Two boys, about 16 and 17 years of age from the Potawatamie tribe of Indians, have been sent to Vermont, to receive a medical education at the institution in Castleton. Their names are Sosivay and Canauda, in their native language, but they have received the English names of Francis Barren and Thomas Baldwin. They have been for four years at Mr. McCoy's school in Indiana, where they have made good proficiency. It will require but little more than 100 dollars annually to support them both; and this amount is expected to be raised by subscriptions in the vicinity.

After completing their education, they intend to return to dispense the benefits of it to their countrymen.
