AN INDIAN FUNERAL GRAFTON.

PERRY, o. T., Feb. 10.-[Special. IA
curious and interesting incident trans
plred in this city yesterday, illustrative of
the fond affection of Poor Lo for his faith
full dog companion. \ somewhat wrinkled-
faced and notwithstanding Indian.
shrouded in an ample blanket, attracted
considerable attention at the corner of
Sixth and K streets, by carrying in his
arms small cohin. He bore it with him
while about the city for TWO or three
hours during the afternoon. To those
who We're acquainted with him he i'm
parted the information that il contained
the remains of his dog Shonko. The
spectacle occasioned no small amount of
comment among passers-by. and il became
known Mt length that Ne Shutse, Tor that
WAS the mourners name, had come to the
ely to procure the burial furniture which
he bore and TO celebrate the death of his
canine companion. About g O'Clock in the
evening, and just as the sun was sinking

himself To the banks of Cow creek, there to
pronounce his funeral Grafton, aud TO con-
sIgu his precious burden TO mother earth.

come since first we met each other. Many
hunts and forays we have had together;
many times you have gladdened me when
l have returned to meet you; many hours
alone we have spent in the JOY OF an earn
est friendship. Yesterday you were with
me; today you are gone; and nothing but
the visible part of your once animate
self is left to me- Where are you?
TT cannot be that we shall never meet
again. have within me the assurance
that in the happy hunting ground which
the Great Spirit has provided for His
people. we shall meet again. You were too
good. too fond, and too Intelligent to be
lost to creation by the untimely death of
this, your visible body. You were to me n
self My every days experience was asso-
ciated with yours. and by so much as your
Intelligence is comparable to mine, by so
mach you are entitled with me to share
again my associations. l shall live again.
and you shall live with me. Therefore
leave you now, content, being assured that
though your body molder in the dust, and
day you shall live. and it shall be given me
to enjoy your sweet cempaIionship.
Not many seasons shall elapse before l,
too, shall leave these paths which we have
trod together; shall forsake this transitory
life; shall be forgotten to my tribe; shall
be forgiven of my sins, aud shall be Called
by the Great Spirit to pleasant scenes-to
eternal joy, and to the seclusion which
knows not the invasion and the deceit of
the pale face. There we shall be again to-
gether. Until then, farewell"
These simple thoughts were delivered by
