 considerable part of the Cayugas have migrated to Canada, 

 It is thought probable they will all quit the United States, 

 and retire over the Lakes Ontario and Erie, and settle with 

 their former associates. There is an exact census of all these 

 Indians taken annually. The number of souls, in 1/96, ex-

 of different dimensions, and at different places, within their 

 own line, as an evidence of returning friendship, and to pro-
