BIG HERD OF BUFFALO LEFT.
From The Milwaukee Sentinel.

Twenty years ago buffalo robes the favorte
protectors OF bucolic travellers against the rgors Of
wlntry blasts Though somewhat coarse % the touch
they were almost mpervi0us to the cold of the
phere, and many youths and maldens Of those days
look back now with regretful feelings TO the sleigh
rides when they nestled beneath the annelbordered
and elaboratey-lned skins Of butalOes while their
light "cuttcr5' flew over snow-cOvcred country roads
TO the music OF juggling bells.
Bnt the great trans continental railroads made the
continued existence OF buffalo herds of the Oldfasl-
Toned sort impossible thing, and they rapidly faded
away, so that the robes which universally
used In the Northern States but a few years ago are
now looked upon a. vertabe antiques when, at rare
Intervals they discovered by hardy seekers after
relics OF the remote past. In the meantime all the
reports from the great plains have agreed In indicating
the gradual disappearance even of the remnants Of the
great drOves Of bison which formerly were wont to
shake the earth beneath their feet and TO bear down
all animated distractions in their front as though
they were bnt luttering leaves.
The cheering intelligence l. received. however that
the American buffalo Is safe, for the present at
least and tina this place of dener resort the great
Yellowstone National Park The superintendent OF
the park George ;. Anderson, writes to the Chicago
Academy OF Science that there are from 300 To 800
bufaloes now in the park. and that the number Is nm
doubtedly Increasing though not 50 rapidly as would
be the case II the animals had some haven of refugc
during the coolest days Of winter A rapid rate of
Increase Is not desirable perhaps but Il Is To be h0ped
that this aboriginal breed will not be permitted 10

THE STOLEN STATEN ISLAND DEED

Kingston. n. Y, June &c SpeciaD.-It now seems
certain that the stolen staten Island deed on the
document Elmer Willow, OF Krpplebush, claims 10

came from the state records. Part Of the stub in the
old colonial manuscripts which the deed pasted
stiu adheres TO the document and the imprint OF
the wax seal is found the opposite
page. Marius SchoOrmaber authority local
historical matters says that when Albany was
threatened by invasion many Of her public records
were sent to Kingston later when this place was IN
sanger Of capture all records Of the State treasury and
sther departments OF record sent TO Rochester
