FRANKLIN at the Flreside.

Never have | known such Preside
companion as he was, both as statesman
and a philosopher; he never shone in a
light more winning, than when he was seen
in the domestic circle. 1t was once my
good fortune to pass two or three weeks
with him at the house Of gentleman in
Pennsylvania, and we were confined to the
house during tina whole of that time by the
unremitling constancy and depth Of the
snow. But confinement could not be felt
where DR.. Franklinwas an inmate. His
cheerfllness and his colloquial powers
spread around him a perpetual spring.
Of Franklin no one ever became tired.
There was no ambition Of eloquence, no
effort to shine in anything which made
any demand either upon your allegiance
or your admiration.
His manner was just as unaffected as
infancy. 1t was natures spell. He talk
ed like an old patriarch, and his plainness
and simplicity put you at once at your ease,
and gave you the full and free possession
and use Of all your faculties.
His thoughts were Of character to
shine by their own light, without any ad.
ventitious aid. They required only medi-
urn of vision, like pure and simple style to
exhibit in the highest advantage their
native radiance and beauty. His cheer
fllness was unremitting. 1t seer7ed to be
as much the systematic and salutsry e1er.
else of the mind, as Of it superior organ
ization. His wit was Of the first order.
1t did not show itself merely in occasional
corruscations. but, without any effort or
force on his part, it shed a constant stream
Of the purest light over the whole Of his
discourse.
Whether in company with commoners
or mobiles, he was always the same plain
man, always most perfectly at his ease.
his faculties in full play, and the full orbit
Of his genus forever clear and I'm clouded
and the stores Of mind were inexhausti.
ble. He had commenced his life with an
attention 50 vigilant, that nothing had es'
}caped his observation, and every incident
turned to advantage. His youth had moi
been wasted in idleness, nor overcast BY
intemperance. He had been all his life q
close and deep reader, as well as thinker
and by force Of his own powers had
wrought up the raw materials which he
had gathered from books with such ex'
quisite skill and felicity, that he had added
hundred fold to their original value, and
Justly made them his own.-- William Wirt

~ 4 correspondent of the Nebraskian,
printed at Omaha City, on the Missouri,
opposite to Council Bluffs, writes that an
exploring party to which he was attached
saw immense numbers Of buffalo between
Ash Hollow and Loupe Fork. The val
lev and the hills were black with them.
On the night Of the 22d June, on the bank
Of a creek in a narrow valley, about IL
o'clock they were alarmed by the approach
Of IN immense herd Of buffalo, causing
ttheearth to tremble beneath their tread
as they came dashing down the valley Al
full speed. The camp CHANGED to be di
rectly in the path through which this army
Of shaggy quadrupeds were making thei'
rapid course, and it was with extreme
difficulty-by the discharging Of rifles
and revolvers in quick succession, tina
our travellers succeeded in turning then
from their direct course, thus saving thei'
horses. They succeeded in shooting Sc
veral as they passed, among which was
fine fat yeariing, some choice outlets which
served them as food on their journey
Some idea may be formed OF the numbe
Of buffalo in this vast herd from the fac
that, though running at full speed, the.
were at least an hour in passing tn
camp.
