The PRAIRIE Doc In Cap, Ma,cy's
Explorations OF the Red River of Lou
isiana, are given some interesting facts
about that singular animal, the prairie
dog He says:-
Passing through these dog villages,
the little animals are seen in countless
numbers, sitting at the entrance of their
subterranean dwellings, presenting so
much appearance of stumps Of small
trees, and 80 incesscent is the clatter Of
their barking that it requires but little
effort OF the imagination to fancy ones
self surrounded with the busy hum of a
ety. The immense number of auimals
in some of these towns, may be coDjec-
tured from the large space they some
times cover Capt. Marcy passed one
OF these towns, twenty-five miles in length
and supposiug it to be as large in other
directions it would embrace an area OF
six hundred and twenty FIVE square miles
of eight hundred and ninety-,ix thous
and acres Estimating the holes TWEEN
ty yards apart, the usual distance, and
each dwelling occupied by four or FIVE
dogs, the whole population Of this tract
would be in round numbers, forty millions
Of days. The food of these animals COP
sistS principally of a coarse wiry grass,
which grows abundantly on elevated
plains, often many miles from any water
which does not seem necessary to their
existance Bbout the last OF October,
the prairie dog carefully closes all the
passages to his habiia'ion, and turns in
for long nap. He keeps housed until
the warm days of spring, when he re-
moves the obstructions in front of his
door, and emerges full Of life, finn aud
frolic. The rattlesnakc is often an 10.
mate of their dwellings, and sometimes
preys on them when hungry! Some
asserts, however, that the serpent never
molests his tiny host, on what ground We
do not know.

under the terrible prosecutions Masons
were compelled to undergo aud the fiery
osdcal they bad to 60 through. During
the time Of trial the members of St
johns stood 6rm and unshaken in thei,
adherence to the principles Of the Lodg,
though at one time vote was pass ed tt
surrender the Charter. But a worthy
brother determined that the lodge shoulc
remain iutaot, aud secretly took the
charter, and retained it seven years, til
the storm had passed and the Lodg'
could again resume its work.
The Dumbrr of the members of the
Order present is estimated at l 800.
