IMLY <& ARJISTItO.Xi, UROAD AND ELLIS STREETS, AUGUSTA, GA., i AN INDIAN CUSTOM. How Canadian Indians An¬ nually “Kill the Devil.” Ridding Tliemsalvea of the Evil One by Promiscuous Shooting. What all the preachers of Christendom have yet failed to accomplish is yearly done by the Indians of the Restigouphe country—at least, to their own satiafac tion. On St. Anne’s Dry every year they “kill the devil,” an achievement which would be greatly to their credit were it not that the adversary seems to come to life again every twelve months. At St. Anne’s mission, opposite this town, writes a Campb llton (IN’. B.) corre¬ spondent of the Boston Herald, there gathered yesterday a most motley and curious crowd. The steamer Admiral came up from D.dhousic, bringing some hundred of French and Indians from along the lower Quebec coast as far as Gaspe. All the Mic-Macs were in fete, for St. Anne’s Day is one of thejjreat days of iheir year. Over mouldy roads, past scores of calmly wallowing or nursing swine and piglings, the parti-colored throng poured on toward the Mission church. Smoked glass was essential to the comfortable contemplation of the squaws. They wore neither hats nor bonnets, but. each dusky head was covered with the brightest of bright bandannas. Handkerchiefs of varying shades of red glowed everywhere in the sunshine, giving the effect of a P°PPy bed when several squaws met or sat or squatte 1 together upon the grass. Shirts and jackets of brilliant Imc3 put the soberer costumes of white sisters to shame, and even the men rejoiced now in red flannel shirts, again in showy scat fs, or gaudy jewelry, or hats decorated with bright salmcn flies. Presently up swaggered some young Indians, decidedly of the hoodlum type, carrying guns and pistols, weapons which would delight an antiquarian. T.icj were flint-locks and muskets, which possibly dated from Queen Anne. One rusty bnr rel was joined to a liome-made stock, which had apparently been chopped out of a spruce log. All this warlike array meant the as. sailing and utter destruction of the adversary, or, as the Mic-Macs have it, “killing Mundou,” Mundou being the Evil One. In the olden time a silver ball was thought necessary for the shoot¬ ing of witches or of animals protected by magic, but the Mic-Macs con.-idcr the ammunition of the shops effective against his Satanic M ij?.«ty hi v vf ... Now and then some rod-skined youth, emerging from his cabin, discharged his gun into the air and the scene was as¬ suming a Fourth of July aspect when a message came from the priest forbidding firing for the present on account of Iho crowd, the number of horses tied along the road and the consequent risk of ac¬ cident, so the devil was reprieved for a time, but after the ceremonies in the church were concluded the Indians ccle brated in their own fashion. The deslruction of Mundou is not a difficult matter according to the Mic Macs. Tiicy appear to hold that the devil is hovering in the air somewhere above them. Not knowing cxact'y where he may be, they take pains to lire in every direction, riddling the air toward every point of the compass. The favorite way ■ of shooting him. is for two or more Indi- | ans to cross the barrels of their guns, j pointing upward, and fire at the same i time time, Thcv racy reason reason that in.it if n the the dmril devil dodges one discharge he may blunder into the way of another. The fact that the devil remains disembodied does not seem to make him proof against earl hi y powder and shot, and so the Mid-Maes load and fire as rapidly as possible in tl c laudable desire of hitting the adversary on the wing. There is something rather fascinating in the idea of wing shoot.ng at this kind of game, and I earnestly hope that the uproarious burning of ammunition was not without a successful result. This curious custom of “Killing devii’ ,3 is of course not practiced with the implicit faith of former years, but the Fourth of July uproar continues. One feature of the day has fallen completely into abeyance, that of feasting upon roasted dog. It was usual with the Mic-Macs, as with many Indian tribes, to honor this occasion and other festivals by a banquet of dog, but for many years the dog has been banished from the board. Tiie feast is still held, or rather there were two, one for the visiting priests, another for the Indians. Dry Weather.

Barrett & Co : This is to certify that my son was greatly afflicted with Dyspep¬ sia. and after trying several physi¬ cians and everything l know of without any relief, l was persuad¬ ed by Dr. Reid to try II II. P. After using one bottle, I saw quite an improvement in his condition. Being so much gratified with this result, the use was continued. After using one half dozen bottles he gained thirty or forty pounds in weight, and was entirely restor od to health. 1 fully believe it. saved my son's life, and I cheer¬ fully recommend it to those suffer¬ ing with Liver Complaint, Malaria, and Dyspepsia.
