n7&r accounts received. ltappears-to make
stories consistent-that there musthaye been
w parties Of trappers attacked instead of
one. Mr.. Is. had heard of the wounding
OF Williamson, buthad not heard ofthe death
of Mason. 4 party of three trappers had
been attacked by the Sioux, and one ofthem
Mr.. JEFF. Thompson, had a finger shot off.
He was at the Crow Agency doing well
when the party left. In addition to these
particulars we learn that a party of Sioux,
this side of the Yellowstone, attacked a
party of Bannacks and three whites. two of
the Bannacks being killed ard one of the
whites being wounded. Times are becoming
interesting in the Yellowstone valley, and
we may expect to hear some more startling
news from there. The Sioux seem inclined
to give trouble.

DIAMoNDs.-There is quite a diamond
excitement at Pioneer, melted by the result
from some stone sent by Charles Bennett, to
q lapidary in England, to be cut. A stone
picked up on Pioneer Bar, and thought to
be a brilliant, was sent with other varieties
without special mention. His return adj
vices informed him it was a diamond of good
quality and cut well. He is expecting the
stone soon, through the Custom House.
The rumors of this reaching Pioneer led
Henry BrOckmen to hunt up in his cabin q
stone which he had picked up some years
ago on the same bar, and laid away care
lessly. Fortunately he found it. 1t cuts
glass freely wherever its surface is applied
and stands all the ordinary tests of a diamond.
1t weighs four penny weights and is d little
off color. IF it proves a valuable stone there
will be considerable diamond hunting on
that bar In the spring.
