Indian Affairs - Hanging by
Wholesale.

1t is reported by Colonel E. C. Boudi-
not that twenty-seven cases of murders
committed in the Indian Nation were
recently tried by Judge Parker, at the
United States District Court, Fort
Smith, Arkansas. There were eight
convictions On indictments for murder
in the first degree, and seven of the
cOnvicts were sentenced to be hung on
the third day of next September. One
of the criminals is a boy of seventeen,
and another OF nineteen years. The
eighth convict was a negro, Joseph But
Ter. who was shot dead while trying to
escape from confinement.
1t is further stated by Col. Boudinot
that much tumult has prevailed recently
in the Indian Territory adjoining Fort
Smith, and as many as ten men have
lost their liYes there within a short time
past. A contest for the position of chief
is being carried on with a deal of bitter
ness in the Cherokee country. Thomp-
son and Ross are the prominent candi-
dates. Judge Parker, who is from Mis-
souri,, has discharged his duties, the
Colonel reports, in a manner that gives
general satisfaction.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

The Fourth Of July Celebration.

The celebration of the Fourth of July
by a portion of our citizens, was very
ereditable affair, though limited in num-
bers and preparation. Mr.. George E.
King read the Declaration of Independ-
n C in good style. The main fea-
ture of the occasion was the speech of
Hon. David Rea. His remarks were
listened to attentively throughout, and
we'll received by the audience. Trey
were largely historic, describing the
progress of our country in the arts and
sciences, from the foundation to the
present time. Dugan's excellent Cornet
Band was in attendance, d~iscoursing
our national airs in fine style. Profess
sor Sanborn, and Savannah Glee Club,
with organ, were a decided success in
the musical line, and deserve the thanks
of the community tor their volunteer
efforts.
Everything passed off very pleasantly.
and in the best of order, and the feeling
confirmed in all the participants of the
beneficial effects of thus spending our
national holidays.

Judge MeLain, la company with sew
eral other gentlemen from Savannah,
Andrew county, Mo-, paid our county a
visit last week. The Judge has large
land interests in this county and from
the shortness of pasturage in Andrew,
he proposes to improve several tracts of
land in this county by building stables
and cattle sheds for his stock. He ex-
poets to bring a herd of5OO head Of cat
tie this week, and he also intends to cut
grass enough on his own land to winter
them. The Judge informed US that he
and his party performed the journey to
this place in a wagon, and were camp
ing out. Travelling at grasshopper
rates, the entire expenses Of the party
since leaving Savannah amounted to the
enormous sum of 80 cents. Such ex-
trayagance would ''bust up creation,"-

COLUMBIA, O., July 6.-For several
days past a warm conflict has been go
ing on in Westerville, in this county be-
tween the citizens Of the town and one
Henry Ii. COrbin, who recently started
a saloon within the corporation. Until
yesterday the war had been one OF
words, but last night some unknown
parties secretly placed gun powder in
the saloon building, connecting with it
a fuse, which caused an explosion to oc-
cur about midnight, blowing out the
windows and doors of the building and
raising the roof about four inches. To-
day, upon Corbin's application, warrants
were issued for the arrest of the preach
ers of the village churches in Wester-
vile, the postmaster and four other cit
liens. The warrants charge the par
ties named and others unknown with
riotous conduct in assaulting and en-
couraging an assault upon Corbin's sa-
loon with stones on the night of July 2.
Otterbein University is located at Wes-
terville, and for many years no saloon
has been allowed to exist in the town.
The excitement is very great, and each
side is equally determined TO hold out.

