We have nothing further from the re-
ported Indian troubles in the Northern
part of this State. II is believed that the
first reports were greatly exaggerated.
The following letter is all that can be re-
liable
Esthenville, Iowa, August 26.
To G. B. RIcHARps, Fort Dodge:
write to inform you concerning mat,
ters up this way. The whole settlement
up at Jackson have just arrived here
frightened off by the Indians. The facts
as near as can gather them are these
A boy came in from the settlement Of
Jackson wounded in the arm by bullet,
quite badly. He stated that the Indians
attacked his fathers house and commenced
killing their hogs. He was frightened
aud ran pursued by an Indian who fired
on him and wounded him is stated above.
He succeeded in Gliding his pursuers, ar
rived at jackson and is now here. He
heard firing after he left and thinks his
parents are murdered, ard the Jackson
folks think the whole Norwegian settle
ment above Belmont, numbering nearly
Fifty persons, are murdered. / hope it
will not prove as bad as that. That there
is bad work up there have no doubt.
Could you not raise company to come to
our aid have been here five years, but
this is the first really alarming report |
have heard from the Indians. The peo-
pile up this way have cried wolf so often,
] sm afraid now that wolf has really come
and that the people your way will be slow
in coming to our aid.

The BRIGADE REVIEW The Brigade Review
of the three reg lments at Brattleboro, took place
ON Tuesday, and was probably the grand,st
mill AIRY review that tver took place in Vermont.
The evolutions were performed in highly cred.
liable manner, now in long line of battle, and
now in solid square, the new muskes and bay
onets gttered in the sun, and bristled with
that earnestness SO fearful, SO grand and awful
in the terrible hour OF battle. The brigade was
under the command of Acting Gen. Stoughion,
who marshalled the men with complete success,
and much credit to himself The Governor and
staff passed in review up and down the line,
and among them W. noticed Gen. Phelps. The
attendance On the ground was very large. There
must have been ut least 10 900 people besides
the soldiers. Most that we conyersed with on
the matter, estimated 1t as high as 20 ,0o0.-B.
