The burning of Helena is laid to the Chi- namen. The conflagration commenced in the section of the town occupied by them. These Celestials., at best, are a poor excuse in our city, and as there is a plentiful sprinkle of them in our midst, it behooves the eitizens of Virginia City to have a care- ful eye on the China quarters of the town, and examine their places of habitation, to see if they are secure. else our city may re- peat the disaster that has so terribly befal- len our sister city of Helena. Go!ii,.; to 04serve the sahhath. Some ot our business hou.ses have agreed to shut up on the Sabbath, and after Sun- day the llth, will cease to trade and traffic on the Lord's day. This is a move in the direction of Christian reformation, we are pleased to note. The agitation of the Sun- day law question is bringing about a feel- ing that our observanee of Sunday la essen- tial to the comfort and well being of citi- zens generally. Laying aside the religious view of the question, it must be conceded that people of all avocations need one day of rest and quiet during the week. If we adhere to or recognize the beautiful teach- ings of Jesus Christ. we nmst indorse and carry out the enjoined conunands of the good book. It may be slow in our people to come to it. but when once adopted it will be a source of gratification to see the Sabbath duty honored and revered. llarris & Lyons have purchased the stock , ea .1. Shiller, an4I removed into the building I oreupiell by Shiller, where they will be pleased to wait upon ansl dress up the male portion of mankind in a complete and sat- isfactory manner, and at prices to suit the financial condition of the times. Go and 2.4 - e them. and if you don't find this all the • truth, we have told one. which the same does not occur except through mistake. The nominations of J. Roberston for Director and I. N. Buck to be Warden of the Penitentiary, was confirmed by the Council. They are both gentlemen compe- tent to perform the dttties of their positions. Whether Gov. Potts accompanied their nomination with an assurance that hereaf- ter eggs of neither a fresh or addled quality would he permitted in the Penitentiary, is not made public. The Socialite at Morris' Residence. The St. Paul's Church Sociable, held at the residence of W. W. Morris, last even- ing. was partieipated in and enjoyed by an unusually large number of people and was decidedly a pleasant affair. Many members of the Legislature called anti partook of I the pleasantries enaeted io the way of chit- radea and other tricks of fun. We are told by those who were there that it beat all former experiences of similar affairs enjoy- ed by them, and that it was a real reunion of social enjoyment. The Juvenile Dancing Party. The juveniles danced at Templar's Hall, last night. en masse. They were a happy crowd of youngsters and flung themselves ;wound much after the fashion of older peo- ple, except that t hey seemed to be more sus- ceptible of unrestrained enjoyment. Sev- eral members of the Senate were lookers-on refresh their memories of boyhood's happier days. 14) E MADISONIAN Arrival and Departure of Mails at Virginia City Postoffice. vision Pacitiv----4 oriane and 4 - .P.11.

