A WARM SUNDAY lNClDENT.-Thc fol-
lowing amusing incident is related in the
Cortland Gazette:
GA very amusing affair occurred last
Sabbath morning in u church not far from
this village. The clergyman was discours-
ing as eloquently as the state Of the wca-
Their would permit, yet one Of his auditors,
young lady, was so overcome by the heat
as to fall asleep in the midst of the dis
course. Those behind her were somewhat
amused, observing her efforts to keep her
head in a perpendicular position. The
superintendent Of the school happening to
look around just as the lady's head was
going over backwards, supposed she had
tainted, and springng to his feet, called out
to the minister to stop and send down from
the desk tumbler Of water; which re-
quest was Immediately complied with, and
copious supply OF water was admins
tered to the somnolent young lady before
she had time to fairly recover herself. A
number of sympathsing ones gathered
about her, but she soon retired from the
audience-room with face too crimson to
comport with fainting fit. When she
sleeps in church again, it will probably be
with one eye OPEN"

miles of land as reservation, the Government
to protect them from all other tribes, and to
keep every one, both white and red, from
trespas-ing upon their reservation: They also
require the Government to furnish them with
