Her hair was dressed a la lied Cloud, in which were twined a few sprigs of sage .brush, the whole shewed behind with a handsome pin made with a pine splinter and buffalo’s ear. She wore an elegant mountain catskin cap, festooned with antelope tails, secured under the chin with a rattlesnake’s- skin. Her feet were encased in buckskin mocassins, trimmed with beads and soldiers’ buttons. She created a big pensation as she entered the hall hanging upon the arm of Mr H. Barton, ©f Hallville, who was dressed in the style of his locality—buckskin breeches, in boots, hunting shirt .of the same, ornamented with beads and/tobacco juice, .and an army belt of the latest pattern round his waist, a pair of six-shooters and a I}ugs bowio knife, which set off his gallant ’'figure' to" good advantage/ Envious glances from both sexes followed this excellent couple round the hall.—“ American paper.”
