Wlped Them Out,

Information has been received at Lewis.
ton, Idaho, by messenger from the Lower
Weiser, that settlers in that locality some
three weeks previously had organized to
pursue into the Salmon river mountains the
band of Indians who, after being dispersed
by Gen. Howard last summer had raided
that country, drove off stock and killed
Munday and two others who pursued them,
killed Dan Crooks and his companion,
while sleeping in their camp, and made
their escape into the mountains between
Payette and the south fork OF the Salmon
river. These Indians were reported to be
returning towards Payette when the settlers
organized to intercept them. They pro.
ceeded across to Payette and soon found
signs OF Indians. They quietly recon.
noitered and made the discovery of their
camp. Waiting favorable opportunity,
when all were in camp and not in the least
expecting the near presence of white men,
they suddenly surprised and attacked them
and killed twenty six of their number,
nearly annihilating tho whole camp
Only two or three are known to have escaped
death.

Rum and Caunlbalism.

The Rev. DR.. Tucker declares that the
natives of Africa prefer rum to canni-
balism. This startling fact does not
show that their taste for missionaries, or
perhaps We had better say their appetlte
for them, has decreased, but it does snow
an alarming falling of in the ayUl!d !
vesrs mo the foreign missionary society
used to send to Africa gentlemen who
their portIy proportions that they were
world. That kind of man was always
warmly welcomed by these canpibals;
indeed, the demand was greater than tho
supply. A blazing fire, feast, and tho
missionary was gone. In these latter
days, however, it has SO happened that
the society has chosen for it WORK gen.
tlemen who we're too thin and lean to
satisfy the gastronomic tastes OF the can
nibals, and like many more sensible men
they have taken to rum instead Neso

Mysterious MURDER.

Some weeks ago evidences OF severe
struggle, fragments of clothing, ETC., were
found on the river bank near Little Rock,
Arkansas. The mystery was not unraveled
until the oath instant, when the mutilated
remains of ST. Thompson. of Coldwater,
Miss, were 6shed out of the creek. He
was murdered for money.
A special to the Avalanchc from Iuka,
Miss, gives the following account of 'dou.
BILE murder perpetrated near that city on
the 25th: Major A. N. Hutchins, accompa.
MED by Thomas McNatt, both highly re-.
spected citizens of the county, left 1uka
together in the afternoon to go home, being
neighbors. Hutcains had drawn $l,700 in
gold from the express Office, sent from u
Cincinnati house, which was to be used in
purchasing q farm. Late in the evening.
McNatt's horse returning riderless with
blood marks on the saddle, aroused sus.
picions in his family of foul play. Search
revealed the dead body of AcNatt, terribly
mutilated, about two miles from his house.
A hundred yards further on Hutchins was
found in like condition. 1t is thought
some parties knew of the gold being at the
express Office, had waylaid and murdered
both for the money.

Remains of an Unknown Race.

A correspondent of the Randolph,
n. Y, Register has long and very
interesting article in its last issue
on the local evidences of pre-
historic race in this region. He
says that near the mount of Cattaraugus
creek are to be found a series of works
which extend to the Conewango valley.
Near Dayton is sepulchral mound l20
feet in circumference and ten feet high.
In the town of Leon and Conewango are
several of these mounds; one that was
opened contained eight skeletons in
sitting posture. Forty years ago SINH
lar mound existed and was opened in the
village of Randolph, three skeletons and
a block of mica being found. Mica has
nearly always been found in these tombs.
and must have had some unknown sig
nifcance. A tree three feet in diameter
grew on the crown of this mound, its
roots interlacing with and disturbing
the bones of the dead. Near the railroad
depot is deposit of earth in the form of
a serpent. 1t is twenty-five rods long
and still perfect. The tail terminates at
q spring. A man blowing close to the
head unearthed 100 flint arrow heads.
The roots of tree were found there and
subsequent excavations discovered sew.
eral pieces of mica and some stone axes.
All around Randolph are remains of
numerous Notifications, mounds, granar-
les, hearths &c. Most of these embank-
ments are of circular form, from one to
three hundred feet in diameter, aud sur
rounded by ditch. Inside are the
granary pits, in some of which charred
corn has been found, showing the nature
of the provisions used by the people who
garrisoned the place. From the number
of these pits they were evidently pro-
visioned for long siege. Over all these
silent relics of nation gone and forgot
ten, forest has since grown and de-
cayed, leaving only roots and stumps
and logs to tell only of their existence.
