The Locomotive Among the BuTa.
lOes.

A correspondent writing TO the At
lanta Constitution from Denver City
says
After travelling about one hundred
miles on the plains, or, as some OF the
travellers expressed it, out Of sight OF
land, we could see not only the prairie
chicken, prairie dog and prairie rabbit,
but we began to see the prairie wolf the
antelope and the buffalo. We saw but
few wolves, and not great many ante
lone but when about four hundred miles
out from Kansas City, and approaching
the western border Of the State Of Kan
sas, we could see at single view thou
sands upon thousands Of bufialoes. II
may seem strange 10 some Of your read
ers when ! state that il became neces-
sary twice for the engineer to reverse his
engine and blow on the brakes 10 pre-
vent running into immense herds Of but
falO, but il is true.
They are now moving south, and when
the train passes through herd Of them
numbering thousands, those immedi-
ately on the north side Of the road seem
10 apprehend that they are being cut OF,
and endeavor TO cross the track in spite
Of the most hideOus screams Of the en-
CINE, and when they are passed by the
engine they still run along by the side Of
the train seeking TO pass II, until the
train ontruns them, and then they pur-
sue their course.
Persons who are prepared with suit
able firearms, shoot them down as the
train dashes through them at twenty
miles per hour. Hundreds Of dead bui.
| falo. killed by passengers, are all along
the track, aud may safely say that no
highway between Atlanta and Dalton
was at any time Of the war dotted with
half as many dead horses as tho railway
is, for a hundred miles, with buffalo.

By reference to DIR. Foback's advertisement on

just introduced q new article in the line of
"Stomach Bitters." These Bitters are destined
to become very popular, from the fact that they
are genuine in every sense of tie tsrm-that is,
they derive their stimulus from tho powerful
tonic nature of the roots and herbs of which they
are composed. and hence their effect is paturai
