On Tuesday afternoon we shook the dust of the city off our feet for a few hours and went out calling among the bovs down the gulch, whom we found as busy as a lot of beavers, and as thick as a e hope to find angels on resurrection day, all getting ready for spring. The Idaho Fluma Company have seventy- five Chinamen at work. and as far as I could learn are taking out fair pay. The Rodda and Code boys have been stripping all winter and each have a good area of gravel uncovered, from which they expect to realize a handsome return. John E. Main has a gang of 100 China- men at work on his ground. Ile says the \ prospect looks inviting.\ What Johnny can't get out of a Chinaman in the way of work wouldn't amount to enough to buy rice for a juvenile Celestial. Hissrich & Co. have a nice pit stripped which they will wash up as soon as the frost is out ot the ground. Their ground has heretofore paid well and they may con- fidently expect a reasonable compensation for their winter's work. Joe Barr has been drifting and piling his dirt -and a handsome pile he has of it too. Joe expects to have plenty of yellow stuff as soon as he can separate it from the ob- jectionable material with which it is mixed at present. Sedman & McGregory are preparing to extend their flume ; they anticipate a pros- perous season. And as their ground has heretofore paid immensely, we think their anticipation well grounded. Ilemeismever & Tobleman have a fair amount of pay stuff\ on the dump, which they have accumulated during the winter. Fred has manifested his faith in the fates by building an extensive addition to his residence ; this shows that he intends to stay where he is. Ham Bros. have drifted out a good win- ter's work. The boys are always fixed, as in their larder are at all times to be found a pair of Hams that have never been cut. Spitler, Mellon & Bro. are preparing to work the ground which they recently pur- chased from Davis & Co. Should this ground maintain its former good reputation its present owners have a good thing in sight. Wells & Co. have a bulk of gravel ex- posed to the genial rays of old Sol, suffi- cient to warrant that they have not been idle. Sweet & Bond are getting their flume iu shape for the spring opening. Ed. says he can work with a better heart now than he used to. They have a prospect for a prof- itable season's work. We like to see good men prosper, and here's where you find them. Peek & Burns have been drifting and sluicing the dirt as fast as they raised it. From the piles of tailings about their claim one would think they had hollowed out about an acre of ground during the winter. Their clean-ups have been estimated by the Peek and proven a panacea for Burns. McGovern & Co. have exposed to day- light, the gravel from 150 sets of timbers. Much of the \ precious \ is what they look for when they wash up. Short & Norton have surfaced a huge mound of \ grit\ and they think the labor expended in doing so has not been done in vain. Norton & Stanton have been on the streak all winter. Their ground is No. 1, and that means, when applied to ground in Al- der gulch, good enough for anybody. Quinn, Peele & Woodward have elevated matintain of pay gravel. They have left a hundred and fifty sets of timbern behind them. $75 to the set is what they expect. W. W. Swetland has worked a force of four men all winter on Ins claim. Ile has made a good showing on his dump; has been running on good ground and has no fears for the result. Donegan & McGovern are making ready for ground -sluicing on the bar opposite Adobetown, where they will open out as soon as the frost leaves the ground. Their ground will pay $7 or $8 a day to the hand. Davis, Edwards & Jones are about to ex- tend their flume several hundred feet. They have large expectations, and their past suc- cess justifies their most sanguine anticipa- tions. L. A. Finner has been industriously en- gaged on his claim during the cold term, and with the aid of his hoisting machinery has accomplished a vast amount of work, and has a flattering prospect ahead. . W. Scoville, of the California Company, still keeps up his lick, and his ground con- tinues to pay well. A ten years' residence in the gulch justly entitles Walt to the hon- or of being our oldest inhabitant.\ John Donegan has mines in shape for the opening season. He has an extensive claim which has paid uniformly about a half ounce to the hand per day. A. II. Van Broeklin is wo rkmg a gang of twenty Chinamen and four white men on his claim, with highly satisfactory results. An Old Montanian in Nevada. James McMahan, formerly of Adobetown, writes to Dave O'Brien, from the neigh- borhood of Eureka, Nevada, where he is located at present, that he thinks he has struck a good country. In giving the mar- ket price of different staples he quotes : flour $7 to $8 per hundred pounds ; pota- toes 24 cents per pound, and everything else in proportion. Among the old Mon- tauians whom he has met in that country, he mentions the names of James McGov- ern -a brother of Patrick McGovern -and Squire Woodward -a brother of Billy Woodward -also Jack Gallaher. He says that old man Edward, who formerly kept a saloon at Nevada, in the Fenian Hall, was killed some time since in the mines at that place. Many of the old boys have scattered off in pursuit of more inviting fields, but they still retain pleasant recollection of old Al- der. Those of us who remain are always glad to learn of their whereabouts and pros- perity. Jimmy says he gets the 3IADISO- SIAN, and he likes it. Jimmy, my boy. you shall have it regularly, if the mails don't get side-tracked in some of the big snow- drifts you have down that way. The Clasbey House. Captain Rodgers took formal possession of the Clasbey, as per announcement, on Monday last, and opened up with a goodly numbee of boarders. The House has re- ceived a thorough renovation from bottom to top. the rooms newly papered and car- peted. all the bed -rooms are furnished in elegant style, and the beds made to look so neat and comfortable that one feels sleepy on beholding them. The dining -room and kitchen are as neat as a pin, and in fact the entire establishment, in every depart- ment, shows that it has fallen into good hands. Mrs. Rodgers presides in the bitch en, and guest can consequently depend on finding the table all they desire. The Sumniitites to the number of several or more, have been down this week, aml during their stay in the city have been regular attendanta upon the revival meet- ings, some of them appear to have been Afrec:t - 1 with a feeling of seriousness. Horse Racing at Adobetown. The bottom, mettle. swiftness, wind, and all the concomitant parts ot fast horse -flesh will be displayed on the Adabetown race course on to-morrow,Sunday,at au appoint- ed time. The polls are made up and the betting is lively. with the odds in favor of the favorite horse. Quite a number of dyers are entered, and some with pedigrees us long as a hoe handle, which is indicative of thoroughbred blood. A few scrub broncos will be there, but will not figure iu the run- ning, as it is intended to be a race for first- class horses. We are told. that there will be a large crowd on hand, and that the running will be on the square. People who are prone to staking money on animals that do not talk will have an opportunity of putting up greenbacks to back their opinion. The race will be for twenty-five hundred. To Our Helena Patrons. The MADISONIAN has quite a large list of subscribers in the city of Helena, and there has been no falling -off since the late un- pleasantness began on the Capital question. The citizens of Helena are subject to such an overwhelming amount of stretched truth in the columns of their local papers, that it must be, indeed, a source of relief to see themselves, once a week, in the light of a living reality. The MADISONIAN will en- deavor to have something to say in their be- half until next August. In devoting some of our space to the interests of the metropo- lis. we will say to our Helena patrons that no extra charge will be made, and that $5 a year is all we will tax them for advocating their peculiarities, and we will do so in a manner entertaining and instructive. Useful Things for Men. Men's feet -scabbards, of English manu- facturer are to be obtained at Armstrong & Johnson's. They are intended to be worn inside of boots, shoes or slippers, and next to the feet. They are better than Yankee goods of a similar construction, having more heft and solidity. They don't wear out in a week, and males not addicted to wearing Oregon -nips\ will find it to their advant- age to get some. Messrs. A. & J. also keep on hand masculine shirts suitable for male people, which they still sell at fair figures. For further particulars drop into the corner store, where everything herein related will be more elaborately expounded. Running Races by Moonlight. The beautiful moonlight nights are hn- proved by the boys down at Adobetown. Foot -racing is the novelty indulged in, and they all run. A pot of $2.50 is put up. and the slowest man pays for the whiaky, which figures up, generally, $15. The boys are having a heap of tun -except the ones who come out last best racing. They commence at Nick's and scratch gravel for a distance of one hundred yards with a fleetness like the song says about \ chasing the antelope o'er the plain.\ Angels' visits to men are said to be few. Sometimes they do visit printing offices. for it is conceded that men of that persuasion are models of propriety and embodiments of morality. This is surely the case where a moral devil, possessed of a comely coun- tenance, presides over delicate lamp -black distributions -and with these few words we'll adjourn the subject, promising that if we are ever called upon to record a visit of angels again that a more exhaustive des- sertation will be made on the occasion. A little over one year ago we sent our clock up to a jeweler's shop for renovating. purposes. It is a wonderful clock, and the intricate combinations of its machinery made it necessary for the clock -repairer to send to Central Asia for material to fix it! 