In the early dawn next morning we
drove to Kaire, a place Of 1900 IN
habitants, along a Gne road with shell
tering trees The town stands on a
high bank of river. From the top
Of the Collectors house there is an ex

This care Of life in regard to the lower
creation is a principle of Hindu relig
ion more strictly observed than that of
care Of their fellow creatures outside
the circle of their own family connec-
ton. Within that circle they are won~
derfully kind. Hindus of high caste
never take life. Some are strict vege
tarians, and in order to preserve life
will irighten away fish from parts of a
river where they have reason to expect
English Officers TO come in inquest of
them. Even the much abused money
lender refuse all advances to fisher
men. On one occasion [ came upon
an extensive inclosed park with shell
ter sheds, maintained by a native ban
ker, into which horses no longer fit
for use were charitably received and
fed that they might wear out their
lives in quietness. And yet female in
fanticide is undoubtedly too common,
sixty four females to 100 males being
not an unusual proportion 10 the popu-
latiou. A native judge explained this
to me by the great desire among the
lower class to Vtermarry with the high
er, a lower man being ready to pay a
needy man of the higher order large
sum of-money to induce the son of the
higher rank to marry his daughter.
But when the lower man has DO mon.
ey, as is too often the case, the female
infant is apt to be neglected and al
lowed to die.-LThe Nineteenth Gem

RaIrIe with IN Elk

Last week, General II. c. Bull, of
Bulls City, Kansas, proprietor of
fine park containing about fifty ami
mails, sent his hired man, Robt. Bick-
nell, to the park for the purpose of
caring for his animals. He at once
discovered that there was something
unusual 10 the appearance of the elk
which showed hostile designs, compel-
ling him to leave the park. He has
tened to inform the General of the fact,
and armiDg themselves with heavy
clubs they returned to the enclosure,
the General remarking that he could
subdue the animal. Upon their en-
trance the enraged animal made
charge on the men, knocking General
Bull down with great force, and then
drew back and made second attack
with increased force, using his autIers,
and pierced the PROSTATE body through
until the prong protruded. The brute
then tossed the unfortunate man into
the air, and then threw him high over
his shoulders. The infuriated animal
then turned upon Mr.. Bicknol and
inflicted most frightful injuries
NIr George Nicholas ran to the rescue
and attempted to disable the brute
with club, and William Sherman
followed close after him, AID the two
gave battle. Sherman was caught in
the elk's antlers and thrown over the
high board fence, and Nicholas was
picked up and tossed into the air, and
lodged on the fence. During all this
scene Mrs. Ball was a spectator, and,
wild with grief, ran to the village for
assistance. \ number of farmers re
sponded to her summons, but arrived
at the scene of the tragedy too late
General Bulls body was found fear
fully disfgured, with life quite extinct
An examination of the body showed
fAty four wounds. The fatal Que was
by the antlers, which pierced the chest
through both lungs and the heart,
causing instant death Bricknel re
celyed thirty two wounds and has since
died. After much trouble, attended
by great danger, the elk was tied to a
tree. He still paws and stamps with
great fury. General Bull was mem

Another Precinct Heard From.

On the Goth of December last we called
attention to what we considered rather ex.
traord nary threshing by Messrs. Garlick
& Hutton. Of West Gallatin. during OctO-
Der and part of November, 1873. These
gentlemen threshed out in a little over a
month and half 2.435 bushels of grain,
which we thought very creditable work,
and intimated that We should like to hear
from others. In response to our article
Messrs. Marks Il Patterson. of the Mis-
souri, valley, come to the front through the

that we started out September Goth. and
returned November 9Th. being out just AZ

ed 1900 bushels of grain, 10000 bushels
of which was wheat. We threshed 24l
bushels in one hour. and 2,2JO bushels in

A Fine Specimen.

Wakefield brought into the COURIER office
one of the richest specimens OF gold bear.

an one of its size. 1t weighs a little over
four pounds, and is richly studded with
coarse gold over almost its entire surface
The specimen was recently picked up in
Bear Gulch and brought into town by
some parties this week. If the most fav-
Orable indications will warrant predic-
ton, then we must say that Bear Gulch is
destined in the near future to become one
of the richest camps in the Territory.

Mr.. Noah Armstrong. until recently Sill

Mr.. Armstrong is man OF rare good
judgment and possesses the skill of a

long practical experience in reducing ores,
and the Eastern Montana Mining and
Smelling Company can well afford to offer
him liberal inducements if they desire to
have determining property thoroughly de-
