in the Assembly to-day. M. Salonl Di Istra,

uties from the Left rushed towards him shout
ing and shaking their fists The President of

THE INDIANS.
Sharp Battle i'm Wyoming.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The War Depart
ment received report of the expedition under
Capt. Bates, which left Camp Brown, Wyoming
Territory, July LIST for the purpose of pun
ishing the Indians who were committing
depredations. He reached the Indian Ivilage
at Owl Creek Mountains, which consisted of
112 lodges in deep ravine. The Indians
opened fire on the troops, but without damage,
and the troops drove them through gully
where they were crowded so closely together
near the lower end that the troops had splen-
did chance at them, and counted after the fight
II dead bodies almost in one heap. In about
twenty minutes or half an hour at the further
est there was not an Indian in the village, ex-
ceptng the dead and the children who
were left in the lodges. The Indians who
had escaped had reached the rocks above,
where they opened very telling fire on the
troops, killing two men and wounding three.
The result of the fight was % Indians killed,
and with the usual proportion of four wounded
to one killed, there being 100 wounded. Com
plant is made of the bad behavior and cow
ardice of the Shoshones who were with the
party of allies.

death we briefly announced on Saturday. was
"a years of age at the time of his death. He
was extensively engaged in the lumber bust
ness for over forty years, having at one time
an Office in this city, with mills in this state
and Vermont. He was large land holder and
was also interested in several stage lines.
In 1858 he moved to this city from Baldwin,
and soon after became Director in the Me-
chanic's Bank, where his keen business capa-
city became of great service.
MI. Dyer had at one time amassed large
fortune. but the Cnba trade in which he was
extensively engaged, together with other un-
profitable investments, caused him heavy losses.
Our older citizens will remember Mr.. Dyer as
a prominent politician of thirty years ago, at
which time he had great influence in his own
vicinity. One popularity of his political life
was that he always refused to be candidate
for any Office. He leaves widow, two sons
and two daughters. The oldest son is now a
prominent and wealthy lumber and oil mer-
chant at Faqundus, Pa, the youngest is still at
school. The oldest daughter is the wife of
DR.. j. E. L. Kimball of Saco, and the other
the wife of G. B. Lord, Esq, of Alfred.
The funeral service will take place at Mr.
Dyer's late residence, 407 Congress street, at
ten o'clock this morning. The remains will
be taken to Baldwin for interment in the fam.
lily burial lot, where there will be a brief ser
vice at 2.4Op pm.
Sunday in the Hnrbor.
The Sunday excursions to the Islands were
largely patron:zed yesterday and many weary
mechanics, clerks and other men whose occu-
patton are constant and engrossing awaited
themselves. of this, their only opportunity to
get breath of air straight from the ocean and
to rest their tired eyes, heads and bodies amid
the beauties of sky, sea, and shore, SO abund-
antly afforded by a trip down the Bay. The
Charles Houghton made two trips to Little
Chebeague, touching at Peaks, and the GazelIe
went to Cashiag's and Peaks. Beside these
favorite boats new aspirant for popular favor
made her appeatance-the little Svea owned by
John A. Lidback, Esq, .and commanded by
Capt. E. NJ. Bonser. She is fast, neat and
convenient craft and proposes to make eight
regular trips each day from Ferry Landing,
Custom House Wharf, to Trefethen'r Landing
She carried yesterday large number of our
Scandinavian fellow-citizens to Peaks Island
She is likely to become popular among excur-
sionists.
A noticeable feature on all the boats yester-
day was the entire absence of everything
approximating to rowdyism and the general
quiet, sensible and happy dcmeanor of those
who sought the Islands. 1t was evidently
very delightful and useful opportunity for the
most of them and the boats are quite certain to
be we'll filled on future Sundays, as they are
all managed by men who would not permit the
enjoyment of their patrons to be marred by any
riotous or disorderly conduct.

righting all the wrongs of which soci-
ETY. complains. Inordinate expenditure
and taxation, popular discontents and
disregard for all the obligations of law,
are the natural and direct fruits of these
arbitrary interferences with the social
habits, private enterprises or religious
beliefs of the people" ~
For these reasons Governor Taylor
recommends the repeal of certain re-
straining laws which it was found i'm
practicable to enforce, and hence had
no other effect than to disturb society,
bling the enforcement of all laws into
contempt, and to promote general
spirit of lawlessness. This has been
the uniform effect of all laws. to prohibit
whatever popular sentiment sanctions,
and nc reformer ever promoted his cause
by invoking the strong ann of the law
to his aid in advance of popular convic-
ton and consent.

THE CAss1AR M1NEs.-Purser Wander
bilt of the S. S. California, just returned
from Fort Wrangle, reports that OH the
3rd inst. ITO men left Wrangel for the
Cassiar mines; on the 4th, 40 or 5O men
left, and 40 remained. On Monday last
the steamer Eliza Anderson left Victoria
for Wrangle with full cargo of pas
sengers and freight destined for the
mines. The California is advertised to
leave this port on the goth for the same
destination, and we understand will be
loaded with freight and passengers,
principally from Portland. From Fort
Wrangle, at the mouth of the Stickeen
river, to the mines, the distance is
abont $50 miles, 100 miles on the river
and 80 miles over mountain trail. The
passage is Low made on foot, the 100
miles on the ice, and at this season OF
the year is attended with the greatest
hardships and peril to life and limb;
the weather being intensely cold. The
river will not be open to navigation till
some time in May.

F 1t may be remembered that the
fate of Alley. who was tried about two
years ago for the murder of Abijah Ellis
in Boston. depended on whether the
blood found in the stables was that of q
human being or horse. Surgeons tes-
titled both ways, and the jury acquitted
the prisoner. Investigations since made
by eminent scientific men in Europe
have developed the fact that the differ
ence between even the fresh blood of a
human being is so slight as to be recog-
nized only with difficulty; and in dried
blood the difference il almost lmpercep-
tible.
