Pixies Peak...The Umbiassed State.
Ment ~ Man and WiGe..sAkemarkas

=
DEAR FATHER Me and my wife left the old
Sucker State on the FIRST Of last September, and
arrived here right on Pixies Peak, on the l7th
Of the same month, being just lit days on the
road. Short trip say you. But the route trav-
eled was not by the Arkansas, Heither that Of
the Platte, but just between the two. Uniting
the advantages of each, without the disadvan-
tagss OF either.
The route was never travelled till me and my
wife passed along; it is much better and much
nearer; it turns neither to the right nor to the
left, but goes strait along, right - the mires
and furnishes an abundance Of grass. wood and
water; 90 nutritious is the grass, that when me
ard my vile got here, our cattle were butter
fat At the urgent request Of the hslf-stsrved
miners me and my wife killed them, and sold
the shanks at thirty-three and one eighth cents
per pound; the Aeshy pieces we swapt for gold
nuggets, pound tor pound. But ain't We rich
Tell all our folks to come my route; no difficult
ty in finding it, as me and my wife took pains
to blaze all the trees. We think Of putting up
q toll gate, my wife can tend while work in
the mines. There is truth in all the exaggera.
ted accounts about gold Just now my young
est child Ia yearliDg) brings in . shirt tail full
Of very rich dirt, which my wife will wash and
send you the yield. supply me and my vile
with meat BY my gun. Bsffalo, bear, deer and
antelope are in abundance; yesterday killed an
antelope 800 yards. A gun will kill further here
than any place ever saw. Strange as it may
appear, right on the peak and close TO our house
there is = little lake filed with honey, few
yards from this isa gushing spring Of pure milk |!
There is . peculiar tree here, the fruit of which
is better than the best buckw wheat cakes you
ever saw. My wife thinks she has discovered
indications Of soap mine. Tom Trousers has
discovered rosin mine; and Joe Boote is ma
king preparations to manufacture turpentine.-
The boys are all well; have 30 or 100 lbs. Of
gold which intend sending back to my wfea
poor connections by the first express; sickness
and sorrow, pain and death ara strangers here.
When me and my wife left Punkin Hollow, in
Illinois, che was poor little scrawny, wasp
waist creature, weighing s. pounds; nov she
weighs lao, and looks like huge molasses
hogshead The color Of my wife's skin has
changed to q deep yellow. This, take as an in
dcation Of the abundance of gold.
Ny wife stops me to say the shirt tail Of earth
was not very rich, only yielding $l5 80 cents .

ters are fine looking girls.

SUSPICION OF TERRIBLE CRIME.-A servant

Gently in the employ of . wealthy downtown
merchant, suddenly disappeared, and her
friends were unable to obtain any trace Of her.
A few days since it transpired that girl had
been sent to the Brooklyn Hospital, where she
died about half an hour after her admissions
The post mortem examination revealed the fact
that she had just been subjected to a surgical
operation for procuring an abortion. The mer-
chant with whom the missing girl lived, has :
n arried daughter with whom he has 4 standing
quarrel, and Calharine was her intimate friend,
and this daughter states that little while be-
fore Catharine's disappearance, she told her the
merchant had seduced her, and that measures
would be taken to prevent the Disgrace. II 10

was the missing Catharine. The merchant wss
arrested, but allowed TO 60 on parole, after he

fRB 0oLD REoIoNs.-The following state
ments copcefping tue new gold region, received
through Bishop Lee, will be read with interest.
We copy from the Davenport Gasette Of the
24th:
Bishop Lee, who, In addition 70 his charge Of
the Diocese Of lows, has temporary Episcopal
oversight Of Nebraska, has recently been cor
responding with the q. s. Chaplain at Fort Lar
annie, sho is an Episcopal clergyman, in regard

some portions Of which are in Nebraska. The
Bishop has just received communication from
the Chaplain in which he says that be regards
''the whole concern (cold humbugl a. wild
speculation and wicked deception.n He further
says that the quantity Of gold, although Of the
purest quality, iseof inconsiderable amount,
scattered in fakes over the whole prairie, and
afording but small remuneration for a great
deal Of labor.
We have this information directly from
Bishop Lee, and We do not doubt that the testi-
mony Of the Chaplain gives the true state Of
the case. It ID really sorrowful to see so many
persons, Of al classes and pursuits, rushing to
the so-called "gold regions" That ninety-hine
out Of hundred will be disappointed, is almost
. positive certainty.