Notice is hereby given that the follow- ing Dry Goods and Clothing Merchants of Virginia City will close their stores after the llth, on Sundays:—Armstrong & John- NAL E. .1. Walter, A. J. Rosenstein, !Lir- t ris A: Lyons, Strasburger & Co., Mrs. A. \'anforsi H. Warmington. S. Rosenstein. PERSONALS. Collected from the Daily Edition. Rich. of Rich. Wilson & Bogert, is over from Bozeman. on business. James Murphy and William Mellon, of the west side, are in in the city, where they are at home for they were formerly resi- dents of old Alder. Noah Armstrong, Esq., of Bryant Mining District., is stopping at the Clasbey. Mr. Armstrong reports things favorable in that district. He tells us that the assertion of a Bannock correspondent of the Helena Her- ald that he was running his limo so as to gobble up the claims of other parties, on Sulphide Mountain, is a mistake. He has done nothing of the kind. Colonel Alexander Hamilton Beattie, of Helena, is on hand. The Col. is one of the few Republicans who managed to miss Dem oeratic grape -shot at the last election. Just what wing of the opposition he adheres to we are not posted in -but he is an intelli- gent representative of his section. The Honorable Wilbur Fisk Sanders— on attorney at law, a member of the lower house of Montana's Parliament, side editor of the Helena Herald, herder ot the Repub- lican party of the Territory, muchly-de- feated candidate tor Delegate to Congress, aspirant for the gubernatorial chair of Mon- tana -and-and -an admirer of Governor Benjamin Franklin Potts ---landed in the city on last Sabbath evening. As this man Sanders is the proprietor of the wickedest tongue on the Continent, we do not hanker after giving him a more extended personal. The \ War Horst ,\ is expected to keep an open eye on the affairs of the people, and it is quietly hinted around that he will con- tinue to run the interests of the Governor until the Governor's present term expires. Hon. Wash. Stapleton, Councilman from Beaverhead County, arrived late on Satur- day, after our - weekly had gone to press. Wash. Stapleton's record is without blemish and he is so throrough a representative of the people at large, as to make his name familiar to the people of the entire Territo- ry. We have known Wash. for many years and his Democracy has always been of that steadast and unswerving quality we like to continent!. As President of the Extra Ses- sion he won for himself merited praise, for his impartial and able presiding over the Council. Mrs. Stapleton accompanied her husband antl her presence will be quite an addiVon to the social society of the city. Judge Mead,Representative from Beaver- head, honored us with a call. Judge Mead is one of those sound ohl Democrats we like to take by the hand. The Judge received his political education in that part of the country that gave us a William L. Marcy, and his politics is as sound as a genuine new silver dollar. The people of Beaverhead lmve a careful and able advocate in Judge Mead. • Hon. Joe Brown, the Washington County (Pa.) member of the !louse, alighted at the Crescent, on Sunday. He did not bring Brown's bridge with him, but he brought Peter Gallagher. They had a heap of bad luck coming over, breaking down sev eral times, but came in on time. Everybody in t I is section of Montana knows Joe Brown. for he has been a legislator heretofore, and Beaverhead has an efficient representative in him. S. R. Shankling. Esq., of the Crow Agency , called on us. Mr. S. was formerly Assis- tant Clerk and Enrolling- Clerk of the House, filling both positions efficiently. Hon. Sam. Mallory, of Sheridan, gave us a grip of his hand. on the floor of the House. Mr. M. is a Republican -but that's the only bad thing we know about him. Hon. Alex. Carmichael, of Silver Star. come into our office looking fresh and fully prepared to enter upon his duties in the House. Alex. is one of the unexceptiona- ble kind, save he is a Republican, which is the only weak point we know about him. Capt. A. Dusold, of Helena, is among us. The Capt's politics are Republie,an. But that does not hinder his being a whole-soulded man. Ile is one of Lewis and Clarke's rep- resentatives in the House. Hon. W. A. Chessman, a Republican mem- ber from Lewis and Clark. stays at the Clasbey, and will make himself an active worker for his locality. Hoo. A krneux, of Choteau County. puts up at the Clasbey. Mr. Arneux is one of the solid men of Choteau, and will repre- sent his constituency in creditable and satis- factory shape. Hon. Sample Orr, of Helena. is at the Crescent. Ile formerly represented the Meagher District in the