on the farm Of Mr.. Francis Wager. The
Dover chap had invited two of his
friends to accompany him and to be
ready to help him obtain satisfaction If
he needed any help. The Clevelander
was accompanied by one friend, and be-
fore the fight began he said that he ex-
pected to receive fair play in this affair;
that his opponent was larger and heav-
Ter than him, and that he did not think
it would be necessary for any one to in
terfere; but to prevent any thing of
this kind occurring he would request
his friend to take his revolver and sit
on the fence and see that matters went
off smoothly. They then went at each

pounded each other pretty well but at
the end of that time the young man
from Dover declared that he was en-

House to. pay her respects to him.
Miss Cozzens is a lady who has studied

being decidedly attractive in personal
appearance. In the course of her CON

ferred TO Gen. Grants having talked of
appointing her Chief Justice, and said
that, had he done SO, it would have been
her duty to have administered the oath
of Office to him on Monday. President
Hayes replied to her, "My dear Miss
Cozzens, in that case / should have
kissed something beside the book"

The Indian Question.

NEW YORK, December 1S-The Fri bune's Washington special says: The President, in conversation today, said that the TTOgress of the population and occupation of the Territories is so ra- pId that It Is necessary to adopt diff ferent Indian policy. So far as geo. graphical location of tribes is concern ed. he thought that useful occupation of the public domaln, for the purposes of agriculture, is more important than that they should be kept as hunting grounds for the savages. He said that it is better for the Indians, and certain ly more economical for the Govern ment, to gather all the Indian nations and tribes as rapidly as possible with- in the limits of one designated territo- ry, where they may be protected from the encroachments of the whites, and be more effectually prevented from further wars and devastation upon set dement's.
