EPITAPHS
The following Epitaph is inscribed on the tombstone of a rich citizen's
wife, in the Cincinnati Grave Yard:
Yes, we have liv'd, but we like all must part -
May heaven, dear husband, now have all thy heart;
Yet ah! How once we lov'd, remember still,
Till you are dust like me. Dear Wife I will.
We think the following will match the above - it is from an English
paper:
Oh! Do no grieve, my dearest dear,
I am not dead, but sleeping here;
When your immortal part shall flee,
You must be laid 'long side o' me.
Under which a wag wrote,
I do not grieve, my dearest life;
Sleep on - I've got another wife
I do not wish to lie with thee,
I'd rather go to bed with she.

From Fort Smith - Maj. Phillips, of the Army, and several other
gentlemen, arrived here last week, from Fort Smith, who left there about
the time the troops were starting for the new post to be established at
the mouth of the Verdigris. --- Part of the troops, with some wagons,
&c. were sent up by land, and the remainder, with the military stores,
were transported in boats, which had been procured for the purpose. A
guard was left to protect some public property that had been necessarily
left behind, and are the only troops now remaining at Fort Smith.
These gentlemen bring us the unwelcome intelligence, that MR. NATHANIEL
PHILBROOK, sub-agent to the Osages, who we mentioned last week had left
Fort Smith for the Osage Nation, was drowned on his way up, in
attempting to cross Grand River, which empties in on the south side of
the Arkansas. Mr. Choteau, a respectable trader among the Osages,
communicated to us the following particulars of the melancholy event ---
Mr. Philbrook's saddle bags, clothing, pistols, &c. were found on this
side of Grand river, and his horse, which had been tied to a tree and
broke loose, was found 15 miles below, with his bridle on. It has been
ascertained, that he had made a raft, composed of drift-wood, (there
being no other means of conveyance,) on which he attempted to reach the
opposite bank of the river; but the river being high, and the current
very strong, he was no doubt swept down into the Arkansas, where his
frail bark separated, and consigned him to a watery grave. His raft was
found on the north side of the Arkansas, a mile or two below the mouth
of Grand river, and was identified, by having been fastened together
with a circingle and one of the stirrup leathers from his saddle.
Mr. Philbrook was a native of New Hampshire, where his relatives reside;
and he was a few years since extensively engaged in the mercantile
business in the city of New York. He emigrated to this Territory about
four years ago - was distinguished for his intelligence and gentlemanly
deportment - and all who knew him, deplore in him the loss of a sincere
friend, an upright and honest man, and a good citizen.
We are informed by Mr. Choteau, that the Osages had promised to send
down in his boat, the murderers who had committed the outrage on a party
of hunters last winter, but from some unknown cause, they did not comply
with their promise. He thinks they were waiting for the arrival of Mr.
Philbrook, and that if he had arrived, the murderers would have been
sent down. He also informs us, that a large majority of the Osages are
friendly disposed towards our government - that the outrage is
discountenanced by the nation - and he thinks the murderers will be
given up without any farther shedding of blood.

Mr. David Barber, for some years past a trader among the Osages, has
been appointed, by the Acting Governor, Sub-Agent to the Osages, in the
room of Mr. Philbrook. Mr. Barber left this place on Sunday last for the
Osage Nation.  |

THE INDIANS - We understand, says the Missouri Intelligencer of 3d
inst., that some of our frontier settlers are seeking safety from the
Indians by removing. We have, however, heard nothing, lately, which
indicates immediate danger, or affords reasonable ground of alarm.
