TURNED LOOSE"

The range men have turned loose
for the winter, and have established
their camps" and Zines" to be pa
troled by the boys to force back the
cattle when they drift southwark
from the storms and chilling winds.
The cattle are allowed to Craze at
will over the range and to seek shell
ter where they may, but they are
forced back some distance when they
attempt to drift across the lines con-
stantly patroled by the men.

VIM. Butler died last week. The
prevailing malaria Of the Territory
was the original cause Of his sick
ness, but it rapidly complicated with
other dif' ulties and in a week ter
minated fatally. Mr. Butler came to
the Territory some years ago, marry
ing into the Indian tribes-his last
wife being Long Hart's daughter, a
noted Caddo. The funeral was on
Sunday afternoon.
The tribulations of DR. Chase in
journeying from Sill to Anakarko
reminded one Of the canny Scotch

all night long to reach his home,
only a mile distant from the village,
and found in the morning that he
had been circling around the hay

that the lecture tomorrow night, by
DR.. Smith, and the address before
the Societies by Maj. Jed Hotchkiss,
will be excellent: The Commence
ment proper, Thursday morning,
promises to to be unusually interest
ing. These all promise US 4 week Of
interest and profit.
The Commencement exercises Of
the Morgantown Female Seminary,
last Thursday evening, were Of a
character that reflects great credit
upon the school. The essays of the
graduates we're of a high order of
merit, and showed that their writer's
had ability and had given time and
attention to their performances. They
were. delivered too, in manner
highly creditable. As to the music,
all we car. say IS, that il was all, each
and every part Of II excellent. There
are few better facilities for the ac-
.quirement Of musical knowled ge than
are afforded at our Female Seminary.
We are glad to see it supported 20
well BIZ the people of the town and
vicinity and wish. that II might
extend its influence to other por-
tons Of the State.
