COLUMBUS, Ind, June ia gentleman
born in 1779, in Kentucky, has been my
guest for several days, entertaining those
who have heard him in such manner, that /
nave written a few items thinking they
would interest thu general reader. AL
though so old he has a vivid recollection of
the scenes, trials and hardships through
which he passed in the early settling of this
State. In the year 1926 he arrived in Co
lumbus, then a town Of stumps rather than
houses-for the latter numbered only
twenty-five. But they were defended by
men of strong arms and stout hearts from
the dangers incident to frontier life. The
dense woods with its snarled underground
found an almost impenetrable wilderness
through which the bear, wolf, panther and
many animals less ferOcious prowled at will.
Wild game was plentiful aud many anus
ing stories are told by the pioneer of city
gentlemen stricken with the "buck-ager"
las it was then called) when attempting to
draw a bead on the first deer he saw in its
native wilds. Old hunters shot them
in such numbers that you could buy a ''sad-
die" for twenty cents. A saddle OF venison
is the W hams and the loin. The wilder
animals were often so near the town as to
make night hideous by their growls and
cries, even v~enturing through the settlement
in broad daylight en- route for some deep
tangled wildwood where the woodlands ak
had not startled them from their lair-for
the settlers cabin had been erected here
and there with just opening enough around
them to raise food for the present. There
were no roads from one to another, not even
from town out to them. But the traveller
found them by the trees "blazed" for the
purpose; the white spot his guide along the
bridle-paths. For the very young readers

 i Thursday Ebe 7th day oi Jafiaary was q field day in tbe Hosua. The Ctmncil sent down q concurrent ralolution asking ihs
 Rouse to authorize their committee on | printing 70 make arraneemenls with the
 .drizoaa Lenscrssf for an tbe printing re-
 quired by She Hoake 4 motion was
 made to lay the resolution on tls table. which produced ? spirited discussion ia which Woods Of Pima. and Bolan of Ma ricopa advocated lhe claims of the .Dsa.e cras, and hung out oh their banner fhe Jacksonian legend. Q Che victors belong the spells" In view ef the fact that toe House is not Democratic ls seemed somewhat queer assumption. Messrs Brown of Yavapai, Haynes and McCafer. Fly of Pima, SouthPick of Mojsve and Robb of Final took the position 1hat tbe printing should be equally divided be. tween the two printing establishments in Prescott, and favored she motion to lay the Councils resolution on the table. When the vote was taken the latter gentle men were sustained tly an overwhelming majority. During the discussion the teo gentlemen from Pima, Woods and Me Cailtrtv, had lively tilt in which both proved themselves ready debaters. Mr. Bolan of Marieopa, a1d RoBb of Pinal had little set too. alsoi the former gen tleman claiming to divine what she latter intended to 60, and the latter claiming chat the former, on account of his supe rioF asorsiupois could not crawl into his (Rohhs) siencr eonseiopsness Alto gelher t was lively time. and though nothing was uttered infringing upon the rales or debate, il is to be hoped that 1t will not be repeated. The Democracy have found their Waterloo, and are now at work like men legislasing in the inter ests of inc Territory. The Council Chan ber was qpeerly arranged affair. You see. Che building was formerly theatre. and the partition dividing the Chamber from the House left space of about ten feet between it and tbe stage. The mem- bers were to sit upon the platform, and the audience below. but the experiment didn't work well II looked so much like a theatric.i performance, that s-e folks in the pit were kept in a fever of anxiety lest some of the actors should miss their part oF the supes would not come on in time to carry oil the dead Ne are  pleased al tie change to tbe < lower level, i" and expset the members of the Council are toe.