Legislature, and some years ago he gave Claib Jackson a close call for the Governorship ot old Mis- souri. Hon. F. G. Heldt, of Helena, a Republi- can member of the House, takes his grub at the Clasbey. Ile formally resided in this city, and is a man of over -average judg- ment. II. C. Graves, of Centerville, Meagher Comity, came within our editorial sanctum yesterday. He is in route to pav his broth- er F. C. Graves at Bannaek. a visit. Mr. Graves was formerly, a Clerk in the Legis- lature, but the outlook for serving the peo- ple not looking flattering. he postponed bothering with office -seeking until some more opportune time. Charley McIntosh, of Bannathk City, was in town a day or two, and left yesterday for home, taking with him two passengers. . W. Dixon, Esq., of Deer Lodge, is hi the city. attending the term of the Supreme Court. Loekey, the Helena Steam Cracker Man, is in town to find out why Governor Potts didn't mention his doings in the message. Peter Gallagher, of Big Hole, is going to leave us for awhile. He intends visiting his parents, who reside at Donegal, Ireland: Peter is a mighty good mar., and he shows it by paying his:aged parents a visit. Hon. O. E. Walker, of the Council from Lewis and Clarke, is to be found at the Clasbey. Ile collies from a good section of the Territory, and is a good man, being a Democrat of strong tendencies -and he's all the bettter for that. Hon. Curt Harrington, of Meagher, mem- ber of the House, made himself acquainted with the MatilsomAN office. He is one of the chosen and displays Democratic colors the while. Hon. G, W. McCauley, a Democrat of the Jeffersonian order from Jefferson County, was with us a few moments. He obtains filling at the International, and swill be in his seat in the House at all times. Hon. C. M. Tate, the member from Gal- latin. of the House, is serving a secona term. which shows, conclusively, that his folks at home have confidence in him -and so have we. We held his hand in a frendly manner ecently. Hon. I. W. Mato ell. of Lewis and Clark, is a man of the other kind of polities, being a stout Republican. He receives food at the Clasbey, Dr. Stafford, of Sterling% interviewed us some, yesterday. The Dr. marches in the Democratic delegation for Madison and is one of the best Representives in the House for the people. Further comment is un necessary. Chief Justice Wade, 0. G. Sy Ines, and W. F. Chadwick, of Helena. arrived on last evening's coach. They are in to help run the Supreme court. Jim Hornbuckle, of Henderson Gulch, is stopping at time Crescent. Jim, looks as fresh as he did when we new him long years ago. John P. Barnes, of Clancy, is at the Crescent. Baron C. C. O'Keefe, member of Par- liament from Missoula, has arrived. The organization of the House will now take place. The Baron looks vigorous, and will be on hand promptly. The hearty greeting extended to him indLated his popularity with everybody. Mr. Owen Gaffney, of Gaffney, is in the city, and reports everything in his sec- tion moving along as usual, and the weath- er fine, and no snow. Mr. A. 0. Fort. is sojourning with :us. We had a word or so with hint, and think from his talk that he intends keeping an eye on the movements of the Council and House. Ile is not an aspiraut for any posi- tion. Harry J. Norton, author of \ Wonder- land,\ and somewhat known in this section, was spilled out of the coach, among his many friends, last evening. He has been East superintending the bringing out of his book, and returns to us flushed with the pride attending successful authorship. We have not seen a copy of --Wonderland,\ but bespeak for it a large sale -for it must be a eadable book and printed in good style. Dave McCranor, ofSheridan, was rustling for a situation in the Legislature. At the close of the count he got one vote -but by whom it was cast, Dave knoweth not. C. S. Ellis and John Wiant, of Silver Star, arrived in town yesterday. Judge Hiram Knowles, of Deer Lodge, has arrived, which makes the Supreme Bench full. Thomas L. \Won, Esq.. of Deer Lodge, arrived in the city yesterday. Ile is one of the best posted lawyers in the Territory, and is in attendance on the Supreme Court. \Wonder -La nd \ Illustrat ed. \Wonder -Land Illttstrated; or Horseback Rides through the Yellowstone National Park.