SUE-DoGs. There was brilliant and
magnificent celestial phenomenon ysstsr-
day forenoon between 0 and 10 o'clock,
which excited the wonder and admiration
ofall bsholders, and the superstition Of
some. Two or three ring. around the
sun were seen, and at the intersection Of
the circles, brilliant stars or sun-dogs we're
visible. Il was an unusual and brilliant
phenomenon. Perhaps it had : close
correction with the cold weather and the
rain and thunder storm which followed q,
night. Was It also portsntous Of war
and the coming millennium?

OFFICE SUPERINTENDENT IND. AFFAIRS.
Olympia, W. T., June rs, 1862.
Information has been received at this Office of
the frequent and growing violation of the various
provisions of the Act of Congress regulating trade
and intercourse with the Indian tribes. The
dersigned is unwilling to believe that such viola
lions arise from wilfulncss OH the part Of the nu-
,ncrous traders now operating in sections of the
Territory hitherto and yet occupied by Indians,
and in some instances upon the very land reserved
to the Indians by Treaty stipulation. He rather
believes that of the recent great influx of popula
ton, very many arc ignorant that such laws are
in force.
Notice is therefore hereby given that SELLING,
DISPOSING OF, BARTERLNC or GIVING
LIQUOR Indians in this Territory or introducing
or attempting to introduce the same into the Indian
country, is grave offence, punishable by fneand
Imprisonment, by the laws of the United States;
that within any Indian Reservation the sale Of any
article Of traic, or merchandise, mithom first haring
obtained a license from the Indian Department, is
