A Voice From the Black Hills.

THERE can be no doubt that an authen-
tic report is now heard from the invad-
ing party of adventures which is known
to have been ensconced in the heart OF
the famous Black Hills of Wyoming all
winter. Two men belonging to the band
have arrived at Sioux City, Iowa, whence
they started last fall and which is their
place of residence. One of them is an
elderly man named Witcher, who has
been we'll known for many years in the
West as freighter, but latterly has set
tled down as cattle buyer and shipper
in Sioux City. His report is of great in
terest, since it seems to be the first voice
from the veritable center of the country
over which so much speculation has been
indulged in for a great number of years.
He says that after the expedition of
twenty-nine persons sone woman) and six
wagons left Sioux City last October it
went across Northern Nebraska and
struck the Niobrara River 100 miles from
it's conjunction with the Missouri, and
thence went across the country interven-
ing between the Niobrara and Cheyenne
Rivers, and entered the Black Hills, which
were penetrated nearly to the base of
Harney's Peak, where the company threw
up a stockade and went into winter quar-
ters. They were over two months on the
trip, and met only one small party OF
Indians, which offered no resistance to
the invaders In the mountains the ex-
pedition found plenty of timber and an
abundance of wild game. In prospect
ing for gold twenty-five pits were sunk,
and gold quartz found in every instance,
but the richest specimens of ore were
silver, instead of gold. Mr.. Witcher
and his comrade, Mr.. Gordon, left the
Hills Feb. 8, with the intention of re-
porting progress to their Eastern friends
and of forming another expedition in
the spring. They rode on horseback
the entire distance in less than thirty
days, were not met by any Indians, and
subsisted on the provisions they started
with and deer killed by the way. The
snow was deep and the cold intense, but
the hardy fellows reached home well and
in good spirits. Mr.. Witcher brought
specimens of silver ore and gold quartz,
and says the expedition is sanguine of.
success in mining operations. The party
left in the Hills has plenty of provisions
and ammunition Nothing was seen of
the two Government expeditions which
were sent out to dislodge them from
Indian soil, but which were forced to
turn back by the severity of the weather.

A Romantic Story.

[ THIRTY-ONE years ago little boy, four
years old, the son of Daniel Hutchins, of
Burlington, N. j., while playing outside
the door of the home of his parents, was
kidnapped by two men and taken to
Philadelphia on board of a steamboat.
From that city the boy was soon after
ward taken to the West, where he grew
up under the charge of his captors. Upon
arriving at the age of manhood he
started out in life for himself, and trav-
eled over nearly every part OF the civil
lied world. At the time OF his disap-
lpearance from home his parents became
almost frantic with grief because of his
loss, and had the Delaware River and
it's tributaries, together with the sur
rounding country, searched for his where
abouts. dead or alive, but all in vain.
The people of Burlington showed the
deepest sympathy for the sorrow-strick-
en- parents, and large rewards were
offered for the recovery of the lost one,
Notwithstanding which the event re-
manned shrouded in mystery for the long
space of thirty one years, when the lost
one appeared at the scenes of his child
hood in quest of his parents. In the
meantime the father and mother died, it
is supposed, from pure grief, thinking
that their boy must be dead. After fight
ing the battles of the world, and making
for himself a snug competence, the
young man became convinced that he
was not the child of the men with whom
he had been living, and he determined
to find his parents. He entertained a
slight recollection of his old home, and
he finally ascertained that he could find
tidings of his parents in New Jersey,
and, aided by inquiry, he fixed upon Bur
lington as the place, arriving only to ind
his parents dead.-N. 4. Herald. ID

A SatiricaI Testament.

A WRITER in the Troy Times says: "In
the year 1880 there died in Bercy, France,
an old wine merchant, who made his
will vehicle of satire, aimed at all his
friends. To one who was most famous
among his acquaintance for possessing
the most boots, pantaloons and waist
coats in Paris he left 500 francs, two
pairs of boots, two pairs of pantaloons and
Two waistcoats; to skeptic, who was al
ways railing at religion and priests, he
left 1000 francs, on condition that he
went to confession once fortnight and
took the communion annually for three
wears; to another he bequeathed 100
francs on condition that he confessed he
stole one from him ten years ago; to an
other, who was fond of getting drunk.
and of singing boisterously, he left a
barrel of brandy, twelve bottles OF excel
lent wine, besides twelve bottles OF
Raspall's mixture for hoarseness and six
bottles of absinthe to clear his throat :
He beaueathed to another 300 francs for
having shamefully neglected to write
him complimentary letters on his birth
day and New Years Day. Eliza got 100
francs for her general beauty; Gabrielle
was left 500 francs for her delightful con-
yersation at the supper-table. Adeline
received 500 francs for beng as plump
as an ortolan. He eftpositive instruc-
tions about his funeral, which must be a
lugubrious one.' He ordered $50 labor
ing men to be invited to it, and gave di-
rections that each should receive three
francs, chicken pie and bottle of
wine on their return from the cemetery;
and if there be any sick ladies among
those ladies who attend my funeral my
will is that each of them receive two
bottles of my best old Bordeaux wine in
order to do them good He bequeathed
to the Commissary of Police, who was
charged with distributing all these OBJ
iects, fifty francs, four bottles of cham
pagne and two bottles of sherry, upon
condition that he took care to see that
the chicken pies were of the very best
quality
