OF the territory as we'll are very much
interested in the report brought here
recently to the effect that herd of 80
butialoes were seen 90 miles north of
here last week, on the bank Of the Mis-
souri, River. John Whiteside, hunter
who arrived here to-day, saws that he saw
the herd and killed one of the animals.
While the ANIMALS were stampeding to
the river for water, Whiteside narrow
ly escaped being caught in a narrow IA
vine ard tramDed upon by the thirsty
beas's. The buifaloes swan the river
and started in anorthwesterly direction
from the western bank. This is the first
herd seen in Dakota for over five wears,
and 1t is supposed that they had been
driven from the northwest territories by
hunters. 4 large number of settlers
have started in pursuit in hopes of cap

\ Coincidence.
From Inc Boston Herald.


One Of those condolences which could
not be expected to occur once in a mill
ion times happened in well-known
music school in this city. A young lady
from California, who had written from
home and engaged to become a pupil,
called to arrange details as to hours, etc.
Sue was just leaving, in fact, had her
hand on the door knob, when 1t was
opened from without by another Young
lady who had called on a similar er-
rand. After staring at each other for
an instant, the two rushed into each
others arms. Explanation followed.
Young lady No. was also from Cali
fornia, and, like the first, from San
Francisco. Both lived in the same
street, they were intimate friends, and
each had purposeIy kent from the other
her intention of coming to Boston to
complete her musical education. And
yet the fates willed that they should
meet face to face on the very first day.

Water for Cholera Infantum,

We indorse the following remarks Of
DR.. II. (. Hendrix ON cholera infanlum
lsays the Monthly Bulletin, OF the Iowa
state board of health in the Weekly
Medical Review. During the progress
of the disease and sometime before ac-
tive symptoms manifest themselves, We
have noticed the Unsuitable thirst of
these little patients, and always noticed
marked relief from giving them plenty
of cold water. 1t seems strange that
any one should deny simple remedy
like this so pleadingly demanded. DR..
Hendrix, moreover, claims that it is
beneficial as preventive. He says: ~
feel it my duty to say taking my own
observation as a guidel that cholera in
tantum Will not occur in any case where
a plentiful supply OF cold water is given
at all times and on all occasions, night
or day, whenever the little one desires
il. And further ] would like to impress
upon the minds of those who have the
care of children, to lay aside any scru-
pie of reserve they have in regard TO
giving cold water and to give it freely
hose not able t. let their wants be
known, should have It placed to their
lips and let drink to their satisfaction"

The Painiessness of Death.
From the Forum.

The act of dying, it is now ascer-
tanned, Is absolutely frer from suffering;
is really unconscious, insensibility al
ways preceding ii. ANY anguish that
may attend mortal illness ceases before
the close, as thousands who have recov-
cred, a ter hope had been surrendered,
have borne witness. Sudden and VIC
lent death, shocking to the senses, may
not be, probably is not, painful to the
victim. Drowning, hanging, freezing,
shooting, falling from a height, poison
ing of many kinds, beget stupor or
numbness of the nerves, which Is in
with sensation. Persons
who have met with such accidents, and
survived them, testify to this Records
10 the effect are numberl-ss.
