THE INDIAN PROBLEM.

there is no portion o: the Presidents
inaugural address more worthy Of imme
diate practical attention than that relating
to our duty as q Christian nation toward
the Indians. Heretofore til. Indian pro-
blem has been subjected to every attempt
at solution except that Of persistent kind
ness and lenity. Their iepredations, their
cruelty. their treaehery have been con-
stanty kept in view as justitying the sever
est course Of treatment: the wrongs they
have suffered at our hands haze been forgot
ten; or remembered only ''to point moral
or adorn y tale" Whateve. has been
done heretofore toward the spread Of edu-
cation or civilization among them has
been of desuItory character. confined to
a limited number of tribes, and constantly
checked by its apparent tutility. Many
students Of Indian manners and character,
discouraged by this i'll success and by the
relapse Of some tribes which had attained
:. semi-civilized state into their almost
original barbarism. are inclined to the
opinion that as {; race the Indians are in
capable Of civilization. and that the only
relation to be sustained toward them by
the United States government is one Of
force. This is evidently not the opinion
Of President Grant. Early during his
.irst presidential term he made the expert
nent of giving the indian problem par
tally into the hands of the Society OF
Friends for peaceaoie solution. encouraged
to make the experiment by the su-
feg;or success which has always attended
these peaceful brethren IN their dealings
with the aboringes. The attempt does
not seem to have had altogether the ex-
pectgd results, for no allusicn Is made TO
j. b. the PRESIDENT. which would have
.cen likely in again calling attention to
ia. indian question, had his expectations
been FULLY realized. We shall. Doubtless.

Cornwall.


 All towns have Itheir claims for public attention and for the town of Cornwall we claim that it is the oldest town in existence. Since the recent thaw has settled the snow on the hills, several eminent ge0lo- gists have been making observations and have found that the town of Cornwall was in being several thousand J ears previous to the creation of the earth, and that the peo. pie lived in balloons while the earth was in process sof.construction. This may &C., count for the airy way in which some of the people carry themselves nowadays. It has also been found that the material of which the tower of Babel was built came largely from Cornwall, which may account in measure for the confusion which was leading feature in the affair. Tue people of this town, although alike in language when you get their ideas together, you will 6n0 are fully ns much in confusion as were they who undertook the tower of Babel. The only thing they agree upon is to get the largest price they can for their ''poison weed, and now when you grasp friendly hand, instead of the usual English Chow dye do" you will hear, '.sold yer terback- CT, and being answered in the affirmative, will come the inquiry, "wbat did you get1" "Wall, between seven and twenty cents," -a very definite answer; but that evening you will hear that he got about sixteen cts and threw m the filters, which is rather good guessing. If any other town can beat this for age let them come right along

Sheffield.

Some one told us few days ago that il was an easy matter to write local items for the papers, because one needed but two or three items to chronicle and gossip could supply the rest, proving the adage true that Large streams from little fountains flow. |" The man who said that did not know from experience his assertion to be true. Items are scarce, and we men are not expected to gossip. We can't do it as it is against our nature. So it remains for me to be brief this week in my communication. The latest and greatest event of interest seems to be the wedding which took place at the house of Bella Clark, Wednesday eve, March 18th. Then and there Edgar Shears was joined ill holy bonds to Anna May, eldest daughter of Mr. Clark. The cere- mony was performed hy Rev. G. D. Townsend, and the occasion was a pleas ant one. About fifty guests were there to witness the making of pair of Shears in just five minutes time! Quick work that. ......Mortality is great this spring in our town and the tolling bell is often heard There has been few births in this region, hut we think best to make note of but one that of son, Frederick Sylvenus Isaiah, born to James Ferry, all of Sheffield!!

MORTALITY REooRDs.-The English mor- tality records for 1872 contain some very curious statements as to the causes of death which assist to deplete the list of Her Mai esty's subjects. and these causes are not so strictly confined to England that they may not convey caution to America. veloci- pedes killed one old woman, one boy and 8 man; bees stung one man to death; and a cat, q ferrit and an adder each killed man by their bite. One charming child swal- lowed screw, another q shell and another cherry stone; each was soon subsequent y buried, as was also the fate of one who hid a stone in his ear, and another who tried to hear bead by thrusting it into his ear. A belle of fashion perished from swallowing pin which she was trying to hold in her mouth; fish bones killed three people who ate without their glasses, and swallowing coins closed the career of two others. The wrong kind of food is attribu- ted with the death of Ave persons, and the shows that food is twice as safe as medi- cine, by the way. These are some of the incidents of the record. Besides these, four hundred and forty-four children were smothered by bed clothes, fact worth no ticing, and nine hundred and thirty persons killed by the railroads. Suicide carried off about seventy in every one million of the population, and hanging is rather the pet device. Premeditated suicides generally occur at night; nasty omissions to live are made by daylight. These are some of the current English accidents of 1872. 1t is open to conjecture how many of them were due to carelessness.

The Centennial.

The citizens of Philadelphia arc making liberal subscriptions for the United States Centennial Celebration, and the great inter- national exhibition which is to open in that city in 1876. Every state has an interest in making this celebration grand success, and it is gratifying to see the city which is the birthplace of the nation contributing so generously to celebrate it's one bundredth birthday. The city of Philadelphia has contributed $575, 900; the railroads center ing there $500 900; private subscriptions in the city amount to $l ,OOO, 900; and the legislature of the state has just appropriat- ed $I.OOO.0OO to the same object. This makes $3, ,O75 .OO0 already assured in Penn sylvania; and besides this, the profitable Philadelphia horse railroads, by legislative action. will appropriate four per cent. of their gross earnings from April 1st, 1873, to the close of the exhibition, more than three years, to the uses of the commission. This will amount to quite large sum, and of course there will be large private sub scriptians in the state, outside of Philadel- phis. There is little doubt that the whole amount of stock-$l0, ,O00, 900 will be readily taken up, and that the exhibition will do honor to our century-old country. Commissioners will soon be sent to foreign countries to solicit Contributions to the ex- hibi;ion of articles representing the arts and industries of the principal nations of the world.-Hartford CourGnt.
