CHILDREN REscUEp,-It will be re-
membered that several months ago the
Kiowas, at that time hostile tribe Of In
dams in Texas, took captive a whole
family in Cook county, consisting Of seven
persons, namely: futher, mother, uncle and
four children. The father, mother and uncle
were subsequently, mnssacreed, one baby
was frozen TO death, and another killed
on account of the trouble il made. There
remained two little girls, whose ages are
four and six years, about whom there has
been the greatest anxiety throughout the
country. Col. Leavenworth, government
agent for the Kiowas, recently restored
the two children, and he is now in Wash
ington with them. They are alone in the
world, having no longer kith or kindred,
and Col. Leavenworth urges upon Con-
gress the justice of setting aside $1,000
out of the Kiowas' annuity in order to
provide for the orphans and educate them.
The Indian committees in both Houses
are said TO be in favor of this course.

and mysterious disappearanoes we have
lately heard Of Some over four weeks
ago Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. A. Whitney, Of
this place, reached Troy on their way
home from visit TO New York. While
waiting at the depot, Mr.. W, said to his
wife that he was going out for a few min.
utes, but would soon return since which
time nothing has been seen or heard Of
him by his family or friends, although
they have been untiring in their efforts to
unravel tho web Of mystery. and gain
some knowledge Of his whereabouts Not
even so much as single clue has been
gained concerning him since he left Mrs.
Whitney in the depot. carrying with him
the checks to their baggage, &c. When
it is remembered that he went out from
Union Depot in broad day light, il is es-
pecially singular that no one can be found
who can throw the least light upon the
mysterious affair.-BeRRiagto Bonner.
