As the pursuit and surrcrder Of thief
Joseph to Gen. Miles was one of the most
stirring cven's in our Indian warfare, it is
proper 10 notice bis subsequent movements
After the surrender, Gen. Howard, who
had arrived on the ground with squad of
cavalry. assumed tie direction Of affairs.
being the superior officer Of Miles, and
with Joseph, his men, the squaws aud
children, proceeded 10 Fort Benton, on the
upper Missouri, about forty miles distant
l. - SAID That Howard there promised
Joseph that the government wouid restore
him to his home and the home Of his fore
fathers in Walla WalIa valley, Oregon.
That is precisely What ought 10 have been
dome, hut rs the government is not in the
habit of respecting The rights Of any Of
the Indian trbrs, /: is just what has not
been done and Joseph, instead of being
taken to Nalla Waila valley, which be-
longs to him and his tribe on every prlnci-
pie of justice, was placed on board of n
steamboat and taken down the river to
Fort Ieaveuworth, where he will be kept,
so it has been announced. until reserva-
ton is set apart for him in the Indian ter
ritory, south of Kansas.
The fate of the Nez Perces is peculiarly
hard. If they were cruel aud bloodthirsty
like the Camanches Of Texas, or tho
Apaches of Arizona, there would be ampl,
justification for their treatment. But they
are intelligent beyond all the other western
tribes-have always been peaceable anC
well disposed, and truthfully boast that N,
white man has ever lost his life at thei
hands. Despoiled of their rich and ferti
lands by the greed and rapacity cf tn
white man, they abandoned them and be
came outcasts and wanderers. Overpower
ed by the strong arm OF the government;
they are carried in exile to Il distant ant
stI ange land, amongst a strange people, t
linger out miserable and unhappy exis,
euce. Such is justice as administered to
cheated and plundered tribe Of peaceabl
Indians by 'the greatest and freeest cUun
try on the face of the EARTH

MAN HANGING BY HIS IIEEL.-A. the
Rising Sun Mine, near Colfax. Il most ex-
traordlnary accident occurred the other
day. As four OF five miners were being
lowered into the shaft, and when yet but a
short distance down, one of them Il Cor
nisiman, named John Oates, put out his
foot against the side of the shaft while the
bucket was rapidly descending. \ mo-
ment later. his companions were horror
stricken to find that he had suddenly dis
appeared i'll the darkness. When thew
reached the bottom they looked around for
the mangled reu.ains, but no trace of him
was to be found. This was mysterious.
They could not believe their senses. A
feeling Of intense superstition came upon
them. There seemed to be 10 possible
solution of the strange disappearance, be-
cause the sides of the shaft are perpeudicu-
lar, or nearly so. On the return of the
skip to the surface the missing man was
found, hanging head downward, his foot
firmly caught iii the crotop of one of the
timbers. His heel was seized as with a
giants grasp and there, the poor fellow
hung by one leg, with nothing but space
and darkness intervening between him and
the bottom, five hundred feet below. He
was unhurt. This is what may be proper
~ called Il miraculous escape.

PERFECT FITTING.
PATENT CHROMOTYPE
Photogra
Something New and of Real Merit.

Mankind are interested in few things more than
in the procuring of portrait hkenesses of them
selves and friends. The Photograph of departed
parent, child brother sister, is priced than
any other possession. Therefore, of the first i'm.
pOrtance, is the undOubted pernGndnce of the shad
Owy image.
Vast amounts of money and many years of
study and experiment have been expended in search
of MATERIAL and METHOD to produce pictures
that shall be unJading and permanent. 1t is well
known fact that the ordinary Photograph is al
ways suspected and doubted in this most important
quality, and to make them the expense of finish
ing the photograph in India Ink or cOlors But
now after years of tedious and careful study and
experiments a new MATERIAL and METHOD
has been invented and perfected by which Photo
MENTS, land patented in England, France, Ger
many, Austria, and other foreign countries also in
the United States,) whereby the Photograph is
made as positively permanent engravings, being
made of the same MATERIAL, and is now offered
to the numerous patrons of the beautiful Art of

lery in St JOhnsbury.
have procured at very great expense, the ex-
elusive right to use these Patents in St. JOhnsbury
and the county of Caledonia known as the LAM
BERTYPE PROCESSES in CARBON.
These pictures have been pronounced in the va
the most beautiful and desirable, well permd-
nent and they Onlg need to be to be admired and
are worthy of all that is claimed for them.
1 invite all those who have a taste for Photo
graphic pictures to call at my Gallery and examine
specimens, when shall be happy to more fully
explain the nature and merits of this new candi-
date for public favor.

