We met, yesterday, y p McMil-
Ian, one Of the party Of 40 men
who started under the leadership of
Mr.. LIE. Wilson, for California some
months since, with drove Of 240O
bccves, who has just returned with
out making tho trip" Things
went on swimmingly with tn dro-
vers antil they arrived on the Smo-
Ky Hill road and their troubles
began. Bands Of Indians on the
war path, their faces painted in a
bloody style, their heads shaved
with the exception Of Il single tuft
would come upon them armed with
huge bows, ready TO- make mince-
meat of them, but were always
bought off By present Of four or
five beevcs. They reached Alkaline
Station on tho Pacific Railroad, with
about 1000 Of the number started
with, and shipped them through to
Chicago, Illinois. Our informant
tells us that numerous parties start
ed with large drovcs from the State,
with the intention of driving thro'
to Idaho, California and the Terri
tories, but the fates opposing, wero
preventing from damages by the In
dian war. There were great many
agents of companies in the North
ern cities all along the line OF the
Pacific Railroad, buying up beeves
as fast as they came in There
were droves, amounting in all to
about $4,000 at, AbcIinc Station
when Wilson's pah y arrived. The
adventures of this party in the In
dian country surrounded by savages
and not knowing at what moment
they would Ego up" would no doubt
fill a volume abounding in all that
is romantic and wild = Telegraph.

The formal transfer aud delivery
of Russian America to the United
States Government took place on
I tho 10th OF November, Ly Captain
Fcstrchouir Acting Commissioners
on behalf OF tho Russian Govern
ment, and Major General RosSeau,
on behalf Of the United States,
I At O'Clock l.. u, Il battalion Of l..
I S. troops, under command Of Major
Charles ., Wood, of tho 9th lEgln-
try, was drawn up in line in trout
Of the Governors residence, where
the transfer took place, By 800 Il
large concourso Of people had rs.
scmblcd, comprising Americans,
Russians of all Glasses, Crcolcs and
Indians, all eager witnesses Of the.
/ C. rcmonics.
Precisely at the last named hour
the Russian forts and feet fired sa-
lutcs in honor of the lowering of
the Russian flag; but the would not
come down. In lowering it tore its
entire width close BY the halyards,
and foatcd from tho cross-trces,
some forty feet from the ground
Three Russian sailors then attempt
cd to ascend the inch-and-a.half
guy ropes supporting the flag staff,
but each failed to reach his national
emblem. A fourth asccndcd in II
boatswain's ehpir, seized the flag,
and threw it IN 4 direction directly
beneath him, but the motion oe the
wind carried it off, ard caused sen
sation in every heart.
Five minutes after the lowering
Of the Russian flag, the stars AMI
stripes went gracefully up, floating
handsomely and free, Mr.. George Il.
Rosseau having the honor of fling
ing the flag to the breeze, the U. s.
steamers Ossipc ard Rcsaca at the
same time honoring tho event by
firing salptca.
AS the Russian flag was lowered
Capt. Pcstrechoff stcpltct forward
and addressed Gcacral Rosscau rs
follows
GENERAL: As Commissioner Of
his Imperial Majesty, the Emperor
Of Russia, | row transfer and deliv
er the Territory ofRusSian America,
cedcd by his Majesty to the United
States.
Gen. Rosscau, in response, as the
American flag assembled, said:
CAPTAIN; As Commissioner GA
behalf OF the United States Gov
ernmcnt, receive and accept the
same accordingly.
The Commissioners spoke in n
tone of common conversation, and
were only heard by Gov. Makosatoff,
Gen. Jeff. C. Davis, Capt Cuskol,
and few others who formed the
group.
Several ladies witnessed the ccrc-
monies, among them Princess Ma
kesatot& Mrs. Gen. Davis, and Mrs,
Maj. Wood. The Princess wept AL
dibIy as the Russian flag went down.
Tho transfer was concluded in II
purely diplomatic and busincss-like
manner, neither boqgass nor speech
making followed. The entire trans
action was concluded in Il few hours,
the Ossipcc, with the Commissioner
on board, steaming into the harbor
at | l O'Clock in the forenoon, and at
4 o'clock in the afternoon dozetf

