A Bay AumngtHe Indians, Emrott Democrat : We recently had - the pleasure ol joining a party of young folks at the residence ol Wat.- Boast, near the (iohlen Rule school-Louse, to pay a visit to the rod man on the reservation. At 8 o’clock we started on our journey, as merry a party as ever visited the reservation; many beautiful larius and handsome; residences were passed, some of which equal those of old Pike. The country is being rapidly settled up, judging Iroiu the number of new dwellings that we saw, one in particular attracting our attention rom its elevation, being built ou the summit of a high ridge ; and ©Men the only building visible on the broad expanse of the prairie for miles. After traveling for a longdistance over the bills and hollows, through cornfields, sometimes finding our road ending in some man’s barn-vard, often traveling whjjout a road* wo bad almost despaired ot seeing the “noble red man,” when upon reaching the top [>f a high >idge, the much looked for W-SSler MissWii tififi our VWw.

After all had partook of the many good things • proad betore ns (consisting of cakes, pies, jellies, chicken, fruits, etc ) , to their appetite’s content, curiosity led us to visit some wigwams near by, one of which we entered, and was much surprised at the clean linessofthe interior, having always heard of the filthiness oh the Indian tribe. This family unU-t have hern an exception, and their welcome will long be remembered by the whole party, as till ha l the curiosity to take a look at the wigwam and its contents. Our horses rested and the party feeling much refreshed we visited the school, amt rreeived a welcome ft out Miss (Jook.the principal. A I'ler hearing two classes recite we took our departure, receiving a cordial invitation from Miss (J. to virdt her school again. After driving some lour miles further we called a halt at an Indian bnrying-ground where there was» log in a tree; tint log had been spli; and the halves hewed out something like a trough ; then they had been put together with so tne nails, which was very easily pulled apart; in the trough there were a small skull and a small box that contained some matches; the log looked to be about (our feet long and about ten inches iu diameter. After taking iu all that was to be seen there, we turned onr faces cast Ward. Driving lor some distance we pulled in at an Indian village on a kereek called Big Soldier. There we saw Indian women making wigwams out of rushes by catting them in pieces about 5 or 6 feet long and stringing them on cords and setting them upon end which formed the side, walls of the wigwam. We traveled until sundown when we come lo a large stoue out on the prairie: it is one of the stones of many .colors, but not the one we were iu search oi, this one being but seven feet high. The party, 20 in number, all standing on it at oue time and there was room for as mauy more. There were a great many pieces broken off by the party, some of them declaring their intention of taking a piece home with them to remember a day so pleasantly spent. Mr. Johnny Patterson has our thanks for a piece whioh be was so kind as to break off and presout to us for a keepsake. It now being nearly dark wo putted out for home, when it became so dark that we could hardly see the epad. The parly that was in front called, a halt and made^a proposition that we camp out until the moon should shine forth to light the pathway of the weary traveler; but the motion being overruled, we again pulled out foi* home, some singing, some whistling, others hallooing. We continued in this way until about half past seven, when we all parted, bidding each other a kind good night, and all resolved to visit the Quaker Mission again should another opportunity present itself, A merrier party never visited the ‘injuns;’ ail enjoying themselves to the last moment of our mingling together and all seemed sorry that a day so happily and pleasantly spent, which will long be rememberedbv the whole party, had come to a close For the kindness shown me, and the interest taken in my welfare, they will please aoceptthe thanks and well wishes of ,4 C.