\ A book by Harry J. Norton. A press copy of this expected book has been laid on our table. Our citizens have been looking for its publication for some time, and Bows it is out, and they can grati- fy their desire to obtain it. The book, in mechanical execution, is printed with clear - faced types, on extra good - paper, and is il- lustrated with »many tine eogravings of the sc'enes and country on which it is written. Of the subjects it contains, one has to but peruse the book to be amply repaid. It is not everything bound up in the shape of a book that is passably readable -but \Won- der -Land\ is interesting and entertaining. It is sub -divided into three departments - The Wonders of Wonder -Land; The Route taom the East to the National Park ; A Brief Description of Montana Territory, its Valleys. Rh ers, Cities and Towns. Under these different captions the author makes good food for intellectual feeding. and says msny truths, intermixed with pardonable displays of fanciful tietion, at all times racy and never dull or tedious. It is a neat 12-mo. volume of 132 pages, and is centrally adorn- ed with a complete and well -executed Map of the Geyser Country and sources of the Snake, Yellowstone and Madison rivers. Get a copy. peruse it and you will not regret it, for you will have a pleasurable sensation left that will be lasting in memory. We congratulate Harry on the issuing of his book, and bespeak for it a wide reception, for it is deserving. Meeting of the Stock Men. The meeting of the stock was held in the Council Chamber, on last Saturday afternoon. The report of the committee ap- pointed at the previous meeting was read and accepted. The connnittee recommend the passage by the Legislature of a general \Round Up\ law for the Territory. The committee also advised the appointment of a select committee to frame a law in accord- ance with their report.. The committee ap- pointed consists of J. E. Callaway, Oscar Sedman, L. W. Frary, E. L. Hickman and 0. F. Cope. Other matters of interest to stock -raising men was discussed. Another meeting. for Thursday, January 8, 1874, was appointed. The interest manifested in these meetings shows the stock men are in earn- est in the matter, and will push the passage of a law through, if possible. The Plug Hat Delegation. The Deer Lodge and Jefferson delegations are, perhaps,,as handsome a lot of men as the average. But they are not satisfied with this. After shaking themselves and inflat- ing their lungs with Capital air, they form- ed themselves into a private caucus, and elected that each member should purchase a tmeautiful plug hat. They've carried their resolution into execution -and if you meet a man with a shining plug hat on, he's one of that crowd. They are really beautiful hats -are two -storied, mug - 140(.1y grand liats -are hats! The members of these delegas tions are outstripping the others in the mat- ter of wearing the finest of hats. We're Elected. A note from Bozeman informs us that we litmorary InP111ber of the are elected an Young Men's Christian Association, of the city of Bozeman. We always was tolerably good, but this makes a sure thing of it. We hear the brethren are in successful opera- tion, and that they do hold weekly sociables whereat a proper observance of piety and a of steady manners is witnessed. Besides, this is cheap-costhe mad'''. We like the society for the honor conferred. \General\ Walker - President Stapleton, of the Council. has a happy way, in addressing the members of that body, and has a handle to the mime of each -save one. Ile has overlooked one member in a strange, unaccountable way. We refer to \ General\ J. C, Walker, the \gray -eyed man of destiny,\ from Helena. Fix it, Wash. -and title Cae gentleman from Lewis and Clarke. The Chief of the \Bar Keeps.\ Geo. Todd has secured the services of Monsieur Jessen, of Helena, who has the reputation of being the cleverest mixer of drinks of any \bar keep\ on the headwat- ers of old Muddy. Tod(De 'round that way and get one of them. The Bowling Alley. The roll of the balls at the Bowling Alley can be heard in one continuous rumbling - which is indicative of the boys patronzing the healthy sport of rolling Ten Pins plenty. Good beer is here dealt out to quench the thirst of those engaging in the game. Try some of it, and see if it ain't SO. There was not a single applicant for any of the attaehee places in the Legislature from Beaverhead County -people frume. that section are not after small things, but are pleased with getting away with the higher offices. Meeting of the Stock Men. The called meeting of the Stock men was held yesterday morning, at Secretary Calla - way's office,and was well attended from the different sections of the County and some from neighboring counties. Nelson Storey, Esq., of Bozeman, was elected chairman of the meeting. G. F. Cope was elected Secretary. Col. Callaway made a motion to have the Colorado laws on the subject read. The