From the Southwest there comes news
Of very serious hostile outbreak ofChey-
cnne aud Arapahoc Indians ~ Northeast
crn Texas aud New Mexico Some two
thousand are aid to be on the war path,
numbering and laundering wherever they
20, and some unlueky teamsters who have
fallen in their way have already beecn
killed aud scalped and their wagon trains
burned. There seems to be no doubt OF
the aggravated character of the crime OF
the sayages as oven the Quaker who OH
ciates as Indian Agent IN the vicinity OF
their reservation has made an urgent de-
mand for troops TO subdue them Ia
Minnesota a marauding party ofSioux have
murdered family and burned asettlement
near Pembina. Il looks as IL the regular
trouble with the Indians which occurs as
soon as they are able to take the war path
each summer, will be more than usually
aggravated this season, and win require
more vigorous campaign against them than
has recently been waged.
notwithstanding that over one hundred

the abolition of the frankipg privilege has
had something to do with the increased

FIRg ~ TnE HARVEST FIHib.-Thp Fred.
eriek Erdminer of Wednesday says Last
Friday afternoon, several Of our farmers in
Buckeystown District, had the misfortune 10
have portion Of their wheat crop DESTROYED
by hire. II seems, from what we can learn,
that some laborers on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad sci hre TO the grass along the road
with the view OF remoyiugit but unfortunately

Mr. John 1. Best, living on the farm of Col.
Chas. Il. Trail, at the Monocacy Junction, but
y was eNunguished before u great deal of
damage was done the FIRE sweeping over from
ten TO twelve acres, involving a loss of about
200 bushels of wheat which was chi and
shocked. About the time the fire on tho above
farm was put out, the train due here nj 4
O'Clock in the afternoon came down. and
when opposite the farm of DIR. D. L. McKin.
ney, in Buekeystown District, n sparl from
the engine set the grass on fire along the road

about five acres. From Dr. Mckinney fold
the flames communicated with the adioinin,
wheat field Of Mr.. G. Brosius. This 6eld
contains over fifty acres, forty.odd Of which
wasin wheat. Every possible effort was made
to stay the progress Of the devourinr element
but they did not succeed until about % acres
of his harvest was destroyed. An atlempt
was made to put it out with rakes, but this
proved unavailIng. Flows were then brought
into requisition, by blowing hastily four fur
rows some distance ahead OF the advancing
ilames, their progress was checked, and in
this way they succeeded in putting the FIRE
out. The fire at one time assumed n very
serious aspect, and threatened very disastrous
consequences. a lot of fencing was also dc.
stroyed. Dr. Mckinney lost about 100 bush.

RAILROAD TRAvEL-In order to show how
much travel has increased from Westminster
since the reduction Of the rates of fare, we
made the inquiry Of Mr.. r. S. Stouffer, the
agent of the railroad company, who informed
us that in June, 1873, there were sold 1903
tickets, and in June 1874, 1888 tickets were
sold, showing an increase of 4s5 tickets. The
amount received in June, 1873, for tickets
was $1,000, and in June, 1874, $500. This
shows that the public have availed themselves
largely of the reduction of rates, and that it
was popular move on the part Of the com.
pany. The present management seems ever
ready to accommodate, and excursion tickets
for parties or pic mics are readily obtained.
Such being the fact we would like to see pic
mics to Druid Hill Park, Baltimore, Double
Pipe Creek, Rocky Ridge, Mechanicstown,
Monterey Springs, ard other beautiful resorts
along the line Of the road.

dancing, promenading, croquet, &c. beguile
the hours. The Sybilline Bower, Jacobs

ever delights the palate, adds to the enjoy
ment. We have no doubt that the Amphions
could make good thing out of it, and afford
our citizens one of the most agreeable enter.

provide some much needed instruments for
