SHOCKING INSTANCE OF INDIAN SUPERsTI.
TIoN,-Ihe British Colonist, published in
British Columbia, relates that a Hydah Indian
boy, who lad been employed as a scullion for
several months at hotel, was recently miss
ed but after while was discovered in close
contneE ent in lodge of the Stickeen Indians.
He was bound hand and foot, and was reduced
to mere skeleton from want of food and wa
ter The boys version of the affair is that he
was clandestney seized by several Stickeen
Indians and taken to the lodge in which lie
was discovered by the police, where he was
shown a sick Hydah. and told that until that
man recovered he would be kept in close con.
tnement without food if the man died, he
would be killed if he lived, he would be set
at liberty. The captive was then bound with
ropes and gagged, so as TO prevent him from
calling for assistance, and placed in corner
of the room, where he remained without food
or water for nine days During this time the
Indians occasionally tantalized him by remov-
ing the gag, placing food to his lips and jerk
ing it away, and by offering him salt water TO
drink. Ii he sought to. sleep, he was tortured
till he awoke. The excuse given for this bar
barous treatment was that the boy had be-
witched one of their tribe by burying guam
tity Of herbs near his house, that the Indian
was taken sick, and the only means through
which he could ultimately recover was by
treating the boy as they had done they also
add that he sometime ago bewitcIed child
that afterward died, and that the whole tribe
stood in dread OF the spells he was enabled to
throw around them by his incantations. 1t
was their intention to have burned him on the
tenth day, and use his ashes in the prepare.

man, and the pyre was nearly ready for his
reception when the police fortunately discov-
cred his locality

The STORY OF NEGRO PLOT UNTRUE
The story about john Brown, Jr., and his four
hundred drilled negroes, is utter CANNON.
Mr.. Caldwell of Ashtabula saw him at his
own house on Wednesday last, quietly pursu-
ing his business State Auditor TAYLOR was
at Youngstown last Friday, 25th inst, where
information of this startling character would
have been known, had there been any basis tor
it. The locality where this black plot is said
to be Matched is thickly populated, and if true,
tie whole country would have known it.
Other reliable parties denounce the statement
as a wretched fabrication. Cincinnati Com
