sLo! THE PooR 1xDIAH.s-S Several families Of
the Wlnnebago Indians are encamped just above
town, hungry and destitute. Game = scarce tho
present winter, and the Indians are induced
der to obtain food. The miserable wretches
would no doubt sooner starve than till the
ground, and thus gain livelihood BY their own
industry. One Of them the other day, while in
toxieated, fell from his horse and injured him
severely. At one time he was supposed TO be
dead, and the Indians began to make prepara-
tons to bury him He is still alive, however, and
will probably recover. The '.fre-water,n which
the Indians will have in one way or smother, Is
fast doing its deadly word among them, and ere
long these worthless redskins will be known on
ly in name. Il used to be our custom occasion
| ally, when at the East to publish an indian ro-
| nance, but here such tales do not take" The
frequent opportunities which western people
have Of seeing the filthy wretches takes the ro-
nance ell away from the name Of Indian Hwa-
tina appears beautiful in song, but mot in lousy
blankets. Tis
distance lends enchantment to the yicw."

SOMETHING OLD.--There was trial in the CITY
last week, about mans selling beef the animal
having died from some disorder; il was sold TO
another man who dressed il and offered it for
sale in our streets, most of which he sold, caus-
ing the sickness Of those who partook Off,
They were both tried before Justice Germond
who fined them e5 and costs, amounting in ill to
about $25.
We are glad to see Justice done to snch men
who know the Law and evade 1t for the gain Of
few dollars, thus risking the health Of the CON-
munity. This is the first instance Of the kind,
ii another instance occurs we hope they will be
made to suffer the full extent Of the Aw.-Ma-
qaoketa Excelsior
! The fine ought to have been 800 apiece, with
80 days, on bread and water, in the county Jail.
FIRE Just after twelve o'clock on Sunday
| morning, our citizens were aroused from their
slumbers by the cry Of Fire! and the ringing Of
| BELLS HfI
| When We arrived at the scene Of conflagration
we found the Brewery belonging to Mr. Stephens
enveloped in flames, with fair prospect Of their
extending to other buildinds but by the exer-
tions Of the citizens assembled, and the aid Of
kind Providence, who said to the wind ssbe STILL"
none but the Brewery and small buiading ad-
joining it were destroyed. We are not posted a.
TO the amount of damage, but should Judge it to
be less than $1,000. We understand that Mr.
! Stephens had an insurance Of sl,50O.-Co,uaciI

| The Waterloo Courier OF the 3ist ult SAYS
that party Of some Is or 20 Indians, consisting
of men, squaws and papooses, are encamped ON
the river bottom, some two or three miles below
town. Among the number is an old man, whose
age is varionsly stated BY ths Indians at from 90
to over 100 years. They excite considerable
curiosity, and many persons from town have
been down to see them. The Courier adds that
they are getting considerably civilized, for they
can drink whisky and play cards almost as we'll

] was on my way to my hotel at nine o'clock, and
while stopping moment to observe the numer-
ous steamers in port, detonati0n, SURPRISING
either that of thunder or cannon, startled me,
| and q cloud of smoke arose from among the
steamers that were riding ut anchor. awaiting the
embarkation Of the 81 corps da,mes. As soon
as the smoke had dispers. d, . raging fire was
seen streaming from the deck Of the magnificent
and chartered to the Spanish government for the
war. The air was filed with cries and shouts Of
those on board.
/ The steamer had just arrived and had not en-
tirely mOOred, her main anchor only being out.
In the space Of minute, hundreds Of row boats
were alongside to receive the passengers, and
take in those who had jumped overheard. -
Shortly they arrived on shore, but many awfnlly
iniured-sO serious that in q few DAYS after they
died in the hospital Some landed without shirts,
others without pants, having been forced to tear
them off on account Of the FIRE many Of the poor
creatures had no hair left on their heads In the
space of five or ten minutes not person remain
ed on board the burning vessel, and an order
was given to the thousands Of spectators present
as well - to the inhabitants Of the adjacent
houses, TO escape, for there was imminent
danger.
The detonation was caused by the explosion
of grenades placed in the stern, where there
were yet remaining many more, and aft Of them
were hundreds of loaded bombs and over twelve
tons of gunpowder Two Spanish steamers were
ordered to attach lines and tow her out If posi-
ble or at least free her from amongst the Others,
over thirty in number, besides many moro sail
ing vessels. After much truble the two steam
ers commenced towing her, but could only get
her out to the distance Of about fifty yards or
the length Of the main anchors chain. During
ell this time dreadful explosions Of more grcna-
dcs were taking place. The two steamers that
were propelling found all their efforts useless %
drag the anchor, and were obliged to abandon
her in the very middle ef the harbor.
The fire was raging intensely, and fast making
its way aft to the bombs and twelve tons of pow
