Dealing With Indians.

and 1856, ouhi, the most conspicuous

powerful tribe in Washington Terri
tory, WIS one Of the principal leaders.
After several months Of fighting, seeing
the hopelessness Of the contest, he came
in and delivered himself up. The
officer 10 whom he surrendered was Cap.
tain Dent, OF tho Ninth Infantry, the
brother in law of President Grant.
General Wright, who commanded the
troops then in the field, rs soon as the
fact Of the capture OF 0uhi was an
nounced to him, directed the prisoner
to be brought before him. He then
said
You have seen the sun for the last
time. l am going to hang you. Not
that you have fought against us in
battle, but because before the war
broke out yon murdered Indian Agent
Bolen. He was your friend but you
followed him from the Yakima Agency
on his journey to the Dalles, and when
at noon he was resting, You and two
other Indians killed him, and yet the
moment before you had been smoking
with him. This was not war-it was
the act OF a dog, and you shall die a
dogs death. Captain Dent, as Officer
OF the Day, you will detail q Sergeant
and the proper number Of men, and
hang this man rs soon as the prepare.

Indian Relics.

In removing an old Indian mound on
Colonel Aliens farm in Rockland town
ship, q few days ago, says the Dayen-
mort Qoval Gazette, the workmen came
across some interesting relics Of the
long.gone race OF Indians known gen.
eraiiy as the Mound builders" Colonel
Aliens house is situated on q spur Of
the bluff about five miles below the
city, and at n point from which the
view is unrestricted for several milesup
aud down the riyer-certainly q fine
location for an Indian lookout.
The mound was about thirty feet in
diameter at its base, six feet in height,
in shape even and symmetrical, and
formed Of light soil, which, under.
meath the sod, was perfectly dry. The
bones Of two bodies were found, one
Oh each side of the centre, east and
west but time has played sad havoc
with them, and little remains That
would be OF material aid TO the an
tiuuary. The lower iaw-bone Of one
still holds together, the teeth sound
but considerably worn down into the
crown. By the side OF each body was
found nm earthenware vessel-specimens
OF antique pottery of no mean shape
and design for the rude age in which
they were manufactured. The vessels
or vases arc pineapple shaped, four
inches in diameter ut the rim, which is
little more than M inch wide, swell.
ing ont 10 six inches in diameter, and
tapering slightly rounded at the bot
tom, and about five inches deep. There
is slight attempt ut ornamentation on
the rim lines running mp and down
dingonally, with short parallel lines
filling the spaces, and four knobs at
cuual distance around two Of them with
m opening adapted to q thong or
string for carrying: the bowl is marked
or, rather, scratched over with finer
lines. They are made OF clay mixed
with sand, evidently kiln-baked, per.
fectly smooth inside, and are Of the
uniform thickness Of one inch. In one
of them was found shell, or rather
what was once shell, for it went into
dast at the touch. The implements Of
war which were got ont whole were
stone tomahawk, an arrow head, and
large boulder with groove round
the centre, possibly battle axe other
pieces were too much broken to put
together. These relics are much the
same in general shape and design as
have been found in South America, in
the Southern States OF our country, and
throughout the Mississippi Yalley.'rec'
ords OF race long extinct q people
without name, who left no history, nor
even tradition, to guido the antiqnary
in his search. When Colonel Allen
built here, several years ago, their were
six Of these mounds. Two were cut
down and wheeled ofrby the lnborers,
and whatever WINS uDearthed was carried
OF or broken the present one makes
the third, with the above result, The
others will probably remain in Statu
quo, as monuments Of the by.gons race,
unless the Historical Society make an
attack In force.

EDITORIAL NOTICES are so common
that it is almost impossible for an editor
to express his honest opinion of the
merits Of my article without being sus-
pected Of interested motives. This fact,
however, shall not deter us from say-
ing what we think Of new addition to
the AIateriR Medica to which our atten-
ton has been recently directed. We
refer to Dr.. j. WALKERS CALIFORNIA
VINEGAR BTTrERs, q remedy which is
making its way into more families Just
now than all the other advertised medi-
Cines put together. Its popularity, Us
far as we can judge, is not based on
empty pretention. There seems TO be
no question about the potency Of its
tonic and altera i've properties, while II
possesses the great negative recon
mendation OF containing neither alco-
hol nor mineral poison. That II is a
specific for Indigestion, Biliousness,
Constipation, and many complaints OF
nervous origin, We have reasont to know;
and we IRE assured on good authority
that as q general invigornnt, regulating
and purifying medicine, ii has no equal.
II is stated that its ingredients, Job
tanned from the wilds Of California, } are
new to the medical world; and its ex-
traordinnry effects certainly warrant the
conclusion that it is compound OF
agents hitherto unknown. If populari-
~ is any criterion, there can be no
doubt OF the efficiency OF the VINEGAR
BrTERs, for the sale Of the article is

