GENERAL NOTES.

COLONEL PicxErr, who wanted to take
a bribe only that he might be charitable
to tho widows aud orphans Of the
South" does not receive the encourage
ment from that section he had q right to
expect. His sense Of "high moral
duty and his willingness to "live in
sackcloth and ashes are not appre.
ciated. The Atlanta Constitution says
pickett evidently has n thorough ap'
probation Of the old provsrb to the
effect that charity begins ut home. On
the whole. Pickett seems to be some.
what unsuccessful as q success"
TEE entire originality commends to
us the plan suggested to aid the Mass
achusetts Agricultural College. 1t pro.
poses to allow every town which will
raise $500 a year for the purpose. to es'
tablish scholarships in the college, send
one scholar. who will be obliged to re-
main in the town which pays his sx'
penses for at least three years after his
graduation, and devote one afternoon oil
each week to communicating their
knowledge Of agriculture to all corners
gra,uitously.

The storm continues. 1t is showing
heavily in the Sierra Nevadas. Re-
serve s~now-plows are breaking the track
on the Central Pacific. The overland
train, with a double mail and delayed
passengers of the Union Pacific, was
detained east of Verde yesterday by the
pillow leaving the track. The snow in
the state extends from Wells down TO
the foothills. 1t is showing in the
extreme northern portion. of the state,
raining in the Sacramento and lower
portion of the San Joaquin valleys, and
also in Napa and Sonora. In the
southern portion of the state it is
cloudy, with indications of rain. Clear
and cold in Oregon. Raining in this
city all day. Cheering reports of crop
prospects are coming from nearly all
parts of the state.

To dght your Indian you must hrst
find him-this way is yer so much
preferable to his finding you-and
only those who have experience in such
work a appreciate the difficulties
that attend the hunt. In such a search
the Indian has on his side decided adj
vantages, one of which is found in his
superior knowledge of the country he
inhabits. His mode Of life, too, per-
mits him with his goods and chattels,
his wife and children, to move o
rapidly than the bulk of a column of
white soldiers can pursue him. That
he can discern and distinguish distant
objects better than a white man is an
undoubted fact, of which the slightest
experience will convince any unprej-
udiced observer of the ways of both,
and his habits naturally, without the
additional caution inspired by the
knowledge of %unceasing pursuit of
him, make it a matter of extreme diff
Guilty to approach his haunts without
giving him notice of such approach.
All this was apparent in the campaign
just closed, as was also the fact that
the instinct to discover Indian haunts
is strongest in the Indian nature.

Burglary at Buiord.

On last Tuesday afternoon the house
of Chris. Quigley, U. P. section fore
man at Buford station, 26 miles west of
this city, was broken into during the
absence of the family, the thieves COM
pletely cutting the house, carrying off
a valuable gold watch and other prop
erty worth about three hundred dollars.
The villains entered the building by
breaking in the lower sash of a window.
They then took a heavy fire poker and
broke open trunks, chests, bureaus,
ETC., scattering the contents over the
floor and taking all that was valuable
in the line of clothing, underclothes,
etc.
Two young men named Cronan and
Kennedy, recently employed on the
section by Quigley, are suspected of
having committed the robbery. Tele-
grams giving a description of the
thieves have been sent in all directions,
and the officers are confident that they
will soon be captured.

FOLLOWING THE FIENDS.
Col. Miles---Sitting Bull Sadly
Harassed.