'rhe moral to this is this -if you own a clock of this kind sell it, and get one with American 'guards\ in it. We printed a matter of information that the West Gallatin river had ice -gorged, two weeks ago, damaging some residents near Central Park, by overflowing their ranches. A correspondent says that the overflow part of our item was imbued with prematurity. Well, all we can say is, the confounded river should have flooded something after being so printed in a respectuble newspaper. Joe Boyer, a member of the craft, ivho has been engaged on the Montanian during the past winter, retires to become a South Willow Creek Granger henceforward. Joe is one of the kind above suspicion -and we wish him heaps of luck in the raising of ta- ters and vegetable birds. Reports from Northern Utah and Eastern Idaho are received stating that large num- bers stock -men are loosing hundreds of cat- tle. On the line of the railroad, in Utah, the cattle have become so poor, from want of feed, that they bother the running of trains, being unable to get off the track after they get on, and paying no attention to the whis- tle of the locomotive. The Cork Company are digging a large side -ditch on their gulch mines, just below town. This will give them greater advan- tages, and enable them to work their dig- gings in better shape than heretofore. Dr. Ogden intends leaving Virginia City by the first of May, and parties intending to have plates inserted or any kind of dental work performed, will remember this and have work done before that time. Charles Wunderlich, merchant and post- master at Divide,in Deer Lodge county,was visiting the city during the week. Mr. W. reports everything favorable in that part of Montana. with the prospect for a great deal of work being dane in the VipoM and Bry- ant Mining Districts the coming summer. No examination into the merits of the biting and hatcheting rumpus that came off in Calitornia Gulch has been held yet. One of the parties is considerably damaged, and the matter will, probably. go to the Grand Jury for original consideration, thereby sav- ing the costs attending a preliminary hear- ing. The Fisk Bros.. of Helena, advertise for parties to scoop out a hole in the ground. It is their intention to cover the hole with a Herald building. We make mention of this as an enterprise likely to be completed. A Rich Summons -Trial of a White Shoat Four Months Old -The Police Judge Convicts a Little Pig. Our Police Judge rarely gets an opportu- nity to display the vast amount of smother.; ed intelligence contained in him, and his ac- quirements of a legal kind are a hole or two above the \soap -boiling\ order. The case of a poor little runt of a four -month -old pig exhausted Police Judge Carp.'s stock of law one day during the past week. The learn- ed (?) Judge duly issued a summons for one White Shoat to appear before him and an- swer, which is the first occasion we know of where a pig appeared in a court to plead against a formally -worded criminal charge. Carp.'s order of court is too rich to be lost -and all men with a slight knowledge of the law will read the following summons with a \ grin that Nvould tickle the ribs of de- spair.\ Carp.'s struggle is: In Police Court, Territory of Montana, County of Madison, SS. before A. M. S. Carpenter, P. J. City of Virginia, The City of Virginia ) vs. John Doe and one SUMMON'S. White Shoat four months old. The People of the Territory of Montana, send T g o lT Jo e t h u i l i g: Doe and One White Shoat four months old, the defendAnts:- You are hereby commanded to appear before me at my office in the City Hall, in the City of Virginia, on or bethre the 30th day of March, A. D., 1874, at 10 o'clock, a.m., of said day, in an action brought against you by the Plaintiff herein, and answer the complaint tiled therein, orjudgment by default will be taken a4ainst you according to the prayer of said comPlaint. And you are hereby notified that if you fail to appear and answer as above required, the plaintiff will take judgment against you for the costs of this proceeding. This action is brought for the purpose of con- demning and selling the said Shoat -the same now being in the pound of said City, having been taken up anti placed therein on the 21st day of March, A. D., 1874, because the same was found running at large within the limits of said City, contrary to the form of the Ordinance in sucli case mide and provided; and also to re- cover the costs of this proceeding Witness my hand this 28th day March, A. D. , 1874. A. M. S. CARPENTER, Police Judge. CITY MARSHAL'S OFFICE, VIRGINIA, March 28th, 1874. I hereby certify that the foregoing is a full, true and correct copy of the Summons issued out of the Police Court of the City of Virginia, in the above -entitled action. Witness my hand this the day and year last above-writteu. TIMOTHY RUSH, City Attorney. The case was tried. John Doe being a mythical man did not appear. The White Shoat four months old was there