THE MADISONIAN. SATURDAY, APRIL 11, 11474. LOCAL - NEWS, The Prospects for Our Miners. The favorable warm weather we have been enjoYing for the last week makes the miners up and down the gulch begin to spread their tricks for operations, and as eoon as the ice gets out they will have their flitches and flumes in mining shape. The indications for a lasting eimply of water for all summer is not very gootaand miners will take advantage of it while it tests to rush through ground -sluicing and hydraulicing, l e aving the mass of bed -rock to be cleaned tip after the supply of water begins to grow weak. The scant supine - of snow at the Semmit looks like the Spring of '64, but the rains of that year kept up the water supply. Br good management on the part of our miners most of the disadvantages of a short supply of water can be obviated, and many thousands of dollars be taken out that would otherwise remain buried. Mutual Thrift. Our attention has been that the Bozeman Courier is heavily freight- aback when he beheld the hall filled with Encouraging to the Bachelors 1 Very Convenient. It is an obligation WP are under to defend Our bachelor friends, at least such has our fellow -men and say a few strengthening been our experience, find it a great source and condoling remarks in behalf of the of trouble to keep their wardrobes in a boys occasionally.

It may be mutual thrift. • Catholic Church on Easter Sunday. Last Sabbath being Easter Sunnay, the services and sermon at the Catholic Church were suited to the day. Rev. Father Kelle- her preached a beautiful discourse on the 'Resurrection of Christ,\ to a large con- gregation. Ile dwelt on the believing hope and faith of the Christain, and that to deny the resurrection of Jesus would be knock- ing one of the corner -stones out of a religion that has withstood the attacks of its ene- mies for eighteen centuries, shedding light and happiness over the civilized world. The other services were those of the church specially designed for Easter Sunday, and were impressive. A Duel Likely to Take Place. A young man who was recently the recipient of a gratuitous personal matrimo- nial puff, printed in the middle -of -the -week edition of dullness, requests us to say that the same is an untrue portraiture, drawn designedly for the purpose of bringing him prominently before the gaze of a cod and uncharitable world—and further, that he has no large band of ponies on the range, and does his utmost to be an examplary young man. More than this, he requests us to say that if the \ 'Andsome 'Arry\ local desires to avoid pistols and coffee, he will retract. ..Nete—Read the words\ 'Andsonte 'Arry\ in feminine accents if possible. effect will be greater. and the object of the man requesting the insertion of this %yin be nearer accomplished. To Our Beaverhead Friends. The reason why the Independent—a pa- per now printed at Helena—casts a shabby fling at the town of Bannask and the good people thereof is explained by stating that the Independent never wes a success among the Bannackites, who hate to pay $6 a year for nothing. The MADISONIAN has a large list at Bannaek, and as the people of Bea- verhead have no newspaper we will continue to further their interests, and stand ready to defend them troll the contemptible im- putations of any one-horse newspaper in the Territory. We invite our Beaverhead friends to send us items of mining news and anything that will promote their prosperity and general welfare, which we will be pleas- ed to publish. Reduced From $10 to 423. Andrew Jackson Smith, Surveyor -Gener- al for Montana, whose office is located in Helena, advertises that—'•Notice is hereby given that the deposit for Office Work on Mineral Claims is reduced to $2,3 on all such elaitas, where ;340 have been heretofore es- timated.\ Mr. Smith has just arrived from ;the States am/ can afford to work cheaper than the acclimated chaps who have here- tofore filled the Surveyor's office. Miners and locators of mineral groued will feel thankful toward Andrew for his reduction of deposit made in their behalf.

