LARGE ARRIVALS OF STocK. The
Butte Record of the 9th inst, speaking
Of the emigration, says:
s.There has been a very large amount
Of stock through on this route the pres
ent season. During last week, twelve
droves of cattle and horses arrived from
the plains. One drove contained seven
hundred head Of stock in very fair con-
dition. The balance of the droves con-
tanned from one to four hundred head
each. During the present week we have
not noticed the number of droves pass
ing, bot think they will not fall far short
Of the number mentioned above. Had
we kept correct list Of the amount Of
stock arriving on this route, il would
have spoken volumes in its favor. Asst
is, ten thousand head is low estimate
Of the stock that has passed this point up
to the present time. Two or three
droves day are still arriving, aud We
doubt not, many are remaining in II .
valleys above, recruiting their stock

"Mr. Damon if elected, will endeav-

THE WITCH WIFE.

When q boy, | occasionally met at house of
a relative in an adjoining town, stout, red-nos-
ed old farmer Of the neghborhood. A fine tab
leau he made of a winters evening, in the red
light Of birch log fire, as ho sat for hours
watching its progress with the sleepy, halfshut
eyes, changing his position only to reach the
cider mug on the shelf near him Although he
seldom opened his lips save to assent to some re-
mark of his host, or to answer direct question,
vet at times, when the cider mug got the better
of his taciturnity, he would amase us with in.
teresting details of his early experiences in tho
"Ohio Country"
There was, however, one chapter in these ex-
periences which he usually held in reserve, and
with which "the stranger intermeddled moi"
He was not willing to run the risk of hearing
that which to him was very frighttul reality
turned into ridiculs by scefers and unbelievers.
The substance of it, as received il from one OF
his neighbors, forms as clever tale of witch
craft as modern times have produced.
1t seems that when quite young man ne lett
the homestead and strolling westward worked
his way from place to place until he found HIM
self in ono of the French settlements on the
Ohio river. Here he procured employment on
the farm of widow; and being very smart,
active fellow, and proving highly serviceable in
his department, he rapidly gained favor in the
eyes of his employer, Ere long, contrary to

SrlKINo GuNs.--A correspondent Of the Lon
don Morning Herald thus explains the mode Of
spiking guns and describes the spikes
"The spikes are about four inches long, and
of the dimensions of tobacco pipe; the head
fat; a barb at the point acts as spring, which
is naturally pressed to the shaft upon being fore
ed into the touch-hole. Upou reaching the
chamber of the gun, it resumes its position,
and it is impossible to withdraw it. It..can on
ly be got out by drilling, no easy task, us they
are made of the hardest steel, and being also
loose in the touch-hole, there is much difficulty
in making drill bite as eaectually as it should
do. Its application is the work of moment,
single tap on the fat head with the palm Of
the hand sulhcing. This can be easily done,
oven if it be ever SO dark"

In the superb new work sooa to be issued by
the Appleton, under the title of " The Repub-

on interesting letter from Mr. Jefferson to his
eldest daughter, addressed to her when she was
at school, in Philadelphia This daughter was
afterwards married to the Hon. Thomas Mann
Randolph, of Tuckahoc, who became Governor
Of Virginia DR.. Grisworld says of her
"Martha jefferson was bonn On the twenty
seventh of September, l772 and was therefore
now little more than seventeen years Of age.
John Randolph said she was the sweetest
young creature in Virginia > Mrs. Adams, to
whose care she had been intrusted some time IN
Paris, refers to her with the most afectonate
expressions; and Mrs. Smiti,, the daughter Of
Mrs Adams, says, delicacy and sonsibility are
read in her every feature, ard her manners are
in unison with all that is amlablc and lovely
While Miss Jefferson, in 1888, was at school in
Philadel plia boarding. with Mrs. frist, (grand-
mother Of Mr.. Nicholas P. Trist, who is now
the Husband OF the granddaughter of Mr.. JEFF
