Indians.

An illustration Of the facility with
"!i:c!i t!e Indians are dcfrauded and
the Government is made responsible
for their loses, is found in the case of
some of the Pottawatamics, lately in
Washington. Under the pretcnce
that certain members Of the tribe,
who were fugitivcs in Mexico, we're
dead, spectators represented them
selves rs their administrators, and
secured their lands and shares of
trust funds, amounting to $4,000 al
together. A small moicty of this
was recovered, but the Government
must make good the remainder, the
veri'able and living Indians having
returned to claim it. Another spec
nlator takes several of the claimants
in charge, and, appearing in Wash
ington, makes application for their
dividends.

walking ont in the garden she was
taken with violent hemmorrhage
and in less than fifteen minutes the
spirit of this lovely young lady had
taken it's flight to the land beyond

something more than co,Dmon sorrow.