Revival Results in the West -Side. Revs. S. J. Catlin and C. W. Sanford have been holding a series of revival meetings at Stevensville, in Missoula county. They commenced on the 22d and closed on the 29th of last month. The meetings were at- tended largely and were of great interest. Thirteen accessions were obtained to the Church at Stevensville. Revs. Catlin and Sanford have been doing good service since the closing of the last Conference,and in the Missoula and Corvallis mission there have been added to the Church ninety-eight adults and eleven infants, as the results of their labors in the cause of the Redeemer. Select School for Girls. The Second Term of the St. Paul's School will begin on Monday, April 12th. under the care of the Rev. Mr. Prout and Miss Prout. Taking Their Cent per Cent in Music. Persons who have ever visited Barnum's Museum, when the animals were off duty and the show was at rest, %vitt remember the howling of white mice, the bleating of cat- amounts, the braying of asses, the lowing of lions, the screeching of tigers, the cack- ling of ostriches, the hissing of anacondas, the cooing of elephants. tae gabbling of Hottentots, the roaring of canipbells, the barking of bears, the neighing et' wolves, the purring of pelicans. the screeching of doveil,the singing of swans, the grun tine of zebras and the music of a cracked organ. Twice a week are the citizens of the city greeted with a noise like all these concen- trated and combined. The shrieking cal- nopetic toots of our old neutral-subsidized- sleepy-snmtamea-neighates te the cent per cent that gentlemen will realize on that un- fortunate investment of $3,000. however, as it is distributed among a number of gen- tlemen, it will not fall with crushing weight upon any single individual—for which the Lord should be thanked. Another dividend next week. Profits on a ten dollar and two bits' job of county blanks will be equally distributed between the boss and the gen- tleman upon whom the joke has been so successfully played. \The Heart Bowed Down by Weight of Woe\ isn't the same heart of the young fel- ler in *Wallace street, near Jackson, who sings the ballad nightly. No—the hearts that do suffer belong to those who've got to listen to hint and can't get at him with a good-sized club. 110-4114 The passengers filling up the Corinne coaches now -a -days is : n evidence of Mon- tana's citizens returning to their homes. Many who have been off to the Statee scoot- ing around will be glad to return and con- cede that our Territory is the spot to get your money back with a slight shower of the sweat of your brow. Another large and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of Helena took place at their court -house last week. The District Attor- ney presided and the local editor of the Her- ald said a splendid grace. The programme embraced resolutions, of course, and they reflected on the impropriety of permitting pigs to roam at large. The resolutions were The Club Dances that have furnished so signed by all metropolitans who could write much amusement for our young people dur- '- and presented to the Historical Society, ins; the winter, have closed for the season. where coming generations of men will look Buck & Cave's pack train, of about forty animals, loaded with flout- and bacon, start: over them and wonder at the intelligence ed for the Kootenai mines, last Thursday. of a great people. For some time :Ye have noticed that there is published in Helena a kind of a 10x12 dingy daily. We have carefully scanned the columns of this paper, in hopes of find- ing a solitary 'tent of news. But that scan- ning has been in vain. We have seen many attempts to print morning newspapers on this Continent but the merest \attempt\ is issued in Helena. Inordinate damphools can not print daily papers in the United States, and live long, is the rule—and the rule is an arbitrary one. Radersburg. The new bridges at Twin Bridges, about completed by the Lott Bros., are a big im- provement on the old ones. They are more substantially built and of greater capacity in every way. We understand that most of the travel is passing over these bridges, and the roads in that section are dry, and up the Beaverhead they are in good condi-. tion for freighting over. Our clock got home—which shows the superiority of advertising in a well -circula- ted journal. Americans do reed the papers. eesse• [Clipped from the New Northwest.] A private letter from Radershurg tells us The Public School moneys of this District that the prospects 'if that flourishing coun- will be exhausted this mouth. ty town are good, aud that the quartz inter- ests are brightening up.

