AFTER III THE COUNCIL.

Mr. David Gray, editor Of the Buffalo Courier;
has an article on "Thc Last Indian Council on
the Genesee, in ScriOnes' for July, closing with
the following poem:
The fire sinks low, the drifting smoke
Dies softly in the autumn haze,
And silent are the tongues that spoke
The speech of other days.
Gone, too the dusky ghosts whose feet.
But now yon listening thicket stirred;
Unscarred within its covert meet
The squirrel and the bird.
The story of the past Is told,
But thou, 0 Valley, sweet und lone!
Glen of the rainbow! thou shalt hold
It's romance for thine own.
Thoughts of thine ancient forest prime
Shall sometimes haunt thine summer dreams
And shape to low, poetic rhyme,
The music OF its streams.
When Indian summer filings its cloak
OF brooding azure on the woods,
The pathos Of vanished folk
Shall tinge thy solitudes.
The blue smoke Of their fires once more
Far over the hills shall seem to rise,
And sunsets golden clouds restore
The red mans paradise.
Strange sounds of a forgotten tongue
shall cling to many crag and cave,
In wash of falling waters sung,
Or murmur Of the wave.
And oft in milmost hush of night,
Shrill DER the deep cataract's roar,
Shall ring the war-cry from the height
That woke the wilds of yore.
Sweet vale, more peaceful bend thy skies,
Thy airs are frought with rarcr balm;
A peoples busy tumult lies
flushed in thy sylvan calm.
O sweet thy peace! while fancy frames
Sweet idols of thy jewellers He'd
They loved thee, called thee gentle names,
III the long summers dead.
Qucnened Is the fire, the drifting smoke
Has vanished in the autumn haze;
Gone, too O Vale, the simple folk
Who loved thee in old days.
But, for their sakes-their llyes serene
Their loves, perchance rs sweet as ours
o, be thy woods for aye more green,
And fNircr bloom thy flowers.

This afternoon l witnessed with many others
the most disgracsful sight that has fallen TO
my lot in Michigan, which was nothing more or
less than load OF beer offered for sale, and
sold, to the crowd that witnessed the game of
base ball at this place, between the Kalamazoo
and Lawton boys. What, is low whisky
vender to be allowed to deal out bis internal
congomeration at will in the free and open air
Of Lawton Is it not enough that he be licensed
to open his den of infamy in town and entice
therein the fathers and brothers CT our homes
to partake OF his soul-destroylng and debasing
beverages And Is Inc not satisfied with this ?
Nay, not any but his impatience and greed for
iil-gotten gains are shown, and his debased
manhood is made manifest, by his daring to
open his nefarious business in the midst OF a
gathering OF people in quest Of innocent pleas
ure outside of village limits and against the
earnest protestation OF both ladies and gentle
men present. His sense Of foar, or something
else. started him denward ere the game was
finished. but not until the fumes Of his lager
met one from every direction, and several BIZ
peds (who would be very much offended il they
were called other than gentlemen) could be
seen staggering around in their insane delight.
Citizens ofsLawton, will you suffer this? Will
you sit with folded hands, and with all complai-
sance calmly witness such an outrage upon
society," Ye sworn enemies OF Bacchus, can
you do nothing to drive the moth from your

The case OF Matteson W. Morris has reached
another point In Its course. On the Gath and
25th OF July the case or ,ssss now pending be-
tween them aud growing out OF the forgery OF
mortgages, was argued before Judge Coolidge
at Niles the lawyers preferring TO accept the
hospitality OF the Judge and do their work At
Niles in his spacious library, where he gave to
,hem and the cases all proper and patient
attention.
These cases are attempts to foreclose the
mortgages dated Feb. IA and FEB. % by Matte
son. The suits are brought in the name OF
James Matteson, and the bills set mp the max
ing and delivering the notes and mortgages and
their transfer for value to James Matteson, and
then alleges that Morris pretends they are each
and all forgeries but in truth they are not for
geries and Morris did sign and execute them at
Decatur on the days specified, and then inter
rogates the defendant calling for his answer on
oath whether he did not sign, deliver and exc
cute the papers, but not question about con-
sideration is put to him. Morris answers that
it is true that he pretends they are forgeries-
in short, they each and all are forgeries. and IL
the signature is genuine it was obtained by
some fraud or decsit upon him perpetrated in
some manner now unknown to him.
Besides the notes. mortgages and assign-
ments, the complainant put little testimony in
the case. That little was to prove by one witt
ness that Morris was in Decatur Feb. % also
there Feb. IA, '73; and the testimony OF three
experts living in Chicago that the forged sigma
lures were just like some Morris showed to
them.
The defendant put the sworn answer and a
lot OF testimony that Morris had no use for the
money alleged to have been let him, was not
at that time using any considerable amount,
and that when informed that those mortgages
we're recorded went directly to work to re-
move them. Also put in proof that Matteson
had been proven the holder OF other fraudulent
notes which. when disputed, were compromised
or destroyed. Also large number OF witnesses
that the signatures were not his by persons who
had zen him write. He also had these sigma
lures enlarged by photograph, showing marked
depa rtures from his natural way of writing.
The cases were argued by Mr.. Foster for
comp lainant and Mr.. G. w. Lawton for defend
ant Messrs Beebe, Bacon and Orvlle Cool
idge were in the case. Judge Coolidge has the
cases now under advisement.
