Justice Of the peace and demanded that

TIE ABOLITION OF LENT.-An effort
is being made in the Reformed Episco-

cent conference ct clergymen of that
denomination in Philadelphia it was de-
cided to recommend the policy of aban-
doning the services to the general stand
ing committee, on the ground that the
Indulgence in worldly pleasures before
and after Lent is increased by way OF
compensation for the enforced Austen.
tion during the season of fasting, and
upon the futher ground that uniform
moderation of life is the church's great
need, and that this may be better secured
without Lenten o5servances than with
them. Tue change, if it shall be made,
is a radical one, and will work a wider
breach Than ever between the two Epis-
copalian churches in this country.

INDIAN FrGnr-A dispatch from Fit
Laramie, dated 20th inst, says Mr..
Milligan, of Scranton, Pennsylvania, ar
rived here this afternoon. He says that
while coming in, on the morning of the
10th, his party was attacked by Indians
in Red canon, near Cheyenne river
rancho about fifty miles from Custer. A
few of the party escaped to the rancho.
Mr.. and Mrs Metz, of Laramie, were
killed. A colored woman was taken
prisoner. a man named Simpson was
also killed. The bodies were buried
the next day. Three men were wound
ed: Grichan, of Missouri mortally, and
FELTON,, of Missouri, and &. w. Berges-
ser, of Virginia City, Nevada seriously.
The wounded men are at Cheyenne riv-
er rancho. The place where the attack
was made is about one hundred and
twenty miles from this point. A party
from the Black Hills today say that
about ten days ago three wagons were
found at the entrance of Buffalo gap, on
the Yankton route, destroyed and stock
gone. Signs of fight were numerous
The wagOncovers had been shot to
pieces. The Indians had undoubtedly
attacked and destroyed the entire outfit.
