Indians in Massachusdts. It appears
!y ;i couple of paragraphs in the Boston
Advocate, that our philanthropic neigh
bors in the Bay Stale, are having trouble
with the Indians -about Cape Coil. Bv a
statute of Massachusetts, tlie Indians" in
that State are placed under guardianship,
and we are informed that it is no uncom
mon occurrence for the overseers to bind
the young Indians to serve on board the
whalemen, and to send them to the Paci
fic, awny from their homes for years at a
time. It appears from the articles co
pied that the "overseers" claim the wood
growing on the Indians1 lands, and that
the forcibly taking it away is the cause
of the present trouble. Wo think it
would be well for the pious people of
Massachusetts to treat their own Indians
like human beings, before they make any
more complaints against the government
of Georgia.
A friend, who resides near "the sent of
war" between the Mashpeeiau Indians
and the overseers of the plantation, writes
that the Rev. Mr. Apis, (who is the lead
er of the Nullifiors in Marshpcc) is going
about the plantation in full command of
all its disposable force and treasure, ord
ering every white man he meats, to quit
the territory of his new Republic, and not
to touch a stick of wood, under penalty
of being dealt with according to his Pro
elamation. Two days after the unload
ing of Mr. Sampson's carts, by Apes and
his followers, a requisition was made of
about thirty of the most able men of the
military forces of Cape Cod, among whom
is our informant, who were to appear on
the 3d, upon the plantation armed and
equipped as the law directs, for the pur
pose of backing a civil warrant to appro
hend the Rev. Mr. Apes and six of his
priucipul counsellors and abettors, and
lodge them in Barnstable jail; but for
some cause unknown to our informant,
the commencement of open hostilities was
postponed for a day or two.
Scattered remnants of the aborigines
Ptill linger in various parts af the Slate,
but chiefly in the South eastern quarter,
about Buzzard's Bay, and on the Island
of Martha's Vineyard. Their united
numbers are about 750. They are all
under the guardianship of the State gov
ernment, and are not allowed to alien
ate their lands but by consent of the over
seers appointed by the State to look after
their interests. The Society for the
propagation of the gospel among the In
dians, furnishes them with ministers and
teachers. At Marshpee and Martha's
Vineyard are settlements containing 660
nohIs who own 18,400 acres of land in
Common. They are all except 50 or 60,
of mixed blood, mostly by intermarriage
vviih blacks. Some of them have gar
dens and cultivated fields, but their chief
sources of income are the wood on their
hinds, the pipe clav of the Island and pas
turing ih0 cuttle of the whites. Many of
the voting men an; employed in the whale
ind other fisheries, and are skilful and
industrious. They have forgotten their
ancient names and nearly all the Indian
language; most of the children read and
write.

the affidav its made before the Magistrate
that the prisoner had been a regular at

she was observed to get up from her
knees during the time of mass, and take
a small basket belonging to another wo.
man which she took off. This led to her
detection, for she was shortly after found
pledging it in a liquor store for rum, and
it was then ascertained she had disposed
of the Bibles and prayer books in the
same way. She was recognized by the
police officer as a former resident of the.
Penitentiary, and was committed to
Bridewell to await her trial at the next

letter writer for the Portland Advertiser,
lately paid his visit to Ex-President Ma
dison, at his plantation, and was highly
delighted with the rich fields of grain, the
comfort of the negroes, and the vigorous
mind of the old gentleman himself, who.
though "stretched upon his bed," yet
"nourished his mind with his books.'
But one treasure enjoyed by the venera
ble Ex-President, outvalued all his other
possessions. This treasure is the affec
tionate, admirable, accomplished wife of
his younger days, now descending the
vale oflife with him, and making his de
clivity appear the more gentle, by the
thousand nameless, but endearing atten
tions which such a wife can bestow. Mr.
Brooks thus closes his letter:
"I have, said Mr. Madison, as yet oth
er aids for the enjoyment of a happy old
ae. than Cicero speaks of. Added to
his own resources, his own house and
plantation, he has for his companion, his
wife a lady who even now sustains her
reputation, that of being one of the most
accomplished women in America Willi
such a companion he ever has society,
interest and conversation by his own bed
side. The picture of domestic enjoy
ment they now exhibit, is one'of the most
attractive I over witnessed. How sweet
must even old age be when thus softened
and watched over! How glorious and
good the life of a man after such service
endiu" thus with such a companion to
administer to his wants and comjorli
The" fame Mr. Madison has won, the glo
ry he bequeaths and the bright pages,
which his name is to occupy in his coun
try's story, are, after all, not of so much
worth to him, as the possession of such a
wife."
tt?A young man of much respectabil
ity, left ihe Arch street Theatre last eve

band which was annroachinir. While
i r- -
standing outside he was insulted by some
person, whom he struck. He, in return,
received a blow on the head, which pro
duced a delirum. He was immediately
taken home, and expired this morning.
He was a native of Mississippi, and was
studying medicine under Doctor Sansont

