A Holland Speculation.

The Holland immigrants, of Pease
bottom, under the care of Captain
Joseph Freuler, of Etcnetah, started
olt killing buffalo last week, and made
considerable of q failure In the line of
capturing buffalo. but grand success
in trading with the Crow Indians who
were on the range at the time. One of
them being rather well supplied with
coats that he had brought from his for
eign home, thought it would be good
idea to trade two coats for pair of
moocasins, and discard his wooden
shoes that he had on ut the time. The
trade was made with one of the dusky
msidens of that tribe, and he being so
we'll pleased, that he traded horse
that he was riding for half dozen
pair, and went on foot a distance of
one hundred and fifty miles. The
outfit now contemplate going back
to their native country, and start in
the wholesale and retail trade Of selling
moccasins made by the Crow tribe.

without Foundation.
[Communicated.l


In answer to the article published in
last evenings Press, concerning the
haunted house, l will state that the
editor of that sheet has wilfully given
ciedence to the fabrication as to the
cause ofmy leaving the Cox residence.
The editor of the Press has never in
terviewed me on the subject. If he
had done so, i would have most EN-
phatically denied the truth Of the
rumor, as I have to all who have
asked me, in regard to 1t. ! knew the
reputation the house had before I
moved into it. My sister never knew
or heard of the report, until we had
vacated the place, as We left the place
on account of 1t being too small to ac-
commodate us. A JOURNAL reporter
interviewed me on the subject of the
report Of the haunted house, and ! told
him that there was no foundation to
the rumor, and l did not think any
thing of that kind worth making
mention of through the columns of a
paper. G. B. LEBCHER, NJ. ID.

seems to have gone the rounds of the
town. A well known gentleman
and lady were walking down the

the gentleman's foot slipped and he
fell little behind, at which the lady,
thinking he had seen a sp0ok, threw
up her hands and gave vent to a shrek
which would have made an Indian
ashamed of himself.

l had been trying for some time to think
what camel looks like, and have just
made it out. When he is down on all his
knees, flat on his breast to receive his load,
he looks something like goose swimming;
and when he is upright he looks like an
ostrich with an extra pair OF legs. Camels
are not beautiful, and their long under lip
gives them an exceedingly 'gallus' express
sion They have immense, fiat, forked
cushions of feet, that make track in the
dust like pie with slice cut out of it.
They are not particular about their diet.
They would eat tombstone if they could
bite it. A thistle grows about here which
has needles on it that would pierce through
leather; if one touches you, you can find
relief in nothing but profanity. The camels
eat these. They show by their actions that
they enjoy them. l suppose it would be a
