BUFFALO RIVER.
Tho Deer HINT.

At daylight the horn of tho DRIVERS
wakes up the hunters from Maury, and
| they get up from the ground, feeling
| like AntRus of old, stronger by contact
with their mother earth. A hasty toilet
! is made, we dip our heads in the cool
branch offspring water close by, mount
our horses, and away we go after the
Drivers, who are "tooting," and the
dogs, which are leaping and yelping,
| first at the horses heads, and then
| through the woods. We ascend, from
our camp in the river bottom, and look
| ing below, our vision las full sweep,
! and we see high, beetling bluff On one
side, tie bottom stretching out on the
other, and the river running swift and
clear between. As our eye takes in the
long range of the bluff, we notice three
slight depressions in the dark green TO-
liage of the tree tops. These are
THE DEER STANDS,
The path the fleet footed animals travel
when they are chased by huntsmen and
hounds, and desire to escape to the hills
that lie across the river, is down one of
these passes, or stands, at each of which
a man is stationed, with loaded guns.
THE DRIVE AND THE CHASE.
Harkl the dogs have started deer,
and are making the woods on the top of
the bluff ring with the music Sweeter to
the huntsman's ear than Jenny Lind's
sweetest melodies. Here comes the
deer, Gathering down the ridge, twenty
feet at jump, right in front OF Bob's
stand. Keep perfectly still, Bob, he has
not "winded" you yet. Now he Is op-
posite Bob, and has scented him for tho
first time; he halts for a second. Now is
your time, Bob; shoot to hit him behind
thefore shoulder. Snap goes the cap;
try another, Bob. Missed again, and he
has wheeled as quick as the flash of
gun, and away he goes, in the direction
of another stand, the dogs in null cry"
after him. Bang! goes Toms right bar
lei; bangi goes his let, and the antlered
monarch OF the woods jumps his last
jump down the steep bluff, right into
the river. The dogs are called off, all
the hunters make for where the last
shot was fired, and the drive is over.
The deer is taken to camps on a horse,
and dressed and cut up, and placed on
forked sticks, over the camp fire. We
cut great streaks of venison, the choicest
and juiciest, put pieces of middIings of
bacon on top, and then pepper and salt,
and broil and eat, and eat and broil, un-
til our town appetites, sharpened by the
exciting chase, are appeased, and we lie
down and take nap. On the cool
ledge, where the water drips through the
moss and ferns, we sleep that sound,
balmy sleep, natures sweet restorer,"
which no fine couch, or velvet cushion, or
downy pillow, can bring TO the million
aire III the heated city.
