A UNIQUE BUFFALO HUNT.-Last Sunday,
while the citizens OF Sydney were quietly enjoy
ing the repOse afforded them by the Sabbath, a
drove Of eight buff4oes came galloping over
the rolling hills, and entered the town, and took
q spin around the streets. In less than ten
minutes the alarm had become so general that
every man, woman and child in the place were
armed with shot guns, rifles, revoivsrS drk
knives and ptchlorkS, while at the barracks
every soldier was gu duty at once, aud prepared
to meet and vanquish the foe, or die in the al
tempt. In iact, il was a question of buffalo
meat or no buffalo meat with them The enemy
was outtianked, and detachment OF one buffalo
became separated from the man body OF the
monarchS of the plains, and was driven inside
the post Then the grand hurrah began ia dead
earnest. The soldiers few around the buffalo
in the enclosure as did the gladiators OF old
around the Infatuated balls in the amphi-
theatre. Col. Dudley, the commandant of the
post acted as chief director of the thrilling sport
which lasted some time. The buffalo was 6hally
cornered and Killed, after receiving shots too
numerous to mention, and after having bomb
shell thrown down his throat and exploding.
Music, too, lent its charms to the thrilling scene
as couple oil Italian haTpers, who travel on
the Union Pacific, were engaged in drumming
their instruments during the hunt.
In the meantime the seven bufflloes in the
town were having red hot time. One of them
effected an entrance in the dining room of Rum
sey's hotel, and broke several chairs in attempt
ing TO sit down AT the table TO make a square
meal off of antelope steak. Getting his back
up at the toughness OF the steak, he overturned
a table and smashed the croekery ware lnfor-
nation had, in The meantime, been conveyed to
MIR. James Rumsey, who was out on the war
path, and he returned to turn the intruder out,
or else serve him up on the half Shell. Just as
MIR. Rumsey entered one door, MIR. Buffalo ran
out OF another. Rumsey evelled his gun, but
it would not go off, and the buffalo escaped and
Joined the remaining SIX, who then turned tail
on the town, and cantered over the hills and far
away, after having smashed several windows,
creating an intense excitement and playing the
deuce generally Omaha Bee.
