  Ga-gii-ne-as-heh, 
  or 
  knife 
  and 
  belt. 
  

  

  No.

  Among 
  the 
  Senecas 
  in 
  this 
  State, 
  and 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  in 
  Canada, 
  

   the 
  knife 
  and 
  belt 
  are 
  very 
  frequently 
  to 
  be 
  seen 
  as 
  a 
  part 
  of 
  their 
  

   daily 
  apparel. 
  To 
  the 
  leather 
  belt 
  a 
  plain 
  sheath 
  is 
  attached, 
  in 
  

   which 
  the 
  knife 
  is 
  worn, 
  the 
  handle 
  appearing 
  partly 
  above 
  it. 
  

   Formerly 
  the 
  tomahawk 
  was 
  worn 
  in 
  the 
  belt, 
  and 
  behind 
  the 
  

   back, 
  from 
  which 
  circumstance 
  doubtless 
  originated 
  the 
  habit 
  of 
  

   wearing 
  the 
  knife 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  manner; 
  for 
  it 
  is 
  as 
  frequently 
  

   seen 
  behind 
  the 
  back 
  as 
  upon 
  the 
  side. 
  The 
  blade, 
  which 
  is 
  usu- 
  

   ally 
  from 
  six 
  to 
  ten 
  inches 
  in 
  length, 
  is 
  that 
  of 
  a 
  common 
  knife; 
  

   and 
  it 
  is 
  used 
  as 
  a 
  substitute 
  for 
  the 
  pocket 
  knife; 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  for 
  a 
  

   great 
  variety 
  of 
  purposes. 
  The 
  one 
  figured 
  above 
  was 
  procured 
  

   of 
  a 
  Seneca 
  on 
  Grand 
  river.

  or

  Corn 
  was 
  charred 
  by 
  roasting 
  it 
  before 
  a 
  long 
  fire 
  in 
  the 
  field 
  

   while 
  in 
  its 
  green 
  state.

  reducing 
  it