and the Shoat and Judge, seemingly, were possess- ed of feelings running in sympathetic uni- son. Possibly the City Ordinances compel the Police Judge to prosecute shoats as criminals -but if they do tile city fathers had better mend them. The defendant -\One White Shoat four months old \-was con- victed by Carp. and ordered to be sold for a reckless disregard of police law -and be- cause it was only four months old. The last Missoulian contains an appropri- ate editorial on the Capital question, and dissects the sophistries and pretensions of the Helena Herald in a manner that will grate coarsely on the refined feelings of the publishers of the sun -down edition. It is comforting to witness an impartial outsider rebuking the bluffing blowing of the Herald, whose tendency toward untruthfulness is, of late, fast consigning it to a position of utter degradation appalling to a Christian people, who detest its misrepresentations of the local greatness of the metropolis, as a flagrant violation of decent journalism. becoming transparent that the gushinga of the Herald are the overflowings of an exci- ted imagtuaticn. The editor of the Herald spent a few days in Chicago,recently, learn- ing how to build up burnt districts, and has complete stock of Chicago editorials to ape. He had a carpet -bag full of them roll- ed up in soiled shirts when he passed by Gaffney, a couple of weeks since. They are coming out in the Herald now, with a regularity and Punctuality refreshing to a patient and enduring people -being altered se as to be locally applicable to lidera. In order to correct the unhealthy impressions created by the Herald's imported editorials it becomes our plain duty to publish the fol- lowing which is curtailed from a private letter, from Helena, and is reliable: \All of the Burnt District will not be built up for the present -if it is ever done. Times are dull here. It takes money to build houses and the people hake been so unfortunate in this city that most of them are broke.\ • Returned to His First Love. Bob. Renshaw. an old resident of Vir- ginia City, after trying his luck for a cou- ple of years in the \ East -side Metropolis,\ has returned with his family, to his old hbrap,aud taken up his residence. He says there - may be better towns in Montana than Viiginia, but if so. it has not been his luck tb strike them rightly, and for the present lie wila be content to have his lot cast among die people of the \ Social City,\ and take a pot luck\ with them. Welcome back. 7Our Special Attorney -General. Reliable Anformation reaches us from Washington, that special Indian detective W. H. Clagett, for Montana. has been dis- missed by the Department ofJustice. There is a bare possibility that there was a neces- sity tor such an appointment; but the man- ner in which the detective worked up the cases of frauds it the Indian service in Mon- tana, has doulaltss convinced the Attorney - General that he hid selected the wrong man for the place. A.1 men are not infallible. and the Attorney-General is as likely to be sucked in as any other man -anyhow we can't most always tell anyway just exactly from where we are how it was that the thing .waa done nustly. The above pertnent observations are ex- tracted from the alissoulian. The W. H. Clagett alluded to is the gentleman who was elected Delegate to Congress from Montana. through the split-up of the Lewis and Clarke Democracy, a few years ago. He was com- pelled to retire to private life in consequence of being championed by the Deer Lodge Northwest. The Missoulian is a little un- kind toward our \silver-tongued\ Billy in denominating him as an Indian \detective\ -for the position he held was duly dignified as \special U. S. counser-i.e., a fifth -class attorney -general. But as Mr. Clagett has now engaged in the laudable pursuit of a miner and is seeking to become an holiest and honorable man again, it seems real rude far the Missoulian to drag him into tempo- rary notoriety. Specs to See the Point With. Hank Pease has a sort of spectacles called \pebble fraternity\ and you can almost see through a grind -stone with these alders. They are sending for them up to Helena. Hank showed us a letter from that city and part ot it read-\ Send me a few pairs of spectacles of the pebble fraternity.' \ A person with weak eyes and inferior intelli- gence can easily detect the points in the ed- itorials of the Herald.by using those specs. Mr. Pease will not permit the local demands of Helena to advance the price of these use- ful articles. Talk about the immensity of Helena when her citizens have to send to Virginia City for specs to see it with. Bet- ter, oh far better, relate her greatness to the horse -marines. lion. Bobt. P. Vivioa made his debut as Prosecuting Attorney for this District at Radersburg at the late term of court there, in some very important eases, and we hear his efforts spoken of in a highly complimen- tary manner. -Courier. Hugh Coleman, living on Bozeman creek, a few miles above town. met with a painful accident on