- HELENA WEEKLY HERALD. LOCAL NEWS. I \ 't From the Daily Herald of May 83. The B aiii for the Recent Reported Indian Hanaere. It appear* there was some basis for the re- cent report of the killing by Indians of Spe- cial Agent Simmons and party. A gentleman from BenUm informs us that, at Grand Bute, about midway between the Mubcleshell and Fort Peck, the Mackinaw containing Sim- mons and party was hailed by Sioux from the river bank and the men requested to land and have a medicine talk. The Agent signified that time was too pressing to comply with their wishes; whereupon the gentle red children commanded the party to stop and talk or take the contents of sundry fire arms loaded and in hand. The boat kept on its way, and sure enough, the Indians, as good as their word, opened fire, sending a shower of bullets whistling in unpleasant proximity to the navigators of the speeding craft. In turn several members of the party toned loose their Henry rifles, scattering the child- like, untutored savages in short order, who betook themselves without halting well out of harm’s way. Agent Simmons reached Fort Peck in safety, remained at that post eight days, bountifully rationed the “Government wards,” ander his charge at that place, and returned to Fort Benton on the Nellie Peck. The Agent, we understand, retuns down the river by the same steamer, to his post of duty 00 Sunday next. Fenmal. —CbL Viall, Indian Superintendent, is ex- pected to reach Helena Saturday morning. —Geo. Higgins, who has been confined to his house by sickness for several weeks past, was able to be ont again this morning. —Alexander Kemp, who met with a pain- fuLaaeident lost week, while ont in the moun- tains, is able to hobble about on crotches. —Hon. H. L. Hosmcr, of Virginia City, arrived In town last evening, on Jiis way to California to present to the interests of that SKatfe'SOme facts pertaining to the great ré- sonnes of Montana, and the relation of that Territory with the Pacific Coast. Judge Haaret» thoroughly understands the situation, uwLis able to show, by correct statistics, fhe importance of connecting Montana and Cal- ifornia by a lateral line of railway such as has been projected already between the Cen- tral and Northern Pacific roods. We arc glad to see one so well Informed take this subject in hand for mach good will follow his showing of the necessities of the coun- try.—Corinne Reporter, 1744. ^ A «3,000 Silver Button. We saw to-day a very handsome silver button at Koenigsberger & Bro. ’s It weighed 175 pounds, and its value in coin is a trifle over $3,000. This button was brought to the Browned In the Hellfale. A sad occurrence, resulting in the death by drowning of a man named Louis Caro, trans- pired last Saturday at McWhirk’s ferry, on the Hellgate. A correspondent writing from Missoula under date of the 20th inst., to the Gazette, gives the following account in refer- ence to the accident : “Lite nt night, say 10 o’clock, one of the men running McWhirk’s ferry on the Hellgate river, heard some one calling from the other side of the stream, and thinking the call proceeded from a couple of men on foot whom he had crossed in the ear- lier part of the day, decided upon venturing over. Arriving at the other side, however, he found two men from Sievensville—Mr. Wins- letta, a store-keeper in that place, and Louis Caro, well known as a trader in Cedar Creek —and with them a wagon loaded with floor. The hoatman then strongly objected to ferry- ing the party, both on account of a want of light, and also the absence of bis companion. Caro, nevertheless, was veiy urgent in his desire to be taken over, stating that he under- stood boating, etc., and that lie would act as one of the crew. Thereupon a pair of horses with the wagon was driven on to the boat, and Caro, being desired to let the after line pay out, she was started out into the carrent. Through some misunderstanding or excitement on Caro's part, he held to the rope so as to cause the boat to stand fairly across a very swift current. The immediate result was, of courx, the dipping and filling of the boat, and eventually the bursting out of one of the «des, setting her adrift in the river. Mean- while Caro, on seeing how mattere stood, leaped towards shore, which was but a few yards off, and Wislette immediately followed, the team taking the wagon into the middle of the river about the same time, the ferryman sticking to the boat The result was that Winslette got on shore, Louis Caro was drowned—his body not yet having been re- covered—and the ferryman made land about half a mile below.” ------------------------- From the Daibr Herald of Mav 84. The Sliver Mines on Ten Mile. Mr. J. F. Wilson who has been np among the rich silver mines on Ten Mile returned last evening, and from him we learn the fol- lowing items: At the mouth of Beaver creek, McMillen & Co., who have been working the entire winter, have six splendid leads. They started a tunnel early in the winter to tap the Champion mine, (which showed a six foot vein of fine ore in the discovery shaft) at a depth of 100 feet. In running the tunnel" they cut through three new leads that look very promising. The tunnel is now in 170 feet, with indications of the Champion close at hand. A forty foot drift in the Michigama lode exposes a clear vein of ore eight feet wide assaying 450 ounces of silver per ton. The others have been sunk on sufficient to test their A H nuw a f Accident. Last evening, jilst before sundown, an ac- cident occurred which resulted in the break- ing of a man’s leg, and the dislocation of his left shoulder. It appears, from what we can learn, that Felix Ingram, in