A STRANGE FIsn.--Thc Honolulu papers notice
n very curious fish, which was taken by some ma
tiycs who were fishing for shrimps. 1t is of n
dark color about five inches long, two inches thick,
and about four inches from the top of the fin on
its back to the bottom Of it's belly. 1t has n re-
markaby large head, and four feet or claws, which
enable it to creep the sides of rocks with great
ease. When placed in n stream of water it threw
out quite stream from under the fins on each
side of its body, then took circuit round the
bucket by cngng to the sides and walking appa-
rently with great pride. The feet resemble some
whit the paws of bear. Is this new fish, or u
member of an ancient family seldom met with
1t is difficult to comprehend how fish SO differ
ent in form from the existing species should pre-
sent itself just now for the first time. And yeti
may he so, for creation is constantly adding new
links to the chain of living creatures.

The following table shows the growth of
the trade since 1874

In consequence of the various changes
during the season in the routes of the differ
ent boats, we are unable to ascertain from
the Wharf Masters report, the exact mum
Der of trips made by each boat, from the
several ports connected with this city by
lines of boats. But it will readily be seen
from the number of trips made by the boaIs
running on the Minnesota river, that our
internal trade is steadily increasing. The
high water on the Minnesota river in the
early part Of the season allowed boats to
reach higher point than in any previous
year. The Frank Steele went up to the
Yellow Medicine, and the distance of her
length farther up that stream than any other
boat had ever reached.
This season is remarkable for the opening
Of navigation on the Red River of the North.
The steamer Arson Northrup was taken in
pieces across the country, and put together
on the banks of that stream, launched, and
started on her first trip the 9Th of june
She made several trips during the season,
and was finally sold to J. G. Burbank e.
Co., for $4,000. These gentlemen have a
contract to transport from st. Paul to Fort
Garry, 500 tons of merchandise each year
for the Hudson's Bay Company.

an insult an offer of Federal protection were
it made. True dignity is violated by undue
Importance given to this miserable raid of a
few frantic fanatics; it should have been
classed with Baltimore riot or New
Orleans election-a heinous crime, to be
sure, but not one implying frightful danger
to the South. Yet Southern Journals
persist in calling it an nsurrectiOn-persist
in speaking of it in quaking voice and
trembling tones, as though the whole social
fabric of the South were but magazine of
powder, which awaited the slightest spark
for an irretrievable explosion. And such,
indeed, is the impression most industriously
produced abroad, and even among the timid
souls of our own section, by this silly, craven
policy contemplate anywhere, and most
unworthy of Southern men.
The facts upon which the Enquirer predi-
Gates its nonsensical effusion are untrue in
themselves, and their allegation intrinsically
absurd. According to its own showing the
slaves might run away from the border
counties, get they do not. The real cause
OF the abolitionizing of Virginia, which is a
fact too sadly true, is the high price of slaves.
How many Virginans are sufficiently self
sacrificing their devotion to our labor system
to refuse the 81 300 for negro which the
Southwest can afford to pay them, when they
can hire white laborer in his place for $l2
month, with the additional advantage of
discharging him when sick, or when there is
not work enough? Let the Enquirer and
its worthy patron who wakes so intermina-
bly, eloquent over the Immortality of the
slavetrade, let them put that in their pipes
and smoke it. Like the Chinese from their
opium puffs, they may perhaps inha lie obliv-
ion of the real wants of the South, which is
more slaves and not Federal protection for
those it is fully able to protect without
Northern assistance.

/ Sickles Tragedy at Port Huron.

We learn that one of those tragedies that
so often result from conjugal infdelity, was
enacted Yesterday afternoon at Port Huron,
with, probably, fatal results.
1t seems that Mr.. Frederick >McGees or
Mckee, has for some time past suspected
his wife of an improper intimacy with Dr..
Froinde, an old resident and prominent
physician and citizen of Port Huron. His
suspicious had greatly aroused his jealousy,
and led him to watch the parties very close
", but with the attainment OF no positive
proof until yesterday.
In the afternoon he went to his residence,
which is situated on Butler street, near the
Congregational Church, and attempted to
enter through the front door, but to his sur
prise found it locked. As this door was
never fastened except when his wife was
absent from home, and knowing that she
was not so absent at the time, his suspicious
were Immediately excited to very high
pitch. He proceeded cautiously to the rear
of the honse, and entered by door which
communicated with the sitting room, from
which bed room opened off. Stepping in
quickly, his worst suspicious were fully and
conclusively confirmed by positive evidence,
which admitted of no doubt or explanation.
He Immediately drew a revolver, with
which he was armed, and fired. Two balls
took effect in the thigh of DIR. Froinde, and
two others passed through the fleshy part
of the other leg. The injured husband then
left the house, informed the neighbors of
what he had done, and surrendered himself
into the custody of officers. The wounds of
the Doctor were severe, and council of
physicians last night thought it not possible
for him to recover, the balls in the thigh
having inflicted severe wounds.
The matter naturally caused the greatest
excitement at Port Huron. DR.. Froinde
has always occupied quite prominent po-
sition, while his assailant has borne the rep
utation of peaceable and unoffending citi-
zen.-Detroa Tribune. 22d.

months, in reaching and communicating with

months, in reaching and communicating with
the wild and hostile tribes of his agency.
The nations composing the mort hern por-
ton of the powerful Sioux tribe are deeply
imbued with spirit of hostility to the
whites and that portion Of the tribe further
south, whom they regard as having COM
bined with the pale faces to rob them of
their lands, and hasten the extinction of the
Indian race. They recognize the fact that
the whole race is doomed, but succumb to
their fate with the illest possible grace
They have sworn vengeance dire against
any white man who may be found within
their territory, and it is not unlikely this
threat will be carried into strict execution.
The movements of the different exploring
parties who have been through that region
have the deepest significance in the eyes of
the Indians Many of them were disposed
to refuse the presents and annuities which
were offered to them, regarding them as a
sort of nominal payment for the country,
which they fear they may be called upon to
leave at any time.
Major Schoonover and party conveyed the
goods they had in charge up the Yellow
Stone near six hundred miles. He assures
US that this river is navigabe for steamers
to distance OF nine hundred miles above its
confluence with the Missouri. 1t is much
the larger river Of the two and is the real
Missouri, having all its characteristics. such
as alluvial bottom, cottonwood timber. &c.
which distinguish this stream throughout
its course. For the first four or five hun
dred miles above the junction the Yellow
MI
ductive, Astounding, however, in the most
ineXhaustible beds of coal. But further up
the character of the country changes, pre-
senting fertile districts, well wooded and
adapted to settlement.
If Major Schoonover's opinion of the
navigability of the Yellow Stone be well
founded, and we see no reason to doubt it,
the introduction of steamboats, into it would
prove of good moment to the Government
and the whole Northern portion Of the
Rocky Mountain country. By means of
the navigation of this river Government
stores and every character of goods might
be landed within four hundred miles of
Great Salt Lake City, and at a point very
near several of the forts Of that region.
We are assured that there would be no
difficulty in finding wagon routes across the
country from the banks Of the Yellow
Stone. We need scarcely suggest then that
this river offers the Government the means
Of saving millions in the transportation of
supplies Westward.
Major S. left Captain Reynolds, of the
Typographical Engineers, at Fort Sarpy,
on the Yellow Stone. This officer is en-
gagged in exploring and examining this
country, and is making excellent progress
in the work. He will winter at Platte
Bridge.
Major Schoonover left Fort Union on the
2lst of September and reached here on the
steamer Florence yesterday, and took the
GAO train on the Hannibal and ST. Joseph
Railroad for st. Louis and the East
