Jne tare for the round trip from Rensselaer, Pleasant Ridge and Marlboro is ■?2.QO. From .Rose Lawn, Fair Oaks and Surrey $2.25. Tickets are good for five days, allowing all who desire to do so, to remain in Indianapolis dating the entire Fair. Mr. David J. Thompson returned from the wooded wilds—of Northern Michigan, last Friday, looking healthy and jolly; and brown as a nut,’ and (the girls think) as sweet as a blackberry. He had no end of fine sport, fishing for grayling, and bass r and al,so done some shooting among the of the wildywood. He wont out one day, “loaded for bar;” and although Brum (or perhaps it was David) kept a safe distance, he did get a shot at a fat .young ‘iwild mutton”, as aforesaid, and had something for dinner, the next day, which reminded him, much, of the flavor of deer meat. The whole country up there is one vast Menagerie, of wild and ferocious beasts, suoh as bears, panthers, lynxes, catamounts, wolverines &c. Last-winter, a man killed, near the place where Mr. Thompson was staying, an animal which he things, from the descriptions given him, must have been JULOUoce. An animal which we had never supposed to be found wiki, in this country.
