TOBACCO BOCK.

^Wheo I first visited llw Wabaeh country, in tho year 1834, there was in the neighbor* hood of where the town of Lngro is now situ«ted, a large boulder—the largest I ever saw, being of ao oval form, about fifteen bv ten feel in dimensions. This was called Tobacco Rock,—it being used bv the Indians as an altar, on which they offered Tobacco, as a •ncrifice to the Snake*. 1 have seen a nunv ber of plugs of tobacco lying in it, and on one occasion, as a matter of curiosiiy, helped my self to a chew of the tobacco which the Indi* •ns had there deposited.

This custom among the North American Indians, of offering sacrifices to the Snakes, has iis foundation in the belief of the ex is* fence of two great spirits—the one good, the other bad,—both governing the affairs of men. Of the two spirits, the good one— which sends them all their blessings, their corn, their venison, their horses and their women—is usually denominated the Great Spirit, although both are worshipped, and the anger of the one a« much dreaded as that of the other. VViih the Bad Spirit the snakes are supposed to have an immediate connection, and 10 be its direct and corporeal representative,^ consequence of which they are greaily feared and worshipped by the Indians.

An Indisn could not, under any circumstance be induced to kill one of thine reptiles, and if by accident he injures or destroys one, he is greatly distrewd, and is sure of hav:ng offended the Bad Spirit. To appeaw its anger, he paints in black, to indicate his mourning, and offers tobacco-—a plant whifh he deems sacred, is the only acceptable offering with which to allay the anger of the offended spirit. All his misfortunes nro supposed to be cause! by the spirit, which, by some means or other, he thinks he has offended in consequence of which, he is at all times en* dea voting to obtain its good will.

Tobacco Rock was ilie place to which the fndians resorted when in trouble, and there thought they fell relief when they had offered sacrifice to the representaii»es of the nngry god. When an epidemic spread its ravages among them, or defeot befel I hoi arms, the frowns ofan angry spirit were imagined, onda numerous host of penitent Miamies resorted to the Rock of their father*, to offer up sacrifices upon its time honored altar. But alas what a change has come over the spirit of their dreams. Not only has that numerous host, with i:s tears and sorrows, censed it* con gregnted worships, but even the massy and imperishable rock itself has fallen before the march of civlized man.

With its history, will live the superstitions of a wild and uncultivated people. But its fate is no less instructive, and points with mournful certainty to the destiny of the fast fading remnants of that powerful and war like nation who once worshipped at its f»hrine.

The line of the Wabash and Erie Canal rnn directly through it, and as a consequence had to he removed. The section in which tin rock was included, was let to a driving, stav ing Irishman, by the name of Brady, who had obtained the cognomen of

Box. He commenced his operations shortly after my arrival in the country with the aid of powder nnd drills, and a few sturdy Irishmen soon blew the Indian altar in'o a thousand picces. Thm has Tobacco Rock fallen its rights rejecteJ, and its ceremonies forgotten. The nrtificinl stream that now sweeps along the Wabash Valley, covers the ground it once occupied. Not a vestige of its grout iioss remains, nor a signal to show (he sacred spot on which it rosa I Q.

A NEW EXPERIMENT.

A recent work of science gives the following novel experiment which setttios questions of some importance in philosophy: "Two hundred pounds weight ofenrth were dried in on oven.nnJ afterwards put into nn earthen vessel. The earth wni then moistened with rnin water, and a willow tree weighing five pounds was placed therein. During five year9 the earth was carefully wnterisd with rain water or, pure *aler the willow grew and flourished and, to prevent the rarth being mixed with fresh earth, or dust blown on it by (ho winds, it was covered with a metal plate perforated with ft great number of amall holes, suitable for the free ndmission of nir only. After growing in the air five years, the willow treo wat removed and found to weigh one hundred and sixty-nine pounds and about three ounces. The leaves which fell from the tree every autumn were not included in this weight. The earth wns then re* moved from the vessel, again dried in the oven, and afterwards weighed: it was discovered to have lost only about two ounces of its original weight thus one hundred and sixty pounds of woody fibre, bark, or roots, were certainly produced but frm what

aource? The oir hns beendiscoverd lt be the source of the solid element at least. This statement mav at first appear lo be incredib!«, but upon the slightest reflection its truth is proved, because the atmosphere contains enr* bonic acid, and is a compound of 714 pans, by weight of oxygen, and 380 parts, by weight, of carbon."

