It was in my foreign travel,
At famous Flemish inn,
That I met a stout isb person
With a vtry ruddy skin ;
' And bis hair was something sandy,
And was done' in knotty rorls,
And was parted In the middle,
In tbe manner of a girl's.

He' was clad ia chequered" trousers -:
And bis coat was ti a sort ' :
Te suggest a scanty'. pattern,
, It was bobbed so very short j-
And his cap was very little. , ; '.
. (. Such as auldiers often use ; .
And be wore a pair of gaiters, - -t
. And extremely heavy shoes. i:'
I addressed the man in English,
And he answered in the aume.
Though he t poke it in a fashion
' That I thought a little lame; x
For the aspirate was missing . ,

The Dimocrisy alarmed. The inde

uv the hed men wuz held.. In view uv
the crisis, a pair one male and one fe

nouticed perfeck fpessimens entirely

But tu no avail.' The last nigger in

these two were struck, and, notwiihstand

The heavens wuz clothed with leaden-

We have just . received news of an
other seriou3 Indian outrage upon the
plains. N. H. Rice, Esq.', an old resi-
dent of Denver, reached Oniaha'yestcr-
day afternoon, and gives us the follow'
ing particulars :
About four o'clock p'. m. oa the 2Sih
ult. the train wiih which Mr. Rice was
coming down, arrived at 'a point four
miles above Alkali Slalionand the par-
ty then observed an up train, consisting
of about sixty teams, in the act of corral-
mg. 'But before all of the train got in-
to position, a noay 01 inaians, variously
estimated at from 100 to 300,' rallied
from the hills and succeeded in cutting
off ten of the number. Six of the . dri-
. -- - . 1
vers fled 10 the main body and escaped.
Four " too d their g'round, and were, in-
stamly overpowered and killed. The
down train formed wiih the advance of
the up tram -in fact with all of it ex
cept the len teams that wefe cut off
and no attack Was made upon them.

wise disabled the cattle which fell into
their hands, and look the mules away

were burned.
The names 'of the men who were kitt

and H. B. and Elijah Carton, father and
sop. All of these were stripped, except
Gaskill ' Selby was burnt to a crisp.
tach one was literally filled with ar- formance. ' It must be' understood that

It is f course impossible u ascertain however, as Dexter is ulso a cap.tul h.:r

ified the arrows say they are of ihe
