But for its timely discovery we might have had a conflagra- tion, which. possibly, would have cost our citizens irreparable loss. Tim negligence or carelessness of some people often makes ' work for the whole community. It is conceded that five -sixths of the tires that have devastated the cities and towns of the land are the result of too little caution on the part of the people. If all would exer- cise due care in trying to prevent fires they would be less frequent. We would admon- I ish every one to have an open eye on the aah-dumpa and stove -pipes, and thereby prevent the possibility of any disastrous conflagration overtaking and wiping out our city. Ball for the Benefit of the Public School at Adobetou n. A ball will be given at Adobetown, at Foreman's Hall, on Tuesday. February 6. 1.474. The proceeds to be applied for the benefit of Public School, No. 3, of Adobe - town. The ball will be conducted under the management of the School Trustees of that district. The trustees are Fred. Botcher, Richard Hughes and E. L. Whitcomb, and under their superintendence every thing is expected to pass off pleasantly. Refresh- ments and music of the ',est to be obtained is promised. Tickets, '$3, to be had of the managers or at the door. The public are invited to attend. The Night Herd. The members of the night herd were try. ing to corral the town last night. Many of the distinguished members of the herd were slightually on it -which was conclusive ev- idence that a good quality of whisky was being punished plenty. Our reporter no- ticed many of them who seemed to be over- whelmingly impregnated with a desire to be supremely happy and let the whole world known it. The convivality possess- ing the members was to be applauded, for it was not of the bogus order. To say that any were drunk wouid be improper and disrespectfuLand might cause some of tluon the trouble of making apologies and expla- nation of a bothering nature. They were only completely under the \ge»ial\ and exhilarating influence of distilled fluids. Mr. Faro's Levees. Old Mr. Unlimited Faro has been holding evening levees during the past week. His entertainments are eagerly sought after by an excited crowd of persistent admirers. The levees continence, usually, after an early tea-time.and run without intermission or relaxation until the morning dawn tells it is time for hot coffee. Mr. Faro is a very prompt -paying individual, and his patron- izers get their greenbacks, provided they correctly guess the chromatic delineations printed on his cards of chance. Mr. Faro keeps a bank or two. Ile has been in the banking business since he was born -and the date of his birth runneth back beyond the recollection of the oldest codger circu- lating hereabouts. Mr. Faro is, as a gener- al rule, polished in his address, but when a lucky run is made on his till, he does in- dulge in profane utterances quite shocking to piously -inclined nerves. Mr. Faro has been unfortunate within the past week. Men apt at his game, have been pressing the opportunity, and the result is he is an in- jured man, financially. In one night he paid out $2,700 at his two places of amuse - men, to those paying their attentions to his fascinating presence. Ile still has about $10,000 which he is desirous of distributing among his votaries -Ind it is evident that they will keep 1 t.rawing On hi% proller0.citty. The Social Soiree at the Residence of Mr. Strasburger. The social entertainment at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Strasburger was attended by thc elite of the Capital. The large and eishionable crowd included many members of the Legislature, and there was complete satisfaction depicted on the countenances or those participating in the sumptuous banquet spread by mine host and imstess. The reception was genuine in cordiality and all were received with a warmth of hospitality that will linger in memory for a long time to come. We know how it was for we were of the number, and question whether a more enjoyable party ever came off in Virginia City. The New Northwest treated its patrons with a flneiy-printed chromatic Calendar for the year 1874. The Northwest is a good paper and is deserving of the confidence and support of the Republican party. It looks bran new and bright, and is a reada- ble journal. Despite its rude growl at the MADISONIAN we like it, and hope the Cap- tain may be endowed with greater eircum- re live business men. and have made :kr- speetion when he shows his teeth again. We ingements with Wells. Fargo & Co., to ave a stock of goods expressed through om Corinne to Helena. The Express will take pains not to cheat our patrons and hope the Northwest will not \deprive\ its subscribers of an issue in the future.

