A person could scarcely pass a brush heap but a "rail-splitter" would start with her family with an "ugh !" He lost a drove of milch cows, which were gone on the prairies for 6 weeks before he found them; by this time they of course were all dry.

This, with Mr. S's business and political acquaintance, drew many people to his residence, which was like a hotel,-people coming and going, only with this difference : everything was free. Mr. S. was also agent for Geo. Peabody, of London, Eng., of world-wide celebrity. He was a man of strong convictions and firm in what he

was convinced was right. Was in the Legislature in the same ses- sion with Lincoln, with whom he had many an argument, being an opponent in politics. He was a firm believer in the Bible, but never joined any church. The year he came here a Baptist minis- ter heard of his arrival and said they didn't "want the dod-burned Yankee here;" but his enriosity soon led him to call around to sce how long the Yankee horns were.
