Whoever ill sires t< shoot a buffalo on the soil of Aumrii a must do it very soon. It is said, by good authority, that there tire now left on the Contin ent but two large In rds. of course there tire a good many scattering groups yet to be found; but the red men arc rapidly procuring the best weapons, and the number of Knglish men and Ann lieans who glory in the hunt is increasing with ryery year, and at the rate at which the lords of the prairie have been slaughtered for sometime past, there will search be a buffalo in the country live yum hence. State b'gislatures may do yvliat they please in trying to protect this n game from dc-trueti m, but it w ill la all in vaiti. Tie law* are n ' ro I. and cannot be enforced witiiout the presence of an army larger than that required to keep the Indians in MI tion, and to any one at all conversant with the country it seem-. r en that the poor buffalo "must go." The pursuit of this noble gem is most inspiring sport, and a chapter ■ 1 the a' tuul experience of a bun' ng party for a month would pr>e very attractive reading. It would be sometimes terribly thrilling, and at others imbriba.ilx luughui.ie, for both tragedy and comedy ha., their place in this yy 1 11 life, suppose I give a single instance of e.i It A few years ago a g nth-man from one of the Kastern states spent some weeks in the bnlTalo c uintrx, and dur ing his stay had the following Very re markable experience. He bad I ccn out one day for several hours without finding game, and, as the yy. itlnr yy.is excessively hot, had stopped to rc->t be neath a large cotton-wosl tree, yvli.- h stood on a gently sloping hill ah at half-way up its side. lie laid hi. rifle on the gr t-s beside him, and 1 1 near ly fallen asleep, when he was roused by a sound as if an army were man h ing past. Accustomed to lift on the prairies, he instantly guessed what it meant, and springing to his feet and glancing in the direction whence the sound came, he saw a herd of a thousand buffaloes ; ouring over the hill at a terrific pace, and coming directly to. ward him. Quick as thought lie saw what lie must do, and in less time than it tak. 4 totellit.be bad hidden himself away behind the trunk of the treo under whose Ismghs he had been re. lining. He knew the herd must divide in passing the tree, and at the speed they they were going it seemed probable that the brub 4 yy mid rush past with out noticing him. On came tin- great herd with thun dering tread, and, dividing right ami left, swept past the tre on cither ode so closely that lie could have touched them with his hand. He supposed they were simply running to rid them. lv. ,s of flies, as they frequently do on a hot day; but as the last of the herd xx'-nt by, he saw a strange *pe taele. One of th? row buffaloes was carry ing upon her shoulders, ami staggering under the weight of, an enormous panther. The monster's claws were sunk in the animal's shoulders and back, while his terrible teeth wera in her throat. Evidently she had been running thus for some time, for she sh wed signs of weariness, and at every leap she littered a low moan. It w as a strange sight to our hunter, j though the scene itself is doubtless re peated every day. it is no unusual thing for panthers to conceal themselves near a watering place, and spring upon their victims unawares. They usually select the cows, know ing them to IK* less capable of long endurance; and after riding them, as in this case, till, faint with loss of blood, they fall upon the prairie, the panthers take their meats at leisure. What seems singular is that, if the monster is seen by the buffaloes, they will face him and drive him away; but | if he once sets his teeth upon the throat of one of the number, the whole herd are seized with a panip and begin to run for life, leaving their unfortun ate companion to her fate. This was the case with the lo rd now going past; they were lie. ing for their lives from their dreaded enemy. Our friend was so much surprised, the herd bad gone several rods before bo thought of shooting at one of them; but suddenly coming to himself, and touched yyitli a fooling of pity for the poor beast lagging behind w 1 111 the panther ill her throat, he raised his rille and sent a halt alter her torment or.

One old bull, more daring than the ri-st, began xv.dking around the fallen ones to see what the trouble was.

A Plymouth witch has lately caused a good deal of dis comfort to a seafaring young man. He set sail with a smaek-owner of Brix ham, as a tnemlmr of the crow, but his health suffered in his maritime adven ture, and a physician advised him that he. was In danger of losing his eye sigdfc The master of the smack bade the young mariner consult a white i witch at Ilynmuth, and the sufferer I took his advice. The white witch I l-oldly declared that not the invalid but Hie whole sm.vk was under a spell, , and suffering from the wiles of sor . cerers. Tho master and tho lad visited i the witch together, but the sjiell could . not be removed- The youth then went . Into an Infirmary, and recovered nut i only his health, hut wages from his . master.