The Herald ofJan. 12th contains the per- otlars af a citizens meeting, having for its veet the taking into consideration of some easures to more effectually secure that ity against the posaibility of tire fronl the 'hinese quarters. A committee was ap- ointed to draft a bill to submit to the Leg- 1ature preacriSoing a fire limit and to pro- ele for tire wardens, and to prohibit the estion of frame buildings within specified mit-4. The meeting was largely attended d the Helenaites are fully aroused to the eessity of adopting every possible pre- utiou ibr the future against tre. I;overnor Potts is a remarkably unfortu- ate man. His good intentions are con- ntly misunderstood. and he is a mark so sily hit that he catches numy digs. Yes - day the House went into committee on • whole. and had under consideration the tee little red books entitled Cruelty to whicll the Governor had consider- ely presented to them. After the entire intnittee had sat on the volumes a while ey rose off of them and reported the little 11 books back, without indorsing or ac- pting. This is the unkindest cut of all, r now the Governor cannot punish his tonics. Judge Mead informs us that a law will be ered in the Legislature changing the undary lines of Madison anti Beaverhead unties in two places. The line on Black dl Deer Creek will Like some off from adison and put it on Beaverhead so as to \aee the 'smelts:4 of Orr & Poindexter and lbers in the latter county. Joe Browne ys that sa;:me proposed change of lines in e Big Hole section is contemplated. A 'nt resolution asking Congress to change e Territorial lines of Montana and Idaho as to bring a larger scope of country ad- •ent to Pleasant Valley within our Terri- ry will be presented to the Legislature.

Symea, Page, Callaway, Sprott, George, Orr, Nap - ton. Dixon, and Cowan, The ceremonies concluded with a grand -smile\ all round. In extending our sympathy to our fellow - laborers of the Gazette, it is needless to N:y it is entire, tor we know that the burning of the office will fall upon some connected with that establishment with a prostrating force not easy to bear up under. We hope a spi- rit of pluck may abide with them,:and that bright days of prosperity and success may mark a long life of the Gazette. The destruction of the books, papers and records of the Helena Library and Histori- eal Society, is a loss not easily replaced. Through the indefatigable exertions of Col. Sanders and his co-workto s these two soci- eties had collected an invaluable number of books and papers it will be almost impoasi- ble to replace, making it a public loss all will regret. Our appreciative ears were greeted with dulcet strains of well -executed melodies by the String Band, aided by Buzz Caven,who mashes it to a fiddle in a manner nice unto Ole Bull. This was what could he designa- ted a serenade, and the members of the band will accept our best apologies. Most of the legal gentleman of Helena are haevy sufferers by the fire, and have lost their law libraries. They can have this con- solation -in eternity law books are useless, for they are unknown. Law books will burn up -but whether lawyers will, will be determined hereafter. Dave McCranor and T. S. Hamilton, of Sheridan, are in the city. Mr. MeCranor has sold his interest in the tirm of Hamilton & MeCranor to O. M. Sweet, and the style 1 of the firm is now Hamilton & Sweet. We commend the new firm to the people. BANNACK ITEMS. The revival meetings held in Bannock du- ring the week were conducted with great in- terest, and Reva. Riggin and Van Orsdell preached and awakened a religious feeling among the Bannackites, which, it is hopeth will prove beneficial to the denizens of that town. John Carhiirt & Co., on No. 7, Dacota lode, have struck richer quartz than ever and have a large body in sight. Bill Terry is one of the Co. and does the shooting and blowing in a modest way. They will make money, for the quartz is sprinkled with the yellow metal, visible to the unaided eye. A petition is in circulation in and around Bannock, praying the Legislature to pass a law to enable the County Commissioners of Beaverheall to issue bonus bonds for the purpose of aiding in the erection ot Reduc- tion Works at some convenient and access- ible point in that County. It is meeting with considerable favor. We are in rece pt of a belligerent commu- nication from a yaung gent of Bannack, on the subject of the ginger attempt at self-de- struction. Ile says he didn't do so. That his girl did not give him the mitten. That whoever sent us the information told one of biggest kind of lies. That our informant is an entril of the first water. The letter is wrathy in tone, and there must be some mistake in the matter. We are confident that the young man did not take the six bot- tles of Jamaica ginger, and that his girl still loves him plenty. The Sermons of Last Sunday. The Rev. Father Kelleher; of the Catho- lic Church,delivered a discourse founded 011 the Gospel of St. Luke. \And entering the house they found the child with Mary his mother, and fell down and adored him; and opened their treasures, they offered him gold and frankincense.