Kenyon Letter.
KENYON, Sept. Is, 1875.

E0st0r orange Advance.
Yesterday, Sunday, we had very
pleasant day here; at least it was 80 to
me, and I believe it was so to most Of
us. At 1880 A. n. we had a farewell
sermon from Rev. John Pemberton,
which was very good. Mr.. Pemberton's
text Was very appropriate for farewell.
There is a candor in his words that
makes them 60 to the heart. We feel
regret that he cannot stay with US, as
he is really needed here, and by his go.
ing, we lose the society of q sincere and
genial friend. He goes from here to
attend the Methodist conference at Red
Wing, and from thence to Minneapolis,
where he will pursue his studies for
some time. Mr.. Pemberton is yet
young, but his friends think he will
equal those on the upper rounds of the
ladder ere long.
In the afternoon the Episcopalians
had the opening service in their new
church. Rev. H. B. Whipple, Bishop
Of Mimi, assisted by Rev. Geo. Du-
bois, were there. The sermon by the
Bishop was beautiful, and hope gave
general satisfaction. Our little church
was well flled-au that could be seat
ed-and we should have had as many
more, but for the fact that it was un-
known that the Bishop would be pres
ent. We were very much pleased with
the sermon and more still with the visit
of our beloved Bishop, who praised the
beauty Of our church highly. We had
no windows in, so cut some oak boughs
which we set in the windows. The ef-
feet was very good, and The shade
agreeable. Two of our lady citizens
were confirmed, 80 that now our COM
municants number six. As you see,we
are very few, but very strong in our re-
solves to build society and church.
Our farmers have y ct considerable
more grain to stack, but with weather
as favorable IS at present, there will be
no difficulty in getting it done.
In spite Of the rain storms, which
have done very much mischief, there
will be bountiful harvest, and 1 can't
but look forward to better times finan-
cially; still money will be locked up
more or less yet for some time to come.
I was sorry to see in the Faribault
Democrat a letter containing some very
grave insinuations Of malpractice
against Drs. Hewitt and Greaves, in the
case of Knudt 0. Solburg, of this place.
There is no doubt that the writer or
writer's of this and other articles Of the
same or worse nature, have taken the
precautions of those who do disreputa-
bic business, to keep their names from
the knowledge Of even the editor, which
is very wise, for if they can be found
out, they may have more to answer for
than would be agreeable, more es-
pecially as it would touch their pockets.
I cannot think, at present, of any,
thing more to say; at least no more
news; besides, one has to handle the
average item Of news or event, with
gloves on and very tenderly, like the
heroine of Hoods Bridge Of Signs, else
some one will be pinched, or think that
I am trying to hurt them. Kenyon
would be the delight of Chicago Times
reporter, 50 long as he could keep sha-
dy his name, but if that was to be found
out, then, poor reporter, pity him.
Yours doubtingly,
An ERRING BRoTHER.

Extracts from the Indian Commits
siOner,s Instructions TO the Sioux
Treaty NegosiatOrs.

BY reference to the treaty of 1868,
made with these Indians, sections and
10 you will be informed as
to the nature and extent of the respective
claims of the Sioux to these tracts of
country. That portion of the Black
Hills country which lies within the boun-
diaries of Dakota Is without dispute a
part of their permanent reservation. TIE
country mentioned in Wyoming, as de-
scrlbed in the sixteenth section Of the
treaty above referred to, IS portion of
''uneeded territory.'' TO this the In
dams have no claim, except for hunting
purposes and the exclusion Of other peo-
pie.
BY reference to map of this country,
enclosed herewith, you will observe that
the cession of the Black Hills and the re
linquishment of the Big Horn country
leaves considerable tract between these
two cessions still within the claim of the
Indians, as defined in the sixth section.
This region, especially along the Powder
river, IS known as the Sioux hunting
grou,~d for buffalo, and is intended still
to be preserved to them for that purpose,
a passage to it being still left open on tn,
north Of the South Fork Of the Cheyenne
as we'll DIS on the south of the South
Fork.
The Sioux, who are parties to the
treaty of 1868, by which the rights in
volved in this negotiation were assured to
them, are now found at six different
agercies-Santee, Grow Creek, Cheyenne
River, Standing Rock, Red Cloud and
Spotted Tail. They number not far from
$4,000. There are also probably not far
from 5000 to 5000 who roam over the
Black Hills country and to the north and
west of it, who have not been enrolled at
any agency and who were only indirectly
represented at the making of the treaty
Of 1858,

THE BEST FARNER.-The best farmer
is he who raises the best and largest
crops on the smallest surface of land at
the least expense, and at the same time
annually improves his soil; who under
stands his business and attends to it;
whose manure heap is very large and
always increasing: whose corn crob and
smoke house are at home; who is sur
rounded by all the necessaries and com
forts oflife; who studies his profession;
and strives to reach his perfection in it,
who keeps strict account of his out
goes as we'll as his incomes, and who
knows how he stands at the end of each
season Such a farmer, in nine times
out of ten, will succeed, and not only
make farming pleasant but profitable

DEATH IN A BALL ROOM.

