LEVER FROM COLORADO.
GREELEY, Col., Feb. 16, 1871.
Me: Enrrea. : Since my last letter,
a politicil o revolution has swept over
Colorado, and its tidal wave has
Wrecked tithe old ship, "Ring," and
left its tcattered timbers lying all
over thOTerritory. A peal of thun
der fronoo clear sky,' l --a bomb shelf
falling into their camp in time of
profoundest peace,. could not have
produced - such wild consternation
among the corrupt politicians,ps did
the unexpected blow they have re
ceived from the authorities at Wash
ingtop. This ring had its headepar
teh at Denver, with its agents and
tools located " where they could do
most good," at different. points thro'-
out the Territory. They
Rmanipulat
ed. and controlled 6verythina in
which their keen scent could detect'
the faintest trace of a lob," 'They
but lately succeeded in grabbing a
'number of thousands of acres of val
uable land' at Los Animbs, in the
southern portion of the TeFritery, by
means of fraudulent entries cand per
jury.. The Secretary' ofi the Interior
sent a special agent her6ao investi
gate the matter. Fortunately- the
age4t was:an honest map, who did
nut/consider it his business, to white
wash, but ,to ih,7t.stigath. The re
suits are', the .removal by President
Grant; of the 'Governor, Secretary,
and Surveyor General,. and probable
removal of a number ot miner 'offi
cers, and the threatened resignation
of Delegate Chaffee. The ring organ,
The Roc/',' 3lountatn Hems, is shriek
ing and fluttering terribly, andwash
ing its hands of "Grantism" in every
issue. The people—Republicans and
Democrats alike--rejoice and enthu
siastically 'endorse the action of the
President. He has " unloaded " the
Republican party in this Territory so
quickly that they feel a little dizzy,
but they will soon get used to it.
May the good work go on !

Jan 14.
The Feather continues very . mild
and pleasant. I have just returned
from an expedition out on the plains
after buffalo. Perhaps'an account of
the trip might be interesting to some
of your readers :Who - never hunted '
game of 4 ,such magnitude as the shag
gy monarch of the plains. Our route
was by the way Of Crow creek, and
from thence to the Pine Bluffs. Crow
creek rises north-west of 'Cheyenne,
in Wyoming Territory, and contains
no running water after passing Chey
enne, except en..otue rare occasions
after a heavy rain.. Near the forks
of East and West Crow, is the old
cattle rancho of 131 in Riff ; one of the
cattle kings of Co orado. This rancho
is close, by the-o d Indian trail by
which the Sioux pass from their res
ervation in northern Wyoming,to
the hunting grounds on the:Repuli
can river, and was the scene of the
latest Indian outrage iu this section.
The herder who had charge 'of the
cattle; at this station, was attacked by
a party of Sioux one night ,early in
the summer of 1'873. He took refuge
inside the station, which he held un-,
til ho heard ) _them pulling out the
chinks between the logs, of which it
was built. Knowing, that if he could
not escape by rushing out of the
building and eluding them in the
darkness, his scalp would soon be
drying in a Sion.% lodge,' ho coolly
buried a 'few valuables in the ashes
on the hearth, and with a revolver in
each Land, opened the door and
charged on the yelling fiends outside.
There was an Indian on each side of
the-doorway, who struck at him as
he came ont. Ho placed a revolVer
against the body of the Indian on
his right, and firing, spicing' over in
to the bed of the creek, without
waiting to see the result of his shot.
They followed him two or three
miles, but he finally succeeded in
reaching nyatt's ranche, where lived
his nearest neighbors, ' and distant
. about 'ten miles from his own sta
tion. The reader may imagine sonde
of the ditculties of his flight for life,
Nvhen I add that he was hare-footed,
-haying left his boots behind lest the
L3dians should follow, him by the
sound-of his footsteps, and that the
whole country is covered with cactus,
the-thongs - of which will pierce the
upper leather of- a thick boot. The
Indians enraged at the loss of their
intend,eh prey, burned the, station,
and departed for Fort Laramie to
draw their rations and amunition,
kindly tarnished them by Uncle Sam.
That herder does not believe in
"good" , Indianst to this day, aid
seoffs, at Quakers and the " peace
policy." The station is now aban
doned. '