Sturgeon says, and with a deal of
truth: "Ohl how irresolute a man
often is concerning a sin which he
knows to be a sin, but which enchants
him with its sweetness. Ali how a
man will say: Il must give it up, but
1 cannot Sin dies hard; it makes a
hundred excuses for itself, and pleads:
is it not q little one? Is it not a sweet
one2' o Lord, then give me strength
of resolution; and when / know that
a thing is wrong, help me to have
done with it; and when l perceive an
action to be right, help me to make
haste, and delay not to keep Thy
commandments. o! my Lord, may 1
never try to patch up a peace be-
tween my conscience and myself by
trimming and compromising. If I
know a thing to be Thy will, may 1
never parley nor question; for this is
not obedience. The spirit of parley
is the essence of high treason"

Mr.. Horace Wood, for some seven or
eight years a worthy citizen Of Andrew
county, left for Utah on Wednesday
morning last. His intention is tofollow
mining with his brother in that terrific

has three brothers in Utah, all engaged
in mining, and doing well. The mine
in Little Cottonwood Canyon yields sill

our young friend much success. Like
a sensible young man, he called upon
us before he left and had a copy Of the

he might get the home news. He
promises us on his arrival at his destin-
alton to write US descriptions of the
country for publication. We shall be
pleased to hear from him.

The oldest man in the Union, in all
probability, is Lomer Grifin,ef Lodi,
Medina Co., Ohio. Reports differ
some as to Mr.. Griffin's precise age.
His present wife--his third-whom
he married about twenty-five years
ago, allots him 113 years; but other
evidences and testimony make him
116. He was born on the 22d Of April,
1889, or thereabout, at CRANKY, Liteh-
field county, Conn. In spite of his
old age he is still hale md intelligent
and we'll remembers the localities and
scenes of his early days. He recalls

Gazette. comes to us from Mr.. L. NJ.
Bvrne, that an adopted son Of Mr.. Mich
clas Ford was drowned in the Platte at
Rochester, on the evening of the 9Th, at

he lost his life as above stated. Up to

Destruction of Birds.

Elsewhere we publish a very sensible
article on the value of birds to farmers.
From the light of recent events this mat
ter is becoming more and more discuss
ed, and we hope the day is not far dis
tant when suitable laws will be enacted
and enforced for the preservation of all
insect and worm destroying Birds
which comprehends nearly the whole of
them. No sooner are the locusts gone
than the farmers find themselves con-
ironted with other enemies-all the
natural food of birds. The devastations
produced by these pests could be ma
terially reduced, and finally controlled
and checkmated, if sufficient encourage
ment was given to the preservation and
increase of their natural enemies. Why
destroy the birdsP God has given them
life to enjoy 1t, and also to be of service
to mankind. They are the friend of
man. not his enemy. What little harm
they do, or are supposed to do, by eat
ing a few grains of his wheat, (the most
of it scattered on the ground), is it not
made up to him a hundred fold by the
insects they eat?
We notice from our St. Joseph ex-
changes that the ''spOrts" of that city,
appropriate class) made use of the
glorious Fourth by having a "grand
pigeon shooting MATCH" as part of the
exercises of the day. Could not this
%dlsgraceful performance have been
omitted from the programme? What a
dissertation to mingle such ~inexcusable
wantonness and cruelty with festivities
in honor of our nations birthday!

THEY RAISE HIS SALARY.

NEW YORK, July IA largely at
tended meeting of the Plymouth Society
which Is composed of %pewholders Of
Plymouth Church, was held in the lee
ture-room of the church this evening,
with Mr.. J. B, Hutchinson in the chair.
The meeting was called for the purpose
of considering the question of increas-
ing Mr.. Beecher's salary, Mr.. Henry
w. Sage offered a resolution to the eff
feet that the salary of the pastor for the
ensuing year be fixed at 100000, in
stead Of S20, 900, which it has heretofore
been. This was seconded by Mr.. R.W.
Pope, after which Mr.. r. w. Raymond
made an address in which he censured
the action OF the press very strongly, re-
porters he characterized as a perfect
nuisance, and said that they had all suf-
fered by being interviewed by represen-
tatives of the press Of the country MIR.
S. B. White then delivered a brief and
pertinent address in favor of the pas
sage Of the resolution. He said while
the investigating committee were set
ting Plymouth Church had made no eff
fort to influence them in any way. and
80 it had been all through the trial, they
had made no move towards influencing
the jury or anybody else in Mr.. Beech
er's behalf. There were about four
ffths of the pew holders of the church
present at the meeting, which was a
very enthusiastic one, and it is general
ly understood among the congregation
that this enormous salary is only for this
year, and is mainly intended to help de-
fray the expenses of the trial.
