Thursday morning tho aiildects of this sketch passed through this city on their way from Putnam county, Indiana, to their home In Lincoln county, Kentucky, and from a gentleman who talked with them, we have obtained the following romantic atory: In 1941 John Elliot left hla horn and hla wife, who had born him eleven children, In Putnam county, this Slate, suddenly and In passion at aome slight misunderstanding that had occurred between them. He gave his family no Intimation of hla departure previous to leaving, and they never heard of him tgsln until after th lanse of twenty-sia years. The wife believed her husband dead, and after two years' waiting she gave him up aa lost to her forever, and married a respectable citizen of the county, named Ballon, and has resided happily enough wills htm near Cloverdale ever since, until laat week. It waa then that the first tidings ot supposed deceased butbaud were received by her. It waa In thla wise lhat these tidings reached her. A letter came to her through the hand of a person who was a stranger. This letter set furth lhat U she would visit a little town several miles distant from Clorerdale she would meet an old and very dear friend, and urged her not to omit making the visit at a crrlaln time.

The husband'a heart was also melted Into tender ness, and he embraced his aged but long deserted wife, with all the fervor ofa young and ardent lover, Tho pist waa talked over, tho sudden disappearance, long absence, and continued silence ol the husband eapislned, and then and Ihcre it waa agreed lhat they would spend the remnant or their lives together. The woman returned to her home In Cloverdale. She explained to her second husband all that had happened, and told him that she Mt It her duly to go with the first husband, from whom she had been ao long separated. The second husband, Ballou, wai loth to content, but the woman wai unchangeable In her determination, and he waa compelled to ac- iuleaeo. Their worldly effects were divided, and on londay Inst ths old ladr left Cloverdalu to telolu her husbtnd In the little village where the meeting took rlace, and Thursday they pasted through this city on lirlr wty lo Kentucky, When the husband left home he wandered off to Kentucky, where he remained until the California fold discoveries created such in cicltement In 1BI9, I wss seized with the gold fever, and left for th rich placers on the Pacific coatt.

