Der Of congress has no more influence BE-
cause he is . member, for example: the

Mr.. D. X. snively, formerly Of Custer and
country last spring, has returned with a
18th Of April, going out by way Of Central
and Fl. Reno, striking the Big Horn mount
aims at Crazy Woman's river, which they
followed up into the mountains. The party
prospected as far west as the base of Cl nd
Peak, Crooks old cam, at which point
they turned northward, crossing all the
tributaries of the Tongue and Little Horn
rivers to the Big Horn river. Toey stayed
out over five months, and report that there
is absolutely nothing to tempt the gold
seeker anywhere in the country. At the
widest part of the Big Horn river the party
saw five Sioux Indians, but did not exchange
shots with them, the distance beingto great.
They found q large number of relics of the
same character a. have been found in Law
renee county, old pumps, drain bitches and
a deserted cabin or two. The party found
q beautiful American horse which had been
captured BY Sitting Bull aud had Afterwards
gotten away. This animal, when taken by
them into Fl. Custer, turned out to be bet
ter than any at the post. They found colors
in Goose creek, where the deserted cabine
were, but nothing anywhere else. The party
consumed thelf provisions ana nau 10 90
north to the River Grow agency, on the
Rosebud river, for a fresh supply. The
Big Horn was very high, and after turning
their horses into the stream and starting
them for the opposite side, the party con
.tructed araft, placed their blankets, guns
and camp equipage on it and launching i
into the swift current, made for the western
shore. They we're carried down by the rap

shore Mr.. snively leaped of, his companion
threw him . rope, which he made fast to
tree, but vas forced to cut loose again te
save their supplies, which we're in great dan
re, of being washed overheard. The Graf
turned back nearly the opposite shore, thel
turned and made for the west bank, ant

Temperance Urior.

The third quarterly convention of
the Hancock county Christian Temp
erance Union, was held at the Court
House in FindIay Jan. II and Is. A
goodly number of the friends of
temperance were present from town
and country.
Reports from sew, raj townships show
that the people have not lost faith in
the LII mate destruction of the liquor
traffic, through the influence and pow
er of the gospel.
During the last quarter eleven meet
ings have been held in different parts
of the county under the auspicies of
the county Union. The Findlay town
ship Union has held thirty three temp
erance prayer meeting for adults
and twelve children's meetings. At
McComb, Vanlue and some country
neighborhoods, weekly meetings have
been held
Rev. Pond of Wauseon was present
and favored the convention with an
interesting address. A number OF
brief earnest addresses were made by
ministers and citizens. The subject
of reform clubs was brought before
the convention, and on motion a com
mittee of five men were appointed to
organize reform club in Findlay.