sone,l 'all ,of whom were "boys in
blue,7 and we whiled away the even
ing, While sitting around the camp
fire, by " fighting , our battles over
again';' and for My part I must say
that I enjoyed the second , fighting of
them better than the first.' ; The sec- ,
and day's journey ,brought] is to the
Pawnee Buttes, famous in old Indian '
legends. The largest Bette is about
two hundred feet high, wits nearly
perpendictlar sides, andl there is
about a quarter of an acre of level
ground at its summit. The legend
tells us that meny moons ago, a
hunting party of Pawneei was at
tacked by a band of Sioux,jand that
the Pawnees, hard-pressed lby supe
rior numbers, retreated to the Bptte,
which cakbe 'climbed only on one
side, and by but one man at a time.
Here they could keep the Sioux at a
distance, but alas! two
_other 'ene
mies, as relentless as their hereditary
red foes, were in their lines. Han
ger and thirst assailed them. - Two
suns rose and set. „Thd, Pawnee
brave; in. his fittal slinaliber,l dreamed
of the running waters of the . Platte
and, the Loupe, by which dwelt the
old men of his tribe, wher ' wander
ed the dusky maiden wh was to
e
have, been the - star of his lo ge, some
day; when he had gained, renown,
and could present her withlthe scalp
of some celebrated warrior of! the
Sioux'or the Cheyennes—and where
rested the bones of his fathers. The
Sioux mocked at their misery, and
cooked their juicy steaks of deer and
buffalo in their sight,, and drank
long draughts of water from ! the'
spring,' but- a few hundred yards
away. , But one hope remained. The
Sioux, certain of their victims, grew
careleis and withdrew their sentinels
except those, at the point - at which
they, had ascended. The '-Pawnees,
tearing up their blankets and cut
ting their deer-skin garments into
strips, made a rope that _would reach
to the bottom of the Butte:' Clinging
to this frail support - they lowered
themselves, one •by One, down' the
face of the cliff,, and when the- Sioux
awoke, their prey had fled and left
nq trace behind them. "-
LAI little to the westward - of the
Buttes, we met with an adventure.
Quietly feeding in - a valley or "draw,"'
as it is called in this section, we dis
covered a herd of about forty bnffalo.•
TwO of ,our party gradually ap-.
preached them on horseback, while
the ethers stole upon them on foot.
They saw us and fled to the north'- .
ward. Abdut 'half a mile ahead of
theM, in that direction, the elevated
plateau or table' land on which we
werd, dropped suddenly =to a level
with the Pawnee Creek, Making a di
rectall of from t ,venty-five to a ban
dit and,fifty feet. Supposing that
,If
the tierd would turn either' to the
righ or left on reaching this descent,
we followed oh after them, the horse
men close in their rear. Directly in
front of the buffalo, 'a point 'of the
table-land prcjected into, the low
land s The passage from 'the main
land! on to this promontory was not
more than two. or three rods in
width, and then suddenly spread out
'so that there was a surface of some
eight, or ten acres 'of level land on
top qf the promontory. The horse

that' hey had no opportunity,to turn,

And dashed after them, thinking they

wagons at once. Bat never, a mo

the firing in their rear, without an
instant's hesitation, the . leader, a
venerable old bull, dashed over the
,cliff, and, like a flock of sheep, the'
rest followed him! When we reach
ed the top, and looked over, ' expect

~carcasses spattered about at the bot

see, and we foundi afterward that he

feet from the top of the cliff •• a shelf
projected some six or eight' ]feet, on
which they had first struck, and from
that rpoint to the bottom was a per=
pendicnlar fall of keenly-sepen and
one-half feet, by actual measurement 1
The ;trunks of a number of old fallen

the ground on which the buffalo had
fallen, and bunches of hair and pieces
of skin showed that more than one
of them had come in come in contact .

