the club, and . large package Of st.
Lyuis and Mexico papers, the news
from ~bien was eagerly desoured the
following day.
The weather thus far has been most
favorable for hunting and nshiog.
On THURSDAY the hounds took up
the track u a large catamount, pur.
sued him for many miles and he was
inally shot by one OF our guides, Mil
lsrd Mackey, who with r r. Arnold,
Jr., 18th On horseback, were In hot
pursuito Of him. He was nearly as large
as une Of our deer hounds, ami would
have been 3 dangerous foe 10 a person

skin properly dressed and preserved.
Every dag our larder is replenished

Quentiy they are 81 broad no gun Can
Cover them Still we keep up our
spirits and are thoroughly enjoying
ourselves.
What adds greatly TO our enjoy
mene is The excellent isning. Every
afternoon more than half the party
inuulge in fishing, and never return
unsuccessful. We have never seen fin
er strings OF fish secured In the same

mall mouth bass, the striped bass,
ROCK bass, the Jack saimon. the pike I
pickt ral are the varieties secured. and

The deer are pot as plenty as IN
former Jeans, owing probably to the
scarcity Of mast They, like squirrels.
will travel until they hnd plenty OF
acsrns IL is quite likely that 70 the
' Dilly regions surrounding this vast
stretch of bottom lands, particularly,
such parts a. nave q large acorn crop
