The XetTtpaper Press, This is a public benefioence and has much to do with the progress, advance ment, wealth and well-being of each community in its immediate vicinity. Every man is morally bound te give aid and support to bis home newspaper so far as he is able, or, as he is probably benefitted by its publication those who do not, rob the publisher of his just dues. Newspapers aro established and pub lished, in various localities, with the tacit promise of a just, if not liberal support, and those whe reap the benefi cial resulfs without corresponding re wards, are nothing else but selfish filch ers of the rewards and earnings of oth ers, and as such,, we think, should be held up to the just indignation of the honest and generous, as those who are dishonest, unjust, selfish and unreliable aa citizens or business men we speak more particularly of merchants, trades people, and mechanics who are especi ally benefitted by newspapers, which are the medium through which customers are brought to their doors, and to which they are indebted for half their business. A merchant may not oonsidor it prop er, politic, or even justifiable, to adver tise in every paper published in his re gion cf country ; he should correctly weigh the justness of his decisions, and judge of his own business in thisrecpeot. But he will never whilst possessing even the soul of manhood1, or the shadow of jnstioe of honesty, refuse to contribute the mite the price of a weekly paper that advocates his business place as a good market. We hold, that, for their o rn protection, publishers should expose such men, as readily as they should place locks upon their doors as safe-guards,-Bgainst thieves and robbers. The man who is too diminutive souled to throw a cup of water at the roots of the tree from which he gathers fruit, deserves to have the gripes for using it. Them.s our sentiments.

Now, although the post bill intimates that this stupendous contract is all to go in a lump, still we would ad' rise our neighbor to put in bids for 50 to 100 tons, and we have no doubt, but that with our facilities for doiug this work at the lowest rates, some of the contracts may be secured.

Early last week, in oompany with sev eral of the boy, we started out north wester) on an exploring tour towards the Loupe. Day warm and clear; went across the Bottom six miles, passing near several herds of buffalo. Boys couldn't sit. so they shouldered arms and e way shot at, wounded and followed a buffalo into the hill, where Jim made a finishing shot, and immediately, from a high point a couple of miles distant, bailed us. We turned over the pathless hills and was soon oh the spot, were the huge black tconster had passed the last struggle, Taking a rare chunk of hump-rib, for roast, broil nnd fry, three of the boys and ope team, we pursued our way leaving a team to transport the fallen game homeward. We passed over an exceedingly rolling, or, wo might say hilly country, covered with short, sweet grass, with little water and no wood, and scarce a bush to relieve the monoto ny of the waving ground, until wo ap proached near the Loupe, when we found some wood and more water. The pros pect of the Loupe as seen from the hills is very beautiful a broad rich valley in front, fine groves of waving timber, through which an occasional glimpse of the river may be had, relieved by hills in the back ground. We camped near the river, upon a de lightful spot, and soon a brigct camp- fire biased around our black camp kettle. Supper over and our skin-table removed for foundations to our sleeping arrange ments, heavy shower of xnusketos fell, which gave -us business enough until sleep overtook us. We dreamed of vast multitudes of buffalo, that filled the prairies and whose heavy tread and hoarse bellowings filled our ears, and we awoke to find ourself lying upon our back upon the prairie, as we dropped off, with ibo loud thunders of heaven rattling around, nnd the lightnings playiug about us fearfully. The boys were aroused and our grub, arms, ammunition and blankets half secured under a rude ten formed by drawing a wagon cover over a pole laid in forks horizontally. About the time we got well drenched the rain ceased, and daylight appeared just as we were again going off into a snooze, which held us fast until we were aroused for our buffalo-roast-brcakfast. Passing along over the hills parallel with the river, wo passed up, observing several herds of antelope. Passed over a small tributary to the Loupe, whose bankB were literally cased with fruit, and whose waters were alive with beav er, otter and fish. There, one might gather plums, grapes, cherries, gooseber ries and currants, (most of which are ripe) without stirring fiom the spot, and many as fine and sweet as we ever saw. Passing around over an extensive old Indian encampment, and some moBtrde lightful bottom and bench lands, and passing email groves of timber we reach ed a more sandy legion above ths junc tion of the two branches of the Loupe, and near a small. lake or pool, full of fish, some of which, with a hook and bit of twine, we secured and supped upon. Here we also found growing and ripen ing, a rare and delicious fruit, upon small bushes, not over a foot high, we named the sand cherry thoy were of nearly the size of a tame cherry,' and very abundant. Here we also found some cedar and other timber. At night the alarm was given "horses lost," and a general scramble to find out whether they had been stolen or had strayed, but darkness so effectually cov ered their retreat that we failed, and gave up to sleep and the results of day light. The truant nsgs turned vp a few miles off next morning, and as our lar der was entirely bare, we scud before the wind for home. Passing over the hills towards Wood River, about ten miles gave us a distant glimpse of that meandering stream, marked with verdant groves, and the broad Platte, befond. The antelope skipped away from our tracks, and soon open the high, cliffy points we could die cover the sentinel buffclo. The boys spoke of carrying the carcass of one borne, and so started out and, . "Soon from the uplifted tab . -t ' Ths mimie t&undor bursts, the letden dettb (yertikea bim, and, with many a giddy whirl, To sarth he falls, and at or feet expuf."
