A SAD OCCuRHES CE.-On
the 5th inst, son Of our Post
master, Mr.. Nichols, went across the
river to his Brothers, (who lives about a
mile from Adel,) on an errand, and when
be weLt to return, his brothers child, a
little boy about five years old, wanted to
come home with him, to see his grand
mother. His parents let him come.
The young man on his way stopped to
play ball with lot of boys near town,
placing the little fellow 20 one side
where he would not get hurt. After
play ing for some time be discovered that
the little child was gone. He started in
search of him but he could not be found.
He made it known about sunset in town,
when our citizens turned out and
searched all night, but no tidings OF the
little wanderer. The search was kept
up almost night and day until Saturday
last, the 10th inst, when the body Of
the little boy was found in Coon River,
near Adel. l: is supposed that the lit
tie boy undertook to cross on log and
fell IN. What an immense amount Of
trouble and sorrow little aarlessness
sometimes causes. Ii. Z. X.

The following are the main and i'm
portsnt provisions Of the bill initiating
u new system of county government
Although favorably disposed to change
Of some sort from the power under

the new measure is entirely too radical,
and in many instances will not be found
to meet the wants Of the counties:
The board is to conslst Of one Super
visor for each civil township, together
with an additional one for every town
ship where the population exceeds 1000,
making that number their rate OF IN
crease-,o hold their office two years,
one half being elected each year.
The are TO meet on the first Monday
in January and June, and the first Mon
day after each general election at the
county seat.
A majority of the board-of which
one shall be chosen Prcsident-eonsti-
tutes quorum, and all proceedings are
to tie conducted openly.
Special meetings may be held whcro
majority of the board petition the
District Clerk-who is the clerk OF the
board each supervisor to have SIX days
notice OF the meeting, and that business
10 be done only which was specihed IN
the call.
The board have power ''to make sucn
orders concerning the corporate proper
ty Of the county as they may deem ex-
pedlent," to examine, allow and settle
all accounts against the county, to build,

townships, to determine the location OF
county buildings within the site OF the
county seat, to require and accept add',
tional bond. from county officer, aud

ty officers, to authorize votes on re- loca'
tion Of county seats, to provide tor the

office, and to provide poor farms and
houses. They also constitute the board
Of canvassers.
Section eleven provides that no coun-
tv building shall be built exceeding

first submitting the proposition to the
people.
A full statement CT expenditures ane

An Indian Doctor.

The drum had been beaten two eve
nings in succession in a lodge about
half mile from mine, in which a young
couple lived. There was a sick and dy-
ing child there, which the doctors at
tended daily. One evening, passing
near the wigwam, | could not resist the
temptation to peep in, and SO lifted one
of the loose apakwas. had chosen the
right spot, for was opposite the doctor
and his little patient. The poor little
being lay in it's fathers arms, who looked
remarkably sorrowfu and grieved. Be-
fore him knelt the doctor, who crawled
first up and then back again. Hegazed
fixedly on the suffering child and kept
his eye fixed on it as on his prey. 1t
was much like a cat playing with a
mouse, except that in this case tie i'll
ness and not the child represented the
mouse to be captured. The Doctors
chief instrument was hollow, very
white, and carefully polished bone. This
bone, which was about twe-and a-half
inches long, and of the thickness Of a
little finger, the doctor repeatedly swal-
lowed, then brought it up again, blew on
the child through it, sucked up the skin
through the tube, and then elected the
illness he had drawn out into basin
with MANY strange and terrible convul-
sions. All this was accompanied by in
cessant drumming, rafting and singing
by an assistant OF the doctor, and manv
signs from the mother of the child.
But for all that the poor thing was hur-
rying rapidly to the grave. The next
morning, when / arrived at an early
hour, and walked into the lodge as a
sympathizing neighbor, the doctor was
no longer present. But the child still
lay IN its fathers lap, wrapped in thick
blanket. He held it most tenderly.
The mother seemed utterly exhausted
by the exertions Of the past night, and
lay OH the ground with her face con-
cealcd in skins. All we're perfectly
still, and took no more notice of me
than on the previous evening. The suf-
fcring patient was at the last gasp. On
the evening OF the same day l again
passed, but could not find tho lodge.
At length / convinced myself, at least,
that l had found the right spot. But
the hut itself had been utterly removed,
the Inhabitants had disappeared, the fire
extinguished, and all their property car
ried away. The little being was dead,
and already buried, and the mourning
parents, after the Ojibbcway fashion,
had broken up their lodge, and put out
their fire, and gone to live temporarily
with some relations. - Wanderings
