count OF IN Indian hunt he witnessed
from the door of his own log cabin one
day last winter. 1t was the great an
nual hunt of the Crows. The Indians
had their scouts out for weeks in the re-
gion north of the Yellowstone, massing
small scattered herds into one large
one by method similar to that used
in rounding up cattle. Having got
together a herd of perhaps 5000, they
began to push them forward into yell
lowstone valley, not stampeding tie
animals but forming simi'circle OF
horsemen around nearly twenty miles
of country, and showing themselves
here and there to keep the animals
from straying eff and to move them
forward in the desired direction.
Couriers were sent to the Grow village,
and soon the whole tribe was in motion
for small piece of bottom land on the
river, half surrounded by an amphithe-
alter of hills. Beyond the hill-tops.
the squaws, children, and old men were
stationed, with some of the ponies and
with red blankets. The most skillful
hunters posted themselves, mounted,
by the river side. About noon the
great herd, urged on by the scouts,
came laundering down the hills into
the bottom. Then the people on the
hills closed up their line behind them,
and the hunters dashed into the herd |
and began the slaughter. Whenever
The animals would stampede toward the
hills they would be driven back by the
:qu&ws waving the red blankets. The
hunters rode to and fro, with wonder

An Interesting STORY About Him and Pet Dog
A Washington dispatch to the Cleve

Bedford, o., aud formerly attended
Hiram college and was pupil OF the
lamented Garfield. Since the war he
has resided in Greenville, Tennessee,

He says the old homestead looks very
much as it did during the lifetime Of
the tailor president, and is now occu-
pied by his daughter, Mrs. Patterson,
who presided during his administration
as the lady of the white house. The
little tailor shop where Mr.. johnson

in my admiration for the great soldier
Of the war, called Grant. But Johnson
disliked General Grant so much that
he could never bear to hear the name,
and he always called the dog Prince.
The dog was quite favorite with the
old statesman, and frequently found
his way alone to Mr. Johnson's Office, |
where he was always treated with the |
greatest consideration.
"On this Sunday evening Mr.. John
son was much depressed in spirits. He
had felt of late that his vital forces
were rapidly leaving. We walked
down to the spring near his house, and
tried as best | could to cheer him up.
Prince, as he called him, was with

The steamer goes plowing along, here

A Hunters Fatal Mistake.

Robert and Morris Andrews left
their home in Greenfield, Lackawann
county on the 18th ut,, to 60 into the
Salem Woods on hunting expedi-
ton. They hunted without food or
rest until Thursday night. On Fri
day morning, Robert, hearing a rat
tling sound in the bushes, which he
supposed to be game, took up his rifle
and blazed away. On visiting the
spot, he found the dead body of Nor.
ris, the charge having entered bin
head. Robert, in his excitement very
foolishly took the body on his shoul'
der, and carried it home and hid it in
the barn under the hay. Inquiry
was made for Morris, and Robert de-
clared that he had not seen him since
they left home. The family noticed
his uneasiness, and believed some
great trouble preyed upon his mind.
A neighbor's children, with Roberts
two small sisters, were playing in the
barn next day, and one of the little
girls in attempting to pass from tho
hay NOW to the floor, placed her hand
upon the dead face Of her brother AMI
carried the terrible news to her pa
rents. Robert turned deadly pale,
and being asked as to the cause of his
brothers death, related the story az
given above. He is now out of his
mind.

His Mothers Touch.

DR.. Franklin denied the existence

his own experience-at the time he

nize him, though at the intercession
Of her gentlemen dodgers with whom
he spent the evening, the stranger
yed all night. Belief in such an
instinct is, however, d pleasant one,
and the evidence for it is sufficiently
ample to make its existence at least
probable. Frank Moore relates this
