'.M q municipal election on Thursday
,a,.a Ia ..Boston." Capt. Willoughby,
Dho AGENT, is encouraging them toward
eo,trelianee and self-government. Some
fine ago he called a meeting at which he
,n,ormed the InGians of \ number of pro-
nosed improvements to be made upon tle
roservation, in the buildings, roads, fences
&c. and asked tor their cooperation; al
,he same time he explained to them tht
necessity of having an organized system
If government among themselves, pro
posing that they elect four chiefs for eaci
,iIhce, and that the duties OF these chief:
sbould be similar to those of a city coun
,il or board of town trustees. After du,
t.,;beration and many ear:rst wa-wa'
mon the subject, they assented to the pro
posed step, and an election WAS accord
ingly called. One board of chiefs were
elected. and they are now duly installed
In addition to their duties as conncilmcn
they are constituted court OF inquiry
and adjudication in all petty grievance
among the Indians in their jurisdiction

thus elected was chosen by the board IA
It's presiding officer, or head chief; and
there being Itldian boys on the reservation

On the evening after the election th'
newly constituted board had occasion~ t
hold business meeting to settle som,
trivial disputes among their red brethren
and, upon an appeal being taken to asen
Willoughby, the action OF the lower cour
was sustained. Thus we have speed,

this move. Looking at it from all sides
the change may be justly regarded as I

EDITOR ARGUS: - last Wednesday
evening, about o'clock, during heavy
snow fall, there sprung up regular ''sou-
easter" A siwash, known as "Seaheck
Sam" was returning from II duck hunt
when the squall caught him, capsizing his
canoe and throwing him and all of his
"ictas" into the rough waters; the last
named were all lost, whilst the Indian
struck out to swim, hoping to save him
self and calling out Justify for help. His
wells attracted the attention of parties
near by who. judging by the outcry that
some one was in distress, soon found a
boat and succeeded in rescuing the unfor-
tunate fellow. On being asked the next
morning what he Sam thought of the
adventure. he simply replied, AS a faint
smile Illuminated his swarthy features,

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.--On the 23rd inst.

troved 10y fire. together with all their con-
tents. His work oxen. a COW and calf,

Of tile loss in value but presume it was
not far from thousand dollars. Mr.
Webster is Al Old gentleman, a widower,
and had lived alone Tor yea'', upon the

on the day of the fire, and did not return
until his home, the aCcumuatiOns of years
