Mr. 1' was remarkable for his powers in this way. He had a large mob of horsea on his run, and they were generally notorious for their buck jumping propensities, and 1 remember his accom panying me one day on my return home from his house to the diggings, mounted on uu animal just driven into his stock-yard from the bush. The forest here aud everywhere else in Australia, is covered with the blackened trunks of trees of every size, that have fallen victims to tire, and it is a usual thing for men well mounted to take a straight, line acroso it, leaping over such logs as practicable. We were amusing ourselves in this manner, when we came to one of the prostrate giants of the forest, which, although niy horse was a very good one, I should never have attempt id to jump, and did not imagiue V , ©u the little, ill-conditioned w c<> he was tilling, would think of doing. 1 was astonished, however, to observe him dig his spurs into the beast's side, rush him nt it, and, as 1 anticipated, make a clean sooiineisault over the trunk of a tree about foar feet high and tully as many broad—horse and man absolutely turning iu the air. F was accustomed to this kind of practice, (as he broke iu his owu horses.) and knew exactly bow to throw himself oil' on one side; and, in this instance, without (juStting his httld of the bridle, was on the horse's back again in an instant, and with w hip and spur urged him #n to the charge again. The same result occurred a second time, and now I thought it really was time to iuterferu, and not allow my friend to break his neck without some retuonstrauce on my part, lie merely wav ed his hand, and said that he could not afford to Spoil his hoses by sacrificing to my philanthropy, and ramming him at the leap a third time cleared it like a back, observing that had he not persisted in makiug him jump the log, he would have been spoilt for ever, and of uo use as a stock-horse, but tiiat now. in all probability, be would turn out well. This was a youug animal, between three and four years old. Nothing can equal a confirmed buck-juniper in equine depravity, and he is rarely if ever thoroughly cared of his vice. After the most quiet and docile behavior for weeks and even months, aud whilst travelling at an easy pace and lcos>d rein, the rider finds himself summarily ejected high up into the air, and thence over his steed's head, by a series of gymnastics, yclept buck jumping, which some sudden caprice of old en recollections have caused him to execute. Ho fixes his head firmly between his knees, curves up liis back and body into the shape of a ball, erects bis tail, and simultaneously makes a spring aud a kick that would unseat almost any horseman eith er unprepared or otherwise.—D'J£uk's Spurti/iy in both l/riiiitplwrftt. lMiiANij oh theTfxas Froxtier.—A coiiimuuica tiou from C'apt.
