servations. I took a few bearskius, made
a pallet of them, and calling my faithful
dog to my side, lay down, with my gun
elose to my body, and in a few minutes, to
all appearance, was fast asleep.
A short time bad elapsed, when some
voices were heard, and from the corner of
my eye. I saw two athletic youths making
their entrance, bearing a dead stag on a
pole. They disposed of their burden, and
asking for whiskey, helped themselves free
ly to it. Observing me and the wounded

who they knew understood not a word of

watch, and took them to a corner, where
a conversation tO"k place, the purport of
whieh it required little shrewdness in me
to guess. I tapped my dog gently. He
movi.d his tail, and with indescribable
pleasure I saw his fine eves alternately fix
ed on me and raised towards the trio in the
corner. felt tjiat he perceived danger in
my situation. The Indian exchanged a
ln?t glance with me.

selves jnto such a condition that already

wou'd 1=090 reduce her to a like state.—
Judge of* my astonishment, when 1 saw
this incarnate fiend take a large carving
knife, and go to the grind-stone to whet
its edge. I saw her pour the water on the
turning machine, and,watched her working
awav with the dangerous instrument until
the sweat covered every part of my bod v.
in despite of my determinatiQi, to defend
myself to the last. Her task finished, she
walked to her recliqg sons, and said,
"There, that'll soon settle him I Boys, kill
yon -r—r. and then fyrtbe watch.''
I turned, cocked my gun locks silently,
touched my faithful companion, and lay
ready to start up and shoot the first who
attempted my life. !J,'he moment was fast
approaching that might have been my lust
in this world, had tfot Providcni.e made
preparations for mv. rescue. All was rea

slowly, probably contemplating the best
way of despatching ine, whilst her sons
should be enenged with the Indian. I was
several times on thp eve of rising and
shooting ber on the spot—but she was not
to be punished thus. The door was sud
denly opened, and there entered two jtout
travellers, each with ,« long rifle on his
shoulder. I bounced upon my feet, and
making them most heartily welcome, told
them how well it was for me that thev
should have arrived iu that moment. The
tale was told in a minute. The drunken
sons were secured, and the woman, 111 spite
of her defence and vociferations, shared
the same •ate. The Indian danced with
joy, und gave 11s to understand that, as he
could not sleep for pain, he would watch
over us. You may suppose we slept much
less than we talked. The two strangers
gave me an account ol their once having
been themselves in a somewhat •similar
situation. Day came fair and rosy, and
with' it the punishment of our captives.
They were not quite sobered. Their

Hunting Wild Horaea In Kumi.
We notice in the 1'alarmo Leader an
offer of a reward of f500, for the capture
of a cgrtain milk white wild mare, now
runniag at large in Dickenson county.—
She is described as a natural trotter,
never breaks her gait time supposed to
be 2:19}."
It is not generally known that wild
horses are found in several localities in
Kansas. At the time
of the first settlement
of tbe Sountry they were quite numerous,
bnt since then many have be»n captured,
killed and run out until they are now be
coming quite scarce. Several herds still
remain upon the wentern portions of the
Delaware Reserve, and some exist in other
reserves and Unsettled portions of the
Territury.
It is only the poorest
and
ter, and generally succeed iu showing
•'olean heels in every attempt, to capture.
With them ''eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty:" and possessing sharp and
acute senses of sight and hearing, and al
most remarkable power of scent, they ar»
ever 011 the alert in their use, to guard
against surprise or trickery.
All of thes* horses have a "nStoral
gait,'' either trotting, pacing or galloping,
and from these gaits they never break,
even in the swiftest pursuit. Many pacers
have been found which could outrun the
swiftest American horse brought against
them.
These wild hors-s have sprung from In­
dian Ponies, which escaping into the wil
derness and relapsing into a wild state,
have produced tbe present stock.
In many instances American horses,es
caping from their owi ers while crossing
th" plains, have joined these herds, and
produced a cro.-s between the two. This
variety is a great improvement upon each
of the originals, nniting the indurance ot
the Indian i'otiv with swiftness and grace
of tlx American breed.
The capture of the wild hotae, ttesides
being n dangfrou* undertaking, is one re­
quiring great skill in the use of the liisso,
as also a knowledge of the habits of the
animals themselves. The mares will de­
fend tbeir colt* with ?reat ferocity, and the
studs will often come to the rescue of a
comrade ia the toil» ot a hunter.
A common plan, and one that is often­
times saccesafal, is coraling. This fs flone

