HAVANA, Jan. 8.
Captain-General Lersundi, held a.
grand review, to-day, of all the troops
in and around the city. The display
was very fine, and was witnessed by
large crowds of citizens. No news has

which it was expected would be made
by both Spaniards and Cubans on his
arrival took place. The ceremonies of
his reception were of formal charac-
ter, and passed off quietly. The new
Viceroy brings with him a number of
general officers and civil employees. He

Indians Mt n Revival.

There still lives among the Winnebogoes
an old Indian called Dandy" who was a
member of the first delegation from that
tribe that ever visited Washington city
While en- route to the National Capital the
party was detained at Galena some time
in waiting for a steamer to descend the
mississippi: and as they were strelling
about the town one day they came near 4
Methodist church, where service was being
held during the season of revival. Great
ly astonished at the first glance of this
strange novelty they hastily drew up around
the windows, and saw the house crowded
with people, many of them, under the in
fluence of the preaching, becoming intense
ly excited, some clapping their hands,
others stamping, jumping, and making
mysterious gestures and contortions of
limbs and body, while at the same ime the
entire congregation were shouting at the
highest pitch of their voiccs-all of which
was perfectly incomprchensible to the
Indians, who looked on the spectacle with
wonder and amazement, and made various
randam conjestures as to the meaning of
the unusual proceedings.
One OF them suggested that the &c Big
Medicine man" (the preacher) might be
exerting his powers of incarnation to exor-
else aud drive away bad spirits which had
got possession of the people. Another one
surmised that possibly this was big pale
faee-war-dance. And one even went so far
as to pronounce the whole company stark
raving mand. But none of their opinions
seemed to meet the concurrence of the
majority of the party until Dandy, who
had looked on with great interest for some
time, at length assumed an air of import
ancc, and exclaimed 81 have til have it;
I'll tell you what's the matteru' Then
pointing his finger to his head, he added
g WAisky too much! WHISKY too muchr'
And they all walked off in disgust, verify
believing that the good disciples of Wesley
were on 4 terrible spree.-RANCoLPH 3.

good Minnesota wheat-lands,. at last sum
mer prices of labor on the Mississippi, is
figured by Mr.. Dalrymple at fifty cents a
bushel, or ten dollars an acre. The items
OF expense per acre include stubble plough
ing, So; ssed-wheat, $50; sowing 81
cutting, 81 binding, ETC., 1926; thresh-
ing, etc, $3.50. With cheapened transpor-
tation as the West must have, Mr.. Dial
rymple thinks the average price of wheat
on the Mississippi cannot fall below dol
lar bushel.
Mr.. Dalrymple gives the following results
of his three summer recreations:
His crop from seventeen hundred acres
in 1867 harvested twenty-one bushels to the
acre, and Melted him $4,000, over and
above the entire cost of his land, plough
ing, fencing, seeding, and all the labor en-
ployed.
His crop from seventeen hundred acres
in 1868 harvested twenty-three bushels to
the acre, and Melted him $4,000 at home,
above the cost of production.
His crop from twenty hundred acres in
1869 harvested twenty-five and a half BUSH
els to the acre, and Melted him $25,0
above the cost Of raising.
Adding tho present cash value Of his
from $50, 000,) and the net profits of his
three years wheat growing exceeded $780,
600. Not a bad exhibit for young man,
who, twelve years ago, was earning his
beetle and wedges out among the gopher
wilds.
Mr.. Dalrymple is a progressionist, and is
maturing plans for.wider enterprises. He
will soon give the border Minnesotians
lesson in stock ing.-Hearth and Home.

Dance of Death.

few evenings since ball was held in
one of the halls of the city, at which large
number of the young folks were in atten-
dance. Anon the attractions of the even
ing was prize, gold ring, offered to the
lady who shoH!d outwaltz all competitors.
At 12 O'Clock tie band struck up "II Bac-
chio," and 4 full dozen competitors took
their places uron the floor, entering for the
contest. AT The expiration of twenty min
utes four of the couples gave way and took
their seats, leaving the rest twirling and
whirling in the giddy and Intoxicating
dance. One hour more there were but three
couples on the floor, and the dance went
on till another hour had passed, when from
sheer exhaustion another couple gave way,
leaving the floor to two pair of terpsichor-
can devotees. The band Of music played
and played and played, and the four fast
falling dancers danced and danced and
danced, till even those who looked upon
them grew sick and dizzy. At the end of
the fourth hour the musicians grew feeble,
and from the finger ends of the violinists
the blood trickled to the floor but still they
supplied the moving power to keep the
dancers going. The excitement grew in
tense as the fifth hour of the dance came
on, and there were those present who in
sisted on putting an end to the merry.
though reckless, quartette suicide. How
ever no interference was permitted, and
the prize dance, over the jaws of Death,
went on. After five hours and three min
utes had elapsed, one of the ladies tainted,
and her partner quickly followed her ex-
ample, and, amidst cheers, the prize was
awarded the other couple who kept the
floor. Then came summing up Of DANA
ges. The two contesting girls were higher
death than life, and had to be conveyed to
their homes-together with their partners,
who were as badly used up--in carriages,
and all have since been in a precarious con-
dition and uuder medical treatment. The
girls had to have their shoes cut from their
feet, and their limbs were swollen next
day to enormous size. The young men
will hardly recover, and the musicians suf-
fered terribly and will never again play at
terpsichorean contest. So much for fool
ishness.-PHtsburg Gazette
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1869-12-25

