Tho Union Agency has jur sdiction over some 20,000,000 acres, embracing tho Cherokee, Crook, Seminole, Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations, and containing about 63,000 citizens, divided as follows: Chorokoos, 25,000; Creoles, 15,000; Seminolos, 2,000; Choctaws, 18,000; Chickasaws, 0,400. There aro besides about 144,500 whites, negroes and other non-citizons, of whom 64,000 aro unlawfully in tho country. Tho citizen population is mado up of 10,000 full blood, 33,000 of mixed blood, and 15,000 intermarried with whites and freedmen. Mr. Bennott gives groat credit to tho Christian missionaries for tho moral advancement of tho flvo tribes. Ills roport shows that the Baptists, Methodists and Presbytorians have invested largo sums in church property, and that thoro is a growing interest among tho Indians in roligious matters. Regarding tho laws, tho agent says that thero is nood of an improved judicial systom; that "this vory complicated condition (of conflicting jurisdictions) tonds to loave hundreds of cases for whioh thoro appears to bo no remedy;" that "tho scarcity ot funds, the apprehonsion of many criminals is prevontod thereby, and the commission of crimes encouraged."

Our past history of advertising just what we mean, and doing just what we advertise, will bear us out in the assertion that to close out a stock of Overcoats such as we carry means the greatest slaughter in prices you have ever witnessed in Punxsutawney. You are all aware of the fact that the past two winters have been very poor winters in which to sell overcoats, and every clothier in this town, and in fact almost everywhere, have been obliged to carry more or less of these garmenls over summer. To keep overcoats from one season to another means to lose money, and we have always believed in the maxim that half a loaf was better than no bread. Our word for it. We have said our overcoats must go, and go they will, profit or no profit. We will give you a little idea how prices will be cut : $10 coats, 18; $12 coat, $10; $15 coats, $13; $18 coats, $16; $20 coats, $18; $22 coats, $20; $25 coats, $23. Don't make a mistake and think this just an advertising dodge for it isn't, but a bonafide sale at prices that will astonish and surprise everybody.

Pooplo in o very outlying settlement aro opposed to bachelors taking up claims in their vicinity. An oxchango says: "There aro somo splendid claims on Deadwood crook not yot taken, as good as any on tho coast. Tho citizens want men with families to sottlo on them. Threo of thoso claims wore taken by bachelors last fall. Tho ladies of Deadwood passed a resolution placing a throe years' limit on celibacy in that district, and providing all bachelors not married at tho end of that time bo runout of tho Bottloment or hanged."

The necessary formalities were very procisc, and if they were not fully eonformed with tho bees would certainly tako offense and leave their hives never to return. So universal was tho custom a few years ago that an inquiry after a cottager's bees would occasionally elicit snrao such reply as this: "They have all gono away since the death of poor Dick, for wo forgot to knock atthohive3 and tell them that ho was gono dead." Tho answer would bo given with as much gravity as if the speaker were relating how her hen roost had been devastated by a fox, or her pigs had died of swino fever. If neighbors were talking of tho death of a friend some one in the company would most likely wonder if tho In somo districts tho entrance of a bumble-boo into a cottage is looked upon as a certain sign of death, and in others their swarming upon a piece of dead wood is regarded as equally ominous. A story is told of the wife of a respectablo cottager living in Sussex who died in child-birth whoso husband accepted the blow quite philosophically because ho said they had been warned of the event a fortnight before her confinement. Tho woman went into tho garden and saw that their bees, in tho act of swarming, had made clioico of a dead hedgo-stako for their settlingplace. This 13 considered an infallible token of approaching death in tho family, and in this instanco it is more than probablo that tho prediction brought about its own fulfillment. A bushel of corn was always considered a fair equivalent for a swarm, or a small pig would be taken in exchange. So long as the bees aro bartered they aro happy, but to bo "guilty of selling them is a grievous omen indeed, than which nothing can bo more dreadful;" evidently their self-respect is touched, and they refuso to work for an owner who has bought them into slavery. Their sympathy with mankind and his troubles wero shown in a variety of ways. It is a common saying in Hampshire that bees do not succeed at all in storing up honey whenever there aro wars abroad. A largo bee-keeper says ho has constantly noticed this during tho last European wars, though ordinary people will reflect that they can not remember any great scarcity of honey at thoso particular times. But tho most commonly-accepted belief is that tho bees in certain cases share our troubles, and this is more particularly noticeable in connection with death. TRADITION ABOUT BEES. by QaarrtU«m» Families. There Is probably no insect in which mankind takes more interest than the D3o, «ays the London Standard, and there certainly is none around which so many superstitions havo clustered from time immemorial. The important part the busy little beo has ever played in our iomestic life, how its deeds have boon sung by our poets and moralized on by Durpreachers, it is not proposed to diln'e an hero; butsomeof the current superstition.-, connected with it, though very amusing, may not bo generally known. Primarily, quarrelsome people*, if inclined to live in the country and kee p bees, are warned to mend their ways or their hives Will soon become deserted. Bees may bo, and wo boiieve are, very pugnacious among themselves, but they strongly object, so say the country folk, to bolong to a contentious household. A querulous family, we are assured, will get no honey, keep as many bees as they may. Another good example sot by them is that thoy object to thrivo if iishonestly como by; on the contrary, they forthwith pino away and die, thereby showing a highly commendablo respect for tho eighth commandment. And if they must not bo stolen, neither must they bo sold. To sell them for money is considered a most unlucky proceeding, but they may bo bartered away, and all will go right. rht Busy IaMeta Object to Rcing K'pt PtTMHTJTAWaT, PA: y~OUlca in his reBc'enee.l a tho West End. h.