From the New York Ind«p»ndi»nt.
Th* West.
Xo part of the country has suffered so
much during the long continued commer
cial (Jerangements with which the nation
has been afflicted, as the West. Her
movements, of late years, have been too
rapid. Not satisfied with a steady growth,
nor with even extraordinary prosperity,
she has plunged into reckless speculations
in wild lands, city lots, railroad stocks
and bonds—everything which promised a
short cut to fortune. No part of the
real enterprise than the
has more
•Tesfr atid 'none which can present so
many tempting incidents to labor. With
lands by millions upon millions of acres,
the richest, perhaps, in the world, no man
who exerts himself need fear of not having
"enough and to spare." We wonder not,
therefore, at the rapid recovery in that

creek, with wings extending to the bank
on each side of tha trail used by the herd.
This being done, a party or several parties
of men. mounted upon switl horses will
proceed to hunt the herfl. Finding them.
they give chase, and endeavor to turn
them in the direction of the concealed
coral. They are often sncocssful. The
herd will follow their enstomary trail, cross
the creek, enter the wines, and being pur
sued closely by the horsemen, are forced
into the coral, when a gate is closed on
them by a man concealed,for that purpose.

thin manner.
Another method is sometimes tried—the
horse i* shot with a tifle ball in tfla upper
part of the neck, nbout a foot from the
ears. The effect is an instant paraly/.a
tion of hi« strength, loss of the use of his
limbs and an instantaneous tumbling to
the ground. This effect only lasts a few
minutes', atid the hunter most instantly
seize the opportunity to tie his feet and
otherwise secure hini before be recovers.
The horse is uninjured, and if he recovers
before the hunter secures him, he will es
cape, ami perhaps show fight. This method, I
neoesnary distance, au unerring aim, and
attended with considerable danger, is not
often resorted to, and is seldom successful.
Continual efforts are being made to cap
ture these wild horses, by organized par­
ties. Tbey succeed in one way or the
other, and sometimes shoot tbem when
they fail lo take them alive. They have
bucu thus thinned out, and aro fast de
creeing. The llowsrs of the flock" only
remain, and tbe one referred to above is
one of this class. In a few ye«|s Uu^wiU

After being securely entrapped they are
starved for some tiim-, in onler to render
them gentle, then lassoed and taken out,
and easily broken to the saddle or harness,
as their owners may desire.
Another method of capture is sometfme*
resorted to. In the summer and fall the
horses are always in good condition, and
to undertake to run them d.wn is a fruit­
less task, bnt in the late winter or early

Doing It-Brown.
A remarkable exhibition took place in
our amphitheatre on the last day of the
fair, says the Hopkinsville (Ky.) Mercury
one perhaps never before witnessed, and
which would have been a noticable feature
at any exhibition in the world. Ten broth
ers, named Brown, all fine looking fellows
with a very marked family likeness, with
long, flowing beards, dressed in a similar
apparel, and mounted on ten superb gray
chargers, which they rode in fine style, en­
tered the amphitheatre and dashed around
the arena as gracefully and as fearlessly
as a cavalcade of brave Bedouins chasing
a retreating puemy over a desert. They
twined and intertwined in every variety
of graceful evolutions. Now in lengthen
ed line, now whirling in intersecting cir­
cles, now thundering all abreast in one un
broken line, whose front seemed as im-
section from late troubles. It will require pregnable as a Macedonian phalanx,
yet more time to bring things all right aiid whose advance #as as steady and im

ily, is now certain. Light is already ocean. The excitement was intense, nn-
dawning Our merchants report, of late, bounded, and universal, aud the spectators

but with courage, cheerfulness, and re
irenchment of expenses, they will find
land not far ahead. We would say to
Western merchants at this critical time,

tempt to do so, before you sleep another
night. If you can't pav all. pay a part:
and if you can't pay a dime to-day, but
