known to every man of guinption and we
have not been surprised to hear Of our Mime
sofa neighbors using their publications for this
purpose. At a meeting held at Hastings on
the 3Oth of March, for the purpose Of direct
ing emigration to that part Of the country. it
was determined to subscribe for FIVE hundred
copies Of each newspaper published in that sec.
ton ofcountry. provided the laperswould agree
to devote certain share of their space to the
publication OF matters interesting to people in
The East who contemplate emigrsting.
This plan is similar to that which has been
commenced in variors parts of the West and
we would add for the benefit of those herea-
bouts, that some such plan seems necessary, it
we would obtain our share of the emigration of

That BOW. -


In accordance with an established custom, l
now offer brief salutatory upon this, my first
appearance, as an Editor. II the reader sees
aught to critcisc, it is hoped he will bear in
mind that practice in all departments of bust
ness, is requisite to the full performance of any
duty, and if any improvement is noticed here
after, very well; but shall make no promise in
relation to that matter. Before saying more, !
wish to distinctly impress upon the readers of
the Times the following request: That they
will attribute any change for the worse (should
any occur) in its columns, to my connection
with it, as am well aware in what estimation
It has heretofore been held, and therefore must
be responsible for any deficiency which it may
present in future.
shall have but little to say in relation to
Politics. as l look upon the senior Editor as be-
ing fully competent to manage that important
department, and besides am no politician.
If the time ever arrives, when it becomes
necessary to express an opinion in relation to
sny political measure, it will be done without
regard to clique or party, always advocating
what is thought to be the right, no matter with
whose opinions it may conflict.
With these few words by way of introduc.
ton to the public, they will hereafter be allow
ed to judge of the merits of productions of
which may be the author, and depending upou
the past for guide by which to hope for the
future success of the Times, will DO my best
to make it retain its present standing, and also
to make it paying institution to ourselves.
Trusting this to be sufficient bore, to satisfy
the most c1acting, will give you all liberty to
road it or let il alone, as best suits your conven
fence, and will 'dry up without another word.
Yours ever,

Pawnee chief to blood royal squaw IF the
Ctoe tribe. The bridegroom was named White
water and the bride Wah-m ush ;e->hnya-
The whole affair is one of the best buIlesaues
on the late royal wedding in England, we have

The Chieftains daughter was elegantly
dressed in q red flannel shirt with deep blue
calico border, a checked apron, summer kill.
ed buffalo robe, and a white felt hat. Her
jewels were magnificent From either au,icu.
lar suspended bright ornaments of brass, tin
and cop er.
We must not omit to mention that Miss Wa.
mush-p e-shinga also wore ''red petticoat,"
embroidered according to design of her own,
with porcupine quilts, representing desperate
dog fight. Her entire wardrobe and jewelry
could not cost less thad six thousan, dollars in
Fontenelle money. The bridegroom was at
tired in all the magnifcence which his rank and
wealth demanded. He wore standing shirt
collar, medal Of President Pierce, blue
straight-collared soldier coat with brass buttons
and an elegant pair of Spanish spurs. while his
stalwart loins were admirably clothed in an
Gent coffee sack. Altogether. the appearance
Of both the bride and groom was appropriate to
their sphere in life.
The most sumptuous feast awaited the guests
at the residence of the brides father. It was
spread in camp kettle and suspended over the
fire that burned in the centre of that prncely
lodge. It consisted of young dog meat, very
tender, blue corn and old dog meat, beaver tails
and mule steak, fresh fish, and sugar, making
altogether, one of the most palatable and nour-
