wonderful body Of water Of any magnitude
OH the globe is Yellowstone Lake. LIS snr-

hot springs and streams by which it is fed.

INDIAN BUFFALO HUNT The great Indian
buffalo hunt, recently announced by us TO
take place, we learn from correspondent at
the Agency, has SO far been very successful.
Striking off into the broad, boundless range
lying betweenThe Missouri and the Yellow
stone rivers. to the east Of the Muscleshall,
In the vicinity of what are called the Lakes,
they came upon vast herds of buffalo, litsr-
ally covering the earth, and the slaughter
sbegan. Staying right and left TO their hearts
content, they are now temporarily resting
from the chase, TO sing theif deeds of daring
and feast on their choicest meats. What with
slaughter, preparing meat making robes,
Teasing and song tho red man is in his glory.
The buffalo are moving toward the southeast.
How long the hunters viii remain in the
field is uncertain, bat fifteen lodges OF Ban
nacks are now on the return to the Crow
Agency. Upon going out en- their hunt the
Indians sent out several of their young men
as scouts, to look out for Sioux. and, when
near the Big Horn, they struck a trail leading
toward Tongue river, which they followed
some distance; saw no Indians, but found
one sick horse on the way.
