THE INDIAN Policy

The policy pursued towards the Indians
has resulted favorabiv, so far as can be
judged from the limited time during which
it has been in operation. Through the ex-
ertions of the various societies of Christians.
To whom 1t has been entrusted the execution
OF the policy, and the board OF commission
ers authorized by the law of April 10th,
1869, many tribes of Indians have been in
dueed to settle upon reservation, to cult
waite the soil, and perform productive labor
OF various kinds, and to partially accept
civilization. They are being cared for in
such way, it is hoped, as to induce those
still pursuing their old habits of life to en-
brace the only opportunity which is left
them to avoid determination. recommend
liberal appropriations to carry out the In
dian peace policy, net only because it Is
human, Christian-lise and economical. but
because it Is perfectly right. recommend
to your favorable consideration, also, the
policy of granting a territorial government
to the Indians, in the Indian Territory
west of Arkansas and Missouri, and south
Of Kansas. In doing so, every right must
be guaranteed to the Indians by a treaty.
The above is all the message we have re-
celved up TO the hour of going to press.

GOLD AND CURRENCY.

Continued huctuation in the valuc of
gold, compared with the national currency,
has most damaging effect upon the increase
and Development of the country, in keep
ing up prices of all the articles necessary
in every day life; it fosters a spirit Of
gambling preiudieial alike to national NOR
ais and to national finances. If tho cues
ton can be met as to how to get a fixed
value to our currency, that value constantly
and uniformly approaching par with specie,

LAWRENCE, Feb. 23, 1871.
Mr. EDITOR The dwelling house Of John
Denton, in this village, was totally destroyed
by fire yesterday morning. Much of the furni-
ture and household goods were saved. The
fire originated in the chamber, quite probably
from some imperfection in the stove-ppe or
chimney Mr.. ID. rose early, built fire and
went back to bed-as ] am informed-and
shortly thereafter the fire broke out. Insured
for $500.
An individual calling himself Marcus Bud
long, on Tuesday last broke into the house OF
James v. Drake, Who lives on the town line
between Bangor and Arllngton-the family
being sbsent-and stole therefrom coat,
shirt and pair OF pants. Mr.. Drake returned
soon after, meeting Budlong in the rosd, but the
thief had his own clothes on over those he hsd
stolen Mr.. ID. did not become aware Of his loss
till he went into the house. OF course pursuit
was instant and the fellow was soon overhaul
Cd. He vas taken before Justice Sturtevant,
and owned up-not only to this transaction but
to having been in State Prison three years on o
similar charge. He was provided with tenn
porary home in the Cross-bar Hotel at Paw
Paw, till such time a. the Circuit Court can ct
tend to his case.

the establishment Of Cheese Factory here is

This celebrated trotting stallion will make
the season of 1871 at the pyckman House
Stables, in Paw Paw, commencing March 18th,
and ending July 1st, ut the low price of forty
dollars for the season, the money to be paid or
note given at the time OF service. All mares
served by this horse and not proving with foal
can have the service OF the horse the following
season free Of chsIge. Night Hawk Is golden
sorrel, sixteen hands high, weighs 1850 pounds
and for shape, style and temper, is not ex-
celled by any horse III the state. His trotting
qualities need no comment, as the record of
the Lansing Society shows that ne trotted there
on half mile track in 2:31 and again in Au-
gust, 1868, on the same track, he trotted five
mile race against Dallas Of Detroit, winning
the race easily in IA minutes; and in Trial
ten days before the race, trotted his five miles
in 1926. His owner will match him against
any square trotting stallion now owned in the
State for $1,000, single dash Of five miles, or
forfeit his seasop.
The horses pedigree can be seen ct any time
by calling on the owner at the Dyckman House
after the 10Th OF March. There is not q drop
OF blood running In Night Hawks veins but
what originates from thorough bred stock
Farmers DESTROYS of breeding high-priced
stock will do well to call and examine this
famous horse. S31t13

DETROIT MARKET.

DETROIT, February 20, 1871.
A week OF comparative inactivity except in
the grocery and drug trades has to be set down
and by some as the dullest OF the month just
past. But little produce has come to market
and there seems an evident desire or design of
dealers and others to wait week or two for
the opening OF navigation, since il is now 80
palpably near, unless winter assert his sway
There is indeed little activity apparent any
where. Flour and wheat have been and are
still quite dull. City mIllers have received
some orders from New England cities for small
lots OF choice brands, but the demand here is
for lower grades and only light st that. Buyers
and sellers have however come into little
nearer communication, with each other, and
