Pickin tele- eraphed the Secretary of the Interior vat the indans were burning timber, and state! that ifthey were not immediately stopped. by the government the citizens of Colorado would an- dertake to stop them. Secretary Schurz imme- Gin‘ely directed Agent Meeker to call in the Indlats engaged Ip this work, and, if sary, tosecure military assistance. ‘The idea of the Indtans in burning the timber, it ts said, was to concentrate game, in order that it might be killed with less difficulty. Agent Meeker, however, succeeeded only temporarily in stop- ping the destruction of woodland, and subse- quently, in the same month, a party of Utes de- stroyed in the vicinity of Middle Park, together with a track of timber, some property belonging to one J.B. Thompson. For the purpose of ar- resting the Indians en, in the destruction of Thompson's property Gov. Pitkin dispatched the sheriff with a posse, to the White River agency. Chief Douglass, of the White River Uies, protested against’ them entering the agency, which was reported to the Indian bu- reau. Agent Meeker was then instructed to cause the arrest, of the guilty parties, and in attempting to carry out this order he incurred the ill-will of the Indians, and it fs thought at the Indian office that the recent outbreak was cuused by the declared intention of the govern- ment to arrest the Indians engaged in the firing of the Thompson property. SIX HUNDRED TROOPS EN ROUTE TO THE SEAT OF Dispatches from Rawlins, W. T., last night, say s:—Two companies of cavalry ‘arrived trom i.e east during the night and left the fort this morning. Six companies of the seventh infan- try, from the department of Dakota, will ar- rive here some time to-morrow morning and preceed to the front. Lieut. Bourke, of Gen. Crcok’s staff, arrived at 12 o’clock last night, and at 2o’clock this morning left by private conveyance for the front. It is sald that he was the bearer of important advices to Gen. Mer- ritt, Gen. Crook will arrive here to-morrow, and will go forward and assume command of the expedition, and will personally direct the movements of the troops. The awful silence at the front indicates that the worst may be ex- pected, and grave fears are entertained for the safety of Captain Payne and his command. ‘Troops and su) pee are being sent to the front wit remarkete dispatch, Capt. Gilliss, quar- termaster, giving the matter his personal atten- tihn. Gen. Merritt's command probably reached the camp of Lleut. Price, on Fortification creek, this evening, and is expected to arrive at the battle-fleld Sunday afternoon. The opinion of thore best aca! ted with the hostile Utes is that they are now many miles from the scene of ‘Tbornburgh’s engagement, and that the troops will be obliged to follow them far into the mountains, if they succeed in finding them at all. Should this prove correct Gen. Crook will, in all probability, follow the trail of the Ute familes south from the opening toward Blue river, and by this movement may succeed in drawing the Utes into the open country. From the manner in which troops and supplies are being sent forward Gen. Crook evidently fn- tends to prosecute the campaign to the bitter end. The total number of troops now sent for- ward Is ebout 600, ‘Two more compantes of cav- alry will arrive Monday—one from Fort Fetter- man and one from Robinson.” VIEWS OF SECRETARY SCHURZ. Secretary Schurz arrived in St. Louis yester- day morning. When asked by a reporter what he thought of the outbreak of the Ute Indtans in Colorado, he replied that he knew nothing about it except what be had seen in the news- papers, and when asked if it was not caused by lailure’ct the government to pay them money past due, he replied: “No: Mr. Meeker 1s arent tor the Ute reservation, and we have the fuliest, contidence in him. I believe he has peen en- thely honest with the Indians under his charge. i think the trouble arose from encrouchments of white settlers. and especia!ly miners, who were prospecting for gold and sliver mines. The Iudians saw they were gradually losing their reservation, and they grew desperate about it. ‘vhe appearance of the soldiers was the signal for an outbreak, and the country already knows the result.” When questioned as to what he thought of the condition of the Indlang gener- ely, be replied: ‘I am well pleased. Many of tem are making considerable in civil- jvaulon. 1 was especially grattiied at the condl- tion of the Sioux agencies and all of the north- ern agencies.” GENERAL TYNER SAFE. A telegram was received yesterday afternoon from Laramie City, Wyoming, from Assistant VYostmaster General Tyner, saying: “We are here safe and sound; have seen no Indians, nor had any trouble. I will be home next week.” A Fish SToRY.—A few days ago, Mr. George Burr, ‘son of Mr, R. H. Furr, visited what is known as the “Red Rocks,” on the Potomac, ear Spink’s old ferry, to angle for bass. Tne h bit nicely, and he soon hooked a baker’s dozen of very fine ones—one of them unusally large. Returning home with the scaly Spolls, the first thing he did was to weigh the “boss” of the lot, which pulled down the balance with rive pounds against him. The next thing to be done was to clean and dress him, and now come the strange part of the story. In his maw or stom: was found three silver halt dollars. Two of them bear date of coinage in Isi6, and the other in 1858, The “punch” con- taining the money was brought to our office on Monday morning by Mr. R. H. Furr, the father of the young man who made the: capture—who says he was present when the fish was opened and saw the maw and money taken theretrom— and no one in this community who knows Mr. F, will for a moment question bis veracity.