The country through whir* we uvw; passed was entirely destitute of inhabi tauu, but fortunately there was lots of teed for our horses, and fur two weeks' we made good headway, meeting with no ditiicultiw or incidents worth recording. A couple .f hundred miles were thus gone over w o,mparstive ease. As Tum Woudlitfe was a capital num.:- clan, he frsqueutly entertained us at night on his clartunet white we all Sat round our cheerful camp -tire after the day's tramp was brought to • close, and as the delightful strains of such airs as `The Girl I left Behind Me," or "Hume Sweet Hutue," floated -•-//- the vast plains, with alt.urt a sacred stillness prevailing more or less, none of uc could help being affected by the rare and , novel scenes with which we were aur rounded. Tots pleasant state of affurs was at last interrupted by a most %i,leal hail storm, great lumps of frozen snow pelting ..n both oi.n and been 'hetet really because moment's for • tuns to wove oo, while several of the horses ec wally turned tail and ran offs lung way in an opposite direction. After this another twenty-four buuee brought us to Fort Kearney,wLere we halted for a day to make sumo necessary repairs to our outfit, and shoe our horses. As lees than a dozen people comprised the whole place, no taducemenu seined for our staying any longer. Pursu:ng the eve° tenor of our way for another leo weeks, we came an sits: of a large party of Mormon emigrants hound for Slit lwke, and for days and nights we travelled and camped alongside of each other, till we reached Fort Laramie, • small trading fond little or On importance and possess - lug only a few inhab•tnts, a doctor be- ing included in the number. DOWN WITH o'HOLxLA. About • day or w before we reached this place I noticed some people fanning a sick man in one of the Mormon stag gume neer me, and before night he died, and on Warting that his death was caused by cholera, we were all more or less alarmed. The poor fellow was im- mediately buried. A few boars after, I was stricken down with the disease, the tint symptom, being entire loss of apps Lite, aontractien of the muscles, followed by greet difficulty in moving my jaws; in fact, I felt generally queer all deer. About a quart of brandy was poured down me, but I declare with no more effect than eater,for,l hardly tasted it. I also swaliowd pretty near all the renew dies in the shape of palls and powders that we had by utl, until I had the con- tents of our medicine chest very nigh exhausted. As sou° as the Fort was reached the doctor was consulted, and our worst fears were realised, being told he could do nothing for me, ea my case was perfectly hopeless. Under theme cir- cumstances it was deemed beet to push on, as delay could do me tie good, and • few hours would perhaps decide my fate. Before leaving, the doctor kindly gave me ► bottle of wine, for which he would take no remuneration, and which I was to drink in ease I should recover, but which he quietly told my oompanicns, was just about ittrpoesible. LANCASTER'S IAITH►IIL a11avICx0. From the first, Lancaster took the dun !emus position of wirer, and letting the other. get a little ahead of us, he stuck to me through thick and thin, as I lay perfectly helpless in the bottom of the ammo, and to this day I firmly believe I owe to his my life, for nothing but his uoeea•ing ears and wetobfulneas could have pulled me through. Poor fellow ! many years after, when softens had erowned his efforts and made htm a weei thy man, he met his end me the great' Pacifico, whether by fire or water no one row will ever know, but I cannot allow this opportunity to pate with paying • just tribute to • faithful and warm hearted friend, who stood by an in sow - shine and shade alike,and in all sincerity I wish to gay t•eeee to his memory !

HELM* OI ul 'it'Aut. In this neighborhood we saw our first buffalo. They would occasionally cress i our path in droves of hundreds, always with a hi,, old fellow taking the lead. Sewers! times we had to stop to allow thein to pass on, as scarcely any cbstruc!- titn would detain them, therefore it was absolutely necessary to do w, to avoid being tremolo.' down We succeeded in shouting a couple of young ones, which proved a great treat, as we sadly needed a change of diet from our continuous one of salt food.

I had however. wasted so mash away that when Lancaster one day betided me a small looking glass, and seeing how my fees was all twisted out of shape, i could not help exclaiming "Why,that ain't Tem Dark I" The tiresome crossing of the Platte, and various other ceases now made es anzioae f .r a little relaxation, and as soon as a astable place for camp ing purposes could be found we deter- mined to rest a while to recruit up. (reed was not so plentiful now, as the large parties ahead of us with their stook of horses, cattle and sheep, had made considerable inroads lute the pasture, in nonaequence of which we were com- pelled to shorten out day s march for fear cf using up .our hones. About a week's journey from the Pette an inci- dent occurred one beautiful bright moon- light oon- h At w o night which t all A• us a l en[o a tremendous state of excitement sod alarm. We had camped at a pretty li•Ce spot somewhat resembling a beaver meadow, ar.d which was surrounded by tall grass and high bushes. I happened to be on guard, itt company with a man by name of Hill, who CARO from Vir- ginia, and whom we picked up, I can't very well rememb, r now where. Being pretty close together and hearing no noi., I was startled and surprised at his calling out, evidently in great pain, "Dake, I AY *HOT !" and with that he immediately raised his rifle and fired in the direction, where the enemy was supposed to be, the re- port woke up the whole camp, and in less time than it takes to recount it here, all were uti1, wtmdenng of course what it was all about. Surely enough Hill was badly wounded, an arrow hav- ing entered the fleshy part of the thigh, I just exposing the point on the other side. No time was lost in looking after the injured nen, and at the same time placing lemmawss in a position of dateline to resist attack, if unwary. Strange to say, no Indians were in sight, but we concluded it was just one sneaking, cow- ardly rascal, hidden in the tall grass, who, pursued of the instincts of his race, could not resist the temptation of shedding blo, d. With considerable pain to the patient,we s000eede'I in extracting the arrow, which was really wort beauti fully conetructed,its drat head being pod inked as bright es steel, while the smooth trod meetly shade shaft was finished off with the customary feather, jest to per- fection. For the tir.t day or two we were anxious about the wound, as there was a pu.ssihility this arrow might be a poisoned olio, but fortunately it was at, and with the exception of making him go Mme fair several weeks, he suffered no further incoureuience.
