ate, frugal, industrious, and interested in the cducation of their children. They were thoroughly loyal during the late rebellion, and furnislhed a number of soldiers to the Union army. Many of them arc-good farmers; and as a tribe they are generally extend ing their agricultural operations, improving their dwellings, and adding to their comforts. A largo majority of the tribe are anx ious to have their rescrvation allotted in sevcrally; and, iuasınuch as they are not inclined to remove to another locality, it would seem desirable that their wishes in this rospect should be com plicd with. One school is in operation on the reservation, with an attendance of sixty-eight scholars, besides an industrial home for orphans, supported by the Indians themselves

Otoes and Missourias.-These Indians, numbering 404, an in crease of fourtcen over last year, were removed from Iowa and Missouri to their present beautifal and fertile reservation, com prising 160,000 acres, and situated in the southern part of No- braska. Untił quite recently they have evinccd but little dispo- sition to labor for a support, or in any way to better their mis erable endition; yet cut off from their wonted source of subsist ence, the buffalo, by their fear of the wild tribes wlieh have takcn possession of their old hunting-grounds, they have gradually been more and more forced to work for a living, Witin the last three years many of them have opened farms and built themsclves houses. A school has also been established, having an attend ance of ninety-five scholars,

The Indians still remainiiug in Kansas are the Kickapoos, Pot- tawattomies (Prairie band), Clippewas and Munsecs, Miamis, and tie Kausas or Kaws.

Kickapoos.-The Kiekapoos emigrated from Ilinois, and are now located, to the number of 200, on a reservation of 19,200 acres, in the north-castern part of the State, During the late war a party of about one hundred, dissatisfied with the treaty made with the tribe in 1803, went to Mexico, upon representa tions made to them by certaiu of their kinsmen living in that ro- public that they would be welcomcd and protceted by tlhe Mexi can Government; ut, finding themselves deceived, attempted to return to the United States. Only a few, however, succecded in reaching the Kickapoo Agency. The Kickapoos now remaining in Mexico separated frou the tribe morc than twenty ycars ago, and settled among the southern Indians in the Indian Territory
