" Root, Hog, or Die"

The following letter, explana-
tory of the circular recently sent
out by Commissioner Smith, of
the Indian Bureau, relative to
section 3 of an Act of June 22d,
1873, requiring Indians to render
an equivalent for supplies, etc,
has been sent by the Ommission-
er to Indian Agent Vosburg, at
POtterville, California
"You give as a reason why the re-
strictiOns of this section should not
apply to the Indians Of your agen-
cy, that the Indians are located
on rented lands. and no induce
ments are offered the tribe or gov
eminent to improve such lands be-
yond the point required for tenn
poraly occupation.
81 do not understand what use
you can have for any large extent
of land unless the Indians work
the land by way of farming. If
the lands are only used for camp
ing purposes, it would be better
to go at once to their Reservation,
for however sterile and barren
that location may be, it will GER
tainly serve for holding Indian
huts. l have supposed that the
Government was paying large
rental for lands at Tule river that
were susceptible for cultivation;
and if SO, see no reason why the
Indians may not themselves per-
form all the labor Of cultivation,
and / also see no further reason if
you are obliged to feed the In
dians, why they should not be
made to labor in retnrn, even if
the labor itself brought no other
result than a tendency to guilty.
ate industry and self-reliance.
Better employ them in digging
bitches one day, and filing them
up again the next, than to feed
them in idleness. But probably
a thorough cultivation of the land
they occupy, even though the
permanency of occupation is not
established, would be better en-

of the labor which Indians are
sometimes accustomed to under
take for farmers outside of the
Reservation. In the last resort,
you being unable to provide any

form of labor"

THE BACHELORS APPEAL.


A String of Parodies,
Tell me, We winged winds,
That round my pathway roar,
Do you not know some spot
Where women fret no more?
Some lone and pleasant dell.
Some "hOller" in the ground,
Where babies never yell,
And cradles are not found?
The loud wind blew the snow into my face
And snickered as il answered, Marry
place"
Tell me, thou misty deep,
Whose pillows round me play,
Know'st thou some favored spot,
Some island far away,
Where the weary man can find
A place to smoke in peace
Where crinOline ls not,
And hoops are out of place?
The loud winds, sounding perpetual shout,
Stopped for while and spluttered, You
get out!'

And voice sweet but sad responded,
"POhr'

AN historical CHARACTER.
A Reminder of "The Day we Celebrate.

A Reminder of '.The Day we Celtbrate.'
As yesterday was the anniversary Of the day on
which the first blood of the revolution was shed,
we have an incident which is eminently proper to
publish on an occasion like this. Captain Sam =
uel Whittemore livcda hundred years ago in West
Cambridge, Mass. lie was the great-great- grand
father of Maj. j. NJ. Whittemore, commandant at
the U. S. Arsenal in this city. He was eighty
one years of age at the time of the battle of Lex
ington; had previously been connected with the
British army as Captain of the Royal Dragons,
and was one of the original settlers Of this country
1t is strongly suspected that lie was one Of the no.
torious tea party that caused such commoton
among the fishes in Boston harbor, although
that has not been authenticated He once held
position On the staff of Gen. Hancock. As we
have said he was eighty years old at the time
of the battle Of Lexington, but he was made young
again with the fire Of patriotism. He was a large
athletic, powerful man. Dressing himself in his
regimentals, W it'll cooked hat and a the old time
arrangements, and armed with a gun and two
horse pistols, he addressed the "minute men," ex.
horting them to do their duty, and started in pur-
suit of the retreatng Britishers. lie was rcmon-
suateu Win py MS uduSnter nut III was OF no USE
lie contended that he was not too old vet for ac-
tive service, and fhe could only kill red-coat he
would willingly die content. Thus the old man
started on the road to Lexington, accompanied By
young man, whom afterwards he seems to have
sent home. The Captain saw battalion of gren-
adiers approaching, and placed himself behind
tree; from this place Of conceament he had the
satisfaction of shooting dead two of the British
soldiers, and was the point of shooting anoth-
er, when return fire carried away piece of his
cheek bone. He was then rushed upon, overpow-
cred, bayoneted, and thrown over the stone wall
Of fence into an orchard, and left for dead. But
he was picked up by the pursuing Yankees, taken
to his home in West Cambridge, where his wounds
were dressed. He had received dozen or more
thrusts from bayonets, but none reached vital
part, and the old soldier recovered, and lived to
the great age Of ninety nine years. lie frequent
ly remarked that he rejoiced in the privilege of
going, and would gladly repeat the experiment
did occasion require it,
The names of men like Capt. Whttemorc ought
not to be lost from the pages Of history The
course that he pursued shows the determination of
the oppressed in the carly times to shake off the
yoke and the calling chains of the oppressor; and
lives like his inspire and keep alive the fires Of
patriotism in the breasts Of the sons of these noble

Minor Matters.

There was pleasant time at the close Of the
high school term at yesterday mornings examina-
tons. In the afternoon the general exercises Of
part of the school were witnessed by goody num-
Der of citizens. Thus ends the second year of the
school and this thought, together with the fact of
the old academy building being occupied by the
school, called up some pleasant thoughts and rem
nscences by some of the old friends of education
of former days. Remarks were made by Deacon
Bickford, formerly a teacher here many years
and thorough scholar. He was listened to with
interest, as he added teachers earnestness to his
interest in the present work. DR.. b. +. Buxton
favorably known to the medical fraternity of the
State as a scholar and physician, was decidedly
happy IN remarks of points of interest and i'm
prov ements since his days in school. He thought
he must be little old fogy, vet his memory
seemed TO be fresh of old of his school day
troubles ana trials, and warned that fifty or
sixty years hence we might be equally old fogy
Yet he reloced to see all these advantages, and
the prosperity of the school. He hoped to come
again. Other remarks made of interest.
Mr.. |. 2. Starrett expressed much pleasure in all
he saw. Two years are not long to look back, yet
they sufficient to mark steps, and will the citi
zens mark these steps in the gaining influence of
the high school and its worthiness!
