Terrible Tragedy I'm the Indian
Territory

SIX CRkKks KILLED, ANoH0 THEN COL. BAR
NETT, PROMINENT CITIzBN-A WOMAN AT
THE BOTTOM OF THE DIFFICULTY.
The particulars Of a tragedy which recently
occurred in the Indian Territory, involving
the loss Of several lives, are given in the fol-
lowing Communication, dated the 21st instant
to Col. H. X. Clum, acting Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, by agent Roberts of the Creek
agency; 81 beg TO report the particulars of an
unfortunate and bloody affair which has Just
occurred in this nation, whereby six Indians
have lost their lives. Tim. Barnett, a promi-
nent and wealthy Creek citizen (whom You
doubtless know, he having been in Washington
on several Creek delegations,) had, it seems,
an Indian by the name of Josiah GRAY there
had been some intimacy, which resulted in
quarrel between him and Tim. Some time
afterwards Tim learned that Gray had threat
ened to kill him or was trying to kill him, and
taking with him few friends, he (Barnett)
lay in wait for Gray, and as he came to work
in his field shot him down and fed. few
nights afterwards, learning that Gray was not
dead but only dangerously wounded, Tim took
with him Tucka-cal- chez, Yo-ho-lo big Benz
Baptist preacher, and two or three others of
his friends, and returned to fnish him, which
he did, wOunding at the same time Jim GRAY,
brother of Josiah. and getting one of his own
men kilied-a brother or Big Ben. Barnett
Immediately went to his own house and sur
rounding himself by his friends refused to be
arrested.
The light horse Of the three districts gathered
with many OF the friends and connections of
JOSIAH and Jim Gray, numbering at least one
hundred, and after cOunseiing two or three
days, on the night of the 18th of July moved
over to Tins house, and about daylight charged
it. Some men who were outside the house fled,
and one Burner Jim Boy-a son of Col. Jim
Boy, who served the United States in the Flor
ida war Of lS7-was killed. Big Ben surren-
dered without offering resistance, and was i'm
mediately shot and Killed. Col. Barnett sur
rendered upon the promise that he would not be
killed, but would be allowed q fair trial. He
was tied, placed upon horse and started for
the judge of the district in charge of the light
horse. About three hundred yards from the
house he was shot and killed, no less than
thirty shots being fired into him from behind.
One of the light horse is said to have fired the
first shot. have learned OF no efforts being
made by the authorities to investi gate the muir
der or to arrest any Of the parties concerned in
it,"

Horse Raising and Religion.


Rev. W. II. II. MuRRAY has given an adj
dress before the New England Agricultur.
al Society, 10 which he finds new tribu.
tary to the religious growth and life Of the
country. He is very severe upon his crit
les, who have charged him with being cler.
ical jockey, who has logged the odor of the
stable into the utteranccs Of the pulpit, and
asserts in opposition TO their ideas Of the
eternal fitness of things that there is " no
more delightful and elevating branch Of
agriculture for a clergyman to engage in,
than the breeding and training Of fine
horses" lie grows eloquent upon the
horse, and declares that from the settle.
ment Of the country, the horse has been in.
timatoly and honorably associated with
our religious life" Without the assist.
anco Of this noble animal, our religious con-
gregations could never have been assem-.
bled,' nor our churches sustained. And SO,
in the exuberance Of his affection for the
cause Of religious knowledge and progress
he renewedly declares his Glove for the
spirited denizens Of the stable"
We have known that Mr.. NJ had an ar.
dent admiration for a good horse, and an
ambition to have a model stock farm bot
bis innocence and sensbility are new
revelation 1t is well for clergyman to
like a good horse but il is ridiculous for
him to give a professional and theological
reason for it, 1t is not necessary that he
should rcpudiate interest in the noble
animal but it is simply absurd for him to
go into the breeding and training Of fast
horses on purely religious grounds lie
may make jockey Of himself to his hearts
content delight himself in the glossy coats
of his Doigbing stations, and 10 the gentle
wbinnies Of his brooding mares he may
disport himself on the track with gig and
whip and nag,-but to try to make people
think that he does it in the interest u
piety, or that the church is highly benefited
by his stock horses and fast driving, is more
ridiculous than his actions. 81. Paul be-
came fool in glorying," but then he had
something to glory in--his trials, and con
flicts, and perils, and magnificent aposioli,
successes; but this modern apostle is alsc
fool in glorying,' but with difference
because be glories in studs aud fillies ant
mares and race courses, and imagincs tina
without the assistance of the horse it woul,
be impossible to keep religion on the earth
His love for the horse, his training an,
racing propensities, might have been passe,
over in silence; but when he comes to pro
claim his reasons for horse breeding an,
training, be invites public attention to hi
folly and absurdiiy. lie had better hav
stuck to his horses, and let his friends fur
uish reasons why one of the most prominen
clergymen in the country should devote hi
" sancli6cd intellect to the breeding q
racing stceds.

The Toledo Blade in noticing the fact
that boiler explosions generally happen in

says that there is cause for such explo-

thing to do with il, aud the investigations
conducted for determining the causes Of
boiler explosions should not lose sight Of
this fact. Every engineer. on our railroads
understands that steam can be generated
much more readily on some days than on
others Train dIspatchers observe that on
some days all the trains on the road fail to

peculiar condition Of the atmosphere
Then, if the atmosphere operates to favor
or to prevent, the generation Of steam, as
the case may be, why may it not also, in
its effects upon the boiler, tend to produce

AS the investigation into the Canadian
Credit Mobiier scandal progresses, it be-
comes every day more evident that the OPP
ponents of the government have made a
great mistake in assuming merely mega
tive position in regard to the Commission.
Sir John Macdonald is too wary a poiti.
clan not to make the best use Of this mis-
take, and it appears that evidence is being
dragged forward which, if it does not i'm
prove the position of the Ministry, will have
damaging effect upon the prestige of the
opposition. 1t is admitted that letters were
stolen from the Post Office Department at
their litigation, and by their agents. Mr.
Mackenzie has not come forward to tell
this, neither has Mr. Blake but some Of
their friends have, and these have gone yet
further, and confessed that it has always
been the custom of the party to keep close
watch upon the telegraph, and that even
private kilograms have been detained OF
copied, and stored away to abide the time
when they would be required as evidence
against the Ministry. Letters alleged to
have been written by Sir John Macdonald
to certain influential persons, are sworn by
those persons never to have been received
by them. The Canadians are very fond OF
telling us that for any little naughtiness
which may be found among them, they are
indebted to the people south of the lakes
but they ought at least to credit themselves
with the very happy faculty of improving
upon our teachings.