A letter from Tongue River Canton
ment, bearing date Dec. 21st, 1876,
says:
"Col. Nelson A. Miles, Of the Fifth
United States infantry, has just return
ed to his post, after a most successful
campaign with the ten companies of
that regiment against Sitting Bull and
the other hostile chiefs who moved to
the north of the Yellowstone River in
October last.
Gen. Miles was compelled to return
to this post for supplies, but will with
in a week start out again or the trail of
the fugitive chief, and, if possible, pre-
vent his junction with Crazy Horse, af-
ter which he will proceed without re-
turning to the cantonment to attack
the latter.
Gen. Miles, gallant little command,
numbering 439 men, has made one of
the most successful Indian campaigns
on record. 1t marched over 600 miles
through the rigors of Montana snow
storms, pursued Sitting Bull to his IA
vorite retreat among the semi-hostile
bands that swarm around Fort Peck
eating government rations, and who are
always ready to aid him with supplies
of both men and ammunition, and it
defeated and drove him back into the
Yellowstone Valley, from which he has
now but little chance of escape, His
following, which numbered over 1000
lodges and more than 1000 well-armed
warriors, has been so completely routed
and scattered by Gen. Miles that there
is now but little doubt of his capture or
surrender at an early date if the trans
p~ortation which is necessary for his
pursuit, but which was nearly exhaust
ed by the recent campaign, will only
hold out for a few weeks longer.
The last fight with Sitting Bull oc.
CURED on the 18th, just on the head wa
tiers of Red Water Creek. On that day
Lieut.. Frank D. Baldwin, with a de-
tachment consisting of three companies
of the Fifth infantry, discovered and
attacked his camp and completely rout-
ed him. Lieut.. Baldwin captured most
of his lodges and a large number of po-
MES and destroyed all of the robes,
meat and other pr%ovisionsof the village.
This affair was a most gallant one on
the part of Lieut.. Baldwin, and was a
blow to Sitting Bull that about ends his
career. The sufferings Of Gen. Miles
command during the campaign were,
of course, very great, but the successful
result has fully repaid him for the hard
ships endured.
Yesterday the mercury stood at thir.
ty-six degrees below zero-cool wealth
er for campaigning-but nothing can
deter Gen. Miles, and, if his mule train
only holds out you may expect very soon
to hear the particulars of the further
pursuit of Sitting Bull and Of an en-.
gagement with Crazy Horse on the up.
per Big Horn.

Minor Mining Notes.

Work is proceeding daily about Gay
vile and vicinity, Number 5 above
discovery, owned by Casio, Noyes &
Co., is making its usual clean up of
800 per day. Messrs. Carnage, Hulin
u Co., at work on No. 8, clean up daily
between $500 and $500.
The stamp mill of NJ. E. Pinney, at
Deadwood, has been running since the
first of January. In eighty days from
the time the mine was bonded to him
he took the mill there and had it in run
ming order. He is now crushing ten
tons of ore daily from the Alpha lode.
The arastra owned by the Golden
Gate Mining company is giving good
satisfaction crushing the company's
ore.
The city of Golden Gate shows every
sign of prosperity, and establishes the
fact that live men have located there.
1t now possesses three stores, two
saloons and some sixty or seventy
houses.
The deep claims above Gayville will
all be worked in the spring.

NOTICES..

Schenek's PulmonIe Syrup, Sea Weed
Tonic,
AND MANDRAKE PILLS. These deser-
vedly celebrated and popular medicines
have effected a revolution in the heal
ing ait, and proved the fallacy of sew
eral maxims which have for many years
DISTRACTED the progress of medical
science. The false supposition that
Consumption is i%ncurable'' deferred
physicians from attempting to find
remedies for that disease, and patients
afflicted with it reconciled themselves
to death without making an effort to
escape from a doom which they suppos-
ed to be unavoidable. 1t is now proved,
however, that Consumption can be cured,
and that it has been cured in Il very
great many cases (soIne of them appar.
emily desperate ones) by Schenck's Pull
monte Syrup alone; and in other cases
by the same medicine in connection
with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills, one or both, according
to the requirements of the case.
DR.. Schenck himself, who enjoyed I'M
interrupted good health for more than
forty years, was supposed at one time
to be at the very gate of death, his ply
sicianS having pronounced his case
hopeless, and abandoned him to his fate.
He vas cured by the aforesaid medi-
cines, and, since his recovery, many
thousand similarly affected have used
DR.. Schenck's preparations with the
same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each, max
ing it not absolutely necessary to per-
sonally see DR.. Schenck unless patients
wish their lungs examined, and for this
purpose he is professionally at his prin-
cipal office, corner Sixth and Arch sts.,
Philadelphia, every Monday, where all
letters for advice must be addressed.
. Schenck's medicines are sold by all