07 A friend has politely favored us
with the following interesting paragraph.
People who are not in the habit of loo
king into slatisticks are not aware of the
vast disproportion in the density of the
population between the different sections
of the United States. New England is
far more densely settled than any other
section of the country. In fact the pop
ulation of Massachusetts which in this re
spect far exceeds that of the other New
England States, presents a greater num
ber to the square mile than many of the
countries in Europe, even including some
of those which have for centuries been
considered populous Kingdoms. Spain,
for instance, has an average of but sixty
three individuals to the square mile;
Scotland but seventy one; Denmark but
seventy six; while Massachusetts has se
venty eight. We subjoin a list of the se
veral States of the Union, with the num
ber of inhabitants to the square mile in
each respectively, viz:
Massachusetts has 3 to the square
mile; Connecticut 63; Rhode Island 62;
New York 44; New Jersey So; Delaware
33; Maryland 32; Pennsylvania 29; New
lampshire 23; Ohio 2a; South Carolina

his appearance again in the papers. This
time however, like Falstaff's, "men in
buckram." they come by the dozen, and
n fitnnm boat has been employed in the
agreeable business of chasing a shoal of
them, while they, very much pleased with
the amusement, danced various riga

is, to establish harmony, avoid sparring,

well, but might be accomplished without
conventions, if they would follow the ad
vice their poor old grandmothers used to
nvc them when they were boys. 1&
aware of the injury he had sustained, ho
continued at work, till perceiving the
blood running very freely, he pulled off
his boot, and was alarmed nt finding it
drenched with blood. He immediately
started for home, the blood fiom his leg
continuing to increase, and afier his arri
val proceeded to try various remedies for
stopping it without effect. After trying
almost every remedy without success, and
despairing of stopping the blood, with the
loss of which his strength was fast wast
ing, soot was applied, and to the surprise
of every one, the bleeding was stopped
almost instantly. And what is still tnoro
singular, the pain which was very severe
almost as soon abated, and he is now in
a fair way to recover. Delcuare Gaz.
Female Clothing. The death of an
interesting young lady is announced in
the Virginia paper, caused by her clothes
taking fire, in consequence of which she
was so badly burnt as to survive but a
short time. The materials of clothing
for females and children are now almost
entirely of cotton. Shrouded from head
to foot in combustibles, every sudden turn
in the neighborhood of a fire or candle
exposes them to as much hazard as the
. . i . i .
moth fluttering round me evening taper.
Overreaching.- The Boston Trans
cript states that a butcher standing by
ins cart, saw a man stoop and, pick m
something, which on examination proved
to be a 10 bill. The butcher claimed
it as his; but the finder urged his claim
tor half, as but for him the butrher
would have lost it. As the bill did not ia
fact belong to the butcher, he with a good
grace gave the fellow a $5 bill; but soon
after in offering the 10 bill it was found
to be counterfeit.
Diamond cut Diamond. A six foot
Vormonter lately entered a store on one
of our principal wharves in search of m
ployment. He could do any kind of
chore, he said, and boasted much of his
strength. 'Stout as you are,' said the
clerk, Til bet 810 you cannot carry that
bag of salt (pointing to a very large one,)
twice across this store and back againv
and never lay it down. The Yankee
stood for a moment scratching his head
and gazing at a rope with a hook at its?
end which dangled through a scuttle,
and then accepted the wager. He shoul
dered the bag with the inmost case car
ried it twice backward and forward and
then hung it upon the hook aforesaid.
'Mister,' said, 1 guess I'll trouble you for
that are ten. 1 didn't lay it down I..
hung it up.' The clerk, mtich to his dis
satisfaction, handed over ihe money, and
the Vertnonter left the store saying, 'catch,
a weasel asleep! No bad day's work.
Better than chopping logs!' Bos. GaL.
Foreign Letters. Persons in this inte
rior of this country, in writing to any
part of Europe, have only to direct their
letters to the place of their ultimate des
tination, via New York, and pay the pos
tage to that city. The Post Office De
partment here will then forward them by
the proper packet. The expense of en
closing to a correspondent here is quite
useless, as nothing better can be done by
such a correspondent than to deposite
the letters in the 1 ost Oilice. Journal
of Commerce.
OCTThc excitement against the Rev.
Mr. Avery appears to be unabated in
Rhode Island. The Providence Gazette
stales that, in Fall River, on the 4th inst,
Mr. A. was hanged, burned, and shot in
effigy, and in Portsmouth he was hanged
in effigy and given to the dogs.
C?Clough, the murderer of Mrs. Ham-

a reward of one hundred dollars for his
apprehension.
(7The efficiency of soot in slopping
blood proceeding from a fresh wound,
was lately tested, and proved beyond a
doubt, in the case of Nathan Cornish,
near Newark, New Castle county, who,
while making a fence, by a mis-stroke of
the axe, cut his leg badly to the bone,
which bled profusely. Not being at first
Cotton Seed Oil. A correspondent
of the N. York Courier gives the follow
ing account of this oil: "It is as limpid
as water. 1 have seen it burn, and no
one can discover a difference between it
and the best hard winter strained oil; for
machinery it cannot but be superior to the
Olive oil, being perfectly free from gluti
nous particles: as a paint oil it has pro
perties beyond the common Linseed: tha
oil cake is more nutritious for cattle than
Linseed oil cake; and the sediment
makes the best printing ink."
