better the corn on good ground.. So, even in the great

night, straining for -a fresher and cooler breath, of air,
almost gasping for life in the mid-summer torridity, re
flect that the corn is growing, ripening, night and day.
I Well," we don't have much corn weather out here; we
admit though we can raise fair crops of corn too and
really, we wouldn't take a two or three months' siege of

from Captain dark, and aa fr -agreed
with him that -th direction ef th
southwest fork gave it a decided prefer,
enc over th others, we ascended that
branch of the- river for a mile, fend en
camped in level handsome plain on
the left, having advanced only seven
mile. Hert w resolved to await the re
turn of Csptain Clark, and in the .mean
time make the necessary celestial ob
servations, aa tht' seems an eeeential
point In th geography or th watern
world and also to recruit the men and

all unloaded and stowed away on shore.
Near the three fork we" saw many col

martin attached to th smooth faces
of the llmeetone rock, where they were
sheltered by projections of the rock
above it; and in .the meadow. . war
numbers of . the duck. ox, mallard, with
their- young, who are now nearly grown.

with' six deer, three otter and a musk
rat, and had aeen great numbers of an

During all last night Captain Clark
had a high fever and chills, accompan

aued hie route eight miles to the middle
branch, where, not finding' fresh In.

ua about I O'clock very much exhausted
with fatigue' and the .violence of. hi
fever. ... Believing himself bilious, he
took a dose of Rush's pills, which we
