excellent opportunity of witnessing
of these encounters. At the distance of

through a variety ol eccentric movements,
ot the moment perfectly incomprehensible.
To know what might be the cause, as well
perhaps to learn something new regard
ing this species, I left my horse, and made a
most careful stalk without oncej exposing
myself, retaining the advantage ol wind till
within a hundred yards of the old gentle
. The ground in the vicinity was much
broken, and before attempting to obtain a
survey of the situation I csconced myself
behind a boulder. I bad been eminently
successful the first glance told me. There
the bull pretending to feed, while four
prairie wolves were lying around him on the
sparsely covered soil, tongues out, and evi
dently short of breath from some excessive
exertion. None of the dramatia persona
had seen me, and I chuckled in my shoes
I grasped more firmly my double-barrel,
knowing how soon I could turn the tide of
battle. In a few mlnuteBtbe apparent ring
leader of tbe quartett got up and shook him
self. This wus the signal fo
get upon their plus. Prairie wolf number
walked quietly toward the bull,
sionally stopping (T believe after tbe
ot dogB) to pluck grass; then, with a
sudden spring, made a feint at the persecu
ted buffalo's bead. The buffalo iu bis turn
lowered bis os frontis, and rushed a few
steps to meet him; but this was unneces
sary. Now the rest of the fraternity ruBh
ed up. Another took the post of teaser,
while our friend number one dropped in the
; and when a second feint at the head
mado by Lis comrade, number oue
watching his chance, left a deep scar over
the bull's hock. Again and again this game
played, the same wolf always retaining
bis rear position. Is not tbe insliuct of ani
mals most similar to tiie
Here eacli wolf had his allotted work
doubtless that which was best suited for his
capacity.
The rear assault was the most dangerous,
for a kick well directed would unquestiona
bly have caused instaut death to the adven
turous assailant; but the most experienced
and expert had selected the post of danger
and houor- The flashing eyes and foaming
mouth of the bull told plainly tbe result;
I stepped from my place of concealment.
However, all were so occupied that until I
awakened the echoes with a loud "
whoop" I was unseen; but man's voice al
ways has an effect in cusea of this kind. Tho
vermin, with startled stare, plainly asking
what right I had to interfere, sulkily trotted
ofl ns I advanced; while the persecuted, in
return for my kindness, lowered his head,
and pushed rapidly for me, compelling
to seek safety in flight. Buch conduct in
the buffalo was scarcely commendable, and
very uuueual. I accounted for it by tho
harassing his temper Lad suffered, as well
his feeling how inadequate his strength
was for escape. Poor old creature, his days
were numbered, for as soon as my back was
turned, and a safe distance intervened be
tween us, the wolves returned; and
rode homeward, occasionally turning and
hailing to watch the gradually
tinct belligerents, the victim
ployed iu battliug for life. After all,

source from whence it emanates on a luxur

a young
sister, aud demanded his serious attention
a tale she felt impelled to unfold. A night
two previous to the time of her visit—the
elder sister proceeded to state—she had a
most strange aud startling dream iu regard
to a lost brother. This brother was a sol
dier in the late war oi the rebellion, and in
company with a comrade (who now lives
near the residence of tbe dreamer,) started
for home some time during the year I860.—
He never reached home, however, and has
been mourned as dead or lost since the time
mentioned.
On the night la question while locked in
slumber, there came to her the "ghost"
vision of her brother, and stood beside her
bed. The spectre Bpoke, telling who he for

vanished from her sight."

the ghost as his murderer, had been seen by
her on several occasions to hover about and

agitated for weeks past certain circles in the
pleasant town of Orange, N. J. About two
years ago, in tho employ of Mr. Elijah D.
Burnet, a highly respectable merchant, was
a young man of rather pleasing exterior and
address named ffm. Culbert. His

A daughter of his employer, Miss Annie

This discovered, on the principle, doubt

tender feeling followed, In the meanwhile
the attachment was jealously guarded by the
lovers, so that the parents of the girl never
dreamed of tho matter. Some business re
verses necessitated the partial breaking up
of Mr. Burnet's domestic establishment, and
young Culbert left, as bis employer thought,
lor pails unknown. By means only known
to lovers under similar circumstances, Miss
Burnet and young Culbert managed to keep
up their Intimacy and to meet occasloually.
Fiually, the young lady fouud it difficult to
conceal the affair, and between anxiety

she managed to work herself into a severe
illness. Alter some lime she imparted the
