The Usage Indians have hard
time of it in their efforts to live in
peace and quietness. The tribe had
a reservation in Kansas guaranteed
them in perpetuity by the Govern
ment; but it was overrun by squatters
who settled on it in defiance of treaty
stipulations that the Indians should
be protected in their rights. Finding
that they were to be crowded off their
own lands, the Indians, who had
many farms under cultivation, for the
sake of peace consented to move to a
reservation in the Indian Territory.
But they were hardly settled in their
new home before large number OF
the same squatters who had intruded
on their lands in Kansas sold out the
property they had acquired by tres
pass, and followed their former VIC
tins into the Indian Territory, where
they have endeavored to repeat theil
intrusions. In this attempt they are
likely to fail, as che Government has
issued peremptory order for the inn
mediate removal of the trespassers
aud put its execution in the hands OF
the military commander of the district
in which the reservation is situated
When it is considered that the Usage
were driven out of one reservation by
the same men whoar now seeking to
crowd them out of another, and they
are not only in the occupancy of theil
present possessions by virtue of al
act of Congress, but own their lands
by right of purchase, it will be seen
that there is not the least apology tc
be offered for the squatters who arr
trying to rob them. Their title to thei
lands is complete, and they ahoult
nave the same protection in thei
rights that is Afforded to the white
who own farms in tho States OF. Terri

Guard Your Health and Life.

How inconsistent Is human nature. Men
carry revolvers to protect themselves
against ruffians in well-polished cities,
where the precaution Is unnecessary, often
neglect TO fortify their systems against dis
ease in the most unhealthy seasons. Thou
sands OF dyspeptics and other invalids are
now languishing in sick rooms, or feebly
and listlessly moving through our streets,
who owe their forlorn condition solely To a
want of common prudence. Far more in
imical than the roughs and rowdies,
against whose passable attacks the
the timid arm themselves, are the morbid
elements that pervade the atmosphere at
this time of the year, and yet although II is
an updenied and undeniable fact that Hos-
letters Stomach Bitters afford more per-
feet protection against these causes OF dis
ease, than any weapon Of otfense can afford
against lawleSs violence, the reckless and
incOnsiderate continue to brave the danger
with positive safeguard within their reach.
Every day, however, the number of these
martyrs to their own want OF forecast, d.
minishes. Each succeeding season demon
OF the Bitters, both as an antidote for the
causes OF disease, and specific for It's con-
sequences. The miasma which generates
periodic disorders, rheumatism, liver COM
plant, irregularlty ofthe bowels and other
physical disturbances, produces no effect
whatever upon systems toned, strengthen
ed and regulated by this powerful vegeta-
BILE medicine, dyspepsia, nervous debility,
constipation, intermittent and remittent
fevers, biliousness, and in fact nearly all
the maladies which the bitters, If taken IN
time, UOutd prevent, are cured by the perse-
yering use OF the great remedy.
The genuine Bitters sold in bottles only,
and never by the barrel, key or gallon, as is
represented by some unyrinciple dealers.

used at the same time.
5. A small refreshment, commonly
called collation., is allowed in the even,
ing no general rule as to the quantity
of food permitted at this time is or can
he made. But the practice of the most
regular Christians is, never to let il
exceed the fourth part OF an ordinary
meal.
6. The quality of food allowed at a
collation. is, in this diocese, bread, but,
ter, eggs, cheese, milk, all kinds oil
fruits, salads, vegetables and fish.
I. General usage has made it lawful
to take in the morning some warm
liquor; as tea, coffee, or thin chocolate,

s. Necessity and custom have au-
thorized the use of lard instead oil
butter in preparing, fish, vegetables, &c.
9. The following persons are exempt,

sation. Those dispensed from the fast
for other causes, as well as those who

A BEAUTIFUL DEMONSTRATING in

A BEAUTIFUL Misunderstanding in
at the marble works Of j. s. Muldoon,
on Market sire ct, next to Culbertson &
Fishers foundry, yesterday, We were
shown a most beautiful monument, in
tended to perpetuate the memory of
John Keim, Esq, who was killed by
being caught under a falling wall at the
fire in Berry's store, on Water street,
last fall. The design is original and
unique, and the workmanship beauti-
full. The monument is Of marble and
represents an oak tree that has been
suddenly and violently broken in two
by a whirlwipd, the torn and jagged
top Of the shaft depicting with great
fidelity to nature the strength
and violence OF the blow that deprived
the tree of its outrageous top. The
torn bark, the riven wood, IRE all given
with wonderful exactness. The tree
stands in a bed of moss, from which
peep out the ragged points of rocks,
The heighth OF the marble shaft is
about six feet and half. This will
rest on granite pedestal, of fourteen
inches in thickness, making the monu
ment when in position about eight feet
high. ifs very beautiful in design and
must add to Mr.. Muldoon's already
high reputation as an artistic worker
in marble.