He says that there has a wonderful change taken place. Patrons' Ball. The members of Harrison Grange, No. 8, will give their first ball on April 16th. Their new hall, in which the ball will be given, is being fitted up in good shape for the oc- casion. A large number of invitations are being issued, and those who are invited are expected to attend. The committee on music were in town this week and engaged a Buzz\ Caven's band. When \Buzz\plays and \Abe\ tells them which way to go timings are bound to be regular. The ladies of the Grange have resolved themselves into a committee of the whole to prepare the supper, and all the ladies and gentle- men into a like committee to see that all who attend are properly cared for, and that everything that can conduce to their enjoy- ment be provided. If we were kit a choice to attend the Patrons' Ball on Upper Willow Creek on the 16th, or go to school when all the big girls come, we should say, emphatically—\Give us liberty or give us death,\ and we'll go to the dance. • ANOTHER LITTLE BUD. [Written fir the Madisonian.] Another little bud into human life starts, And is lovingly engrafted within our parent hearts— A bud within dainty calyx softly folded, Earth's most beauteous germ—a pure, fresh i3OUI is molded. Another little bud, that from the parent tree Must now be nourished into beauteous growth From the protroplasm—all lovliness and truth, That in ripening years it may not fruitless be. Fairest, teaderest germ of purest, whitest soul, Most holy, prayerful task mine shall be To guard the fair tendrils—the advancing bole, To train thee from opening bud to noble tree Mits. E. W. UPPER. PASSAMARI, M. T. Sale of a Blooded Bull. Alex. Metzel has sold his bull Second Duke cf York, to Charley Beehrer. The Duke is pronounced by competent judges who have examined him to be one of the finest in the Territory. He is fourteen months old, dark red color, tips the scale handsomely at 1,100 pounds, and is as tine as a ribbon.. Ile was sired by Mr. Meteers Oxford Butter -fly and darned by Cotta, a pure thorough -bred, which gives him a clear pedigree. Mr. Beehrer is availing himself of every oportunity to add to his already fine herd of short -horns, and in the purchase of the Duke has made a valu- able acquisition. In and Out of Town. Mr. Thomas Murray day last, from Grant where he had been to returned on Satur- county, Wisconsin, secure a home with his sister, Mrs. Cary, for his little children. He was accompanied by a couple of neph- ews, whose names we did not learn, but bid them all welcome all the same. Frank Boyden, for the past two years in the employ of Messrs. Patten & Lambrecht, took his departure for the State of Nevada, on Thursday morning. Wherever Frank may unpack his a kit \ we take pleasure in commending him to the people among whom he casts his lines, as a young man worthy their confidence in every respect. August Jessen, the handsomest boy in town, and who has behaved himself, so becomingly as to gain tor himself the sobri- quet ot •• Everybody's Favorite,\ made up a part of the cargo of the out -going coach on yesterday morning. He goes to Helena. Good-bye, Gussy, and don't let those naughty pair -a -dice boys learn you bad ways while you are among them. R. P. Viviou, District Attorney, G. W. Odell, Thomas Cotter, G. C.

Phillip Dodson, James Hughes, Dr. 11. Monroe, F. J. Hibbard. and John Nelson, of Boze_ man, are in the city, attending court, most of them as witnesses in the Dumphy-Ford ease. J. W. Hyde, is in from Sterling. H. II. Mood; H. C. Harrison, and Major N. J . Isdela were in from Willow Creek. They put up at the Minnesota House. 0. F. Parmeter, Geo. Hardesty, A. Purdam, and Squire Cowell, were up from Sheridan. Capt. Williams and Alex. Metzel, of the Upper Valley, dropped in to see us one day this week. Capt. says he has the finest two -year -old thorough -bred in the umuu- Oains, and Alex, goes back at him with. \Yes Capt.., Ite is a good one, but remem- ber he is from my herd.\ Ed. Combs, was up from the valley dur- ing the week. We acknowledge a call from Mr. A. Sul- livan, of Beaverhead. To our question of how he liked the MADISONIAN, he replied that\ greenbacks talk,\ and that's all he said. Thanks. Judge Lott, of Twin Bridges, was up this week, doing a little courting. The Judge knows all about it; he has been In the business a long time. 0. J. Salisbury. of the Overland Stage Company, is in the city on business. Chet. Weeks, of Bryant district paid us a visit on Friday. He gives a fair report from that section of the country, and says if things turn out is Well as appearances in- dicate, he will put up a mill somewhere in that vicinity. The Revival—Closing of the Meetings - The interest manifested in the Revival continued during the week up till ThursdaY evening, when the meetings were brought . to a close. The congregations that turned - out nightly were large, filling the hall, and the efforts of the ministers to arouse the people to an appreciation of the pardoning love of the Savior were successful, for more passengers got on board the Gospel Train, renouncing the wicked ways of the uncoil- verted and announcing their intention to travel henceforward under the banner