by a letter received at the I lten-i

Louisville. Kentucky. which is as
follows:
`"I have, or ought to have. a

letter received from him at nthat
timne it was his intention to quit 1
that place immtediately and mni
to the utipper parts of the Missouri I
river, being enticed thither by ru- I
more that gold was to be found in t
great abundance in that country.
"We directed a letter to his In- 1
dian territory aldress, but have
never received a reply or heard I
from him with any certainty for
about twenty-eight years. We sup- c
pose hie moved north, locating in a
the territory of Montana or Dakota,
and if in the forim.r place we hope u
to find his residence or address
through the assistance of the Jour- o
nal.
"His name is Peter Kahlkoff; he
left here in 1849 in a company of :
gold seekers known probably more
widely than I am aware of, and in
spurious parlance as the 'Forty
niners,' by reason of the year in ii
which they departed, and later
were distinguished from other min- I
ers by the sobriquet of Grey Beards,' F
and I believe it was pretty gen- Ie
erally understood, in mining circles ii
at least, that every individual in of
the ganlg was a bachelor and soie- p:

"These facts, if seen in your pa-. ti
per, might lead to the discovery of if
the object of our long and anxious di

Always eat your breakfast before

any breakfast don't journey.
After violent exercise, like put
ting up the stive or nailing down

an open carriage. It is better to
walk. It is also cheaper.

your mouth shut too.
