Ek eturSi Ol sSeParGy who Started
dOr pixies Peuk.

A party of Pike, ~ Peak emigl ants. COM,
.sisting of Aaron Davis, Daniel Skinner,
Jonah Robinson, and Jacob Wilt, from
! Gallipolis, Ohio, returned to this city yes
terday morning, having heen Ms far as
Fort Kearney, on their way 10 Pixies Peak.
They started in March last, together with
number of others from Meigs county,
with Che attention of trying tlIeirfortunes'
in Che,new ElIQoradp. They prQcpredTa
good outfit, with cattle and q wagon, and
journeyed as far as the Fort, and were sat-
ished without further Investigations.
While on their way from Leavehworth,
they frequently met returning parties Of
emigrants, many OF whom have gone clear
through the route, and others that had
been induced to return by the discoura-
ging accounts given them, by those who
had seen theientire animal tusks and all.
AT the Fort, Mr.. Davis party found about
one thousand persons, large number Of
whom had tried their fortunes in the
mines, and bad come back without gold,
but with an, abundance! of rags, and bwith
an appe lite that bordered on starvation
Many of them. stated to the party from
Gallipolis that they had offered their ser
vices in digging for one meal of Yictuals
per day, and were turned away! al
The largest amount of gold which Mr..
Davis and his friends saw in possession
of any one returning emigrant, WAS tDo
dollars! But few had even this small
sum. Some of Them had been at Pixies
! Peak all w:nterI and had begged their way
back. as far as Fort Kearuey, and were
making their way to the States as rapidly
las opportunity offered. 1t was estimated
Ecr "A hon = av,
grants had passed that point on their re-
turn trip. Probably rs many more have
come back by way of the two other routes
A number, of families were at Fort
Kearney. most of whom would return to
the States. But few, if any, women or
children, had gone beyond that point. ex-
cept those who had gone on to California.
Mr.. Davis left at the Fort, Mr.. Stllman,
! wife and family, from this city. who bad
about concluded to cross the plains to CAL
ifornia. Mr.. S. was well equipped for the
Journey, having four or five OK teams, a
span OF horses, wagons, and q very good
supply Of provisions, .....- .,....
r. The party who arrived yesterday morn
| ing, left the Fort on the 18th of last
month At Omaha City, Nebraska Terri
tory, they sold their wagon, for which
they paid $50, on their way out, for
s 20, and their oxen for. twenty y6ve per
| cent. less than cost. The expense OF
the trip has been about $500 to each
man, for which they bad mary piece
of gold to show. They report the Meigs
county emigrants on their way back.
They saw the tail of "the elephant"
only, and had no desire to see the, en-
tire animal. They unitedly concur in
the opinion that there is more gold in
few acres of the rich lands OF Ohio,
than in all Pixies Peak, and requires
less hardship to "pick," pan aud

Eg-fn a letter from Mr.. D. A. Russell.

EY-1 In letter from Mr.. d. A. Russell,
late of Downington, in this county, dated
Leavenworth. May 97, he describes the
sufferings of Pixies Peak emigrants to be
intense. and gives the flowing account
as related to him by returned emigrant:
81 left Leaven worth last March and ar
rived in the MINES on the 1stl of April;
prospected about month, and made about
ten cents per day. The most L heard of
being made among the miners was thirteen
cents per day. On my way home saw
men dead lying by the roadside, supposed
to have died from stai vation." And adds:
"Hundreds are daily returning from the
mines, and selling their teams for just
enough to take them home. Emigrants
are threatening Leavenworth and Atchison
upon the supposition that the favorable
stories with regard to The mines were ma
tured at these places for the purpose of
speculating off the emigrants. We are
daily TX rrcting civil war

"What's ina Name!o

Coming up the river few days since,
an original Irishman was on board the
steamer-one Of those witty genial fellows
who are never at ease only when they are
keeping those around them in the best of
humor-and among the many rich notes
he passed current was one which will "do
to publish. Our whilom Yorick had
inquired the name of every place along
up, and had passed his Judgment in his
own peculiar way, to the infinite delight
of those around him, on the scenery and
prospects of the country, often comparing
them with places in and about Tyrone,
Bantry, Cork, Drogheda, &c., "at home"
informing them, by the way, that he was
member of the great O'Regan family,
and descended from q long line of illus.
trious "aunt's-sisters;" when, on nearing
Albany, the steamer Oregon hove in sight
Instantly he exclaimed "O-r-e-g-a-n
ORegan; oh, be jabers! not four weeks in
the counthry yet and sthameboat christ
ened afther me!' 1t is needless to say
what followed.-[Troy Times.

Mrs. Partington on Crlnollne.

"Well, what on earth are you doing
now?" said Mrs. Partington, with tone
Of anxiety in her voice; and large spoon
in her hand, as Lion rushed into the
kitchen, followed by Ike. The dog was
almost covered up with thick, coarse
coffee bag, and, in perfect sympathy with
Ike, who was laughing tremendously, he
wagged his caudality as if he liked the
fun. "What upon earth are you doing
nowY was question that called for an
answer; and Lion looked up into the old
lady's face with his mouth open and his
eyes glistening, as much as to say, "Look
at me, Mistress p, for am all dressed
up, you see." But he didn' say anything.
"Thats s a crinoline, Aunt" said Ike, don't
you think it's very overcoming? eyes,
declare" said she; II think it comes over
him a good deal, but you had better take
it off, for it makes him look very ridicu-
lous." 'Its all the fashion" said Ike.
"All the fddlestickp' replied she; "and
how should l look in the fashion, all
hooped up like wash tub? Shouldn't |
look well? No, dear, no. don't want
to pretend to be more than / really am;
and if haven't been made so unanimous
rs some, don't want to cast no reflections
on heaven for not making me no larger,
by rigging on artificial supportions. 1t
used to be the remark of Elder Stick that
every tub should stand on its own bottom
and want to see folks just as they are.
And now, what are you at?' cried she,
breaking off in her subject shorter than
pic-crust and well she might, for Lion
was parading the floor in great glee, with
one of the DANES night-caps on his head,
tied snugly under the chin, with great
complacency "Dear Inc" said she drop.
ping into chair. am afraid your pre-
domination will not be good one, if YOU
go on so and little boys who tease their
aunts dontgo to heaven, by great sight"
She was much subdued by this, and
taking advantage of her momentary ab.
straction and three doughnuts, he whis.
tied for Lion, and went out to play.
