A Boston gentleman, travelling il
Europe, had his watch stolen from him il
Vienna, and offered reward equal to fifty
dollars in our money. The watch did not
appear, and, when returning toward
America, he left his name and address
and the number of his watch. A year hsi
since gone, and he gave up all hopes 0!
ever seeing it, when few days ago, his
watch came 10 him in Boston, the only
charge upon it being one of fifty cents fOl
express transportation from New York
The thief had been arrested in ViennA
the watch found upon him, and FORWARDED
by the city government of Vienna free d
charge to new York. This shows a de
sire upon the part of the authorities then
to secure the good wishes of travellers, ID
say the least.
A DARING HUNTER.-Louis Kelley Is
perhaps the most daring and successful
Indian hunter in the great West. He
travels alone, fights alone, wears CON.

around his head when out on the prairie
He is said to be graduate of q college
and halls from Virginia or South Carolina
1t is thought he was Confederate officer
He is about twenty-five years of sge
handsome, well formed and muscular
The Indians dread him as much as TIT,
ever did Kit Carson or Daniel Boone. I'll
never misses his mark. An Indian is q
good as dead the moment he draws sigh
on him. He will travel weeks at tins
through hostile Indians and never expres
a thought Of danger. Kelley is now on
trip to the headwaters of the Yellowstone
a country never yet visited by any whit
man. He is alone. He hss been KNOW
to dare dozen Indians on the open prsi
RE to fight him in a body. No Indian
will ever get within reach of his deadly
rifle.