\ Father Kelleher showed this was the Gentiles celebration of Christ's advent, and from thence began the downfall of the Hebrew race. In continua- tion he compared the wisdom of the past with the:so-called wisdom of modern days. As the maji saw God in a babe in a woman's arms, whereas the scoffers of our day can- not see God in Christ, the raiser of the dead and crucified Savior on the cross. The dis- course was attentively listened to by a large congregation and the subject was handled in a thorough manner. Rev. Mr. Prout delivered a sermon on the efficacy of prayer. Almighty God, who host given us grace with one accord to make our common supplications.\ * \Strength- en us that we may be enabled to offer peti- tions to Thy throne, and through prayer en- joy life everlasting in the world to come.\ The sermon was pointedly preached, and showed a thoughtful consideration of the matter by the Rev. gentleman, and -that the efficaciousness of prayer must be admitted by all who acknowledged the beautiful and consoling teachings of Jesus Christ. The sermon was one well worth listening to and full of happy expressions. Rev. F. Asbury Riggin, of the Methodist Church, preached at Templar's Hall. His sermon was predicated on the 53e1 chapter of Isaiah. \For he skill grow up before hint as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground- he hath no form or comeliness; and when we shall see him there is no beauty that we should desire him.\ The Rev. gen- tleman delivered a fine and feeling sermon, and was listened to by a large congregation with satisfaction, for he preached a sermon well calculated to instruct anti lead all his hearers. The sermon well repaid those at- tending. if th e crergymen of the city would hand us their texts upon which they propose to preach on Sabbaths, we will be pleased to publish the Maine, as it will he of interest to church -going people. _ 4 , 'se Ills Extreme Excellency Governor Ben- jamin Franklin Potts is a man of tremend- ous understanding, and if he lacks any - thing in mental fixings he makes up in other res- pects amply. His Excellency scared the skillets of delight out of our little carrier boy yesterday morning, on his delivering a copy of the daily. Ilis Excellency pro- ceeded to adminster blows with his bro- gams on the paper. The carrier boy had presence of mind enough left to remove the paper -otherwise His Excellency would have hulled himself and Montana would be now in mourning for a Governor. This is the requital we get for defending Benjamin from the assaults of his enemies. We feel it, but will survive the unkindness, for the paper was a gratuity to I lis Excellency. Newcomer got off a good one in the Coun- cil on Tuesday. On the Motion to appoint a clerk to the committee on Ways and Means, he suggested the propriety of let- ting the job out to lowest bidder !\ It was pointed at the recommendations of rigid economy floating in the atmosphere of that chamber, and struck economy a clever lick. The above item in our Wednesday's issue, while it was not intended, is susceptible of a double meaning -some of the members of the Council construing it as a direct hit at them on account of their advocacy of strict economy in the expenses of the present Legislature, and that we are opposed to re- trenchment. Such was not the intention - It came in as a witticism while discussing a pending question, and no personal reflec- tion on any member or policy was meant. The MADISONIAN will be found arrayed on the side of economy in the affairs of the people. In this connection we would in- vite the members to examine the cost of printing heretofore to the Territory, and compare the contract prices of tne pteasot therewith, when they will discover that the establishment of the 3.1amsosstas saves the public treasury many a dollar. A profusion of aspirants for Congressional honors are seen quite plainly, on the slight- est provocation. They are a legion in num- ber. The other day, in a big crowd in one of the saloons, a gentleman stepped forward with -\All candidates for Delegate to Con- gress are invited to drink !