PAGARDLIIII. or
TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, PA'., APRIL '2, 187 i-.
WHO PRINTED THE near zit= ?
In the year 1420 there was living
in the eity of Haarlem an old gentle
man, who kept the keys of the cathe
dral, and who used, after dinner, to
walk in the famous wood that up to
this time is growing just without the
city, walls. One day, while walking
there, he found a very smooth bit of
beech bark, on which—as he was a
handy man with his 'knife—he cut
several letters so plainly and neatly
that after Ws return hdme he stamp'd
them upon paper, and gave the paper
to his boy as a " copy.' And this,
seeing that the thing had been neatly
done, the old gentleman—whose
name was Lawrence Coster—fell to
thinking of what might be done with
such letters cut in wood. By" black
ening them with ink, hemade black
stamps upon paper, and by dint of
much thinking and much working,
ho came, in time, to the stamping of
whole broadsides of letters—which
was really 'printing.
Bat before he succeeded in doing
this well, he had found it necessary
to try many ekpriments, and to take
intoihis emplly 'several. apprentices.
He did his work very secretly, and
enjoiped upon his apprentices to say
nothing of the trials he was making.
Bat 4r, dishonest one among them,
aftera time, ran:off from. Holland
into ermany, carrying wi th him a
tla
grea .many of the old gentleman'S
woo en blocks, and enti i e, pages of a
book which he, was about to print.
The Dutch 'writers credit this
story and hint that the runaway ap
prentice was John Faust, or John
Gnte berg; bat the Germans justly
say t ere is no proof of this. It is
certa o, however, that there' was a
Law ence (Castes, of the cathedral),
who;nsied -himself with stamping
lette and engraving. His statue is
on the market-plwe in Haarlem, and
his r4igh-looking books are, some o
themi now in the '' State House " of
Haar Om. They are dingy, and
print d with bad ink, and, seem' to
haveteen struck from large engraved
block , and not from movable types.
They re without any date, bet anti;

ity o Strasburg. He had two work
ing artners, who.. were bonnd by

art he was, engaged, upon.' But one
of these partners died ; and, upon,
this, his heirs claimed a right to know

Da writers think this brother may
have been the robber of poor, lii,W
-rence , Coster. Wit there is no, proof
of, it ; and it is too late to find any
proof now. There was certainly a
Peter Schoffer, a scribe, or deSigner,
who ;worked for Gutenberg, and who
fmisl ed np his first books by draw
ing lines around the pages and mak
ing, fornamental initial letters, and
filling up gaps in'the printing. This
Sch Offer, was a shrewd fellow, and
Watched Gutenberg very closely. He
useto talk over what ho, s l aw and
wha , he thought With Faust. He
told Faust he could contrive better
type than Gaetenberg was using ;
and, acting on his hints, Faust,' who
was a skillful worker in metals, run
typ' sin a mould.' This promised so
well that Faust determined to get
rid f.. Gutenberg, and to carry on
the usiness with Schoffer,--to whOm
he ave his only daughter Christine,
for wife.
F ust called on Gutenberg, for his
loa , wiCh Gutenberg could 'nt pay,
and in consequence he had' to give
up, o Faust all his tools, bis presses,
and his unfinished work, , among
whi h was a Bible, nearly. two-thirds
completed. This, Faust and Schoffer

