A company organized in New York,
with a capital of s9O,OO0,OO0, has COM
pleted its negotiations with the government
of San Domingo for the purchase OF
SANTANA Bay. The company is granted
almost all the rights of independent gov
eminent, and will have its own flag, police
and revenue officers, and we doubt not
will find or make occasion, 10 due time, TO
sell out its privileges to the United States
Government.
A bottle of strychnine has been found
in the cell occupied by the assassin Stokes
before his conviction. We do not believe
he will poison himself, for all that. He
will not do it till be believes he will be

lieve that till the rope is around his neck.
This winter is in remarkable contrast
with that Of '7l-'72 Then we had neither
snow nor rain, and the ground was as
hard and dry as bone. This winter this
old earth is like soaked sponge, and is
so full that we do not believe it can alb
sorb any more water.

Our well-lnformed Dover correspondent
assures us that there is, at present, appar-
emily no prospect whatever of any change
in our usury laws, which offer larger
premium on villainy than has ever re.
ceiyed the sanction of the law in any other
particular. Under our existing laws just
such things as this are possible A man,
in dull time, has obligations maturing
which must be met or his property, really
worth greatly more than he owes, will 90
Into the hands of the sheriff. He appeals
to friend for help to save him, and that
friend, who has his money invested in
bonds drawing $40 interest, authorized
by the State of Delaware, sells them and
lends the money at the same rate to the
man in trouble, on his note.
Now comes the State, which ltselfdraws
more than six per cent. from some Of Its
investments, and and iu the spirit of tue
Devil, when he tempted the first of our
race, says to this borrower whom friend
has saved from rain, you have paid ! $40
more than per cent interest, and YOU are
legally absolvad from all obligations to
either pay the interest or the principal of
the money you borrowed. 1t is true that
no man, who has not the soul and itching
palm of an Iscarlot within him, will yield
to the temptation, but does any one think
10 accordance with the States character
as a guardian Of morality and promoter
of justice that 1t should offer the temptation.
For ourselves we are, of course, opposed
to any attempt of State to regulate and
control private business transactions
between individuals, but since the ancient
superstition that a usury law lie a good
thing, is too deeply rooted to be overcome
at once, let our legislators, at least, SCI
that the law is so modified as to cease x
offer a premium on dishonesty and treach
cry. Let them make 1t at least, cores
pond with the enactments of adjoining
States, into which the insecurity of sucl
investments in this State is driving al
our spare capital for investment.

Charles Lloyd, young mulatto, was sent
20 the Chester County Prison on Wednes-
day week, by VIM. P. Blair, Esq, of West
Marlborough, for an assault on bis brother,
Benjamin Lloyd. His brother saws that
he drew a knife on him, that he shot at
HIM with gun, and threatened to kill
him. This is not Lloyd's first offence. He
was sentenced by the Chester County
Courts in 1870, when he was but twenty
wears Old, to three months imprisonment
for threatening TO shoot a colored man
named lsiah Hart. He served his time
out and will no doubt have an opportunity

yards. on horse which stood fire but
would not stand buffalo, put shot into
his shoulder. Another which struck into
the thick neck OF the shoulder blade, near
the Joint, brought him to the ground. He
followed, all of which struck about the
shoulder, and going to the front l fired
into his breast for his heart This bullet,
found afterwards, exploded but was not
broken into fragments, and buried in the
outer muscles Of the great heart. At last
he fell on his side, and without struggle
or below gave up the ghost. We cut out
the tongue, and | passed my hand over
and admired the large and symmetrical
limbs, So we'll formed to carry the enor-
nous weight of the head and shoulders.
The soft and clean fur of the robe, free
from dirt or burs, looks like well
gr0Omed horse in color and cleanliness.
The head is immense. The horns, worn
by constant battles, and by turning up the
earth are ragged and blunted but of great
strength Our chase was only three or
four miles it was over a frozen country
full of ravines and breaks which it re-
| quired care to pass. and everywhere the
ground was honeycombed by the burrows
of the prairie dog.
Few sportsmen are hurt by the buffalo,
for the horse generally takes good care to
avoid his rush but many horses are killed
and many riders injured by falls due to
the traps set by these burrowing little
''varmints.' In the chase, not in the
game, is the danger. The gallop is ex-
citing. 1t requires always a fleet horse to
catch the buffalo, but owing to the inde-
cision OF my friend, a hard gallop kept me
near him, and easily closed the gap to
forty yards by pressing the horse; nearer
he would not 90 without = contest. which
would have unsteadied my aim. We rode
across the country to find our party, and
met the Major returning. He reported
that he was frozen, and that his buffalo
had outrun his horse. The soldier re-
turned after a four mile chase with the
tongue Of the bull we had followed We
sent Tor the wagon, the game bay, to
come up, and | took, with the aid of the
soldier, the robe from my bull. cut off the
hams and one tore-leg and the hump. |
opened the body to see the effect of my
shells, and we rode back to Fort Wallace,
where had the green robe and one ham
prepared to send by Xpresst to Washington.
They have arrived and have eaten buf-
ialo Of my own shooting, and have sent
the robe to New York to be dressed in the
best style.