Secretary of the meeting read ex- tracts from the laws of that Territory, as to stays, brands, and the year!) rounding up of cattle and other stock. One of the provisions of the laws of Col- orado pros - ides for the advertising of all estrayed stock, wandering at large. and at - ter paying the expenses incurred. time bal- ance to be paid into the county treasury of the county in which the stock is taken up. The meeting adjourned after holding a protracted discussion on various modes of getting at the question of having a law en- acted that will protect the interests of al concerned. The passage of a law on the subject will be asked of the Legislature. Church Sociable at Sheridan. The M. E. Sociable, at Sheridan, on New Years' Day, was a grand success. The re- eeipts were $38. It was pronounced a little the nicest sociable ever enjoyed by Sheri- idanians, and those people know the way to get iip sociables, :is well as how to enjoy them. Sympathy for the Defeated. We are desirous of extending to all defeated candidates for positions in the Legislature our condoling sympathy, and hope they'll have better luck next time. So far as we have observed they are all good -and the only thing we regret is that they could not all get \ posishes.\ As an earnest of our sympathy we would say, in a dry -so sort of a way, that we have a wood -pile back of the MADISONIAN office, where they can help us run a buck saw, while cool- ing down. Wages moderate. Don't all come at once. Take it easy, boys, we know how it is ourself but can't help you, under the present circumstances. A Surprise Party. At the residence of James Williams,Ado- betown, on Saturday evening, was a suc- cess. The affair is spoken of by those who happened in, as brilliant, and a surprise all round. Temperance Lecture. Rev. Mr. Cady, delivered a lecture last evening, which WaS well attended, and listened to. Mr. C. handled his subject without gloves, displaying considerable force as a speaker anti showed himself an earnest advocate of the cause of total ab- stinence. At the close of Mr. C.'s lecture, Hon's. H. Jordan, T. E. Collins, and Mr. Lot -1i)% Grand Worthy Ceia of Montana, responded to calls with short, pertinent ad- dresses. Wood -Thieving Invest iga Probate Judge Johnson's court was oc- cupied a part of yesterday the examina- tion of a batch ot Chinamen, charged with stealing wood from the nile at the Interna- tional Hotel. There had been wood stolen from that hotel, but the evidence against the Chinamen was not sufficient to convict them of the theft. Judge Johnson discharg- ed the Chinamen, not deeming the com- plaint sustained sufficiently to warrant the wilding of them up. The Supreme Court. The Supreme Court met yesterday at 10 o'clock. a. in., at the Court room. Present Chief Justice Wade and Judge Servis, a quorum. The regular ealender was ealled and the order of business for the term an- nounced. To -clay reserved decisions will be delivered. l'ILIA3C1b:1;:1116INGI-S - 1F -- THE EIGHTH REGULAR SESSION - ) The Montana Lonislature. • 11.4i - Reported for the DAII MADISONIAN. ii••••46-•••••11 HOUSE.

He goes to the Indianapolis dis- pensatory for medical treatment of rheu- matism ot the nerves, with which he has been afflicted the past summer. Revs. Riggin and Van Orsdell have been holding: a revival during time past week. We are informed that they have been doing considerable and effective work in awaken- ing a religious feeling among the people of Bannack. The \ Exeliange\ is closed for repairs. Fred. Peek, in the ad interim, Will go to manufacturing cain-bottomed arni-chairs,at which business he is quite handy! One of the young fellows of Bannock, on being miffed by his girl. came near penme- n -at Mg self -murder. The drug store being closed, he couldn't get any genuine poison, and had to resort to other stuff. He took six bottles of Jamaica ginger -but at last accounts he was surviving, and his girl was sorry she done so. No names, as the par- ties are respectable and want the matter - hushed up! Gov. Potts, in his message to the Legisla- tive Assembly, omitted to mention the fact that \Lockey's\ Crackers, &c., were supe- rior to imported ones, cost less money, were healthier and better in every respect, and the dear people should economize by pur- chasing them. By doing so it will be un- necessary to cut down the fees of any but justices of the peace, who should be re- quired to work for their health. Enquiries in regard to Crackers, Fees or Health, will receive prompt attention. Se 3 11 1 d ON to TA.NA STEAM CRACKER CO.,. North Main Street s Ilelena, Montana. Club dance next Thursday evening.