company w ith another young man, whose name we did not ascertain, were out taking a drive, or rather had started for n drive to the Hot Springs. After they had readied the top of the little hill on Clore street, it seems that Ingram, who was driving, used the whip a little more freely than the horses were disposed to submit to quietly, and the animals, (whether frightened or not we cannot say) commenced running at the top of their speed. They became entirely unmanageable, and when opposite the Reduc- tion Works they took a sudden turn to the right, upsetting the vehicle, and as above stated, resulting in a broken leg and a dis- located shoulder for young Ingram. The buggy, we understand, was also badly “stove up,” but the young man in company with the injured party, fortunately escaped unhurt. Mr. Allen, the Ice King, who was passing about that time, assisted Ingram in his car- riage and conveyed him to the city, where he received proper surgical aid, and is now do- ing as well as could be expected under the circumstances. Removal of the Land Office. The U. 8. Land Department, comprising the Register and Receiver’s office, was re- moval to-day from Rodney street to Holter’s Granite Block in the rear of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express Office. This will make very convenient quarters. The entrance will be on Grand street. Arrival ml Another Steamer. Fort Bentos, May 24.—12:45 p. m.- steamer Far West is just coming in. city yesterday by Prof. Marsh, and is the re-1 permanency and richness, and the company suit of a two weeks’ run of the Jefferson Smelting works. Prof. Marsh and others interested in the new smelting works feel highly elated at this splendid result and are firm in the belief that the same flattering re- sults will continue during the year. This valuable button will be cast into bricks and ■hipped East by Wells, Fargo & Co.’s express. ---------- ioi I m ------------------- T. JT.laden. We notice by the Walla Walla Union that our young friend and former townsman, T. J. Anders, Esq., is a candidate on the Re- publican ticket foi Prosecuting Attorney of the First District of Washington Territory. Mr. Anders is a young man of fine abilities, a staunch Republican, and we shall rejoice to announce his success at the forthcoming élection. Anders was one of the most de- servedly popular men in this county ; and this was illustrated in one of our elections when a candidate for Probate Judge he came within 14 rot«» of beating his opponent, while the balance of the ticket ran 200 behind. may well feel satisfied with the result of their hard winter's work. The boys say all they want now to make them happy is a smelter in heir vicinity, with a man at the wheel who un- derstands his business, and they can furnish the necessary food to make it a success. Still further up the creek there are many leads under way of development, and the majority of them will compare with the best found in the Territory. The creek has now reached the high water mark of last year, with an abundante of snow on the range to furnish a good supply of water the entire season. At Clarkson, the several placer mining com- panies are busy at work, with better results than ever before, Broadway. Mr. Chas. Cannon, and other property hold- ers on Broadway, have had a survey made of that thoroughfare from Main street to the top of the hill—east side of Ewing street—with a view of grading the hill to a uniform slope, thereby avoiding its steepness and improving its appearance. We saw a diagram of the proposed work in the office of W. W. John- son, the engineer, which shows the amount of cutting at each 50 feet of the distance, which is 850 feet ; and are informal that the top can be reached with a grade of one foot in nine and a half. The proposal improve- ment will be a great benefit to the property on the line of the street, and will enhance its value far more than its cost. Mar« Mlksieaurles Coming. A private letter, has been received, stating that Rev. Sheldon Jackson, Superintendent of the Presbyterian Mission for Colorado, New Mexico, Montana, Wyoming and Utah, is en route to Helena, having left Corinne on Wednesday morning last. He is aceompan- ied by three missionaries of the Presbyterian Church. It is the intention of the Rey. Mr. Jackson, we understand, to establish churches in different parts of the Territory as soon as practicable. Not a Candidate. Judge Symes publishes a card in the Her- ald to-day denying the statement of our Jefferson county correspondent that he is a candidate for Congress, and says he has made no efforts whatever in that direction. —W. C. Child, formerly of Walla Walla, has been appointed Register of the Land Office at Helena, Montana Territory. Mr. C. was at one time agent for Wells, Fargo & Co., at this place, and is very generally known to the people of this section of coun- try.— Walla Walla Statesman. -The Killed by Indiana. On Sunday, two men, named George Owen and Banks, were encamped in the mountains, six or seven miles south of the Crow Agency, when one of them was killed and their horses driven off by the Indians. It appears that Owen went up the creek to look at the traps, and on his return, found his companion lyin dead on the ground, and that all the horses were gone but one. Supposing that one was left as a decoy to entrap him into an ambush, Mr. Owen would not go into camp for the horse, but struck out on foot for the Agency, whence the news was transmitted to Fort Ellis, when Col. Baker immediately instituted measures for the discover;; and punishment of the perpetrators of this fiendish outrage. It is supposed to be the work of the band of Piegans, who have been prowling round the Mission ever since the departure of the Crows on their summer hunt, and with whom the Indian fight took place two or three weeks ago. We hope the military authorities will be successful intrackingthe murderers and in- flicting condign punishment upon them.