An Agency will consequently be very valuable.

The Graefenberg Pills are inconreivahly superior to any ever before discovered. In all bilious complaints in general derongement of t..e system in nil disorders which result from a bad stale of the blood, these pilla ore a sovereign remedy.

In the class of diseases called chronic, the Graefen berg Pills achieve their highest triumphs. Here they defy all competition. Entering within the hidden recesses of the system, they quietly but surely purify the blood, root out disease, and give tone and viuor 10 the body.

CURES ARE CONSTANTLY EFFECTED By these Pilfs, in cases where every other means had utterly failed. The most abundant proof of this could be given, hut a trinl of one box will convince the patient. They con be ordered ond sent by mail.at trifling expense. The price is25 cents a box. Where two dollats worth are ordered and the money remitted, the Company will pay the postage on the Fills. Remittances at the Company's risk. Wherever there is no Agency of the Company tiiev can be ordered by mail.

These Pills are taking the place of all others, and no sick person should be without them. ALL BILIOIS COMPLAINTS, BOWEL COMPLAIN TS. CONSTIPATION, DYS

PEPSIA. FEVER AND AGUE, HEADACME. JAUNDICE. LIVER COMPLAINTS. RHEUMATISM. ALL STOMACH COMPLAINTS. GREEN SICK

NESS. ETCETERA,

yield at once to these Pills. They purge away offensive humors, arrest the progress of disease, and at the same time restore tone and vigor to thesystem. In ca* ses of general derangement of the health, ihey are SOVEREIGN.

By their use, the weak will become strong the pale and billious complexion be restored to a perfectly fresh and healthy color all the bad symptona will one by one disappear.

In short, these Pills are an inconceivable advance on any other medtcinc ever before offered to the puuti'c. A trial will satisfy any one of this. (CT Agent for Terre Haute, mov 8 3(v8m H. 1. REED.

win-

a few fac's. which will establish

HOUSE'S INDIAN TONIC to he the best remedy for CHILLS or AGUE and FEt'ER. now known. Fact lit—the article is convenient and pleasant to take is refined Irom all gross particles, which render other preparation so muddy, nauseous, and disagreeable 10 the taste and if the directionsare followed, will eure everv case, with mathematical certainty, in Irom three to five hours. Astonishing but true. Fact 2nd— By its action upon the liver and other organs concerned in forming it. the bile is regulated. Ihe morbid action induced by the cause of ihe disease is destroyed—lever allayed—and it will be found a powerful agent in assisting to remove fevers generally. Fact 3d—U gives tone to the stomach-invigorates Ihe body—stimulates all the functions to a healthy aciion—and is highly useful wherever tonics are wanted. Fact 4th—This Tonic has performed and is daily performing, cures in CHILLS or AGUE and FEVER, without a parallel in medicine. Witness a single botile making it cure in a case of TEN YEARS standing another in a case of NINE YEARS standing—to cure which had previously baffled all skill, and every remedy. Look at the many other astonishing cures act forth in the certificates around the bottle, and then say. if HOUSE'S INDIAN TONIC does not deservedly stand, pre-eminently the greatest remedy of the times. Read the certificates carefully they are from your neighbors and friends—and whenever you meet with one of •hem—to ascertain the truth—don't fail toasi thorn concerning it. Be sure to ask for HOUSE'S INDIAN TONIC, and as you value your health, don't be put off with anything else