but powerful remedy. His health was restored
in q very short time. and no return Of the dis
ease has been apprehended, for all the symptoms
quickly disappeared, and his present weight ID
more than two hundred pounds.
Since his recovery, he has devoted his atten
ton exclusively to the cure Of Consumption and
the diseases which are usually complicated with
it, and the cures effected by his medicines have
been very numerous and truly wonderful DIT
SCHRNcK makes professional visits TO several 0i
the larger cities weekly, where he has large
concourse of patients and it is truly astonishing
to see poor consumptives that have TO be lifted
ont of their carriages, and In few months
healthy, robust persons. DIR SCHENCkS PuL,
MONIC SYRUP, SEAWEED TONIC, and
MANDRAKE PILLS are generally all required
In curing Consumption. Full directions accom-
pany each. 40 that any one can take them with

lei II is best to see him. He gives advice free
but for n thorough examination with his Respir.

Consumption Durable by DIR.
ScFpnck's Medicines.

TO CURE CONSUMPTION, the system
must be prepared, so that the lungs will heal.
To accomplish this, the liver and Stomach must
first be cle.nsed and an appetite created for
good, wholesome food which, by these medi-
cines will be digested properly, and good heal
thy blood made thus building mp the constitu-
ton. SCHENCKS MANDRAKE PILLS
cleanse the stomach of all bilious or mucous nc
cumuations, and, by nsing the Sea Weed Tonic
in connection. the appetite is restored.
SCHENCK'S PUlMONIC SYRUP is nutri.
cious as well as medicinal, and, by using the
three remedies all impurities are expelled from
the system, and good, wholesome blood made.
which viii repel all disease. If patients will
take these medicines according TO directions,
Consumption, very frequently in its last stage.
Yields readily To their action. Take the Pills ire
auently, to cleanse the liver and stomach. 1t
does not follow that because the bowels are not
costive they are not required, for sometimes in
diarrhoea they are necessary. The stomach
must be kept healthy. and an appetite created TO
allow the Iulmonic Syrup to act on the respi-
ratory organs properly, and allay any irritation.
Then all that is required to perform pcrma'
ncnt cure is. to prevent taking cold. Exercise

New Me,h.A OF Curing Meat.

Col. William C. Alberger, of Buffalo,
according to the Commercial, has discov-
cred new method of sailing meat. 1t
has been in operation for several months
in that city, in the slaughter-house of
Messrs. Alberger, and is considered COM
pletely successful. The process ispat-
ented, and it is understood to apply to
cattle and hogs. A hog, for instance, is
knocked down with blow ON the head,
it is brought to the edge Of the scalding
vat, laid on its back, and the breast
bone opened SO as to expose the heart,
which il pierced, and the arterial blood
flows out. Then he is scalded, cleaned
and removed to the injecting table, over
which is reservoir of strong Geld brine,
from which are lead rubber tubes ter
minatins in small metallic points. One
of these is inserted in the left ventricle
of the heart, and tied, when the brine
enters the channels of circulation, driv-
ing what blood remains before it, out of
the heart again. The process is COM
pleted when blood no longer flows.
The time required is from eight to ten
minutes, when the animal is cut up,
sufficiently sailed. 1t is claimed that
this method is superior to any other;
and that in countries where meat will
not take salt, it now will be forced to
receive il

Hank Faiiure-Death OF the Fresi
dent OF the Bank.

New YORK, Jan. 2l.-Meyer * Co.,
brokers, failed to-day. Their account
at bank shows it TO be overdrawu to the
amount of S2l9,000. The bank has a
reserve of over $500, 600. The assets OF
defaulting firm are reported to be ac-
cessible, which would cover the losses
TO various parties by the failure. Mr..
Meyer came here three years ago from
Chicago. His house has been in good
repute its business being said to have
reached $500, 700 week. John +. yell
verton, President of the bank named,
died last night of appoplexy. 1t seems
that on yesterday an application was
made to the paying teller to certify to
some checks of Meyer & Co., but as the
amounts were large aud there were no
deposits of the firm in bank, that officer
declined to assume the responsibility.
Mr.. Yelverton was appealed to, and
having the utmost confidence that his
deposits would be promptly made TO
meet the checks, certified to them. The
loss sustained by the bank so worked
on Mr.. Yelverton's mind as to occasion
his death.
