SOME years ago New Bedford,
Mass, had a peculiar temper
ance society, limited to thirty
members. Its existence has
just been discovered. The ad-
mission fee was S5, and one OF
the regulations was that if one
Ct the members got tight, he
should be carried home in a
wheelbarrow and pay a fine of
fifty cents. Each additional
time he was caught tight, fifty
cents more was added. As
they were a set of joval fel,
lows, the treasury was always
full.

The reason of the strange
disappearance of Samuel Hous.
ton, in the early part of his
life, when he left a lovely bride
and the governorship of Ten
nessee and exhiled himself
among the Indians for many
years, has lately been revealed.
He discovered, within a few
hours after his marriage, that
his wife did not love him, but
had been urged into the match
by an ambitious family, while
loving another man. He at
once retired from the house,
and by his subsequent exile
gave the lady a right to the di-
vorce which she obtained.

we stopped for one day to let

hind. Twenty of US camped
together; the wolves howl and
bark around our camp all
night. AT Rock Run..the hills
are high and rough; no timber
to be seen in any direction
Here was our first buffalo hunt.
There were about twenty in
sight, and about twelve of US
gavec hase. VIM. Swisher shot
one in the head, but the ball
was too light to bring him
down. After giving him two
or three ounces more lead to
carry We succeeded in getting
him down. We then skinned
and took the best of him and
left the rest to the wolves. We
are now 3S5 miles from Leav-
enworth city. We camp on
Rock Run; there was no wood
and we had to cook with buff
falo chips. Grass was
scarce and our cattle suffered
for food. Buffalo hunts had
become a daily occurrence
We left this place aud after q
drive of two days reached the
Kansas River again. There
was a small camp Of Indians
and plenty of grass at this
point. We rested two days al
this place. We were now 445
miles from starting point, al
a large spring, with more than
two hundred camped around
it, which afforded water enough
to supply all the stock and
people in Kansas. We we're
still on the Kansas River, but
it had grown to a very small
stream. In eight days we
reached Sand Greek. Here !
killed an elk which weigh
about 400 pounds. We passed
a number of prairie dog villa>
ges. We, explored one of their
holes and found it to contain
five prairie dogs, three owls
and two rattlesnakes, all ap-
pearing to live harmoniously
together.

in sight of Pixies Peak, and
found everything in panic,
and nearly every person pre-.
pairing TO return home. Pro.
visions were scarce, flour 25

cents per pound, and none to
be had at that price. Gold
was scarce, Gregory's diggings,
the best, paying but 90 cents,
while board was So 90 per day.

4 end Dis abandon r1cnt of the Governorshif
Of Tennessee only three days after mar
siage. .. i ~ e.l..
The paragraph was suggested by state
ment from the Galveston Neics, which pro-
fesscd to remove the vail from the penetrate
Of the old hcros heart by this strange mar
sative: p. l.i.
What we know about this matter is so
honorable TO him that we shall, for the
first time, put ii in print. We may pre-
mise that our Information is derived de
rec,ly from one now deceased, who, du-
ring her life had right to know what
caused that strange episode in the life OF
the great man. Governor Houstons irst
bride was Tennessee belle of surprising
beauty and of considerable social rank.
She was. If not the ai!ianced bride, at least
the sweetheart Of a reighboring gentle
man when Governor Houston sought her
hand. Her family being ambitious, forced
the match and she was married. Alter
retiring to her bridal chamber, her deport-
ment was such rs to cause him TO suspect
that, while her hand was his, her heart
was anolhers She confessed the truth
when Intercepted, and, while promising
fidelity and wifcly duty, declared herself
unable TO love him. He at once retired
from the house, leaving his bride as pure
and spotlcss us ever. He then resigned
his position and went among the Conan
ches. In due course Of time the lady
sought and obtained divorce.
Since the publication Of That article we
learn the following facts from Governor
ID. Meriwether, OF our county:
In lsj3, Gen. Houston made the follow
ing communication 10 his friend, Governor
Meriwc,her with rcque't that should
any allusion be made through the press to
the eau q which produced the separation
between himself and wife, he Gov. NJ
would make this communication pnblic.
Gen. Houston said that no living person,
except himself and wife, had any knowl-
edge OF tho cause Of their separation.
That they parted friends, and each had a
high regard for the other, and would con.
tinue 10 do so for lie. He further said
that q, the time Of separation he drew up
n statement In writing, giving the true
cause of that event. scaled up, and dcpos-
tied in the hands Of mutual friend, with
instructions TO open and publish this after
the doath Of the survivor Of the parties.