How a Man Became old In One Might,

The sexton OF st. Josoph's cathedral,
Vienna, being man of extraordinary
nerve and boldness, WINS accustomed TO
stand on the pinnacle Of the tower,
whenever the emperor mado q grind
entry to the city, and wave O flag az the
pageant passed by. When, however,
Leopold, who had Just been chosen
emperor, ut Frankfort, was about 70
onter the city, the loyal sexton, still
anxious to be true to Tho old custom,
but finding that years had told against
his nerve, declared that any one who
would take his place successfully should
win his daughter. Gabriel Petershcim
who was disliked by the sexton, but
loved bis daughter, at once accepted
the offer, TO the disgust Of the sexton
who then arranged with two villains Il
close the trap-door OF the upper stair
way, while Gabriel was above, thinking
that as the emperor was to enter 10
ward evening, no one need bethe wiser
and the lad must certainly fall before
morning. The two accomplices did
their foul work, and their intended
victim, finding his way down again bar
red, was confronted with thealternatiyt
Of clinging to the spire through cold
wintry night, with his feet resting on
surface hardly ten inches in circum
ference, or OF precipitating himself tC
the pavement at once and thus ending
the matter. Gabriel was o youth Of
firm will and hardy constitution; he
chung to the cold column till morning
But the story goes that his rescu,n
were amazed to observethat his curling
locks were white as snow his wonted

Bridal TrOusseaus.

The Pail Mall Gazette thinks that a
man about to marry can commit no
greater error than 70 interfere in any
why with regard to his intended wiieIs
trousseau. BY so doing he is guilty Of
All act OF extreme presumption, aud he
also incurs pecuniary responsibility
often Of a serious nature. In q dispute
about brides trousseau, Sheriff Lees,
Mt Airdrie, in Scotland, has Just issued
an interlocutor, which fully enters into
the law rs to husbands liability in
this respect. In the case in question
the husband was sued by the trades
man who supplied the outfit, and, asst
was clearly proven that they were sup
piled on the defendants order, the
sheriff held him liable in the amount Of
the account, E27s. S., with E3 Is. lid,
cost. The dcfences stated were; First
That it was the duty OF the brides
father to provide her wedding outfit
and, second, that the account should be
reduced or disallowed, Us il WIS extraya
CANT for the position Of the defender
wife. The learned sheriff, in q long
note, enters into the law OH this point,
and finds that while in ordinary case,
the husband would not be liable, vel
when MS in this case the goods were gol
on his express order, he must be held
to be the responsible party, and caunOI
be allowed TO complainoi extravaganza
This seems only fair; for il husbands
have ordered their wives trousseaul
they cannot complain il they are sub
sequently called upon to pay; but Of
ten both husband and wife afew month
after marriage bitterly regret that {
large sum which might have been use

ing their house, has found its way int

Some two years ago there was diseoy.
cred on the shores Of Lake Champlain,
Vermont, by Mr.. Hanson, Of Pliiladel-
phia, a rich ind valuable deposit Of
beautiful variegated marble. It varies
from deep red to pale chocolate col.
or, richly mRrbled and grained. It ia
very hard and well adapted for making
columns and ornamental work, such as
pier or centre tables, panelings, fancy
wainscoting, and cabinet purposes gen.
orally. Wien polished II is not easily
defaced. The deposit is found in beds,
or strata, varying in thickness from one
to six feet. In the report OF the geolog-
ical survey Of the State Of Vermont 1t is
said that "the marble is found to be
principally composed Of fragments Of
stratided rock varying in size from q
barleycorn to blocks q foot or more in
diameter, which appear to have been
promiscnOusly piled together, after
which they are cemented with sab.
stnnce having much more lime in its
composition than the fragments them
selves. This cement has lighter color
than the ether portions OF the mass,
which gives it the beautiful starry and
variegHted appearance observable in the
mosaic marble, making II equal in beau.
ty to the artificial mosaic work Of Her.
culaneum aud Ponpeii.
In the new Drexel Building, corner of
Wall and Broad streets, New York city,
these marbles are used in paneling and
wainscoting Of the interior, with admir-
able effect. Tho contrasts in colors are
very beautiful, hut the Lake Champlain
marble ut once commands attention