— Avant^Courier 23<i in A. Personal. —Dr. Benj. Robinson, who has been ab- sent on a European tour for the past year and a half, returned home on Wednesday via the Missouri river. The Doctor has many friends in Helena who will be glad to wel- come him back again after such a prolonged absence. —Among those who left Helena for Ben- ton this morning to take passage on the Nel- lie Peck were Add. II. Sanders and family, and Mrs. W. J. McCormick and family. ----------------------------- Taken a Wife. Among the passengers en route from Co- rinne for Helena we notice our young friend J. P. Woolman and wife. So it seems that Joseph has really “ gone and done it," and taken unto himself a Jersey girl. Well, good luck to you, Jo., and may you be happy and contented all the days of your life. You have properly illustrated the old biblical say- ing» “ Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing,” and may peace rest and abide with you evermore, is our sincere wish. Cmllatln County Item«. From the Courier of the 23d inst. we ex- tract the following items : Maj. F. D. Pease, Agent for the Crow In- dians, arrived from the East on Saturday, ac- companied by the wife and son of Major Bowen. Major Bowen went to meet them at Virginia, and accompanied them from that place to Bozeman. From all parts we hear of an immense im- migration bound Montanaward. It appears that the people are at last realizing the de- sirability of our Territory as a place for a local habitation and a home.” Our genial young friend, Harry Williams, who has been spending the winter with his friends in the Empire State, has returned to Bozeman. Glad to see you, Harry. The Rev. D. Justin, of Grand Rapids, Mich., who was instrumental in forming a large Swedish colony on the line of the G. R, and Indiana R. R., has been appointed one of the Emigration agents of the N. P. R. R. for Montana. Ed. Gardner, just in from the Mammoth Springs, looks hearty, and says there is noth- ing like them to restore vigor and elasticity to the human frame. He came in with Harry Horr, and proposes returning with that gent. On Saturday last about thirty lodges'of aboriginal “ Dolly Vardens” made camp on Bozeman creek, just above town, and ex- hibited their variegated plumage round the city till Monday, when they “ Folded their tents like the Arabs, And as silently stole away.” Mr. W. W. Alderson, one of the oldest residents of Bozeman, and one of its most enterprising citizens, left on Thursday on a visit to the States. Mr. Alderson has been delegated to represent this Territory in the R. W. Grand Lodge of Good Templars, which holds its session at Madison, Wis. next week. He will be absent about six weeks. Quite an excitement was created in town on Sunday by the dashing through Main street of a splendid cavalcade from the Fort. After passing through town they deployed on the plain west of Bozeman, and after exe- cuting various manoeuvres returned to Fort Ellis. They are a flue body of men and magnificently mounted. Crops are looking finely down the valley, the late rains having conduced very materially to their advancement, and farmers are jubi- lant in anticipation of a bounteous harvest. Grass is abundant and cattle are fast recu- perating from tiie effects of winter. From the Daily Herald of Mav 2.^ . Personal. _Col. W. S. beribner, of Missoula, ar- aival on the coach last night and will remain in the metropolis for a week or more. —Addison Smith, one of the proprietors of the Independent, came over from I)eer Lodge last night. He will remain with us for sev- eral days. _O. B. O’Bannou, Esq., came over from Deer Lodge last night. “ O. B.” has been delegatal to act as Chairman of the Repub- lican Territorial Central Committee, now in session hero. . --------- ----------- Jefferson County Court. Judge Chumasero, Hon. E W. Toole, Jno. H. Shober, and 8ample Orr, prominent members of the legal fraternity of this city returned home from Radersburg last night. These gentlemen have been in attendance upon the District Court which is in session at that place. All of the indictments found by the Grand Jury, (about 85,) we learn, were quashed, and a new jury summoned to appear yesterday. The petit jury was dis- charged until Monday next. All the impor- tant cases on the docket have been disposed of, but Court will probably not adjourn be- fore Wednesday or Thursday next. West Side Items. Missoula county, it is said, will produce more grain this season by half than it ever did before. The water in all the streams west of the range is very high. The bridge over the Lit- tle Blackfoot, between Blackfoot city and Mead’s station, on the Deer Lodge road, has floated off, but there is no difficulty in cross- ing at the ford near Milk Ranch. A case of small pox was reported at Yam Hill in Deer Lodge county last Thursday. We have been unable to learn the name of the unfortunate man, but understand that he came recently from the States. There are more men employed in the mines at Pioneer City and Yam Hill this season than have been for the past four years, and the prospects for a handsome yield of gold there is very flattering. Blackfoot City is favored with an abun- dance of water, and claims that have not been worked since ’68 will give profitable employ- ment to a number of men this season. The mines at Carpenter's Bar are panning out freely. WK NT11,1.

