OF Central New YORK are al forestsiiie,
Wis, on O Government reservation. The
United States agent in charge of this
reservation reports that nearly 900 OF
these 5000 can read and write; that they
have 80 day and 2 manual labor schools;
and that they cultivate their land so dill
gently that they pay all the expenses OF
their living. They are reported as ad-
vancing in church discipline. growing in
temperance and making rapid progress
towards q complete civilization. They
are not tho old Iroquois in spirit or
courage or adventure; but they may
yet play part in civilization quite as
worthy of their lineage as that of the
warriors who burned and ravaged up and
down the Mohawk valley during the
revolution. One popular delusion re-
specting them-that they are rapidly
dying out-has been quite thoroughly
eradicated from the public mind. Tito
those of the Six Nations who are on this
Reservation we add the Canadian de-
scendants of the famous confederacy, we
have a number nearly if not quite as
tho total census of the Iroquois at the
time when they were the masters and
conquerors of the continent.
