GREELEY's BUFFALO CALcULATIoNs.-In one
of Greeley's latest letters, written during his
journey across the plains, he makes the follow
ing apparently extravagant estimate Of the
number of buffalo seen:
What strikes the stranger with the most
amazement is their immense numbers. l know
a million is great many, but ! am confident
we saw that number yesterday. Certainly all
we saw could not have stood 0n ten square miles
of ground. Often, the country for miles on
either hand seemed quite black with them. The
soil is rich, and well matted with their favOrite
grass. Yet it is all Except very little on the
creek bottoms, near the timber) eaten down
like an overtaxed sheep-pasture in dry August.
Consider that we have traversed more than one
hundred miles in width since we first struck
them. and that for the most of this distance the
buffalo have been constantly in sight, and COL
tinue for some twenty-five miles further on-be-
ing the breadth of their present range. which
has length of perhaps thousand miles, and
you have some approach to all idea of their
countless millions. doubt whether the domes
ticated horned cattle of the United States equal
the numbers while they must fall considerably
short in weight of those wild ones.

"A BOLD STROKE FOR LIFE.-Among the vic
Tins destined to the recent sacrifice at Tacubaya
Mexico, was one Col. Arrodillado, as the New
Orleans Picayuns is-informed by one who had
it from an eyewitness, was already in the
hands of the assassins, who, drawn up in line,
were About directing their pieces at him, when
he cried aloud, 80 as to be heard not only by
the, bystanders, but by others at a distance,
"Hold, hold. there, moment have q mes
sage, q revelation for the General-in-C Chief"
The tone of voice in which this announcement
was made seemed so earnest and 80 sincere that
it made instant impression upon the officer in
command, who at once suspended the execution.
No sooner, however, were the guns lowered,
than the bold man, his limbs now free, leaped
from the midst Of the crowd, cleared slight
enclosure, knocking down two soldiers in his
way, plunged into a deep ravine, and, notwith-
standing several hasty. random shots from the
party be 80 unceremoniously left, made good
Die escape with bis life.

TEE following is entirely authentic, and is
taken from the record:
"In August, 1845, Hon. William D. Stuart,
since Judge of the Supreme Court of Indiana,
was prosecuting attorney for the circuit, en-
braeing, among others, Carr county. At that
term of the Court, aud in that county, pris-
oner was put upon his trial for passing coun-
terfeit bank note The proof was direct and
clear, aud the prosecution able. The defense
made no headway at all. But the defendant
had respectable family and the jury, al
though perfectly satisfied of his guilt, were 10th
to convict him. They, therefore, returned into
Court the following verdict:
we, the jury, acquit the defendant by the
skin Of his teeth, and hope he will do SO no
more and that his Honor (the Judge) will give
him one Of his best lectures
His Honor was the celebrated Judge John
W. Wright, who was in the habit of solemnly
lecturing prisoners who were brought before
him. The defendant was lectured, as recon.
mended and it is believed that he did so nc
more At all events. he never again had to
rely on the skin of his teeth for an acquittal'

observation-disclosures the capital of So
nora, contains 10000 inhabitants. The city
itself consists of brick and adobe houses of the
usual Mexican style, but generally plastered
and painted. few are two stories high, with
fat roofs aud commonly simple exterior. They
present no striking picture when seen from one
Of the nearest hills, but the many beautiful
shade trees in their courtyards and little gar
dens, give quite a refreshing appearance to
that otherwise desolate, thirsty country. Some
Of the houses in the center of the town are
built in better taste than usual and quite a
number are elegantly fitted up inside. AL
though possessing some private houses of great
comfort and good style, we cannot say as much
for those generally termed public buildings.
The most conspicuous of these is the old mint,
where money was never coined, and which is
now used for soldiers quarters. 1t looks drea-
ry aud dimmed. grey with age and weather.
It is in perfect harmony with the decay of the
Republic. 80

A STATE WrHoUr,V VorERs. Detroit Free
Press has made the discovery that there are
now no voters in Michigan. This happens
from a blunder of the Legislature, in drafting
the Registry bill, passed at its last session. The
law provides that no perso., shall be allowed to
vote unless his name shall be daily registered
but makes no provision for registering until
October next. As the law was to take effect
Immediately upon its passage. 1t follows that all
voters are disfranchised until October.

NEURALGIA TooTHAoHE.-This complaint. just
now so prevalent, may frequently be removed
by poultice of laurel leaves. A more simple
remedy, one within the reach of most persons,
is to apply poultice of bruised horse-radish to
the part affected. 1t will not cure the disease,
which requires proper medical treatment, but
