that two or three hundred Indians, at 81, 00O
apiece, could be employed to exterminate the
Modocs, and it is thought that, in the end, it
would prove the cheapest way of getting rid
Of them. The expedition sent out to recover
the bodies of Lieut.. Cranston and the eight
mel who fell with him found them in such an
advanced state of decomposition that it was

had piled sage-brush over the bodies and
burnt them almost beyond recognition. -.

The troubles at st. Martinsville, La, at one
time SO threatening, have happily terminated
without serious results. The appearance Of
200 United States troops at the scene Of the