Saturday. He was thrown from a horse, and having a lariat around himwas pulled about considerably, receiving severe Messrs. J. B. and J. V. Bogert have leased the popular business house of Col. L. 11. Black, corner of Main and Black sixeets. They intend to opeu up an extensive stock of goods as soon as they can overhaul and repair the building. -lb. The vote on the City Charter was taken on Monday, the 23d of March. But little interest was manifested in the result, and hence the vote' was small. The vote was 22 for to 104 against the Charter. -lb. • The Gallatin City Grangers. At GallatinCity they have made a Grange organization and elected the necessary of- ficers to run a first-class institution on the high-pressure principle. The officers are: Master, Stephen Allen ; Observer, A. R. Stanton ; Lecturer, J. A. Pease ; Steward, T. M. Dunbar; Assistant Stewart, Frank Akin ; Chaplain, William Rea ; Treasurer, James Russell ; Secretary, J. 0. Hopping : Gate -Keeper, John England ; Ceres, Mrs. James Gallop; Pomona, Mrs. G. D. Thomas; Flora, Mrs. J. A. Pease : Stewardess, Mrs. J. 0. Hopping. The order is meeting with success in the Three Forks section of the Territory. \Honor to Whom Honor is Due.\ Whereas one Crockett, a saddler by pro- fession, and a descendant of Davy of Ken- aaaa - was inferentially accused in our last paper, with hooking sawed wood belonging te John Thomas ; and whereas, the said Caogkett did enter our office, boiling over with :wrath at the said insinuation, charac- terizing the same as being highly defama- tory and injurious to his standing as a fel- low -citizen among men ; and whereas the said Crockett did, in a threatening and be- ligerent Manner utter impious talk, coupled with threats of civil damages through the machinations of outraged law; now, there- . fore; by virtue of these reflections be it known that the said Crockett should not be condemned without a further hearing. The said Crockett says, in self-defense, that Letoy Southmayele did \ snipe \ Thomas' wood to thaw out a set of harness with - and that he, the said Crockett, stands ready te prove this. - Leroy Southmayde has here- tofore borne an unblemished reputation, \ How are you, Boss ?\-Fred Peek. and him and Crockett for it -and, -\may the \ He's all right. He's from Ohio.\ -Tom best man win !\ The parties who had a preliminary exam- Hamilton. illation before the Probate Judge, charged with the cleaning up of sluice -boxes, were held to appear before and explain the mat- ter in a more satisfactory light at the next term of District Court commencing April 6. They entered into written agreements of the value of $250 each that they would not fail to observe the hinta of the court. John Spitler. of the \ St. Charles,\ at Adobetown, was scared on last Saturday evening. About a dozen ladies and double that number of gentlemen surprised John, taking possession of his domicile and turn- ing it into a concert -room enjoying them- selves in singing songs until a late hour. Sayings of the Eminent Men of Ban- nack.

Imported Imagination vs. Truth. The Revival Meetings -Many on the Gospol Train and More ltendy to The Helena Herald is building up the Jump Aboard -The Work Going Burnt District, and devotes whole column:5 - of choice s reading bourgeois in accomplish- Bravely On. The Religious Revival that has been prog- ing that \indomitable\ uhdertakinga To ressing in our city, has met. thus far, with constant readers of that truly enterprising a success gratifying to the minister* laboring edition of local recuperative powers it is in the work of redeeming simmers, and is a proof that when the Gospel of Christ is pow- erfully and feelingly preached to the people it possesses a healing and comforting balm soothing to those who accept it. The teach- ings and doctrines constituting the princi- ples of our beautiful Christian rsligion have been dwelt upon by the preachers with a force calculated to awaken the latent relig- ion of the back -slider and arouse the limiter- ing fears of the wayward to a sense that the love of Christ is great enough to cover all humanity if accepted, and make us fly from vice to virtue. Night after night has Tem- lar's Hall been crowded to its full capacity, and the congregations that have eagerly listened to the inviting words of consolation attest the interest manifested, and that the work was commenced and is being prosecu- ted at an opportune time. The conversions have been many, and the seekers after the forgiving love of the Sa- vior embrace both sexes. and the old and the young have come forward to testify in public that they are eager to adopt and fol- low the ways of time Christian, fearing not the idle scoffs and jeers of the wide world. Among the unconverted who have nightly assembled at the meetings there are per- ceptible signs of a longing desire \to get on board the train\ -and if it only tarries a little longer many will jump aboard, with tickets in their hands, destined for that sta- tion called -\The Happy Land of Canaan.