\ Seventeen men rubbed their stomachs against the bar - counter and left sugar in the bottom of their glasses. W ode, now h•s and Sanders edged up to drink, looking askance at each other, which would seem to indicate that they are not sure as to who will accept the empty honor for slaughter next summer. The largest attendance of the season was out at the Club Hop, at Templar's Hall. last evening. Both Houses of Parliament were heavily represented. The folks front Adobetown and Junction, and other places were there enjoying the dancing. The la- dies never appeared fixed up in finer style. Every one looked the picture of enjoyment. Buzz Coven's rectified fiddling was what they bopped after. • 11111.•.....olle Capt. H. N. Blake now tm a visit to his home in Massachusetts. has become an agent of the American Tract Society. and is earnestly engaged in distributing. through the mail, the works of that So- ciety. We congratulate the gallant Capt in his change of heart, and hope he may prove a valuable acquisition to our labor- ers in the Virginia vineyard. Boots and Shoes at MANIIAM VINTEWS• A New Paper for Helena. We are by no means displeased to leant that a new paper is, at no distant day, to be started in Helena by Messrs. E. S. Wilkin- son & Sons. The paper is, of course, to be a straight-out Democratic sheet, else our old competitor would not -figure at the helm. Mr. E. S. Wilkinson founded and for years was chief editor of the Gazette, and is not only well known, but has many warm per- sonal and party irh•nds, both in Montana and Missouri, who have given him substan- tial encouragement to start his paper. Ar- rangements had some time since been made for material to be delivered here ready for starting the paper in May next, but owing to the complete destruction of time Gazette office in the fire, and the supposition that it will not again resurrect, we understand that the material will be forwarded and the paper started at an earlier date than that mentioned. Although we have had many hard-fought battles with the Judge in years past, yet these have never inter- fered with our personal intercourse, and we shall welcome him back to the fratern- ity with no small degree ot pleasure. We clip the above item from the Helena Daily Herald of the 14th. Messrs. E. S. Wilkinson & Sons are among the oldest newspaper men in Montana. and while we deplore the loss of the Gazette and sympa- thize with its owners m their misfortune, we are pleased to know that its loss is to be replaeed by a straight-out Democratic journal under the conduct of the old and experienced journalists who announce that they will engage in the enterprise. And we wish them abundant success. Faro Bulletin. The bulletins of losses at this exciting game are filled up into the thousands, and the banks are being depleted, and are stag- gering under heavy runs of successful buck- ing. One went to peicea. Three are yet delighting their patrons and have plenty in sight for awhile. Whether the bankers will close, to catch their wind, is not known hut it is rumored they are about weakening and will withdraw, on account of the hot- ness of the playing. Several large -sized \snaps\ have been born and died. The indications would seem to point to the con- clusion that this is not an opportune time to deal faro. The old man seems to take his shaking up with an outward nonchalant in- difference -but he is hurted. -- s a ss \ Permanent Filling Up of Cie City. Within the past three months there has been a constant increase to the population of our city, and the filling up of all the va- cant buildings with permanent residents is proof that we are gaining in numbers. making this statement, we take into consideration the temporary addition caus- ed by the Legislature being in session. Our city, despite the apparent depression in the Territory, is in a prosperous condition and will have a brighter prospect in the future. The other day Governor B. Franklin Potts made the members of both Houses a present of the New York laws on punish- ing people for Cruelty to Animals. The members are nonplussed to know what the Governor wants. The Governor is desirous of having the New York enactments hitch- ed on to the stump -tailed code of Montana, thereby giving Win a chance to punish the Helena Herald outfit for the great cruelty shown him since the day the Governor had his free railroad pass cancelled. The Leg- islature ought to accommodate him with a law on the subject. There is a tide in the affairs of men and women which taken at its ebbing leads to fortune. Some of this was seen in the dity yesterday. A fifty cent judicial faro