— Whatever he as of his own knowledge as a fact, will not gainsaid. We have the “pouch,” money ee all, sitting on our desk, preseeres in alcohol, where It wiil remain for a few days, and may be seen by any one curious on the subject. To us it isa most wonderful It has been examined by a number of persons, and various are the surmises as to how the money got there. But it is there, and there’s an end on it.—[London Mirror, THE Goop FortTung OF Mrs. VicToRIA C. WOOPHULL AND Miss TENNIE C. CLAFIN.—There are not many persons in America who have, at some time or other, not heard of these ladies. ‘They are now residing in London, in one of the fashionable parts, viz: South Kensington, 47 ror’s Gate. Now I think a good many in the Jnited States will be astonished when they hear they are shortly to be married to entlemen of title and “Fortune, for I was in- formed a short time since that this was really a fact; but, says the skeptic, how could they, almost strangers, have been so fortunate in thetr selections of partners for life? Well, you all know that two or three years ago Woodhull was engaged to give fifty Recaes, commencing in London, at St. James’s Hall, She ap) peared for ten nights, but was suddenly taken ill, and by her doctors advised to discon- tinue; but the secret, is, the lady happened to have among her listeners a gentleman of title and fortune, who was fascinated by the elo- quence and magnetism of the fair V1 ‘ictorls, aud tn due time proposed, was accepted, and so shortly she will share his wealth, estates and title. oT he witty Miss Tennie C. Clafitn also 1s about doing the same thing, for she has been lucky enough to captivate a scion of the British nobility. So, very soon the Kensington church bells wiil ring out their merry peal and the “Court Journal” announce among its fashion- able marriages the names of these ladles to gentlemen of rank and fortune. And I think it ae juite a coincidence that these ee compara- live strangers in a strange land, should so soon have gained a position eg ‘social life as splendid as this. And if a certain “Colonel” should ever hear of this he will doubtless think it strange that Victoria C. at last is to marry into a family of rank, wealth, and~dlood! [London Cor, Balt. Sw: MAN vs. Horse.—The Milk river massacre gives an opportunity to compare the speed of a Man with that of a horse, at long distance. Rankin, the scout who took the news from the place of ambush to Rawlins, made the dis- nce, 160 miles, on ne in twenty-four hours. He probably had anything but smooth country through which to ride. Whether he was able to change horses does not appear. Life or death to the little band, who were in- trenched, depended on his and he doubt- Jess did his best. Rowell, the winner of the Astley belt, made last week, on a smooth track and under the most favorable circumstances, es 127 mijes in the same length of time. Hazael, in the London match, ran 137 miles in twenty- four hours, and in the velocipede con- test last spring the elder De Nolelle rode 217 miles in twenty-four hours.—| . Sun, 3d, GOVERNOR AND MRS.

He comes into oppo- sition with the sun, earth and planet are In the same straight line with the earth In the ceater. He fs therefore at his nearest Point of approac! ard takes on his brightest hue and lar mensions. Saturn rises on the sth, at Meet, and on the 3ist, about four o’clock. He should be looked for at presen§ in the east, an hour or two after sunset, when sufficiently high above the horizon to be easily detected, and will be found considerabiy farther nort”. than sapien and about two hours behind him. His peculiar color of a dull yellow, steady light, and the absence of large stars in the neighborhood, will secure his recognition as soon as the full moon is out of the way. Ob- servers who have access to telescopes should improve the present opportunity for a sight of the most charming telescopic object in the heavens. The rings undergo a variety of changes during the thirty years required for the planet’s revolution. Just now, they are ap- parently rings no longer, but Itnes of light pro- jecting on each side of this golden bail of sur- passing loveliness, while the beauty of the Picture is increased by as many of the eight moons as their position and the power of the net rument can summon into the fleld. Supiter is evening star, and so superb an ob- ject In the evening sky that there 1s no need to sound his praises. But he is moving away fromr our vicinity; before the month has passed his brightness will sensibly diminish, and at the end of the month be will sink below the hort- zon about one o'clock, leaving the field for lesser lights to take their turn for being in the ascend- aut. He rises now at half-past four; at the end of the month at half-past two. Mercury is evening star after the 5th, whan he comes Into superior conjunction with ine sun and sets at the same time. On the 3ist he sets at about half-past five, only a half hour after the sun. He 1s invisible throughout the month, and, safely hidden in the sun’s rays tracks his rapid course, secure from terrestial vision. Venus is morning star, and rapidly reaching adistance from the stn that makes her the object of supreme interest among the morning stars, She now rises ata quarter after five, abcut three-quarters of an hour before the sun, but in the latter part of the month she will rise not long after three, more than three hours be- fore the sun. On the 30th she reaches that period of her ¢reatest brilllancy, occurring thirty-six days after her inferior conjunction. Early observers will then be rewarded by a of of the largest and most beautiful member our planetary system in her most beaming hase. Those who des're to watch her erratic Hpovements will see, by marking her course among the stars of Leo, that she is moving rap- idly, as she does near her conjunctions, and that her eourse 1s retrograde or westward. ‘Mars fs morning star, and is rapidly taking on @ » hase that will make him a prominent ‘object of interest among the members of the solar family.