\ The afternoon prayer -meetings have been promptly attended and have afforded a bet- ter chance for the newly -converted to ex- press their fears, their hopes, and their hap- py realizations ot a new state of being. Some of the real old-fashioned Methodist spirit pervades these re -unions for prayer, and the boundless grace of the Lord seems to cover and take hold of the participants. The ministers engaged up to Thursday evening were Revs. Iliff, Riggia and Van Orsdel-Revs. Prout and Cady lending a helping hand and encouraging indorsement of the good work. On Thursday night Rev. Iliff preached a farewell sermon to our peo- ple, as he was compelled to depart for his home at Bozeman. Mr. Iliff has created a favorable impression in our community and endeared himself to many of our people, tbr there is an earnestness and sincerity in his preaching that strikes an audience with the conviction that he loves his fellow -crea- tures, and that his feelings as exhibited in the pulpit are the genuine outpourings of a good heart. At the close of the services on the evening mentioned, a farewell hand- shaking was held, and the warmth with which he was greeted was evidence that a verdiet;of \ well done thou good and faith- ful servant\ was meeted out to him. Mr. left on yesterday, and he carried with him the well -wishes of all our people. The work goes bravely on, and to take the place of Mr. Dili the Revs. Van Anda and Duncan are pouring Gospel -broadsides into the vulnerable sinners with a strength that will bring more of them to bend peniten- tial knees around the altar. Revs. Riggin and Van Orsdel keep up, nightly, with an unflagging energy the fight of the Lord, and they are on board the train offering free passes to all those wishing to join Christ, and their powerful exhorting and singing is a life-giving element to the rivival that is creditable and very effective. [Clipped from the New Northwest.] There are about 100 aeholars attendirg the Public Schools of Deer Lodge and 70 or 80 regular attendants at our Sabbath School. The family of Dr. W. W. Higgins are coming up the river, leaving St. Louis early in April. Mr. Raine will put on his Daily Coach Line, between Deer Lodge and Pioneer, about April 10th. Mrs. Thos. H.

Mr. Bowes has the frame of the Presby- terian Church pointing heavenward again. less A Sad Accident. Col. Deimling's little son Willie, while playing around a wagon from which Mr. Miller was unloading some heavy timbers, yesterday forenoon, had his leg broken by a falling log. It seems that Willie in company with several of Mr. Miller's chaps was playing about the wagon, and Mr. Miller cautioned them mit to come too near as he was fearful that they might get hurt. He supposed they had retreated from danger and was not aware that any of them were near the wagon at the time of the accident until he heard Willie cry out that his leg was broken, and saw him struggling to get upon his feet, which, of course, he was un- able to do. Picking him up he found that his leg was broken square off about half way between the ankle and knee. Dr. Yager was called and set the limb. The little fellow stood the operation like a major, and is comfortable. No blame can attach to Mr. Miller. [Items -Extracted from the Herald.] The mill at Unionville, was closed from the 1st of January to the 31st of March. From the latter date to Christmas Eve it crushed 5,208 tons of ore, yielding $154,048 30 in gold, which sold for $173,852 87 cur- rency. Capt. Dusold, Deputy U. S.

Duncan has labored long and hard in the cause of the Church in this Territory, has remained faithful to his trust under vary- ing and trying circumstances, and the old man now rejoices in the realization of the fact that many of his old friends and neighbors have come over to the Lord's side and declared their determination to be, henceforward, found laboring for the ad- vancement of Christianity. Jimmy Brown, one of the whole-souled- est pieces of humanity that was ever wrap- ped up in the same amount of peeling, dropped in to see us on Tuesday evening. Jimmy is in the employ of Wells, Fargo & Co., as messenger from Helena to Cor- inne. The company manifested their ap- preciation of his fidelity and valuable ser- vices by presenting him recently with a tine gold watch and chain. A well -deserved compliment. We have known Jimmy since the days \ When we were girls and boys together,\ \ way back there in Missouri yet,\ and can vouch for his being good, \clean throa\ Good times, them. Eh, Jim. We acknowledge a call from Mr. A. J. Bennett, of Sheridan. Mr. B. is just over from the Gallatin country, where has been engaged in teaching. In about two weeks he will commence a term of school at Sher- idan. He taught in that district some two years ago, and became such a favorite with both parents and children that they have been anxious to engage him for a second term. Mr. Bennett is deservedly popular as a pedagogue, and when the young idea tails to learn to shoot under his tuition, it is indicative of dullness on the part of Mr. Young Idea. MRS.
