PICKINGS FRO“ “ PUNCH.” V, ‘ '1AN'I'.—To THE LADIES.—The great success ' whic - he “ Strong Wind” has tnet with in the lottery of dlock, has induced his companions in arms and paint --.the Ojibbeway Indians—to advertise for English wives; rind as the 'said Indians are very shortly to leave Eng- land, early applications on the part ofthe ladies are de- sirable. The Indians have already at least one wife, but they promise, even as “ Strong Wind” promised, to remain constant to their new liclpmates; a promise which, upon their return to the back woods, they will doubtless most honourably’ perform. We subjoin the advertisements : , V. No. I. “ Ah-quc-we-zants—the Boy Chief. The advertiser is in his seventygfifthyear, and shall be happy toform an engagement with any lady of known property. The Boy Chief,'in his admiration ofthe martial charac- ter ofEngland, will have no objectiondo the widow of a general officer, if under forty. Her property must not he'secured upon herself. , She must know how to cure bear's flesh, to hoe, and take, and dig, and reap. She must. also be able to skin rabbits, and clean pipes. Principals only «treated with. Apply front 10 to 12.— N.‘ B. The Squaw must have been vaccinated."

No. II. "Pa-tan-na-quet-a-wcr-be—-the Driving Cloud. The advertiser is the War Chief, aged 5!. of a remark- ably placable ahd‘ humourous disposition. He has no objection to treat with a young English lady, and will, ori'a'marrittge settlement, secure to her his scalps. The young lady must have been tenderly and affectionately br'oug‘ht uh, as she will have to carry the Wigwam poles of the ,Driving Cloud upon all journeys. She must bring a sufficient income to keep her husband in tobac- co, rum, and laziness. English securities preferred ; no holder of Pennsylvanian bonds will be treated with."

No. III. “ We-nish-kaswea-be—Fly Gull and Heredi- tary Chief, is open tothe offers of the ladies of England. Having inherited his dignity, not won it by any deeds or virtues of his own, advertisers are confidently referred .to the sz'bbeway Peerage, 4 to. The birth of the Fly- ing Gull will not allow him to treat with anybody below ‘a baroriet's daughter.

Gishoe-gosh-c-gliee, the Moonlight Night, and Sahara, Tobacco, in the most unbliishing manner, also forwarded their advertisements; but, as Punch discovered them to be both married men, with their wives here with them, he, with his known devotion to the proprieties, has, of course, refused to insert any such invitations to the con- nubial state.

In this most alarming and dangerpus state his Medical Man informed him “that he could not possibly 11118.1"??? than two days longer ! .I" Mr. Robinson, upon hearing this, in- slnntly dismissed his DOCTOR. and had rect‘turse clone to the wonderful efficacy anOLI.OWAY’S PILLS, which not only Isaved his life, ut likewise effectually expelled-the writer from the system, zirI'Clirestored him, in a short space oftime; by a steady
