How Indians Hunt Buffalo.

The commandant of q post generally
gives the Indians under his control per-
mission to go on buffalo hunt, about
twice a year. A party of from 200 to
300 is allowed to go out at once, and
may be out for from thirty to ninety
days being, during that time, accom-
garrison. The party is divided and the
herd is surrounded, the circuit being al
most a half-mile in diameter. When
about halfway around, the signal is
given to charge, and the bucks COM
mence to ply their arrows. The excited
buffaloes run backward and forward
until probably one-fifth of them are
killed, when the hunt is temporarily
over, at least. The squaws have, in the
meantime, come along and picked up
their husbands clothing, and follow
after to complete the work of the chase.
The buck, having shot his buffalo,
rushes forward to pass the animal over
so that he will not fall on the side which
the arrow has pierced and break it. He
cuts the arrow out of its place, puts it
back in his quiver, and then marks the
buffalo with his peculiar brand, which
may be a cut in the nostril, in the ear,
thigh, or some other part of the body.
Here again then the squaw gets her
onerous share of the work in. She dis.
tinguishes the animal her buck has slain,
skins it, cuts the meat away from the
bones in the most convenient and hur
ried manner, and packs it to where the
bucks have already made permanent
camp, in the vicinity of the nearest
water.
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1878-02-14
The United States Life-Saving Service.

During the year ending June, 1877,
the total number of vessels driven ashore
was one hundred and thirty four, having
one thousand five hundred persons on
board, thirty nine, or about two and
half per cent, of whom we're lost. The
total amount of property saved was over
one million seven hundred thousand
dollars, and the total amount of that
lost, over one million five hundred thou.
sand dollars. A brief summary of the
operations of the service since Mr.. s. j.
Kimball took charge of it in 1871 will
better show its usefulness, however.
Four hundred wrecks occurred, imperil-
ing over eleven million one hundred
thousand dollars worth of property
nearly seven million dollars worth of
this was saved, and of four thousand
seven hundred and thirty lives imperiled
only eighty were lost. Two thousand
eight hundred and sixty-seven days of
shelter were afforded at the stations to
nine hundred and ffty-nine persons.
During 1871 72 the operations of the
service were confined to the coasts of
Long Island and New Jersey /; in 1872
"a they were extended to Cape Cod and
Rhode Island, and in the next year they
were further extended to the limits of
the present districts.
The stations are nearly all alike
simple wooden houses, with steep gable
r O, the only projection about them
being the lightning rod, and the only
ornament a coat of red Thrown paint.
From May until November they are un-
occupied, though all the apparatus is
ready for use and the rest of the year
each becomes the home of a keeper and
six surf-men, who are paid forty dollars
q month, and are chosen for their ex-
perience on the beach, Their duties are
concisely stated in the instructions of
the treasury department, to which
branch of the government the life-savipg
service belongs. "During the winter
months the beach will be patrolled by
the surf-men every night. The patrol
will consist of two men from each sta
tion, one following the beach toward
the next station to the right, and the
other proceeding toward the next station
to the left, and each continuing his walk
until the patrol from the adjacent station
is met. Each patrolman will carry a
beach lantern. also red Coston hand
light and when an inlet separates the
station. he will exchange signals with
the patrolman on the opposite shore.
On those parts of the coast where the
two adjacent houses can not be seer
from each other, the beach will be
patrolled sufficiently to bring them il
| sight three times between sunrise an6
sunset. On the discovery of a wreck ol
vessel in distress, the patrolman vii
| immediatelv hTlrn his red Coston hand
give notice to the wreck that succor il
near, then returning to the station an(
assisting in the preparation of the ap
paratus. Boats, etc, will be prepared
for immediate service. - William II
Rideing, in Harper's Magazine.
