The Memphis papers mentioned some
time ago that three dead men had been
found in a stranded skif. thirty miles
below Memphis. They had probably
been frozen to death. and the corpses
could not be identified. The paragraph
was more interesting to some people In
Cincinnati than anywhere else, for there
was Cincinnati hunting party Of
three, who left on the "a OF December,
and encamped on the river twenty miles
from Osceola. and sixty miles above
Memphis This party had written that
.hey would be home ct q certain time,
and did not come, nor have they been
heard from since. Their friends are
naturally anxious about them, and
seized upon the paragraph in question
as an explanation Of the protracied ab-
sence Of the hunters. They frightened
themselves very badly, and are sill
frightened, bus the probabilities are that
the three frozen corpses aud the three
Cincinnati hunters have nothitq what
ever in commOn.-SL Louis RepubH-

Looking down from my place, near

Peri-like, just outside Of that, caught
sight, on Senatorial desk, of the ia
miliar shake Of an attenuated foot, and
looking again, saw Ms. Brownlow in bis
seat, still utterly unchanged, after the
great change which several years ago
left him wreck in all but his keen in
tellect and infexible will. There was
the same pallid and impassive face, the
same wasted, helpless and tremulous
igure--a figure which the waves Of po-
litical agitation seem to break against
and pass round, but never more-Which
seems to have no reality about it, unless
it be the power 10 occupy, till the live
man comes. Yet there is something
grand in the never-say. die spirit Of the
grim old fighting person Of Tennessee.

good this year. Hay is abundant, and
there are plenty of fat cattle which will
soon be driven to market. Burnhamville

for the mills is obtained from Swan Lake,

migrants can find there excellent vacant
land. open to homestead settlement, The
country is specially favorable for stock
raising. Indiana and Illinois farmers
could turn their attention there to their own
advantage. Cranbernes are very abun-
dsnt. Some of the marshes there are
the largest have ever seen. Ono man
gathered ono hundred and twenty bushels
Of these berries on his own homestead.
The land is prairie, with maple, oak, elm,
ash and tamsrao timber, and = few pine
knolls. Greeks and springs afford water
plenty and convenient for stock.
