.No one ean look into the"history iof the buffalo bri this continent, its vapid extirpation east of the Mississippi, and whenever civilization]iiVcal'ly i p t s .jier foot, without, a feeling of pain; r With the Indians, these splendid herds are rapidly approaching extinction. The present rango of the Buffalo is tho Groat Plains between the northern part bf.Texas and the I t e i i K i v o r of the ISfortb, and bctweon the MisBouri River!' and tho R o c k y Mountains. Hero t h e y exist in immense numbers, 80 great that parties .crossing tho plains havo soraetihies bceu a wook arid moro in passing through a herd. Mr. Hayes , tho artist, writes : "The buffalo, is a timid animal, and gener­ally, will run from a. man ; but when

! parties are in the neighborhood of ono o ' those herds, the groat danger is from a stampede, in which case it re­quires tho utmost caro and watchful­ness to prevent the mass of frighten­ed animals from running over tho camp, or making the cattle break

1 from the corral, and join tho terror stricken herd, leaving the traveler tpjpursuc the remainder of his journey on foot. ' •

Tho cows bring forth in the snrinar. producing one and sometimes two' oalves, at which t ime thd herds break into small bands, of from balf a dozen to fifty ; and remain so until, the au­tumn, when they come together again,

Many attempts have been made t o cross tho buffalo with the domestic cattle. Tho buffalo bull has boon

crossed with the domestic cow, and | the heifer calf from this union has bred with both "tho buffalo and domestic b u l l ; no attempt has suocceded in crossing tho domest ic . bull with tho buffalo cow. The bufflilo- has been broken to tho yoke, but is said to be unreliable and dangerous.

Tho hump is caused by tho prolon­gat ion of the prqcesBos of the spine, commencing at tho first dorsal vote-bra. The second, which is longest, sometimes measures twonty^ttyb Inches in length. Across tho top pf those processes n ips the strong l igament which serves to raise I the enormous1

Up Red Biver, however, be hie I f he misfofttone to bo Wounded, arid in that condition foil . into the bands of t h e enemy after the battle of Pleasant Hill. 'tft,. Was sent*With others to Ty­ler, Texas1, Where he ' became insane, and from 1 hence lie was transferred to the lunatic asybim at Austin.

The news emtio back home that ho had been killed at Pleasant Hill, and ho waa.sq reported on ibe ^plls o f his regiment.- Ris 'young bride'mourned tpr b i m yearly tWp yr»ars, wbon, on the advice o f her parents and-friends, BIIO abbepto'd tho hand o fanotber ,and mar­ried him last December. Her first husband ' was discharged from (he asylum restored' again to his reason, and so flppn, as 'ho,could accumulate tho necessary means, ho startod for 'fibriio Arrivirig at N o w Bbstbri, th<' nearest river town to AlCdb, ho felliMi with a man ft<om that place; ami wiTh-out making himsolf bnowitj soohlearn­ed the condition o f affair* at' home. Grieved beyond expression, he thought ovor tho situation and finally, deter­mined, like Enoch Arden, to ToaVe his whilom wife and hor new-found love to themselves. Fol lowing out the re­solve, he eame to this c i ty and thence wept up into Tama county, where he had distant relatives living, The de-slre'tb hear from his old'Hbttio became lit'last so absorbing that under aii as­sumed riafnc, he subscribed to the Aledo fictord, the vil lage paper.

Last month he saw rtn ailuouiioe-mbnt d f trie death of his wife's scrond hirsb'rtrid together with a jiaragrajih «ympathi'/ing with the bereaved itfrt-ow, and g iv ing an account of his'own melancholy death ns illustrative of flic Ital'dneBS of her lot, Knowing that his. wife was again fi-oe, ho forgot

wlliitovor i'..ui.i,ii,i,.>ii lir. rtilglif. lifrvr felt over her second marriage, and on Saturday last he put in luV Appearance in'person. W h a t was siilil at that eventful1 meeting we have no idea. Whether without a word, tho reunited couple rushed into each other's arms a n d v o w e d that bygones should be by­gones, or whether criminations and re­crimination, followed, only to be at last overcome by the hallowed recol­lections of days before the war, wo know wot.
