INDIANS

A remnant of the Musquawka tribe of Indians has bivouacked among us this winter. Their tents are pitched in the outskirt of our town, while their dingy occupants daily saunter listlessly through our streets or lounge about our stores. Powesheik, their Chief, is at Iowa City. Some of our readers this week will peruse a paper printed by Oushenock, a bachelor of the tribe.