snap was opened for the instruction of Judges of the Supreme Court and others of the legal fraternity. Great excitement was time re- sult, for the gentlemen were novices (?) at the game. The run was great and the dig- nified dignities proved themselves fine ex- perts, and the fun they had was immense. One man pulled out with twenty-five cents and it cost him $50 -but he struck the tide of fortune with a •Onis\ prefixed. On the final appearance of Council bill No. 8, in that chamber, on Wednesday, the chief clerk was instructed to read its histo- ry. The clerk did so with interpollations of his OW11. Beattie inquired whether it was read as it appeared on bill. The clerk replied it was, but admitted he had to add to it to make it plain. Beattie sardonically remarked that if a bill could stand Corp.'s additions it must bo of strong proportions. At a social gathering, the other evening, one of the young gents, over -anxious to display the handy way he had of waiting on the ladies, served a number of them with dishes of what he mistook forjelly. It was not jelly, and the ladies suppressed a loud laugh into a merry titter. The young gent had helped them to plates of butter, which had been adroitly fixed into minature little lambs. The young feller is now known by: \Heap Sheep,Little Lamb -and then it but- ter (butt her) into jelly!'' An embryo bloodshed took place at Lau- rins' recently,and was had overtime burning of a pit of charcoal. Coal or pit not much damaged. A hasty display of murderous weapons brought a parley of words, which quieted all further apprehensions of blood - spilling, and spoiled our chance for a fearful report of 3 dreadful tragedy. Moral -It is far better to shoot with noisy wind than to resort to the.explosion of concocted salt- peter. There is to be Sampling Works erected on the Big Hole River, at some point so as to take in the interests of the Bryant and Vipond Mining Districts. The works will be constructed on the plan of the Samp- ling Works at San Francisco. Noah Arm- strong and C. Dallier, Esqs., are the projec- tors of the enterprise. sec Ronan & Laeroix,reeently connected with the Gazette establishment, are out in a card announcing that they will soon establish a Democratic paper in Helena. Ilow soon hey will commence its publication is not stated. The MADISONIAN printers were consider- ately remembered by Mrs. I. Strausburger, who cheered their weary hours of midnight toil with a nice lunch of palatable eatables that were good to feed on. The thanks ofall, including the devil, are hereby made man- ifest -with the hope that Mrs. S. may ever be blessed for remembering our typos. The Legislature is running smoothly, like a well-oiled machine. The work goes on satisfactorily and uo waste of time is made. Often the irrepressible E.'anders disturbs the routine of business in the House, for he is as hard to keep quiet as Sunset Cox. PERSONALS. Hugh McQuaid, junior editor of the In- dependent, has arrived and is circulating in a modeet way 'round town. The Indepen- dent is an excellent Democratic paper, and within the past year has rapidly increased in circulation, and is in a prosperous condi- tion -all of which we are pleased to know, and hope for an unlimited continuance of o sa v i . Be Pollinger, of Pollinger's Ranche, p ti o lGe ked his nose into our oilise, and narrated a good one or two. Fred. Peck, 31. Herr and C. Mikus scoot- ed out for Bannock, after giving the city a day or two's benefit. Nick Carey, of Adobetown, called. Nick is no relation to \Old Nick\ -but is one of the kind we like to see often. Superintentent Hedges has been confirm- ed. and will continue to promote the educa- tional interests of Montana for ensuing two years. He has rendered satisfaction since he has filled the office, anti is as well quali fied as any man iu the Territory, Col. A. G. P. George, Geo. Cowan and Wm. Deaseey, Esqs., of Raderiburg, have gone home. They will be missed in the capital, for they were companionable men. 3Ir.

Mr. Napton was counsel in the case to test the constitutionality of the Alien Law, and was successful. The Supreme Court of Montana adjourn- ed yesterday. Judges Wade and Knowles left on this morning's coach for their homes.

Mr. H. is owner in extensive placer mines at the Horse Prairie diggings, in Beaverhead countv,which have paid well during the past season. Charles Mikus, of Bannack City, brought over a load of passengers. Although his name ends with a \kus he's not that sort of a man at all. The pleasant warm weat lier we have been enjoying has terminated and it as cold as congealed charity. Hon. Otho Curtis and W. F.
