U 1t is no longer doubted that winter
is broken up for the Indians are flying,
toward the north. A flock of them passed
through town on Tuesday evening last,
accompanied with the asual number of
ponies and yellow dogs. They all
appeared very civil and conversed only
in their native language.
They were very sociable with all whom
they found manifesting an interest in their
welfare. One very intelligent lady, Mrs.
Lot-hepoo-rin-dians, was entirely overcome
with gatitude to Esquire Carkeek, for kind
ly volunteering to hold her mettlesome
pony while she stepped into the butcher
shop to inquire the price of jerk!
