The expedition was attended by many circumstances highly interesting to hunters, and closed, as usual, with great mirth.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday the 4th instant, about 700 men of the neighboring townships, formed a hunting party.
