speeches.
The Indians listened with close attention,

fifteen beeves would be issued and during
the conversation which followed with
reference TO the details, the Indians were
thoroughly Interested and finally all the
chiefs sho k hands with evident good
humor. The next council will be held Mon

is believed that for some weeks they have
been talking the matter over, and it is said
that they have bound themselves not to &C

OF more than average ability, industrious
