. INDIAN HosTILiTIES.--Ihe rumor5 of In
dian hJstiiities are growing and thickeninc.--
The news of the massacre of eighty-seyen
men by the sayages near Fort Phil. hearuey.
in Dakota, is confirmed. There seems to be
general conspiracy among the tribes to re-
siSt the progress OF tie two Pacific Railway
lines through Nebraska and Kansas. The Bit
terhostiity oil the Indians to the construction
OF these great avenues of ciyilization in the
wild regions which they have been aceustom-
ed to consider their own, will doubtless ac-
count in considerable degree for the outrac-
es which seem TO be the precursors of gen.
eral Indian war. In view of the present
aspect OF affairs Gen. Shermans proposition
Ill bis recent report deserves very serious at
tention. He proposes, with the consent of his
superiors, to restrict the wandering Sioux
uorth of the Platte, west OF the Missouri, and
east OF the road from Laramie to Virginia
city. In like manner the hostile tribes OF the
South should be prevented from coming north
OF the Arkansas or west of Fort Union. This
would leave us the exclusive use OF the great
belt in which the two railroads lie, and
through which passes most OF the travel over
land to the Pacific Coast and to the mining
regions. This measure will probably be
adopted. II the Indians are to be governed
by force, it is proper aud on many accounts
desirable, that the care OF them should be
transferred, as Gen. Grant recommends, from
the Department OF the Interior to the War
Office

subject of ship canal around Niagara Falls

the convention, delegates from the cities of
Chicago and Oswego paid visit to Toronto,
where conference was held on the subject of

This project was first started in 1856, and a
survey made which demonstrated the feasibili-
ty of the undertaking, by which q short cut of
about one hundred miles could be made
across the Canadian peninsula, obviating
the necessity of the circuitous route by
way of Lake Erie.
The Huron and Ontario Canal Company was

LIABILITY OF CITY OFFIcERs.-A GU
rious case has recently been decided in
Court at Dubuque, Iowa, which, if gen.
orally applicable, is not calculated to
inyest with new charms and profit the
holding of city offices. A Mrs. Porter
had obtained judgment and execution
against the city of Dubuque for nine
thousand dollars, and the execution
was returned "not satisfied" there be-
ing no .moneyto meet the claim. She
petitioned the Mayor and Council for
the levy of special tax, as the law in
such case provided, but they found that
by law their legal power to levy had
already been exhausted, the charter
fixing the maximum of taxation, and
they already having levied to the full
amount for other purposes. She, there
fore, brought suit against the Mayor
and Councilmen personally, and has re-
covered Judgment against them for
the full amount. The letter of the law,
which requires them to levy to satisfy
any legal claims, holds them personally
responsible. - 2i0ErFf%s7i

observation-disclosures time ago a Young
gentleman from the country, who had
been sojourning in the city, became con-
siderably smitten with young lady he
met out at sociable tea-party, and at
forwards prevailed on another young
gentleman belongingto the city to make
several calls on the young lady referred
to. These calls had the tendency to
cause him to become overwhelmingly
enraptured, so much so, that he became
incapable of determining whether the
young lady was in the least captivated
with him. His friend had assured him
that the young lady was "heart whole
and fancy Free" and that he need fear
no obstacle. He thought he was get
ting along finely, and so onn even
ing he resolved "to go it alone" Hav-
ing dressed fastidiously, he started for
the residence eff his belo red, his heart
palpitating in an indescribably queer
way. Reaching the residence, he gave
the door-bell sort of hesitating ring,
which was answered by the waiting
maid of the young lady, who in answer
to his inquiry whether Miss -- was
in, replied: "She is engaged, sir"
"Engagedv echoed the young gen.
tleman. "When the deuce did the en-
gagement take placer ........ o..
''I don't know sir" replied the wait
ing maid; abut Miss - told me to tell
you that she Is engaged" Y
For some reason she had neglected to
say that Miss - was engaged for the
evening, and begged to be excused. In
consequence of this the young gentle
man alluded to has been suffering ex-
crutiating torment for over week--he
supposing the engaged" referred to
was an engagement to be married. We
can assure him. that no such engage
ment exists, aud that the next time he
may see proper to call the door will be
open to receive him.
