Eonr days after the appearance of the advertisement which cost so much time and pains, three young gentlemen appli ed fox board. Mr. Pensico assumed a magisterial as- “ Ten dollars a week is m y fixed price,” said h e ; “ but as there are three of you, I don’t mind saying twenty-five dollars.” And on these terms Messrs.

Jones, who Wfi3 considerable of an elocutionist, read poetry alone to Mrs. Pensico, while she darned the family hose. On Sun day, Mr. Smith drove Mrs. Pensico to a chnr,eb ten miles away, in an elegant lit- tlo buggy, with a long-tailed horse. “ This is getting intolerable,” said Mr. Pensico. And be wished ha hadn’t wntten that advertisement.

WILD H 0 K 8 ES IN -WYOMIHG. For several months past a band of wUd horses have been roaming over tha plains in the vicinity of Pine Bluffs, forty miles east of here, drinking daily of the waters of Lodge Pole Creek, & fine large stream near that place. The leader of the band is a large, elegantly proportioned, jet black stallion, with sweeping raven tail and mane, fiery eye and majestic mien. Five days ago a party o f cattle herders decided to give chase to this wild mon arch of the boundless plain, and, mount- fresh steeds, set out upon lus traU. They had arranged for frequent changes of animals, with the view of keeping him in that immediate vicinity and i him out b y giving no rest. The band of flyers was found, and then commenced the long and arduous struggle between men used to the ways of vmd horses and cattle, skilled in every device fer \cutting out,” \rounding up,” etc., and an untamed rover of the plains, fu ll of subtle equine strategy, of wonderful speed, incalculabla nerve, ‘-‘bottom ” and powers of endurance. For five days and nights has the chase continued.