of - the Christian. Revs. Van Anda, Riggin, Duucan and Van Orsdel labored hard, and offered to lin- ners all the inducements in the power of Christian ministers to - quicken them in the forsaking of sinful pursaits, constant's re- minding their hearers that althoueli the saint and the sinner live together in this world. their paths diverge the moment they enter the valley of death. That the risflite eous shall enter into eternal life, While the unconverted shall be consigned to everlast- Mg punishment. The preachers done well, and it is a matter for congratulation that their work was crowned with succese, for the accessions to the Church sere many.. On Tuesday night there was no preach- ing,the evening being devoted to the admin- istration of the love -feast and sacrament of the Lord's Supper. Many embraced the inse portunity of publicly attesting their fellow- ship and communion in the army of believ- ers in Jesus Christ by going forward' tithe altar and partaking of the broken .bi•ade symbolistic of the salvation offered through_ faith in the crucified Redeetner.•- . The Afternoon Prayer -Meetings held at the Hall, and at the residences of many of the brethren, were attended eagerly by the old members and new converts, and gave a better chance for sympathetic expressions of feelings and the offering of prayers, than could be indulged in in a public assembly. The meetings were ended on Thursday evening. Revs. 'Van Anda, Duncan and Van Orsdel having departed to other fields of labor, the duty of terminating the Revi- val devolved upon Rev. Mr. Riggin. Mr. Riggin did not preach from a selected text, but delivered a discourse, reviewing the work that had been accomplished. He portrayed a bright future for the Church, and humbly thanked the Lord that his co - laborers and himself had been permitted to be instrumental in effecting happy results in the good cause. Rev. Mr. Prout also ad- dressed the congregation, expressing him- self highly pleased and gratified at what had been accomplished. The first steamer to navigate the waters of Missouri river tributary streams, above the Falls, will be one owned by 3Ir. Fa - auk. Jones. of Unionville, the hull of which has just been launched at the Helena ship- yard.—Herald. Refreshing. Next we will look for the Herald to announce that the Government has located a navy -yard at Helena to expe- dite the building of inland monitors and dry -land ironclads. While Helenaites have their hands in the ship -building business it would be well for them to construct a flotilla of commodious scows, suited for the waters of Salt River. Tiles,' will need many after the Territorial vote at the August election. Lost Post -Office Money Orders. Frequent inquiry is made of us as to the mode of proceeding in the case of lost post - office money orders. On examinatien of the U. S. Postal Code we find in section 113 the following provisions: \That whenever a money order has been lost, the Postmaster General, upon application of the remitter or payee of such order, may cause a dupli- cate thereof to be issued, without chirge, provided the party losing the original shall furnish a certificate from the postmaster by whom it was payable that it had not been, and would not thereafter he paid, and a similar certificate from the postmaster by -whom it was issued that it had not been and would not thereafter be paid.\ They have been having more trouble at Helena. It appears that Mike Chase, chief corporal in their fre department forgot how to ring the alarum bell, and made a mess uf it. For this he was sharply criticized in the Herald. Mike retorts and comes back with an edict forbidding all persons from ringing the town bell with greater rapidity than twenty strokes to the slow time of the \ Dead March in Saul,\ on pain of banish- ment and circumcision. At latest accounts peace prevailed. Choir Singing on Last Sunday. The rendition of Pefer's Mass by the Choir, at the Catholic Church, on last Sab- bath, was creditable and would compare favorably with many of the pretentious efforts of Cathedral choirs where singing is made an entire specialty. Miss Watson sang the b•Avia Maria\ with decided effect, and the organ accompaniment by Mr. Jes- sen, was well played. The instrumental and vocal music at the Catholic Chtu•ch is of an appreciative order and deservedly popular. The Scholars of the Sterling School, un- der the training of the teacher, Mr. Thos. Jackson, gave an Exhibition on the 30th of March. The exercises comprised singing, the reading of compositions, declamations and juvenile stump speeches, and the statist- ars acquitted themselves with credit. The City Fathers would do well to open their eyes to the condition of some of the streets of the city. The filth should be re- moved and the streets cleaned. Cleatilihees is said to be akin to Godliness, and a gentle reminder will be all that is necessary. Wilbur F. Sanders, the chief of the four thousand Republican voters of Montana find a lawyer by trade, is in attendance on the District Court. Mr. S. is enjoying 0(41 . health, but is reticent on railroad and capi- tal questions—probably thinking himself a sojourner in the land of the Philistines. E. Warren Toole and \V. F.

