SEVERE STORM IN DAKOTA.

has visited this section fer years, and
tho worst I remember, has prevailed
here tor 48 hours. Mon and horses

most of the command. About 300
horses arc sheltered in the quartermas-

INDIAN AFFAIRS.

The reports from the Modoc country
are rather vague and unsatisfactory.
For several days last week Col. G,llem's
and Ool Masoo's forces Kept up Wig.
orous shel;iug, advancing their forces
under protection Of tho ,nortars, with the
purpose Of surrounding the Indians.
The results are not, as yet, fully appar'
emit. Some Of the Modocs were killed
and 20 were some OF tho troops. Some
of tho baud escaped, while some, doubt
less = majority, are still 10 the lava
beds.
Advioes from Arizona state that
the war there ended on the 9Th by the
surrender Of two Of tho worst bands Of
the Apaohes. They did not think OF
submission until ov~ two hundred
warriors had been killed. a feast was
given them, when they promised to Oh.
serve eternal peace. 1t will be inter.
esting to observe about how long these
promises will be kept.
In the Indian Territory a pow WOW
was held on the 10th of March-re-
port just published-between the Kio.
va and Camanche tribes and the Chief
Clerk OF the K ,nsas Central Superin-
tendency, a Quaker named Bsede. The
latter delivered q bsraugue, interlardec
plsntifully with bosh about "their
great fathers heart again becoming
softaued," acd similar twaddle that falls
go readily from philauthropio lips. The
Indians manifested their appreciation
Of oil this tenderness BY demaodlog
that two of their chiefs who were held
for murders committed, should be re-.
leased. The government weakly com.
piled with tho dem md, and tho muir.
dersrs were set at liberty. That the
Indians hold the suthority of the
United States in supreme contempt is
matter Of no surprise aud that they
should take every favorable opportuni.
ty to break their promises and pillage
the frontier is t. be expected, when 10.
stead of punishment for the offences,
pssos, and teasts, aud presents, and pa
LAYER are tho rewards for fresh prom
isee.
-To.day's papers give dispatches
from COL Gillem stating that the dead
bodies of seventeen Modocs have been
found in the lava beds, and that the
remainder of the baud are now sur.
rounded four miles from their old
stronghold. He thinks he has them
completely in his power. The Klam-
9th Indians are putting on thu wal
paint the Oregon Indians are indulg.
ing 10 war painr and dances aud four
men were murdered IN Kansas by the
red devils Let the government stop
oil palavering aud nonsense, and give
these fiends musket balls and shells
until some Of them, at least, shall be in
coodition to keep peace permanent

THE TERRIBLE STORM IN NE.
BRASKA.

The reports from Nebrasks show the
= storm there last Week to have been one
of remarkable sex Gritty. 1t lasted f~r
several days, effectually blookAdiug
travel, by road and by rail, and causing
great loss of property. But the wors,
OF all is, that many people we're frozen
to death, some wi,hio few steps Of
their houses. This Nebraska storm
seems to have been very much ike the
Minnesota storm of las. January, both
10 klod and in results. The onIy es-
sential difference is that the Nebraska
storm came three months later in the
SEASON., fact, in the middle Of the
second month Of spring.
While sympash'zioy With the people
OF Nebraska 10 their misfortune, w
cannot but remind them of the exceed
ingIy ungeDerous manner 10 which they
magni6ed q similar occurrence in this
State, and endsavored to make capital
for themselves from it. Circulars were
scattered broadcast throughout tho
country 10 which the number of per-
sons who persisted By cold in Minneso-
to was placed At seven hundred and
accompanying this circular was another
setting forth 10 glowing colors the
equableness and mildness of tho climate
Of Nebraska AMI the attractions til at
State offered to immigrants.
A dispatch of Tuesday of this week
from Lincoln, Nebraska, gives the Ia.
test information and is as follows "a
train on the 3. & NJ. road came io this
morning, the first for week. Reports
of the late storm show it to have been
the ssverest ever known here. Men
were frozen to death within two rods OF
their houses, trying to get to their
stock to feed them. Near Grafton, q
man named Keller attempted to reach
neighbours house, half q mile away,
accompanied by his wife and child, and
the two latter were found frozen to
death. Mr. Marshall, near hastings,
pe,ished while trying to reach his stock
The wife and child of Mr.. Brent, nea.
Red Cloud, were frozen to DEATH"

burning the candle at both ends, and it
becomes problem Of the deepest mo
ment to the statesman aud agriculturist
how far this can go on and not sap the
nations wealth Nay, not only this, but
there is very little returned to the land
from that which we use at home. Sent
into cities and towns, and there con
sumcd, that which might be saved from
it is lost by our wastefulness and washed
by the great sewers into the rivers and
harborS, choking them with filth, and
CndGngering the health Of tn .ir people,
by throwing that away which, if brought
again upon the land, would be rich
productivcncss and untold wealth. There
can be no more instructive example of
our recklessness as agriculturists than
the wastcfulness of the very means we
have Of curiching our lands. We boast
Of our civilization and advancement in
knowledge and the arts of agriculture,
and we speak with scornful contempt OF
the semi barbarous Chinese yet they
utilize every atom of matter which may
enrich the soil, and are thus enabled to
produce more of the means of sustaining
life and feeding people from a rod Of
land than we obtain irom an acre. But
this drain upon our resources by the
payment Of our debt abroad. from which
we gct no return, is not the only evil of
our system OF Indictment. The invest
ment of money at interest simply, and
not using it in manufacture, agriculture.
or otherwise in aid of the production or
prcpara ion Of the comforts and ncecss
aries of life, raises up and supports, of
necessity, cl ass of non producers which
living upon incomes, the principal oil
which docs not aid in production makes
them the very droncs of society. eating
out subs,Ince which they do no; in
any degree bring into being. There il
not so cXpensiveia class in a community
as those who merely live upon incomes
derived from tho investm nts Of money
for non productive purposes "They
toll not, neither DO they spin hu; the
lilies of the valley are not arrayed like
one of these"
The entire address is very able AMI
interesting, and We should be glad to
rcpuhlish it were it mt iur lack oi room.

Cultivation Of Wheat.

Touching the subject of the cultjva-
tion of this cereal, NJ. i. Dunlap, of ILL.,
writes:
The culture of Spring wheat has been
a series Of experiments, and has succeed
ed after long struggle. In the early
settlement of the country, when the
atmosphere was saturated with moisture
from the low lands that had not been ex-
posed to the drying winds the heat and
moisture combined to give the straw a
too luxuriart growth, and, if sultry
weather occurred at the time Of the fill
ing Of the berry, the crop was certain
to be struck with rust. On the other
hand, if at the period of its gro with the
weather was cool, it was followed with
large yield-oitcn thirty or forty bush
els to the acre. But the culture of the
praries, by plowing and pasturage,
brought change in the hygromctrc
condition of the climate, and the result
is a less luxuriant growth of straw dc
creased danger from rust, and less
abundant yield in the favorable seasons,
so that now the seasons produce more
uniform yield of the grain. Then ag liz,
we have learned that although the wheat
crop may not take from the soil more
potash and sand to coat an acre of corn
yet that amount is required at much
earlier period of the season; hence, a
different treatment of the soil is requir-
ed, in order that this supply shall be in
readiness.
