The saj !Uir took rilae'e on the road between the bouses of Masters and McMillen, and asida from cir cumstantial evidenc we are dependent atonu upon Mr. MtMillen fr a history of of the transaction. Mr, RfcMillen stales that while ho waseng'igod In cutting soma tree which bad fallen across the P'.vl, Mas ters rod up and iiineiintin fixed him (MoMillrn) by the thrwal, saying 'Mc, I've got Oil just v here I want you, and I'll cut your been out."

Iio alw attempted lo twist MeMil leu's cratal so as lo strangle him. At ibis lime Mc-Milltn says be made out lo get fmin under bis assailant, nnd springing to bis feet ran lo whero bis gun lay tome ei'ht or lets steps distant, Musters following him in hot basic Upon reaching his gun be snatched it up and continuing his retreat shot Masters in the facsni lit was running. Mc-Millen then lo k his ax and gun and went borne. From this bo went to the hcuso of. 12. Uarton, bis fathi-r-iit law, and informed iho peoplo wh' h.t-I assem bled there at a meeting, of u hat bad occur- red. Ho psruin arrived at llm scene of conflict for two hours or more after Mas ters we shot, ' Those wh') first reached tbe ground found him still n'ive nnd able to g I upon bis bands nnd knees, although his eyes were both shot out. He expired in the afternoon of tbe tamo day. It it reported that ihe hone Mastort rode was found on last Monday a miie or two from tbe bloody spot, with saddle and bri dle still on, both stained with blood, which has caused sotnt to suspicion foul play, and induce iho belief that Masters was shot whilo on bis horse. Of ihe truth of this rumor wo know nothing. A rigid investi gation will elicit all tiie rvidenuo that can possibly bo got at, MuMii'icn was examined before Esq.

OoiiK'rcnce at its late session resolved that "they had con fidence in i ho power of the gospel, if preached nnd administered among them, to arrot nil outbreaks in future," and lite Conference "respectfully suggests tn the Superintendent of Indian Afluir, if il would not be expedient to make liberal ar rnngemcnts for Christian and ministerial bibor among tho Indians." Tbo S'ates man speaks very contcmplnbly of the proj ect ami underestimates the labors of "bio. Parrish" who has long been an Indian missionary, by saying that "niissonnry ia bori have been a complsto nnd signal fail ure, and wo never saw or heard of any Ira. cos of their works in the shape of regenera ted and civilized natives." If tho Super intended of Indian Affairs would make the ' liberal arrangtmrul" to pay "bro. Pntrisli" about $2000 salary per annum for his la bors perhaps ho might do botlor. Rut as tho Conference seems to speak of "Chris tian and ministerial labor" as two difjerent tilings, perhaps tlia Superintendent would do well to improve upon the suggestion of. feredby tho conduct of the "eld man who found a rudo boy up bis npplo tree," nnd first try what virtue there is in tho milder expedient of Christian laiur" and if be thru thinks be stands in need of "Ministeri al" assistance, l.e nvglit call upon '-bro.
