lived on boiled cora and beans.

Ca,boIic .ewakes,; and FuneraIs.

The reformatory measures recently adopted by
Bishop O'COnner, with the sanction of his con-
gregation for the removal ofceriain abuses in the
manner of conducting Catholic funerals, are be-
ing strictly enforced by the Catholic clergymen
of this city. Now, but two carriages are allow
ed to accompany the remains Of deceased CatiI-
olcs to the church OF cemetery, unless IN s'eclai
cases where the relatives of the deceased are too
numerous to find accommodation in two vehicles
and tie result is, there is total absence OF those
disgraceful scenes that but too often. in days
gone by, marked the interment of our Catholic
fellow-oitizens. Another abuse to the correction
of which the Bishop has turned his attention Is
the manner in which Catholic "wakes, as they
are termed, are sometimes conducted. 1t not
unfrequently happens that, when person dies,
his or her friends collect at the house, and IN
stead Of extending their sympathy TO the rela-
tives OF the deceased, they make the occasion
one Of meniment, and pass the night IN drink
ing, smoking &c. Such scenes are disgraceiul
in a civilized community, and the sooner they
are abolished forever the better. The custom Is
4 senseless and revolving one-the legacy OF a
barbarous age, and any steps towards its abolish
ment should be eheerfully seconded by the
Catholics of the distIict-PHtsbHTgh Chronicle.
Similar refornatOry measures have been adopt
ed here by Bishop RAPPE, with the sanction of
his congregation and the Catholic clergymen of
the diocese, and with the best of results. The
reform is quite general, and we notice that Bish-
op TNox, of Buffalo, and Archbishop PURCELL,
Of Cincinnati, have established ike salutary
rules in regard to funeral professions.

The Detroit Riror Fisheries.

An injunction has been allowed in Michigan
against Martin johnson, of Cleveland, PTOPrie'
tor of certain fisheries near the mouth of De
trOit River, on the ground of their obstruoting
navigation. Since then, meeting has been
held IN Detroit composed of parties interested il
the fisheries, at which Mr. Johnson offered tc
dispose of his pounds, for fair consideration,
to those who felt aggreived The proposition
was declined, for the reason that the grounds
would be valueless unless used in the same
manner that Mr.. J. is using them. The Tribune
says
Mr. Johnson's fish pounds are situated just
above Point Mouliie, near the mouth Of the
river, and little below the northeast corner OF
Monroe county. His nets and lines commence
one mile beyond the Point and extend for the
distance of mile, bringing their outward lin
lis two miles beyond the Point. 1t is alleged
that they form almost complete bar to the en-
trance Of fish in the river Experienced fisher
men feel confident that they are equally liable
TO catch the spawning fish in their exit from the
river. and that therefore the fisheries will ulti
mately be ruined unless the mammoth trap Is
removed. The obstruction TO navigation con-
slsis In the pies uPon WHICH 'ie liies aHu Hets
are laid.
Mr.. johnson claims that the profits he derives
from his pounds are but little more than nomi-
nal. and he exhibited a Custom House state
ment of the amount shipped by him to Detroit
in September and October OF the present year,
which was only 2l4 bbls, mostly catfish, her
ring. &c. as he states. This and similar state
me1ts of his were thought to be made for effect,
as was his proposition to sell oct He claims
that there are from twenty 10 fifty pounds
between his own and the Ohio line, and two
lust above him, at the mouth Of the river. He
thinks It hard that he alone should be molested,
simply because he happens to reside in another
State.
