THE BROTHER HUNTERS !;
Or, Poor TOMS Ente.

At the foot Of Ozark Mountains, where
the rocky slopes extend far into the
cultivated settlements, and no great dis
tance from the banks of the Mulberry,
which foamed and roared against the
sharp ridges Of ice with which the extra
ordinary severe winter threatened to i'm
prison it, two white hunters walked,
wrapped in their blankets, along the
stream, and seemed to be looking for a
place where they could cross 10 the other
side.
They were two powerful looking fellows
as they walked on with their rifles on their
shoulders, the elegantly fringed leg
gings, and the carefully soled moccasins
showed that they had assumed the hab>
its of the woods, and not of those Gland
hunters" who especially at that day,
had begun traversing the western part of
the State in order to find out the most
favorably situated districts, and purchase,
or a: least lay claim to them.
Bill" one of them at last said, as
he stopped, " our searching is ofno use
you see l was right; the stream is here
too wide for US to find tree lying across
it, and if l really went to work with my
little tomahawk, and felled one of the
nearest plane trees it would not be long
enough. Besides heavy storm is gath
ering behind US, and think we should
not do wrong were we to make arrange>
ments for passing this night better than
last; it will be bitterly cold"
"It's annoying, though" Bill answer
ed his brother, Grossly, "that we could
not reach the ravine over there tonight,
for, in the first place, we should find fa>
nous quarters in one of the numerous
caves, and, then, besides, 1 should have
liked to looked for bear there are sure
to be some there. The waters too cold
for us to swim across, and the storm will
not be trifing one ; so then, to work ;
here are old trees enough lying about,
and bark roof can be easily made"
"There are almost too many trees ly-
ing about" Tom replied, looking all
around him, "and those still! standing
seem to be rotten and ready to fall. /
do not much like the thought of camping
here. for you know the story father told
us once about such a place.
Nonsense u Bill said, laughing.
" Can we find better camping place I?
The little stream runs along at our feet,
there is plenty of wood close and handy,
the young trees will furnish famous poles,
and the bark there, is first rate for a roof"
Tom made no objections, the spot
looked too inviting, and they were both

How villa Goese arc Tnken.

The way they catch geese" says the
Buffalo Republican, "on the western
waters, is sufficiently wonderful, without
at all taxing the credulity of any one.-
They are fond of small and very active
eel, armed with sharp head and teeth,
whose habits insist upon its swimming
very near the surface Of the water. 1t is
very seldom the geese can get hold OF
their choice morsel, and when they do,
they have a grand jolliication over it.
This eel, the hunters use as q bait for
their geese.ships. A short time since,
two hunters went out to catch wild reese.
One laid down in the canoe with line at.
:aehed to his waist. and on the other end,
in the water, was tied the nimble, sharp
headed eel before spoken Of. The canoe
foated slowly through the marshes, and
came gradually among large flock OF
geese, and the eel swimming along close
10 the surface. One venerable bon vivant
of goose, gobbled up the eel, like a
aash also, the eel had made its way
through the body of the epicure, and 10
the goose was 'On strong Another
goose afflicted with luxurious palate,
swallowed the eel, but without any pc
culiar satisfaction, as the eel, hardly no,
ticing any obstruction, travelled through
the goose-grease' with scarcely an effort
And SO this identical eel travelled and
travelled, until seventeen geese were or
the string, and our scientific friend think
ing he had been fortunate enough, com
meDced hauling them into The boat. But
wonder Of wonders, the seventeen geese
rose upon the wing ss one goose, and be-
fore our friend Of the canoe could make q
will or say a prayer, he was lifted bodily
from the canoe, through the combined
efforts of the seventeen geese attached Il
his waist, and ere he was aware Of it, wa
thirty feet above the water. A friend o
his on shore, who saw the difficulty, ant
his rifle fortunately being loaded, shot of
the string and rescued his friend. So In
stead of wild goose. our hunter got COLI
duck ; and, although he fishes no more
for wild geese with eels, he is prepared t
affirm, asseverate or swear to the trutE
of the foregoing"