FRlENDsHIP.-What a glorious YET
mysterious thing is friendship, that
sympathetic cord that binds two hearts
as one-not as exacting love binds them,
but in still more remarkable manner.
What a grand thought it is that when
the days Of adversely come, when all
the butterflies who futtered around the
flowers that sprang up in the paths OF
your prosperity, are gone; when the
sunlight seems to have gone out Of your
life forever, what grand thought it is
that you have friend you can trust,
and who is willing, if he keep grocery
or meat shop, to trust YOU. It's mighty
consoling to the busted citizen.

4 TERRIBLE MYsTERY.-On Monday
last woman and boy left very large
trunk at Odberts grocery, on John
street near Sixth, and as no one has
called for it the most intense anxiety
has been manifested in regard to it.
Why should a women and boy leave
a large trunk, and then not call for it ?
Our neighbor Of the Mtelhgencer has
sounded the bngle note OF warning.
Yesterdays edition contained this mys-
terious statement in regard to the trunk
"The trunk is evidently filled with
something, as it is quite heavy. The
authorities should adopt measures 10
ascertain its contents, as clue to some
horrid crime might be revealed. This
thing OF leaving trunks and boxes con-
tanning remains of human beings put
out of the way by violence, has become
too common an occurrence. We do
not I'm iertake to affirm that this is a
case Of the kind, but what that trunk
does contain should be known before
the sun sets this evening"
OF course all trunks which are left
by woman and boy and not called for
must of necessity be filled with the
mortal remains Of some poor sinner who
has been chopped into the veriest mince
meat. Wherefore else should woman
and boy leave trunk that they did
not call for. Acting under the warning
OF our cotemporary's bugle horn, the
Justice of Union township had the
trunk taken to his Office preparatory to
going through it. He will probably
find some female apparel and a suit or
two of boys clothing. II be discovers
a cold corpus we shall have sensation.
A trunk mystery-and the trunk left
by a woman and a boy, would be the
incest thing in the business these dull
times

MARTINS FERRY, OHIo.-The news
yesterday morning from New York, in
regard to the contract made for building
the Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad,
had wonderful effect in Frightening
up the countenances Of the people.
They feel like saying of Messrs. Wood,
Bell and Chapman, well done, good
and faithful servants"
1t is reported that Bridgeport is about
to make application to be taken into
the corporate limits Of Martins Ferry ;
but we presume it should be received
with large degree Of allowance. 1t
probably grew out of the fact that
Bridgeport talked Of extending her cor.
porate limits some distance further up
the river
Smallpox is in state quo; no new
cases have been reported. tits to be
hoped that there will be no extension
OF this terrible disease.

The MAsoUKRApE.-The masquerade

1, The MAsQUERADE.-The masquerade
of the Mennerchor Singing Society
which came off at Washington Hall.
last evening, offered jolly and social
time to all who were present. The
company was composed of a motley
crowd OF ladies and gentlemen in fancy
dress costumes, and all manner OF
DISCUSSES and characters were seen on
the floor. Every one seemed bent on
fun, and everything passed off most
agreeably. There were Turks and
Nubians, Milesians, Germans and
Yankees, peddlers OF oranges and pea
nuts, animated bottles of titters and
whisky, soldiers, monkeys. and iu fact
everything conceivable. Some of the
most noticeable of the comic characters
wore the Fat Boys, Fairy, Independence,
four Zouaves and officer, an immense
boot, an old man in basket riding on
an old woman, and an old woman IN
spectacles. The old lady and the Fat
Boy were gems. The sentimental char
acters were numerous and excellent.
Two lady maskers,7 dressed exactly
alike, and who preserved their incognitO
most scrupulously, created quite SEN
sation. Many of the gentlemen were
certain they knew the fair maskers. but
they never could tell which one they
were talking to- Dressed exactly alike,
it made it lively for the boys, who would
commence a conversation with one and
finish it with the other, without being
aware OF the change.
The tableaux, representing Wheel
ings past, present and future, were most
excellent. The first represented party
of Indians engaged in levyiug revenue
tax on hair by scalping several captives,
The second represented lot OF galoots
leaning on the street corner lamp posts;
party gambling and the policemen
unable to see it. Tie future of Wheel
ing is an era of railroads, prosperity and
plenty.
The menagerie, circus and minstrel
performances were full of fun and gave
general satisfaction.
The supper was furnished by ziegen,
fielder, in his new and spacious supper
rooms, and was prepared in his best
style. A better one has not been spread
before a dancing party this winter. The
tables fairly groaned under the alum
dant supply of all the dellcacies our
market affords. Mr.. Ziegenfelder is an
accomplished caterer, as last nights
spread fully testified.
Taken altogether last nights ball was
a great success, and the Mpnnerchor
has shown that it knows how to wind
up the festival season with great eclat.
