End of the Indian War.

Cheyenne, Wy. T., Jan. Col. Mason,
post commander at Fort Robinson, Red
Cloud agency, telegraph Gen Crook to-day
that he believed that he could get Spotted
Tail to 60 cut and bring in Crazy Horse, if
the General would permit the acceptance
of the hostile chiefs offer to surrender on
his giving up his arms and ponies. Gen.
Crook telegraphed in reply that Col Mason
could accept the surrender on the terms
named. learned to-day that Crazy Horse
is son of Spotted Tails brother. If old
Spot under takes the mission he will
probably succeed, and thus substantially
end the Indian war. That he will endeavor
to do so seems likely, as he dislikes the
prospect of a trip TO the Indian territory,
and wishes to strengthen his influence
with the whites so that his request TO stay
where he is may be respected General
Crook goes to Red Clond in few days.

New York, January 4.-Last night
a sleighing party from Astoria ap-
preached Hunters Point Ferry to
Thirty-fourth street, New York: The
large sleigh was drawn by two horses
and contained besides the driver, three
ladies and three gentlemen. FIom
some cause the gate of the ferry was
open, though the boat had left!the slip.
The speed at which the horses were
going and the slippery descent to the
bridge rendered it impossible to stop
the team, and horses, sleigh, men and
women were precipitated into the
water. All but one of the party were
rescued. The missing man is VIM.
Fearens, of Astoria! One lady had an
arm broken. The horses went under
the ice and were lost.

The aggregate amount of flourpro-
duced each year in America Is over
5000, 900 barrels, requiring in the
neighborhood of $4,000, 900 slaves for
packages on the supposition that it is
all barreled.
The Mark Lane Egprcss asserts that
100 tons of fresh American beef reach
England weekly. This new branch
of trade has created considerable
anxiety in the English agricultural
districts of Shropshire and Stafford
shire,
Fifty thousand elephants are killed
every year to furnish the ivory
worked up in England alone. The
best ivory comes from Zanzibar, the sill
ver-gray from regions south of the
equator, and the favorite ornamental
material from Siam.
The fire in the Lykens Valley, and
Short Mountain mines is still raging.
The damage is already estimated at
100000. 1t is doubtful, whether, in
case the fire be cxtinguished, work
can be resumed before next summer.
Nearly 5000 men arc employed III the
several collieries in Lykens Valley,
one thousand of whom worked in the
burning mines.
OIL City had large oil fire on
Christmas day. The fire originated
in the American Transfer Company,
located on the flats on the west side of
Oil Creek. Several persons were seri-
ously injured by u boiler explosion,
and large tank containing fourteen
thousand barrels of crude oil took fire
and bursted, scattering the burning
oil in all directions and throwing
large pieces of iron several rods.
Thirty thousand barrels of oil were
burned, and large amount of property
destroyed.