I
AN AIMING BETTLEIKEW OF A CRFROR
QUARREL.
The following is a condensed sketch
from IL B. Proctor's comprehensive
work, " The Bench and Bar of New
York:" -
Seiard was a sort of standing
mediator of church difficulties in his
county.- Contending parties in those
disputes and troubles,whieh destroy
harmony and brotherly love in
churches would often seek his media
tion, and such was their 'confidence
in him that,each party would accept
his advice and settle apparently irre
concilable quarrels and difficulties.
Antamusing incident was once the
result of an appeal to him l in one of
these church difficulties, which I bad
for a long time threatened tha.de
struction of a Presbyterian church
in-a neighboring town.. At last it
was decided to submit all these diffi
.calties to Mr. Seward, and that his
decision should be entire* conch- .
site. He consented to become the
umpire for the parties r gava them
patient " hearing, and promised to
send them hi decision id writing.
In due time be arrived at a decision,
and enclosed it in a letter to one of
the leading members' of the church:
At this time Mr. Seward was the
owner of a farm in another part of
the county which was occupied by a
tenant, to whom he *rote at the
time he was about to mail his deci
sion in' the case of the clinrch.• It
was duly received by the proper offi
cer, tmd tho members of the congre-,
gation asseioabled to hear the deci-,
sion, of Mr. Seward, which was 'to
heal all difficulties and dissensions.
After calling the ,congregation
order, the moderator, in appropriate
language, explained the object of the
meeting. " I hold in my hand," said
be, " a paper which I am , about to' ,
open and read to the assembly, Which
is, I have* doubt; the olive branch
that is to restore harmony and pros
perity to this church and congrega
tion. It comes from one xvilO,!tko' a
lawyer, loves the Lord and is a peace
maker." Then breaki4 Open Mr.
Seward's letter lie read the following:
" Yon will take pa titular 'care of
that old, dongerous black bull, wild
often attacks people when not aware
of, his presence, and sometimes
plunges at them openly, and yon
must carefully see to, the '; repair of
the fences,' that they are built high
and strong, and also see that the wa
ter in the spring is always kept pure."
There was a mystery about this
advice that greatly puzzled the whole
assembly, who for a long time 'sat in
piofound Tle Moderator
,stood like one beWildered. Present
ly, however, he recovered himself
enough to say:
"
Brethren, I—l—don't I exactly—
that is to say, I—l can hardly see
how this applies to our case. Sup
pose we have a season of prayer over
it and ask the Lord for instruction."
Accordingly the congiega tion, knelt,
while several of
.the leading members
fervently addressed the Throne of
Grace. When the people resumed
their seats, one of the oldest, most
esteemed and pious of the , church
arose. i ,
" Brethren," said he, " not ing can
emceed the wisdom of -Mr: Seward's
decision. I have no doribt`the Lord
directed him when he wrote it, for it
is just what we need, and I know it
will restore Peace and . ' hartiony
among us. Look at its wisdom. The
direction to keep the fencei,in repair
is to admonish us to take good heed
in the admissiOn and government of
the members of this chnrch. We
Must see to it- that only those who
are regenerated are admitted to our
fold. The direction to keep the
spring: open and pure means that we
must not let our faith, our love of
God, and oar love for. each 'other get
cold and clogged; and. our 'daily Walk
and conversation ebrrupted by the
weak and - beggarly elements of the
wodd. And we must; in a particu
lar manner,set a watchful guard over ,
the devil—the old, dangerous black
bull, who - often attacks us when wet
are riot aware of his presence, and.
Who, with his long horns, plunges at
ns openly, and who has made - many
savage plunges at this church in par
ticular.'
These remarks opened the eyes of
all the people present to flu, wisdom
and enlightened piety of Mr. Sew
ard's decision. It was unanimously
Osolv,ed to abide by it, and peace,
good will and prosperity were. re
stored to the ninth; brotherly love
took the place of hatred,and piety in
creased. Nearly forty years have
Pass,ed away since this remarkable
decision was received by,that church.
Its organization has been continued
down, to the present time with unin
terrupted prosperity.
What effect Mr. Seward's letter
had on his tenant has never been
known.
THE LONDON FOG.
-
The fog which surrounded New
York the other day, and I so much
embarrassed our admirable means of
transit4hrough and out of
. the City,
was c pared by writers, who may
have lAard, but never can have seen,
that whereof they wrote, with a Lon
don fog. But while the British me
tropolis may be supposed by people
of the same class as these writers to
Le behind , us in everything else, ,the
fame of surpassing New York in the
article of fogs must, we fear, still be
conceded to it. Jading from the de- -
scriptions that come to us in the En=
glish papers the Londoners have
beaten us easily, and apparently
without any more effort than the
New-Yorkers exerted the other day.
But the Times, instead of glorying in
the pri-eminence as might be sup
posed, regards it as a calamity. It
lasted three days, and according to
that authority it paralyzed the trade
40 the metropolis, and indirectly af
fected that of the Whole country.' Be
sides the actual loss of time or money
thus inflicted upon many persons,.
the aggregate of mere inconvenience
has been something which it would
be difficult to exaggerate. Even the
omnibus drivers -are -said to have
been puzzled by finding "no indica
tion where the crescents go.' and to
have strayed from their accustomed
