A Miss Priest, of Wells River, Vermont,
was accused 10 the Lyndon Union Of having
eloped with an affinity. In letter to the
editor she vigorously denies the soft i'm
peachment, and thus cbaracterizes her de-
famers:, "The people of Wells River are iu

calamity that property has advanced from
ten to fifty per cent. since the fire. Some
business men who lost fine brown stone from I

ground. And not only this, but the new
buildings everywhere erected are more ele-
CANT and substantial than the old, aud new

TIE ONONDAGA AND CAYUGA INDIANS
There are about three hundred Onondaga
and Cayuga Indians residing With the SEN
ecas on the Cattaraugus and Allegheny
Reservations. The question Of their remov.
oil from the Reservations by the Senecas has
been agitated for many years. The Seneca
Council not long since passed resolution
for their removal. The Cayugas claimed q
right to the occupancy of these Reservations
with the Senecas, under treaty stipulations.
They also claim that having intermarried
with the Senecas for great many years
their indistinctive character as separate tribes
had nearly faded out except in name, and
having no other lands, that it would be
cruel to forcitly remove them from, their
houses and kindred on these Reservations
II should be understood that the tribal rela-
tions follow the mother and not the father.
So that Seneca woman marrying an Onon.
daga man, their children taking the tribal
relations OF the mother, would be Senecas.
We learn that the question as to the rights
OF the Cayugas and .Onondagas 10 reside
with the Senecas on these reservations, W ss
some months since referred to the Hou. Sec
retary OF the Interior for the decision, and
that the Secretary has decided "the Onou-
dagas and Cayugas have by their long uu-
disturbed residence among the Senecas.
which residence is referred to In the treaty
OF lSSS-aLd by their intermarriage with
the Senecas, acqdirol rights of occupancy in
which they should be maintaiued;" and be
directs the U S. Agent for the N. Y. Iu<
dians TO see that such rights are protected.

of these that the rolling stones are found
They are from the size of pea to five or
