The Northern Pacific Railroad Survey.

Capt. Bull, of the United States
cavalry, in an official report dated Fort
Ellis, Montana Territory, Dec 10, gives
an account of his visiting the new Crow
Agency with several companies for the
purpose of escorting Mr.. Muhlenberg
and surveying party of the Northern
Pacific railroad, down Yellowstone river.
He started on the 10th of September.
On the 10th of October, fire broke out
in one of the tents in the officers line,
and although number of men were at
the time within few feet of the tent,
all efforts to extinguish the flames were
unavailing. The wind was blowing such
terrific gale that not more than a
minute could have elapsed from the
time the fire WIS discovered until it had
swept down to the river, distance of
$50 yards, taking the entire line of COM
pany HIS tents, burning the clothing,
bedding, arms, carbines, camp equipage
and ammunition. Although the alarm
was given at the moment the fire made
its appearance through the tent, the
men who were asleep in their tents, $50
yards from this point, had their cloth
ing, hands and hair burned before they
could get out. About 800 rounds of
carbine and pistol cartridges were ex-
ploded in the burning debris after the
fall of the tent, sending their missiles
in all directions, and although the
greater portion of the command were
busily engaged in extricating what they
could from the burning ruins, yet not a
man nor animal was injured. Lieut..
MacAdam was dispatched back to Fort
Ellis with one wagon and small escort,
on the following morning, where he OBJ
tanned all that was necessary for the
equipment and comfort of the men, and
returned to the command on the 18th
OF October, making march of 166 miles
with wagons over rough road, and
through an almost continuous snow
storm. The survey of Muhlenberg was
afterward made to a point on the
Yellowstone river, ITO miles east Of the
Grow Agency, to which point Capt.
Ball escorted him, arriving there on the
14th of November, giving him all the
protection required, and all that was
necessary. Winter had now set in and
the survey was continued no further
The return was made to the Crow
Agency on the 25th of November, of 10
miles in nine days, with snow from six
to ten inches deep, and snow-storms
during seven days out of the nine The
Oldest settlers had never known such a
severe snow-storm at that season. On
arrival at the post it was found on ex-
animation that thirty-three of the escort
and twenty four of the detachment of
G and L companies taking grain to the
escort had their faces, hands, feet, ears
and noses painfully frozen. No hostile
Indians were seen. The nsportation
company lost three mules by death and
one abandoned, The cavalry lost seven
horses; two died, one from injury by
falling on rocks, and one from general
debility; one froze to death, and four
gave out and were abandoned. The
distance travelled by the command was
2S6 miles, while the daily travel by the
guards in protecting the working parties
in the line made about 400 miles.

A Prolific Irishman.

There was very much married man
in Texas, ONeal by name, who, even
for an Irishman, is an extraordinary
propagator of his species, for, having
been married eight times, he has forty
one children. He is IS years old, and
his personal ambition is to bring the
numberof his wives up to fifty, doing in a
legitimate way that which the Mormon
patriarchs do in an illegitimate way.
Perhaps Mr.. O'Neal does not intend to
wait for the opportunities afforded by
bereavement, but proposes to try the
shorter cut of divorce. If SO, in some
of our States, he need not limit himseli
to such an Insignificant number o
spouses as half a hundred.

Lucy AIMS Little Termination.

Lucy Ann was the little girl. Jane
Maria was the doll. Lucy Ann said to
Jane Maria, one day, ANow, you've
just gone and got the mamps, and I'm
going to doctor you up right smart, or
you'll be having earache or something
thing all winter; and like as not you'll
be down sick when Christmas comes,
and l shall just have to stay at home
and take care of you"
Lucy Ann went into the kitchen to
make poultice poultices were the
thing for mumps, she thought, and Jane
Maria was let alone.
Only the cat listened to poor Dolly's
doleful words. COIL it's dreadful to
be DOLL" she said. II am all twisted
up. Lucy Ann tolls folks the rheu-
les did it; but know twas herself
pulling me so, and twitchering me
when she gets mad. Wish could get
mad, too, sometimes; but l guess l
wouldn't tell folks story bout it. OH
it's awful to be a doll, and have a new
head put on; and know I've got to, if
she puts that thing on; for it's just a.
going to stick fast, and pull all the red
off my face. know it isl
Dear me! how loud you do purr |"
said Lucy Ann to the cat, going into the
room and taking up Jane Maria in her
arms, Kittie followed them into the
kitchen.
"Now, there's no use in your making
one bit of fuss, for you've got to take it.
Castor oil is always good for babies, if
they re sick or any thing, said Lucy Ann,
when the bread and-milk poultice was
bound on Dolly's cheek, and the cat was
licking the milk from the dish. The
spoon was full. 4 knock at the kitchen
door startled Lucy Ann. The spoon
shook, and down spread the oil over
Dolly, Lucy AIMS dress, and the cats
fur.

said the child, springing UP to hide her
doctoring'' from sight.
"Nol it's just me-" said Sarah Burns,
and I've come to see if your mothers
got any castor oil. Mrs. Browns baby
has been taken sick, sudden, and they
can't wait to send to the DOCTOR"
Yes, here it isl said Lucy Ann :;

Sarah Burns took the bottle and ran
with it to Mrs Brown ..MF ~IIeel-.
Isn't it lucky for me,n thought Lucy
Ann, " tEat she came; for what would
