| TIE INDIAN CAPTIVE HuMBUG.-The fol-
lowing, which we clip from the Wyandot Pho
neer confirms suspicious, long since entertain
ed, of bogus pretentions of the celebrated ID
dian Captive:"
AS we have frequently predicted, the "Indi-
an Captive" turns out to be "von gran hum
bug" 1t is said that the Braytons are now
well satisfied that the real name of the Captive
| is William Todd, the son of a methodist min
lister, residing in Michigan and old Mr. Brayton,
who has been so outrageously imposed upon
| by the rascal, has started for Michigan in COM
/ panv with the vounO gentleman for the mr.
pose of making him face his affectionate daddy.

| Captive with so much accuracy that there can
be no mistake about his identity. He is what
| is generally denominated "hard nut, has liv-
ed rowing reckless life, and has lived amongst
| some of the Indians up in Michigan Cana
da, and had squaw wife portion of the
time who had two children during their
| brief matrimonial career. So says the sup
posed father of the individual in his letters to
DIR. Brayton.

the ball passed through the left lung and lodg-
| ed just underneath the skin on the opposite
side. He succeeded in walking about 100
yards to the house, but now lies in very crit
| icle condition.
The following extract from Democratic
| paper, is fair sample of the manner in which
the press of that persuasion pervert the Jan
