WELL Done On Christmas E. NJ.
Tobey, Esq In company with@a>party of
gentlemen, went in the direction of Pleas
ant Lake deer hunting. When arriving
at their destination, each one took his own
route, and hunted on his individual re-
spons,bility. Before long the crack of
MIR. Tobey's rife told that "something
was up" and those who soon drew near,
found him standing over large fine deer,
the result of his shot. AS this was the
first time Mr.. 7. had ever been hunting,
his success was eminent; especially when
we consider that he was the only one of
the party whose labors met with like
reward.
TRooPs.-Company K, Of the 9th Min
nesota regiment, usually known as the
Marshall Guards, arrived in this city on
Friday evening last from Fort Ripley
They were mounted, and en- route to Chip
pewa Lake. -, -.
The FEsT1vAL.-On Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings of last week met
with very CRAFTY ing success. The wealth
er but even then the attendance both. even
ings was large. The supper was excel
lent, with plenty of it. On Wednesday
evening the presents were given to the Sab
bath School children.
GERMAN BALL.-On New Years Eve,
a German Ball was given at Brokers Hall
under the management Of Mr.. R4iem.-
1t passed of, we learn, quite pleasantly.
Acc1DENr.-On Friday forenoon as Mr.:
Reuben Corbett, with his two elder sis
ters, MIR. j. l.. Wilson, and Mrs. j. P.
Wilson, was driving out of town on the
road to Richmond, the sleigh, owing to
the icy condition of the roads, swung to
one side in going down slight deelvity,
struck a small stump and overturned i'm
All were injured to some ex-
tent, though Mr.. Corbctt quite severely.
The horses taking fright ran for some dis
lance, and were badly cut aud bruised.
FROM THE GOLD M1NEs.-By letter
received few days since from J. r. Ty-
sen, who, as our citizens will remember,
started in July last for the Gold Mines
with E. NJ. Strong, of tbi. place, boil be-
ing with Capt. Fisk's Protective Corps,
we learn that he is safe at home in New
York city. He says that at Fort Benton
Mr.. Strong and himself disposed of their
stock to very good advantage. After leav
ing the Fort they daily met parties re-
turning from the mines with the most
doleful accounts. Just before reaching
Sun River they found a party observer :
teen on their way back, and with these
Mr.. T. returned. They came down the
Missouri in Mackinaw boat, and from
their numbers escaped the Sioux and AS
siniboins, who were very hostile in that
region. Ho did not say what direction
Mr. Strong took-whether continuing to
the mines or returning with this party.