An excursion parly' over the eastern division of Ihe Pacific Ilallroad, which traverses Kansas to Fort llayaand beyond, has Just relume I. Ths psrty wss composed of general ticket agents or v irous rall losd companies In th United States. They were jolly set urrellosil, Their main object ippctra to havo been to get a shot at the buffalo. At Foil llsys they borrowed carbines and breech-lnndlng rifles, but most of thcin were so Ignorant of the use of flreerms thst Ihey bed to he Instructed how to load. Of course there wss Imminent dsnger that such a patty ol hunters woulj kill mors or their own company than of the bnfltluea. They were whit we would rail a Pickwickian let of hiinten, who handled their firearms is If they were no mure dan gerous than a walking stick. Thirty miles west of Fort Hayi they unexpectedly ctme upon a herd of buflalort, and a correspondent thus describes He lu dicrous and exciting scene which thereupon ensued: When about thirty miles west of Hays, Iho cry "Buffaloes I buffaloes I" was beard, and amid a general rttli for pisiform and windows, and the ex clamations that arose from every side, great numbers of huge, hairy monsters wero seen galloping with unwieldy movements from Ihe lino of the Hack on either side, As the trsln rolled hy they strung out here and theie, many or them within fifty yards ins tance. We had surprised llietn. Great was the eiritemcnt on Ihe train. Madly Impatient, yelling and shouting, tho men rushed for the plstlorm an I bagLago car, got In one another's way, dlscharcea their weapons iicre and there st random. Not a few narrowly csraped being victims to Impru dent snd headlong carelessness. The tide entrance! In Ihe baggage car were bloekrd up, and within those unable to obtain a shot wrre frantically stamping and lu.'glng al tlio.s In li out ol them. Men who had nee rr be. ore held a rifle In their lisnds, discharged their arms not thlnklngof taklugalm. Some who had for gotten the Instructions about loading we re I Idlculoua objects of dcialr, aa tl.er atood bowlldered, after having vainly endeavored lo thrust In the'r cir Irldgeie al Ihu muisle. Leland, with unusual activ ity, clsmbered lo the roof or one or Ihe cars, and thence blazed harmlessly away wllh a pocket revolver at the fleeing herd, Several crowded for ward Into the lender, and from there kept up a steady Ore. Morsn was seen wrangdnz about the fmsaession ofa biilTalo riho, unliarintd. was mak ng good time over the plain -with his Honor, Judge hwecur, aud offering to bet four dol lars snd a half that It was hit bullet, and not that of the Judge, which had brought the game down. Meanwhile many a gigantic monster was teen to falter, while thuso jet untouched galloped rapidly away. Th raiding of bulleta was heard from tbe windows, snd the Isdict' rcreama were drowned In th yelling and ahnoling of th men, The train viae soon slacked up, and many not waiting for It lo slop, leaped out aud gave chase. So deceptive waa the distance that Iho pursued did nut seeoi lo gain, and It was not until many a one had given out from abeer exhaustion lhat it wsa seen to attempt to ovcrlske was fruitless. Still th firing went on, and bulleta flew In every di rection Some few took effect, the most railed, The parly were soon scattered over the plain, heed less ot tbe admonition they had received lo beware of Indians, and Intent only upon the sport. It vas ludicrous to witness the excitement, and lot behold er and hnntcr ahared alike the common fee-ling. The burly figures of Atmorc and Dsy were beheld run ning oluibly for awhile after the lugltlve animals, and then gradually lultcrlng, until, after having vainly chased fur a mile or mure, yielding to fallgu and excess of avordupols, and sinking, utterly fagged, upon the earpel like plain, gazing mournfully upon the rapidly dltspciring herd. Lighter weight kept up a lunxcr chase, and only ceased pursull when far uway uud out of sight In depressions of the seemingly level plain. To the northward waa seen a rust collection ut animals, covering several miles of ground, feed ing peacctully, heedless or the firing whose souud did not reach thern, 1 uward this herd several of the wounded animals made their way. They were pur sued by others ol Ihe party, and one of them fell about a mile from thu tialn, having received a well tent ball. Within a few moments tho body was sur rounded by a score of excited men, who with axe and knlle soon had th quarters, tongue, skin, tall, and horns separated. With these they returned, uud then let nut lor fresh victories. The train meanwhile moved off with a portion of the parly in search of fresh herds further on, From the summit ofoneofthe embankments thrown up by the side of the track the sight wss a grand one. to clear wss the atmosphere, snd so deceptive, the rr..inire irom tliO absence of tee or break In the turficc with which to mentuie the distance, that the Immense herd feeding to the northward on tire slopes orthebluffi teemed tcarcely a mile off, though lour times thst distance awty. Several of the parly were anxious to get a shot ut this diove, but, being unablo to persuade those who had already had enough of chasing buffaloes ou foot to accompany them, they wcic dissuaded when drily told by Curry that If they wished to get back they should hsve started early In the morning. To the south and east the hunters were strewn, singly aud In twos and threes, endeavoring to steal a march on the animals, who wers divided into droves of from three to a dozen each, and who bad ceased fleeing when at a safe die tance. The sport was pursued with varying auc ceaa. In aome cases two or three ahota sufficed to bring down a monster of an animal. But tbe buffalo never gites up nntll he Is dead, and many, after having run ths gauntlet of a dozen repeating rilies, galloped milca over the plain, and lull llleless too far distant for the tlayer to secure his trophy. Tho legs of some were broken with bullets, sud lit they ran off at great speed, sticking tnelr mutilated Hump Into Ibe toll at every step. 'Ihe game was pursued with the utmost reck, lessucss and disregard of danger, and when the day's adventures were afterward coaaldered, all felt thank ful that no accident hal occcurrcd.

This action on Ihe part of Mr. Kennedy gave great offence lo the Democratic members of the Folic Board, and Ihey decided, If possible, to countermand this order.

Commissioner Brennin also Intended to offer a resolution admitting rrportert to Ihe meeting, inch councils btlhg by a itandlng order of tbe Board prl vate.

Mr. Aeton was of opinion that the Major's procla mation would have thst tendency more than any thing else. The Mayor ttited that he wit ready to defend hla proclamation when It cum up; but at the present time he did not with his name mixed up with the de bate.
