A Cherokee (Indian) Newspaper.

I Wo have received several exchange copies! |of a paper called the Vherokw Ado «• ale , puh- i : lished at Tahlequah, Cherokee Nation, and! edited hy W. P. Boudinot, an attorney-at-' law practising in that region. The paper is: issued weekly, and from three to four columns of each number are printed in the Cherokee; language. Under the heading of “Local Matters,” the subjoined paragraphs appear j in the latest Advtmie received. They are 1 | peculiar specimens of English composition,— 1 iso peculiar, indeed, that we can only charitably suppose the editor to he a Frenchman : “ If yon want good pictures of yourself, your wife, or your children, take the chance now j j offered hy Mr Wilson, who will accommo- ■ I date you with good ones. He goes away from Tahlequah, and who knows—perhaps will not | | return. There has been several picture-takers I here, but none equal in the business to the anj tlcnnn named. Wo say this for your henetit, ! i not Ids.” | “ A Texan was killed at (Hibson Station last I I week hy being first knocked senseless with a j Six Shoo'cr. and then shot to death before he i “ came to.” The Assassin’s name was “Curley ” j hut wheth ir it was that his hair was curley or | that he had a curley temuer or for what reason we are not ii firmed. ’The last account we arc i aide to give of Mr Curley is of his being hound ; with ropes to a tree near the spot of the murder i and guarded hy six men. For some reason or i other, the end of a Railroad always changing, i never changes its reputation as the “ worst j place in the world.” And of all such ends Bib- j I son Station has been pr mouneed the worst, it is a good phace to say hero that it is not in the j Cherokee ('omitry. ” “ Weather line for a we dr hark.- Cold, hut ; 1 clear, in the morning and as a. general thing | i warm enough in the middle of the day to go i ; without a coat. It not nnfrequently happens | i that one cold brush like that about the Ist of the month, is about all the winter we have in j one year in this climate. Farmes ought to prepare now for the next crop. If you have not! selected a lirstrate Place for yourself and another | for your wife, do so now. Under no cireum-; | stances can this he had advice, and under some it may he the hist iu the wo "Id.” | “Mrs Sophia Brant, of Pittsburg, is dead. . Kerosene.” | “A curious experiment was tried in Bussia with j some murderers. They were placed, without j I snowing it, in some beds where four persons had died of the cholera. They did not take the | j disease. They were then told that they were to i I sleep in beds where some, persons had died of! i malignant cholera ; hut the beds were, in fact, I new, and had not been used at all. Neverthe- i less, three of them died of the disease within ! four hours.” | The foregoing paragraph is an extract from j some other paper, and here follow the Arlro-! entr'a editorial remarks upon it; — “If that proves anything it proves the time I which elapsed from the time they lay in the | leh o'era beds to the time when they took the i ] cholera, was just long enough to take it. Or I ! does the donee mean that any three out of four who are told they are In sleep in eh lei a hods' I will take the disca; c
