= Gov. Eyre had been suspended from

Storks temporarily appointed IN his
place. The draft of the commission for
the above appointment is published In
the London Gazette. It states that
great disaffection is alleged to have
prevailed IN Jamaica; that grevious
disturbances had occurred, and that
excessive and unlawful severity had
been used in their suppression, and.
whereas. it being urgent that full and
impartial inquiry should be made into
the origin, nature and circumstances
of the said disturbances and the meas
ures adopted for their suppression, the
powers now vested in Gov Eyre are
now revoked, on the ground that it may
be advisable that he should be present
during the inquiry, but, for the suffi-
cheney of such inquiry, the powers of
Governor should be vested in some
otherperson. Sir Henry Storks is accord

Farmers wives.

Farmers, cut this out and paste it OF
the pannels of your kitchen doors:
1t is perhaps safe TO say, that on three
farms out of four the wife works hard
er, endures more than any other on the
place; more than the husband, more
than the farmland, more than the hired
help of the kitchen. Many a farmer
speaks to his wife habitually in terms
more imperious, impatient, and pet
ulant than he would use to the scullion
of the kitchen or to his hired man.
Many farmers wife is literally work
ed to death in an inadvertent manner,
from want of reflection or consideration
on the part OF her husband. None can
understand better t::an he, in blowing,
or sowing, or harvest time, that If a
horse gets sick, or runs away, or is
stolen, another must be procured that
very day, or the work will inevitably go
behind hand. He does not carry the
same practical sense into the kitchen
when the hired help leaves without
warning or becomes disabled, although
he knows as well as any man can know
that the hands will expect their meals
with the same regularity, with the sam
promptness, and with the same prope
mode of preparation; but, instead
procuring other help on the Instant, b,
allows himself to be persuaded, if the
help is sick, she will get well in day
or two, or a week at farthest, and il is
hardly worth while to get another for
so short time. If the help has taken
French leave his mind fixes on the
fact that it is very busy time, and
neither he nor single hand can be
spared, or that, in the course of a weeks
some one will have to go to town for
some other purpose, and both these
matters can be attended to at the same
time. Meanwhile the wife is expected
not only TO attend TO her ordinary du-
ties as usual, but somehow or other To
spare time TO do all that the cook or
washerwoman was accustomed to, that
is, TO do the full work of two persons,
each one of whom had already quite
as muck labor to perform as she could
possibly attend to. The wife attempts
it. By herculean efforts all goes on
well. The farmer perceives no jar, no
hitch in the working of the machinery,
and because no complaint is uttered.
thinks that everything is going on with
ont an effort. Meanwhile time passes,
and infinite shame on some of them,
they begin, to calculate how much has
been saved from servants wages, and
how much less food has-been eaten, land
because. still no complaint has been
made. the resolution quietly forms in
the mind to do nothing until she does
complain; but before that takes place,
she falls victim to her over-exertions.

capped from the indians.

Lieut.. Thomas f. Sallee, of Company
G, 18th Missouri cavalry, communicates
to the Missouri Democrat the following
deeply interesting statement, from
Mound Station, Colorado Territory:
On the 9th of November, 1866, a
small boy, supposed to be about twelve
years of age, of rather dark complexion,
black hair and black eyes, came into a
rancho (pear Mound Station, of the
overland stage line running from Atchi-
son, Kansas, to Denver City, Colorado, J
about 1T6 miles east-of Denver. He
could speak very little plain English,
but by signs could easily be under

military at Mound Station,) on hearing
of his arrival, Immediately brought him
to my station. He is now here, and is
learning to talk very fast. He informs
me that the Sioux Indians have had him
captive for many years, bat he don't
know how many He don't know
anything about his parents, but sup
poses that they were killed by the IDdi-
ans at the time OF his capture. He
neither knows his. name or where he
was captured. He left the Indians on
the oath instant, eighty miles south of
this place, on the Republican river,
3, 600 in number. He luckily made his
escape on pony, but running his pony
to death the first night, he was then
compelled to take it u foot for three
days, arriving at the rancho ON the eve
ming of the 9th. All that he had to
eat after leaving the Indians until he
arrived at the rancho, was one crow
that he found dead, and q piece of q
dead OK. He says the Sioux Indians
have two white women and several negro
captives now. He is a good looking
and intelligent youth.
