stood at Canadea and in which in days

it was threatened with destruction, had
it removed to his estate for preserva-

for the last council held in the Genesee
valley. 1t was on this occasion that
they gave Mr. Letchworth his name as
an adopted son of their tribe, Hai-wa-
ye-is-tah, '.the man who always does

Mr.. Letchworth has long been known

Mrs. Gould was Miss Helen Kelly of

The Eccentric Missouri Rixar.

The eccentric and variable Missouri
river has "a personal friend" in George
Fitch, who declares in the American
Magazine that the stream is navigable
enough il only the steamboats, would
conform to it's peculiarities. Mr.. Fitch's
humor Is refreshing.
"The Missouri steamboat" says Mr..
Fitch, SHOULD be shallow, 1.-THE, deep
chested. and exceedingly strong in the
stern wheel
ut should be hinged in the middle
and should be fitted with suction
dredge, SO that when it cannot climb
over a sandbar it can assimilate it.
The Missouri river steamboat should
be able to make use Of channel, but
should not have to depend upon 1t.
"a steamer that cannot on occasion
climb steep clay bank, go across
cornf1eld and corner a river that is
trying to get away has little excuse
for trying to navigate the Missouri"