On Sunday evening during the
ball for the benefit of the French
overhowed, in the main building Of
the Fair Grounds, a tragedy occurred
which it is thought has already ter
minated in the death of Capt y. ID.
Terrebonne, a steamboatman, who
was shot in the chin, receiving a
mortal wound. The evening had
passed pleasantly, nothing occurring
to mar the harmony of the occasion
until Capt. Terrebonne, who seemed
much under the influence of liquor,
entered the room and pulled the hair
of a young lady, at the time dancing
in set OF lancers with Mr.. Ducros.
The lady Immediately called the at
tention of her partner to the affront,
and he instantly expostulated.--
Fierce words arose between the two
men. when Terrebonne, Shaping
Mr.. llucros upon the face, stepped
back as if to draw a revolver. Be-
fore he had an opportunity to fire,
MIR. Ducros presented pistol and
shot him urder the chin, the ball
penetrating his neck. The greatest
excitement prevailed, and numbers
of ladies left the room. Mr.. Terre-
bonnie was taken out by the police,
and conveyed to his residence on
Esplanade street At midnight it
was reported that he had expired,
but this rum0r was not confirmed. -.
Mr.. Ducros at once surrendered, and
was taken TO the Fifth Precinct Sta
ton where he was locked up for the
night. -NeaC Orleans Times.

SABBATH EVENING.

There is no season of the day oil
year, which gives me such pure and
exquisite pleasure, as that of Sum
mer's Sabbath evening, when the
hearth has been soothed, and the
spirit elevated by recent acts of de-
votion and when, over every noun
tain and valley, forest and river, a
holy tranquility reposes, as if inani'
mate nature were conscious of the
sanctity of the day of rest.
To an observer of feeling and
Imagination, the contemplation of
nature is source of continual en-
joyment the budding Spring in>
spires him with hope ; the full blown
Summer fills him with joy +; the de
caying Autumn speaks to him of his
own decay like the soothing voice
Of parent that invites him to repose
after the Iabors of the day and the
desolating Winter gives intimation
of his death, when, like the faded
flowers, his body shall be whitening
in the dust, and his spirit, like the
birds of passage that follow the gen>
iai seasons in their journey round
the globe, shall have winged its way
to a better and happier region.
But Summers Sabbath evening
is the season Of the most exalted en-
joyment it is then that there seems
to be an intimate communion be
tween earth and heaven, and we feel
as if partakers of the pleasures of
both worlds it is then that their
confines seem to meet, and We feel
as if, by one step, we could pass
from time into eternity.
But in the depth OF winter, when
Nature lies despoiIed Of every charm
aud wrapped in her shroui Of sheet
ed snow, we turn for our gra'ihca~
tions to moral sources.
The dreariness and desolatiOn of
the landscape, the short gloomy days
and darksomc night. while they ci:~
cumscribe our wanderings, shut in
feelings also from rambling abroad,
and make us more kcenly disposed
for the pleasures of the social circle.
Our thoughts are more concentrated;
our friendly sympathies more arous
ed. We feel more sensibly the
charm of each others society, and
are brought more clearly together
by dependence on each other for en-
ioyment. Heart calleth unto heart,
and we draw our pleasures from the
deep wells of living kindness, which
lie in the quiet recesses of our be-
SONS; and which, when resOrted to,
furnish forth the pure element of
domestic felicity, E. /. IL.

CUTTING DOWN WAGES.

A shoe manufacturer Of this city
related to us, few days since, his
experience in "cutting down" labor
or rather, in not cutting it down.
On the first day of July, 1874, he
found that the business was dull,
profits small, and prospects for the
balance Of the year very fattering.
In consultation with ether manufac>
turers, he was advised that the only
hope for profit for the next six
months was in obtaining labor at
cheaper rate, and that in all proba>
bility there was more chance for loss
than for gain. After thinking the
matter over, and remembering the
effect Of reduction of wages upon
his own feelings when he was work
ing at shoemaking, he called his cut
ters into the counting room and in
formed them of the situation, closing
by saying that after consideration
he had concluded to stick By the old
prices, and limiting that perhaps @n-
der the circumstances they would be
willing to do more work, if occasion
required. At the end of the year it
was found that, upon the same work
with the same hours of labor, they
had cut an average of 5000 pairs
per man more than in the previous
six months. Here is one case, GER
tainly, where it paid not to cut down
the wages of workmen.-Lynn
