A DAY'S SPORT Wtrd MR. WEBSTER ON
THE PRAIRIES.
SL Louis f (Mo.) June 16, 1837..

hunters prepared fur their sport. A shrill

noble pack of hounds on lite qni ive."
The dogs had scarcely putheir foot on
the hunting ground before )i deep, mouth

ed them to look out, for gairie. A few mi
nutes soon brouorht them on the trail of a
jine young doe whjch just sjirung from its
oeu ot Howers, alartuetl bjr its keen sense
of danger, arfd ftew with the fleet ness ot
the vvind acrnss the plain, Twelve no
ble hounds were -on its track, making the
air resound with their deep-mouthed bay
ins The beautiful doe went bounding
on, .witU Jts eyes wide, staring and its
head thrown back on its shoulders now
skimming over the level surface. of the
plain, now bounding overcome interve
ning knoll, and endeavoring, with the
cunning of the fox, to elude the pursuit
of its enemies. On, on it speeds, strain
ing evecy nerve to reach a little strip of
the forest which skirts the -prairie art tine
side, for which-.the deer always make on
being pressed by their hot pursuers
One bound, and with a mighty eflfoit, it
clears a broadband. sluggish stream, filled
with a tangled mass tf long . grass and
water lilies almost impassable except by
leaping. The dogs come rushing on,- with
naught butthe wished for deer before
their eyes and heedless of the treaclie
rous i ream, rush, in, .and are soon en
tangled in the mehes of the rank grass.
If the frighted deer could have spoken,
one would have imagintd it to be sending
back a note of triumph and prud defi
ance to its relentless pursuers, as it stood
on rising ground, and blew from its
nostrils awild unearthly; whistle, parti
cular to itself. It stood but an instant
t see hoSv cunningly it had brought them
in the snare and again bounded -forward,
making for 'the wood. Bu t the dogs were
uns" at the game, ant the hutiters
werje used to the stratagem which the
deer made to elutfe them. In view of this
movement, a portion of the party, with
two noble "greyhounds belonging tc Dr.

the wood to intercept iTs flight in that di
rection. A few more bounds; and the
timid deer would have found an asylum

In our . goou city on ineeveninw ot last
Friday. The first intimation of his ap-ju-oach
to the city was given by ; the dis
play of a snow-white.flag (a fit emblem
of the purity of its honored passenger)
,fctreaming from ..the bow ef the gallaritj
jiteamer, as it came booming over the bo
som of the great Father of Waters."
IJanners were hoisted on the heights of
at! the public buildings in the place, .and
ktreamers flying in every direction from
the riumcrous windows which looked on
the streets throagh which he would pass-
Thousands of our citizens hurried to tbe
wharf to greet his arrival. A national sa
lute made, the city resound with its deep
mouthed welcome. On his landing he
was escorted by an immense concourse
of citizens in carriages, un horseback and
on foot, to the National Hotel, where a
partments had been prepared for his re
ception. On the steps of the' Hotel he
delivered a short & pithy address,, thank
ing the multitude for the extremely flat
tering manner invhich they had received
himself and his family. Tlie city was
briJIiantlyiUuminated at,nigbt,and jrans-

emies before and enemies be-
ries, alFided the'm a delightful, refresh
ment, and ;pu,rjc water which, flowed
from a, spriiig gushing out of the side
of the mound slaked their thirst. The
party returned to town just sthe i sun
was sinking to his rest," richly laden with
the game which their s port had procured.
This is no exaggerated picture I was
one of the party. The next day, in com
pliance with the invitation of his nume
rons fclloW-citiens, Jr. W. sat down
to a barbacue, at which near 6000 per
sons wjere assembled, without including
the hundred. of ladies who contributed
in no slight degree to grace the sceue.
M'. Webster in reply to a highly com
plimentary Idas t to him and his variau-
public acts, arose and addressed -the as
sembled multitude nearly two hours, un
the great leading topics of the day. His
speech, afforded universal satisfaction;
and iit the course of its delivery he was
frequently interrupted with a most en
tiiusiastic cheering.' The party broke up
in great harmony, without any thing ha
vn occurred to interrupt the pleasure
of the day- every oue more than ever
inrpressed with the talent of litis great
man. v .
This morning he took his departure in
a boat for our neighboring city, Alton,
where he was received as he will be wher
ever he wemU "his way, with the most
hearty welcome. Thus has closed 4he
visit of this truly great man to our city.
May he every where be received with as
hearty congratulation and with that res.
pect of which he is so truly deserving
and may he soon fill that station, the
firsfin the world, for which his talents
so eminently qualify him.