An Elopement and Its Consequences

The Rutland Herald says that on
Tuesday, 18th, two men presented
themselves at the town clerks office and
attempted to procure license for the
marriage of Lee Gilman of Rutland, to
Minnie Smith, daughter of Willard
Smith, wealthy Shrewsbury far
mer. They were unsuccessful, how
ever, Miss Smiths tender age, (she is
only l4) making it necessary that the
consent of her parents should first be
obtained. Next day Gilman visited the
town clerk again, and presented a let
ter purporting to be the written consent
of Minnie's mother, obtained the license.
He then drove to Shrewsbury, and in
tercepting his beloved, on her way
home from school, brought heI to Rut-
land, and they were married by Rev.
Walter Mitchell, rector of Trinity
Church. Before night Mr.. Smith, hear
ing what had been going on, came to
Rutland, swore out a writ of habeas
corpus and sent Deputy Sheriff Stearns
in search of the pair. They were found
concealed in the cellar of the old SlOcum
building, on West street, and were
brought before Judge Ross, the hearing
taking place in Col. Veazey's office, he
appearing for the plaintiff and L. w.
RedingtOn for the defense The latter
asked for continuance of the case till
Monday and it was granted, Mrs. Gil
man being consigned to the care of Mr..
Stearns. The last seen of the couple
they were walking up Center street arm
in arm, and the officer near by. II
seems sad to break in upon their dream
of bliss thus, but Gilman is % years old
and should have known better than to
try to procure mother-in-law by for
gerry. He is small III stature, while his
wife, who seems wholly infatuated witt
him, is tall and slim.

Rutland, and Mr.. Needham and associ-
ate to st. Adams. Mr.. Moody does not
wish to be cut short of one month, but
perhaps wos1ld not stay in these places
more than fortnight, in which case
three or more other portions would be
visited. 1t is quite likely that some
other associates may be obtained, in
which case we hope one point at least

The Beauties of Arbitration and Law.
In the spring of 1874, Mary L. Knapp,
administrative of Ward Knapp's estate,
late of Lyndon, commenced suit in
eiectment against Francis Fisher, to
recover piece of land fenced in Fishers
premises, but claimed to belong to the
Knapp estate. At the same time she
commenced a chancery suit to enjoin
Fisher from cutting any wood from the
land. Fisher cited in VIM. X. LOcklin,
who had warranted the land to him,
to defend the case. Both cases were
entered in county court at the June
term, continued to the December term.
when preparation was made to try the
eiectment suit. The witnesses were all
summoned, and the expense nearly all
made, when the parties decided it would
be cheaper to refer the case. Ac-
cordingly it was referred to Calvin
Morrill, and Sullivan Ranney, and con-
tinued, the witnesses all being sent
home again.
In the winter of 1875, the trial came
on before the referees at Lyndon, and
all the witnesses and parties and
referees, and four lawyers -Cahoon and
Dickey for the plaintiff, and Ide and
Willard for the acknowledgement two
DAYS and nights over the case. The
defendant claimed that the line where
his fence was had been established and
agreed upon for 40 years. The referees
so found. At the June term of 1873,
the plaintiff revoked the reference, and
made IA motion for new trial. The
case was continued. At the December
term testimony was taken on the mo-
ton for new trial, and hearing had.
The motion was over-ruled, the referees
report accepted, judgment rendered for
the defendant to recover his costs, and
I the plaintiff took exceptions, thus carry
ing the case to the supreme court. In
the summer of 1876 the plaintiff brought
a petition for new trial to the supreme
court. Testimony was taken on both
sides. and at the August term, 1876,
both cases-the petition for new trial
and the exceptions,-were tried. The
court did not then decide the case
Last week the decision came, dismiss,
ing the petition and rendering fna
Judgment for the defendant. The chan
Gerry suit can not be ended till mex
term.
The value of the property in question
in this suit was variously estimated a
, from $50 to $500. The expense to boil
sides of finding out whether fenc
should be moved from where it hat
| stood 40 years, is nearly if not quit

Crab apples are raised about there in

took down his gun and went out to
shoot wOodchucks. His family hearing
the report of his gun, and seeing moth
ing of him, became anxious and went
in search of him. They found him lying
dead by stone wall, with his head
and face shockingly mangled. 1t would
seem that, in stepping over the wall,
his gun caught on Il stone and was dis
charged, the shot taking effect in his
head, killing him instantly. Mr.. G. was
a highly respected citizen, and his loss
will be deeply felt in his community.

Police Court.


At the court Friday, John Andrews
of Lowell, Mass, (who was visiting
friends in McIndoe's,) Arthur D. Jack
man of Topsham, and Richard Wilkin-
son of st. Johnsbury, were each fined
for intOXicatiOn IS and costs, amount
ing to Sl6.42 apiece. Wilkinson was
also fined $40 and costs for assault on
Sheriff Preston, swelling his bill to
$3064. He paid his fines, the other
two were returned to Jail. All three of
these men were ut the Memphremagog
clam bake, and were arrested by the
sheriff on the train on their return trip,
and put in jail in this place. After his
arrest, Wilkinson assaulted Sheriff Pres
ton in Il violent manner, and would not
behave even after the handouts were
abusive that his handouts were locked
to a rod in the top of the baggage car,
and he rode the remainder of the way
to st. Johnsbury in that position. We
seem to have a sheriff who knows his
duty and intends to do it, despite the
threats of towards and the kicks and
blows of Ioughs. I'll three of these
men disclosed that they procured
their liquor at Owls Head hOtel-which
is in Canada but it is understood that
the liquor was carried there on the boat
by parties from Newport.
