left at home to make hay and take of the ca t
tie, were afraid to 20 out.
THE Sioux killed and scaped man within 30
feet OF his own door, at st. Joseph, in the month
of July.
''These are facts and should be attended to. and
as there are great many OF our people leaving
here and moving down the river to the Sckirk
settlement, owing to the lawcssness of the Indians
and the failure of the Government to protect the

coded by our planters-with many of whom we
have convcrsed-that only about one-half of an
average crop of cotton will be realised the present

well as quality the improvement obtains, and the
amount OF 1eece procurabe from given number
of sheep, of whatever imported breed, has annual

soft, heavier, longer fbered, and turns out more
plentiiully at each successive shcaring.