Fifteen men went out from here some
time since, with their wagons, arms and
ammunition, found and took plenty of
buffaloes to fill their wagons with splendid
ierked buffalo meat, and started for home.
After a short drive they saw half a dozen
few moments parley they agreed to give
them chase, thinking, though well supplied
with their flesh, they might add few hun
dred pounds to their loads.
Now, as they had seen nothing of the
Indians, they were quite courageous, and
many of them doubted if there were any
Hence they were less careful and on the
lookout than they should have been. Their
wagons were not together, and they who
were to return afoet, Joined company some
what ahead of the wagons.
One, Mr. Dixon, and his aid, were
hitching up, with his wagon completely
full of clean buffalo meat, when 10 ! a bngle
horn peals it's blast
"What is that, John?' says Dixon to
his companion. Ibid you hear that
horn ?''
Yes" says John.
They knew there was no horn in their
company. They cast their eyes upon one
of the prairie swells. and, coming full tilt,
upon their well-trained horses, was a whole
company of Indians armed to the teeth
They leapcd upon their wagon, Dixon, 4
powerful man, cutting blood at every stroke
upon the horses, steering straight for his
company. The horses, snufing the dan
ger, and feeling the terrible sting of the
lash, raced rapidly, when 10! one forward
wheel flew from the axle and down went
the wagon. Dixon, seeing it, leaped from
the wagon to his feet, unhtched the horses
instanter, sprang upon one and his COM
rade upon the other, and reached their COM
pany just in time to save their scalps.
The Indians Immediately encircled the
company, fix ed their arrows and frightened
their bows, while their chief rode up and
demanded pay for their buffaloes, as they
claimed them to be. But the company had
a courageous man among them, who
and told him to leave or he would shoot
him through, at the same time pointing
his gun directly at his breast The Indian
quailsd, retired, and Dixon and company
were safe, but minus their meat and their
wagons, which the Indians made sure to
take.

Sad and dreary, bright and CHEEKY,
April comes with sun and showers,
ct more dearly, and more CHEEKY,
Cometh May with buds and flowers.
Spring and swallows summer follows,
With her dazzling glare of noon,
And October, dun and SOBER
Wastes with blight the buds of June.
Like spring and flowers, hearts have hours
Filled with hopes that bud and bloom,
When vows are plighted to be sighted,
And pale grief nips the flowers of June.

An Evening with Dalrymple, the Great
Wheat Farmer Of the West.

| Being in the northern region of Mime
| sofa, we thought to visit Mr. Dalrymple
and his wheat-farm. We wished to see the
man who had turned over twenty hundred
acres. of prairie sod, and brought forth
forty-five thousand bushels of Minnesota
wheat. We took the afternoon train from
the little inland village of Pennington to
Hastings, twenty miles below St. Paul, on
the west bank of the Mississippi. A ten
cent ferry-ride took us over the great river
thence we cross the narrow timbcr-bottom
thence up winding ravine, and we emerge
upon the broad prairie that forms the high
delta between st. Croix and the Mississippi
Half a mile onward and we bring up before
neat story and-a-half cottage, with wings
and porticocs extending from tho side and
end A few acres of smooth prarie-lawn,
set out with trees, are enclosed with the
house, and forty acres with the stable to
the right. On all sides beyond are seen
wide pillows of dark, fresh-turned SOIL
This. we thought, must be the great Dal-
rymple farm but first we must see the
Colossus himself. A knock at little side
door was answered by a tall, slight, young
ish-looking man in slippers.
"Is Mr.. Dalrymple at home ~
"That is my name, SIR
"Mr. Olirer Dalrymple?"
Exactly So"
Our Colossus was diminished. Our i'm
aginery stif-backed, strong armed giant
was reduced to a courteous young gentle
man, "gentle as woman"
We were made at home in moment, and
before the cold had passed from our fingers
we were well under way with the story of
his Framework and wheat raisng. He had
finished his fall-ploughins, he said, of two
thousand acres the day before November
18th, and his work for the year was over
His thirty fat horses could now have a rest
until spring, and he himself would soon be
on his yearly round among his friends and
the cultivated cities of the East.

Kansas, gives the following account of a
recent buffalo hunt in that country. 1t will