Were it not for the extreme modesty of the silent partner in this company, we would enlarge on the merits of this claim, but as it has been written that \Modesty adorns NA - oman, but ruins man,\ and believing this silent partner to be the embodiment of more native modesty than it has ever been our misfortune to find con- centrated in one individual, we desist. Hart & Co. are at work on their claim, judging by the yield from this ground last year this company has a flattering pros- pect ahead. Hays, Stearns & Co. have been drifting and sluicing all winter, with satisfactory results. Parker, Williams & Co. have their flume and ground in tip-top shape. We predict for them a prosperous season. The Highland Company is ready for work; the members say they will tre satisfied with as good pay in the future as they have ob- tained. in the past, but the more pay the more satisfaction. Shoeing a Horse. There is something about putting on a horse-shoe that very few men understand. We have a man in this city who has this secret down to a scratch, and that man is George Clark. He is with E. B. Bartlett again, nod when you want your horse shod George will do it for you. Not the Man. A few weeks ago we copied an item from the New North-West, to the effect that one \ Curly\ Brown had stabbed a man in Deer Lodge City, for which offense the said Brown was under arrest and in \durance vile,\ awaiting an investigation of the whys and wherefores. Mr. Brown, the veritable \Curly gave us a call yesterday and requested us to contradict the report, and request the North-West to do likewise, which same we do with pleasure. Brown says he never cut any men, neither was he ever confined in the Deer Lodge jail or any other jail for a like or any other offense. Brundage, tinkerer of guns, can fix up double-barreled shot -guns so you can hit lots of ducks at a clatter. He takes the kick out of the end of the stock and greases the inside of the barrel in a way to prevent scattering. Show him your gun it' it is out of order, and you want to kill game dead. Hon. Ben Eeekiel will please accept our thanks for furnishing us with a report of the testimony in the Dumpily -Ford case. There has been a large number of peo- ple in town during the week, and judging from the rush at the Clasbey House, our hotel people have had all they wanted to do. There has been a perfect throng of guests at the Clasbey all week. The Cap- tain's friends will hunt him up when they come to town. S.. Pursell came down from yesterday.

We devote considerable space to a report of the Dumpily murder case, as it has been creating considerable excitement. Much interests has been manifested and the case has occupied the time of the District Court most of the week—having been ably con- ducted on behalf of the people by District Attorney Vivion and Warren Toole. On the part of the defense Messrs. Word,Chad- wick and Turner were arrayed and fought the case with an ability that may be summed up in three words—Dumphy is free. The legal eloquence expended by the counsel en- gaged is highly spoken of, and their agu- mentative addresses to the jury were of a character calculated to build up reputations for legal knowledge—which all lawyers do covet. We are unable to publish Judge Semis' able and exhaustive charge to the jury in this case, but will print it in our next paper, as it will be read with interest. Crooked Testimony. \ It is human to err,\ and of this tact we have been often fully convinced. A couple of weeks ago we incidentally mentioned in the columns of the Mentsomes, that the wood -pile of John Thomas had repeat- edly been subjected to a \ jay -hawking\ diminution. at the hands of one Crockett: The next week Crockett demanded an ex- planation to the effect that it was not he ' who appropriated Thomas' wood, but that Roy Southmayde was the depredator. Now comes Southmayde. in company with the G1E(1). 1-I. Cl 4AI.I , first accused—Crockett—who both aver that John Thomas used the wood referred to for the purpose of thawing his whisky, having done so while under the influence of an article known in the neighborhood as Wallace Street, Virginia Olty Montana. \circle A.\ Question.—Will spirits that will congeal at a temperature of 25 below make. drunk come?
