Fearing Spect0cles.

With most persons there is an epochin
life when the eyes become slightly tlastcned.
1t arises probably from . diminishing &C.

Very aged men may be noticed rcaling

resisted the use of glasses ut the age of life

Therefore, begin with q firm resolution
never to use glasses of any kind for reading

about such contrivances, If they had, they
would have been poor eyes in abundance,

lfTOn the 1onktON U1kOtWn.
Your readers arc more or less familiar with
the name Of Two Bear, the greatest Indian
chief in this portion of the country, of tho
Yankton band of the Dakotas. His party
met with great disaster short time since.
They were out on hunt and were campcd
ut the head of Knife river. All day preceding
the night on which tho misfortune ca" up.
on them, they say the mir was fullof smoke,
but being calm day, could not tell the d.
rcction from which it came. About mid
night brisk breeze sprang up, and, before
they could get out of their tcpecs, the fro
was down upon them. 1t is scarcely possible
TO describe the scene of confusion that fol.
lowed, or the suffering endured.
The fire consumed sixty tepecs, and burn
ed over sixty of the Indians, besides many
of tho ponies. Nine Indians have died, and
there is band of forty tcpces out on tho
prairie that have not been heard from since
tho fire. Most of the badly burned. also tho
ponies, were left with this band. Their
provisions and blankets, in many cases. were
entirely consumed, and their sufferings in
consequence arc great.
Two Bear says the fire was worse than his
fight with Gen. Sully out at the White Hill.
If tho suffering was confined to the warriors
alone it would not be So bad. but it extends
to women and children. saw one baby with
its left hand nearly burned off to the second
joints, and the stubs or fingers were drawn
back. The little thing could not have been
more than eight months old; his face and
head were also badly burned. It was crying
bitterly, themothcr mourning most pitifully.
The sight was truly distressing. ,.r....adT