Tne opposition occurring next month will not be as favorable for observation; but the great tele- scopes all over the world will be scanning hls ruddy disc before this month ends.

The Adrian Fair Disaster. SIXTEEN KILLED; SEVENTY-FIVE WOUNDED. Further particulars from Adrian, Michigan, where the terrible accident on the couaty fair grounds occurred by the collapse of the grand stand, state that the total number of deaths trom the accident so far is sixteen Killed. The seriously injured number seventy-five, some of whom the physicians say cannot live. ’ The ar- chitect of the grand stand structure fs the per- son blamed for the fatal casualty. The stand was bullt unusually light to admit of space tor tie exbibition of wagons and carriages under- neath, and the timbers were simply spiked to- gether instead of belng morticea and braced. THE PRESENT STAGE OF Wom: MepIcat EpvcaTion.—What, in brief, are the interé to be drawn from the historical summary’ (1) That there is a wide-spread and ever-growing movement in all parts of the world in favor of allowing women to study and practice medl cine. (2) That their claims for admission the existing medical schools for men have in many nces been acceded to, even in countries like Germany, where there is no considerable number of applicants for the privilege. (3) That nowhere, Bxcept In Zurica ong ‘the two years of Russian invasion, have the pi social, moral, or eductional calamities befalling "the colleges or com- munities. The testimony as to these points is full, authoritative and unequivocal. i That the extent and force of the demand for the medical eaucatisa ie ‘women in the sev- eral countries is lo to the general enlightenment oft the peor ine people, tnd! ‘nding its Toudest, expression in Ei otably in panericn: No observant person Can fall to aumit that the larger cities of America contain male praconere, le despite their eral laek of attainments and roper qualifications tor the profession of medicine, are, on the aver- ae as well patronized as those of the other sex. have reached that absurd stage—and the sooner we recognize it the Detter—when the bur nie question is no longer, Shall women be allowed to practice mediciue?” ‘They are prac- ticing it, not by ones or twos, but ie hundreds; and the only problem now 1s, Shall we give {bem opportunities for steaying medicine before they avail themselves of the al- ready acquired right of practicing it? It is clearly the interest of the community to give to women the fullest instruction in accordance with the most approved systems and under the most eminent teachers; and also that their pro- ficlency should be tested by the most rigid ordeals before they finally receive certificates. By a recognition of these certificates and their comparative values, the community would be able to protect itself from the impositions of ignorant or fraudulent pretenders to medical knowledge.— (James R.

As he was journeying he was overtaken by a wayfarer, who fell into conversation with him, and in the course of it remarked, ‘W: a fool you must be!’ ‘Very probably,’ was the reply; ‘but in what particular?’ ‘why,’ sald the other, ‘don’t you see that if you were to distribute your silk equally between the two pannters and throw away the stones, you would diminish your ass's burden by one-half?’ Very true,’ rejoined the other; ‘I_ thank you for your wise counsel.’ And forthwith the silk merchant threw his stones out on the road and distributed the cargo in equal portions between the two panniers. As, however, they continued their journey, the merchant remarked: ‘ You are a very cleverand discerning person, but how fs it that you are in such evil case? Your clothes are sotled and threadbare, and you have scarcely a shoe to your foot.’ ‘The truth 1s,’ was the reply, ¢T am an unfortunate man.’ ‘ Are you an unfortunate man? Then I will go back and pick up my stones,’ which he accordingly did and replaced the silk in statu quo. It happened that when he arrived at Bagdad he found that the Caliph was building a new palace, but was brought to a stand still for want of stones. So the mer- Chant sold his stones for more than he got for his silk and returned rejoicing. Now, my sons, in presdnting you each with the sliver donkey, I wish to impress upon you this maxim: Never take the advice of an unfortunate man.” FOUND AFTER THIRTY-FOUR YEARS.—In 1545 the Catholic Chureh in Martinsburg, W.
