Cumming, it rained unceasingly throughout
the day, converting the rich soil on which we
were encamped into one mass of soft, sticky
clay. In the forenoon, fearing the rain would
continue sons to render the vley (through
which we must pass to gain the firmer ground)
impassable, I ordered my men to prepare to
march, and leave the tent with its contents

ing distant only about five hundred yards.
When the oxen were inspanned, however, and
???we attempted to move, we found my tackle,
which was old, so rotten from the effects of the
rain, that something gave way nt every strain.
Owing to this and to the softness of the vley,
we labored on till sundown, and only succeed
ed in bringing one wagon to its destination,
the other two remaining fast in the mud in the
middle oftlio vley. Next morning, luckily,
???the weather cleared up, when my men brought

two wagons.
We followed up the banks of the river for
several days with the usual allowance of sport.

Tho New York girl, says a correspondent of j
tho Cincinnati Enquirer, is trying once more {
to be a little man. She has these spells peri*
odically, and sometimes with considerable vio- j
leuce. The outbreak showed itself this time
during the soring, and now, with the advent,
of summer, seems likely to rage as never before.
w Pjbion is that it ull comes of equestrian-
lowing the spoor for a couple of miles, we drojv
ped it, as it led right away from camp.
Returning from this chase, we had an ad
venture with another old hull buffalo, which
shows the extreme danger of hunting bvffaloes
without dogs. We started him in a green hol
low among the hills, and his course inclining
for camp, I gave him chose. Ho crossed the
level broad strath and made for the opposite
densely wooded range of mountains. Along
the base of these we followed him, sometimes
in view, sometimes on the spoor, keeping tho
old fellow at a pace which made him pant.
At length, finding himself much distressed, lio
had reeourso to a singular stratagem. Doubling
round some thick bushes which obscured him
from our view, he found himself beside a small
xm>1 of rain water, just deep emmgh to cover
lis body; into this he walked, uud, facing
about, lay gently down nud awaited our on
coming, with nothing but his old gray face
and massive horns almvu the water, and theso
concealed from view by rank overhanging
herbage.
Our attention wu* entirely engrossed with
the spoor, and thus we rode boldly on until
within a few feet of him, when springing to his
feet, lie made a desperate charge after ltuyter,