WE CONTINUE selling our GOODS at OLD PRICES, notwithstanding the great advance in Eastern markets. A Wholesome Stimulant That is Abso- lutely Pure. Physicians throughout the world agree as to the necessity for diffusive stimulants in medical practice, hut complain, and with good reason, of the impossi- bility of obtaining them pure. The difficulty here pre- sented would be a serious one, indeed, if the class of agents was limited to the adulterated liquors and wines of trade. It vanishes, however, when the absolute purity and extraordinary restorative properties of Uos- tetter’s Bitters are taken into consideration. As a stimulant the article is absolutely free from everything objectionable ; but this is only one of its recommenda- tions. If it were nothing more than an excitant its effects would be fleeting. It might refresh and revive the system for a few minutes, hut could produce no permanent benefit The stimulating elements of the Bitters is a means, not an end. The tonic, anti-bilious, depnrative and aperient vegetable juices combined in the preparation are the agents that impart vigor and regularity to the weakened and disordered organiza- tion, the spirltnoas principle being chiefly useful in diffusing their influence through the system and other- wise facilitating their operation. Alcohol, even in its purest form, is not so much a medicine ne a motive power, by which the specifics of the vegetable kingdom may be brought to bear upon the debilitated and dis- ordered organs that require renovating and regulating ; and it is in this way that the pure essence of rye incor- porated in Uostetter’s Bitters increases the efficiency of the purely medical increments. A Specific for Small.Pox. The Chicago Journal of Commerce gives the following specific remedy for small-pox : Apiece of nitre, the size of a common white bean, crushed and taken in a teaspoonful of cold water, and two or three times repeated, if taken early, in the first stages of the di sease, will effect a speedy cure. Although we feel no alarm regarding the disease in our city, there can be no ltarm in knowing of an effective remedy in case an emergency should arise. ----------- Nettling Up. Wc understand that the country on the Flathead river, above the lake, is being rap- idly settled up, and that that section of the country, on account of its extensive agricul- tural and grazing resources and the salubrity of its climate, is one of the most desirable in the mountains.

