Amalgamation in Missouri. Hon. Levi Gilmore, one of the justices of the Supreme Court, has lately married an Indian princess, who was brought up in the family of Theodore Davis, Esq., of Gibson's Creek, Missouri. The lady is the daughter of the late Fox chief named Ke-ok-ket-uk, The Black Bear. Mr. Davis received her into his family in 1823, when she was but 7 years old—the old chief requesting that he would take her to the white settlements and learn her the art of talking on paper. Her father soon after died, and she became such a favorite in Mr. Davis's family that they could not consent to have her return among the savages. Mr. Davis was at the time a rich Indian trader, and having no daughter of his own, he sent Nodin (as she was called) to New Jersey among his friends, where she received a superior education. She is said to be a witty, agreeable and accomplished lady, and very beautiful. She speaks the French fluently, has a good musical voice, and is withal, as unlike an Indian girl as though she had been imported from among the far-famed Andalusian beauties.—St. Louis Observer.
