4 SARATOGA ''SELL. I've have some
wide awake men here, and they are DIS
posed to have fun. AS specimen, a sol
der had a horse that be proposed to sell
in a rattle. Quite willing to aid, the gen
tlemen here took shares in the horse till
all were sold. Among the number was a
Mr.. White of New York. 1t was pro
nosed to make Mr. White think he had
drawn the prize, though he did not come
within a rifle shot of it. Mr. White was
called ont of the dancing room and his
good fortune was told him. Ten dollars
worth of champagne was drunk at his ex-
pense. and he was congratulated on his
luck. The next day he found bill in his
box for SlS, for halter, blanket and at
tendance. which he paid with reluctance,
saving the old horse would eat himself up.
| In the meantime horse-one of the most
! forlorn animals ever seen-was hired al
a cost of four dollars to represent the horse
that was drawn. A rope halter, about thu
size of cable, and bit of ragged carpe
stood instead of the blanket and halter, fol
which SlS had been paid. A photograph
Of the ANNA. was taken and circulated
among the lucky man's friends, and wheI
he went to view the prize quite crowd 0
/ New York merchants went as an escort
The animal was led out. The consterna
ton, rage, indignation of the drawer, tn
roar and shouts from his friends, can't b
written. The bill was presented AM
paid. He tried to give the horse ava
and no one would take him and finally
by a generous donation to the hostler, til
animal was taken off his hands. Tha
night, Mr.. White left for Ne% York, 10
norant of the hoax played up0n him; re
solved that before he paid one dollar IN
rattle fer horse, he weuld see what sol
of an animal he is going to draw. Th
photograph has been sent to HarPer's.-

INDIAN CoUNCIL.-The thirteen chiefs Of
the Leech Lake, Gull Lake, Mile Lac
Rabbit Lake, Sandy Lake, and Poke
CANA Lake Bands of the Chippewa In
dams, held a council yesterday with Su-
perintendent Thompson, at the American
House, relative to forming treaty with
the Government, and for their removal to
the lands set apart for them at Leech Lake.
These chiefs have been in council with
Mr.. Foster, the Agent at Cow Wing, but
failed to come to any definite understand
ing, and consequently they came to hold a
council with Superintendent Thompson.
The council opened at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning. The chiefs of these several bands
addressed the Superintendent through Mr..
Beaulieu, their interpreter, and expressed
desire to renew their fellowship and good
feeling with the whites. They claimed that
they had been wronged by agents and by
the GOvernment-that the Government
had not fulfilled the stipulations of their
treaty-and now, because they (meaning
the six bands represented in the counciD
had always been friendly to the whites,
and had been law-abiding Indians, the
Government wanted to remove them to a
section of country where there was no sub
sistence at all, and allow them to starve to
death. All they asked was, to set apart
the reservation at Mile Lac and place them
there, and they would be content. They
claimed that these bands had nothing to do
with the late raid, and if the Government
found that any of their young men had
been guilty of misdemeanor, that they
should be punished according to civil law.
They wished to be governed by civil law,
and to adopt civil habits. They would not
consent to form treaty for the sale of
their reservation without counciling with
their Great Father at Washington, and ex-
pressed desire to 60 on. They wished
to disclose everything to him, and tell him
OF their wrongs, and would not consent to
form any treaty until they had.
The Superintendent told them he would
not consent to their going to Washington
without knowing what they were going
for--that their difficulties could be as well
arranged herea there he would tel
egraph to the Great Father on Monday,
and in the meantime he wished them to
study the matter well, and he would meet
them again on Monday, and talk the mat
ter over The Council was long, but the
above is the substance Of what was said on
both sides.-Ddily Pioneer, 9Th.