From the Daily Herald of May 83.T he B a i i i for the R ecent Reported

In d ian H a n a ere .It appear* there was some basis for the re­

cent report of the killing by Indians of Spe­cial Agent Simmons and party. A gentleman from BenUm informs us that, at Grand Bute, about midway between the Mubcleshell and Fort Peck, the Mackinaw containing Sim­mons and party was hailed by Sioux from the river bank and the men requested to land and have a medicine talk. The Agent signified that time was too pressing to comply with their wishes; whereupon the gentle red children commanded the party to stop and talk or take the contents of sundry fire arms loaded and in hand. The boat kept on its way, and sure enough, the Indians, as good as their word, opened fire, sending a shower of bullets whistling in unpleasant proximity to the navigators of the speeding craft. In turn several members o f the party toned loose their Henry rifles, scattering the child­like, untutored savages in short order, who betook themselves without halting well out of harm’s way. Agent Simmons reached Fort Peck in safety, remained at that post eight days, bountifully rationed the “Government wards,” ander his charge at that place, and returned to Fort Benton on the Nellie Peck. The Agent, we understand, retuns down the river by the same steamer, to his post o f duty 00 Sunday next.

Fenmal.—CbL Viall, Indian Superintendent, is ex­

pected to reach Helena Saturday morning.—Geo. Higgins, who has been confined to

his house by sickness for several weeks past, was able to be ont again this morning.

—Alexander Kemp, who met with a pain- fuLaaeident lost week, while ont in the moun­tains, is able to hobble about on crotches.

—Hon. H. L. Hosmcr, o f Virginia City, arrived In town last evening, on Jiis way to California to present to the interests of that SKatfe'SOme facts pertaining to the great ré­sonnes of Montana, and the relation of that Territory with the Pacific Coast. Judge Haaret» thoroughly understands the situation, uwLis able to show, by correct statistics, fhe importance of connecting Montana and Cal­ifornia by a lateral line of railway such as has been projected already between the Cen­tral and Northern Pacific roods. We arc glad to see one so well Informed take this subject in hand for mach good will follow his showing of the necessities of the coun­try.—Corinne Reporter, 1744.

B row ned In the H e llfa le .A sad occurrence, resulting in the death by

drowning of a man named Louis Caro, trans­pired last Saturday at McWhirk’s ferry, on the Hellgate. A correspondent writing from Missoula under date of the 20th inst., to the Gazette, gives the following account in refer­ence to the accident : “ Lite nt night, say 10 o’clock, one of the men running McWhirk’s ferry on the Hellgate river, heard some one calling from the other side of the stream, and thinking the call proceeded from a couple of men on foot whom he had crossed in the ear­lier part of the day, decided upon venturing over. Arriving at the other side, however, he found two men from Sievensville—Mr. Wins- letta, a store-keeper in that place, and Louis Caro, well known as a trader in Cedar Creek —and with them a wagon loaded with floor. The hoatman then strongly objected to ferry­ing the party, both on account of a want of light, and also the absence of bis companion. Caro, nevertheless, was veiy urgent in his desire to be taken over, stating that he under­stood boating, etc., and that lie would act as one of the crew. Thereupon a pair of horses with the wagon was driven on to the boat, and Caro, being desired to let the after line pay out, she was started out into the carrent. Through some misunderstanding or excitement on Caro's part, he held to the rope so as to cause the boat to stand fairly across a very swift current. The immediate result was, of courx, the dipping and filling of the boat, and eventually the bursting out of one of the «des, setting her adrift in the river. Mean­while Caro, on seeing how mattere stood, leaped towards shore, which was but a few yards off, and Wislette immediately followed, the team taking the wagon into the middle of the river about the same time, the ferryman sticking to the boat The result was that Winslette got on shore, Louis Caro was drowned—his body not yet having been re­covered—and the ferryman made land about half a mile below.”

T he Sliver M ines on T en Mile.Mr. J. F. Wilson who has been np among

the rich silver mines on Ten Mile returned last evening, and from him we learn the fol­lowing items: At the mouth of Beaver creek, McMillen & Co., who have been working the entire winter, have six splendid leads. They started a tunnel early in the winter to tap the Champion mine, (which showed a six foot vein of fine ore in the discovery shaft) at a depth of 100 feet. In running the tunnel" they cut through three new leads that look very promising. The tunnel is now in 170 feet, with indications of the Champion close at hand. A forty foot drift in the Michigama lode exposes a clear vein of ore eight feet wide assaying 450 ounces o f silver per ton. The others have been sunk on sufficient to test their

A H n u w a f Accident.Last evening, jilst before sundown, an ac­

cident occurred which resulted in the break­ing of a man’s leg, and the dislocation of his left shoulder. It appears, from what we can learn, that Felix Ingram, in company w ith another young man, whose name we did not ascertain, were out taking a drive, or rather had started for n drive to the Hot Springs. After they had readied the top of the little hill on Clore street, it seems that Ingram, who was driving, used the whip a little more freely than the horses were disposed to submit to quietly, and the animals, (whether frightened or not we cannot say) commenced running at the top of their speed. They became entirely unmanageable, and when opposite the Reduc­tion Works they took a sudden turn to the right, upsetting the vehicle, and as above stated, resulting in a broken leg and a dis­located shoulder for young Ingram. The buggy, we understand, was also badly “stove up,” but the young man in company with the injured party, fortunately escaped unhurt. Mr. Allen, the Ice King, who was passing about that time, assisted Ingram in his car­riage and conveyed him to the city, where he received proper surgical aid, and is now do­ing as well as could be expected under the circumstances.

We notice by the Walla Walla Union that our young friend and former townsman, T. J. Anders, Esq., is a candidate on the Re­publican ticket foi Prosecuting Attorney of the First District of Washington Territory. Mr. Anders is a young man of fine abilities, a staunch Republican, and we shall rejoice to announce his success at the forthcoming élection. Anders was one of the most de­servedly popular men in this county ; and this was illustrated in one of our elections when a candidate for Probate Judge he came within 14 rot«» of beating his opponent, while the balance of the ticket ran 200 behind.

may well feel satisfied with the result of their hard winter's work. The boys say all they want now to make them happy is a smelter in heir vicinity, with a man at the wheel who un­derstands his business, and they can furnish the necessary food to make it a success. Still further up the creek there are many leads under way of development, and the majority of them will compare with the best found in the Territory.

The creek has now reached the high water mark of last year, with an abundante of snow on the range to furnish a good supply of water the entire season.

At Clarkson, the several placer mining com­panies are busy at work, with better results than ever before,

B ro a d w a y .Mr. Chas. Cannon, and other property hold­

ers on Broadway, have had a survey made of that thoroughfare from Main street to the top of the hill—east side of Ewing street—with a view of grading the hill to a uniform slope, thereby avoiding its steepness and improving its appearance. We saw a diagram of the proposed work in the office of W. W. John­son, the engineer, which shows the amount of cutting at each 50 feet of the distance, which is 850 feet ; and are informal that the top can be reached with a grade of one foot in nine and a half. The proposal improve­ment will be a great benefit to the property on the line of the street, and will enhance its value far more than its cost.

K illed by Ind iana.On Sunday, two men, named George Owen

and Banks, were encamped in the mountains, six or seven miles south of the Crow Agency, when one of them was killed and their horses driven off by the Indians. It appears that Owen went up the creek to look at the traps, and on his return, found his companion lyin dead on the ground, and that all the horses were gone but one. Supposing that one was left as a decoy to entrap him into an ambush, Mr. Owen would not go into camp for the horse, but struck out on foot for the Agency, whence the news was transmitted to Fort Ellis, when Col. Baker immediately instituted measures for the discover;; and punishment of the perpetrators of this fiendish outrage. It is supposed to be the work of the band of Piegans, who have been prowling round the Mission ever since the departure of the Crows on their summer hunt, and with whom the Indian fight took place two or three weeks ago. We hope the military authorities will be successful intrackingthe murderers and in­flicting condign punishment upon them.— Avant Courier 23<i in A.

Well, good luck to you, Jo., and may you be happy and contented all the days of your life. You have properly illustrated the old biblical say­ing» “ Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing,” and may peace rest and abide with you evermore, is our sincere wish.

C m llatln County Item«.

From the Courier of the 23d inst. we ex­tract the following items :

Maj. F. D. Pease, Agent for the Crow In­dians, arrived from the East on Saturday, ac­companied by the wife and son of Major Bowen. Major Bowen went to meet them at Virginia, and accompanied them from that place to Bozeman.

From all parts we hear of an immense im­migration bound Montanaward. It appears that the people are at last realizing the de­sirability of our Territory as a place for a

local habitation and a home.”Our genial young friend, Harry Williams,

who has been spending the winter with his friends in the Empire State, has returned to Bozeman. Glad to see you, Harry.

The Rev. D. Justin, of Grand Rapids, Mich., who was instrumental in forming a large Swedish colony on the line of the G. R, and Indiana R. R., has been appointed one of the Emigration agents of the N. P. R. R. for Montana.

Ed. Gardner, just in from the Mammoth Springs, looks hearty, and says there is noth­ing like them to restore vigor and elasticity to the human frame. He came in with Harry Horr, and proposes returning with that gent.

On Saturday last about thirty lodges'of aboriginal “ Dolly Vardens” made camp on Bozeman creek, just above town, and ex­hibited their variegated plumage round the city till Monday, when they

“ Folded their tents like the Arabs,And as silently stole away.”

Mr. W. W. Alderson, one of the oldest residents of Bozeman, and one of its most enterprising citizens, left on Thursday on a visit to the States. Mr. Alderson has been delegated to represent this Territory in the R. W. Grand Lodge of Good Templars, which holds its session at Madison, Wis. next week. He will be absent about six weeks.

Quite an excitement was created in town on Sunday by the dashing through Main street of a splendid cavalcade from the Fort. After passing through town they deployed on the plain west of Bozeman, and after exe­cuting various manoeuvres returned to Fort Ellis. They are a flue body of men and magnificently mounted.

Crops are looking finely down the valley, the late rains having conduced very materially to their advancement, and farmers are jubi­lant in anticipation of a bounteous harvest. Grass is abundant and cattle are fast recu­perating from tiie effects of winter.

From the Daily Herald of Mav 2.^. P erson a l._Col. W. S. beribner, of Missoula, ar-

aival on the coach last night and will remain in the metropolis for a week or more.

—Addison Smith, one of the proprietors of the Independent, came over from I)eer Lodge last night. He will remain with us for sev­eral days.

_O. B. O’Bannou, Esq., came over fromDeer Lodge last night. “ O. B .” has been delegatal to act as Chairman of the Repub­lican Territorial Central Committee, now in session hero.

.---------— -----------Jefferson County Court.

Judge Chumasero, Hon. E W. Toole, Jno. H. Shober, and 8ample Orr, prominent members of the legal fraternity of this city returned home from Radersburg last night. These gentlemen have been in attendance upon the District Court which is in session at that place. All of the indictments found by the Grand Jury, (about 85,) we learn, were quashed, and a new jury summoned to appear yesterday. The petit jury was dis­charged until Monday next. All the impor­tant cases on the docket have been disposed of, but Court will probably not adjourn be­fore Wednesday or Thursday next.

W est Side Item s.Missoula county, it is said, will produce

more grain this season by half than it ever did before.

The water in all the streams west of the range is very high. The bridge over the Lit­tle Blackfoot, between Blackfoot city and Mead’s station, on the Deer Lodge road, has floated off, but there is no difficulty in cross­ing at the ford near Milk Ranch.

A case of small pox was reported at Yam Hill in Deer Lodge county last Thursday. We have been unable to learn the name of the unfortunate man, but understand that he came recently from the States.

There are more men employed in the mines at Pioneer City and Yam Hill this season than have been for the past four years, and the prospects for a handsome yield of gold there is very flattering.

Blackfoot City is favored with an abun­dance of water, and claims that have not been worked since ’68 will give profitable employ­ment to a number of men this season.

The mines at Carpenter's Bar are panning out freely.

Physicians throughout the world agree as to the

necessity for diffusive stimulants in medical practice,

hut complain, and with good reason, of the impossi­

bility of obtaining them pure. The difficulty here pre­

sented would be a serious one, indeed, if the class of

agents was limited to the adulterated liquors and wines

of trade. I t vanishes, however, when the absolute

purity and extraordinary restorative properties of Uos-

tetter’s Bitters are taken into consideration. As a

stimulant the article is absolutely free from everything

objectionable ; but this is only one of its recommenda­

tions. If it were nothing more than an excitant its

effects would be fleeting. I t might refresh and revive

the system for a few minutes, hut could produce no

permanent benefit The stimulating elements of the

Bitters is a means, not an end. The tonic, anti-bilious,

depnrative and aperient vegetable juices combined in

the preparation are the agents that impart vigor and

regularity to the weakened and disordered organiza­

tion, the spirltnoas principle being chiefly useful in

diffusing their influence through the system and other­

wise facilitating their operation. Alcohol, even in its

purest form, is not so much a medicine ne a motive

power, by which the specifics of the vegetable kingdom

may be brought to bear upon the debilitated and dis­ordered organs that require renovating and regulating ;

and it is in this way that the pure essence of rye incor­

porated in Uostetter’s Bitters increases the efficiency

of the purely medical increments.

A Specific for S m a ll.P o x .The Chicago Journal o f Commerce gives

the following specific remedy for small-pox : A piece of nitre, the size of a common white bean, crushed and taken in a teaspoonful of cold water, and two or three times repeated, if taken early, in the first stages of the di sease, will effect a speedy cure.

Although we feel no alarm regarding the disease in our city, there can be no ltarm in knowing of an effective remedy in case an emergency should arise.

No matter how badly a car­riage be smashed np, McLean will soon turn it out as good as new. Just now the establishment is turning out a lot of single and bob sleds, which for durability, far exceed those made in the States. A new break (an invention by McLean) is attached to the runner, by which means the sliding from one side of the road to the other is entirely obviated. It is n good thing, and no mistake.
