Mining operations -in Alder Gulch are progressing with unusual vigor. • Up to the present time•there has . been a good supply of water aud the various v bed-rock fiuming companies have been running constantly day and night. The indicatious are that they will make _better clean-ups than they have made tor keveralyears past. The drift- ing and stripping claims, ItS far .as we can learn, are paying well and employing large numbers of hands. Something New. We call the attention of our readers to the double -column advertisement, in this issue, of Mr. Wm. S. Ketcham, who has opened a new harness and saddle shop one door below the MADWOMAN office. Mr. Ketcham has a fine assortment of goods and he is selling them right down to bot- tom figures. Drop in and see him. Perftossakis. Dr.H.Smallhouse. of the Rising Sun Lode, dropped in to see us during the week. He expresses himself satisfied with the quartz prospect of his locality, and ti confident feel- ing that when suitable machinery tor hoist- ing and the reduction of the quartz of the Rising Sun has been put up, the company owning it will reali7e handsomely trom it. The Rising Sun. we look upon as among the best gold-bet:ring quartz lodes in the Territory. We have watclied its develop- ment almost how the day 01 its discovery up to the present, and the result to e% ery ciushing oi rock mow it has rclitivu liSC opinion so frequently expressed by Prof. ard that, \ it was the most reliable lode in HOE Spring District.\ The arrivals by coach yesterday morn- ing were Messrs. Ad. Kohn and M. B. Ed- nger. and Mrs. Cuckrill, Corinne ; Mrs. Thompson, of Beaverhead. Mr. Kohn was for a long time _engaged in business in this city, and spent many days among the boulders of Alder Creek in the rough-and-tumble time of '64-5. There was a general hand -shaking when Ad. gut off the coach. J. D. Heald, who has been with E.J.Wal- t.ey for the past year, left by Tuesday's soas.h for his old home iu New Hampshire, to visit his aged father, of whose serious ve learned but the day betbre. The iength of his absence will be governed by eirt-umstanees. Mr. Heald has many warm inends in this city who will miss his genial society during his absence, and will bah his return. We do not know of a man who has more or is more deserving friends than he. Bon royuyv. GOODS VIA M U.WLEAHELL ROUTE I. Strasburger has just received at his store, in Virginia City. a new and complete stock of Dry Goods, of the very latest styles and designs, from New York City, which he will sell to all buyers at the low- est possible prices, asking only a amall prof- it. This line assortment of goods was bought in New York expressly for this trade, by an experienced buyer.who knows where to buy the best and cheapest, he making a specialty of the business. Mr. Strasbarger's freight is much less than that of any other dealer in the city ; his goods have cost him leas from first hands. and he can and will sell them at a smaller profit than any other Louse in town. He has also added a new feature to his business in the way of Clothing and Gems' Furnishing Goods. 116 stock in this line is complete and selected by one of the best buyers in New York City. The styles are of the very latest, and as he deigns selling only for cash in this depart- ment, he win be esti:tiod with small prof- aud cash buyers will find it a decided advantage to examine his stock before mak- ing purchases. 145-1t. Exactly at alio time in the year it is pain- fully alarming to discover the number of very pour men there are in the community. The Assessor knows better than anybody else how extremely poor are those esteem- ed to be rich or in easy circumstances. It's only when it doesn't cost taxes that men want to be counted wealthy. Rev. Mr. Riggm has been prostrated with a severe attack of diptheria. He was in- disposed on Monday ‘vhen he performed the ceremony of baptising several new converts, and the going into cold wa ter and remaining tor some time protein's , accelera- ted the disease while in us incipiency. lie is convalescent, and his speedy recovery is expected. Tins will account tor the non- fulfillment of his regular appointments. C. W. Turner, Esq.. has removed his law office to the Yostottice Buialin—up stairs. People who are tearless enuitga to eugaae in the uncenaiuties of the law in order to right their wrougs, will consult him in his new quarters. as he is a lawyer who has perpetrat.ed nis maiden citation years ago. \Long John tt - hisky\ is the kind just re- ceived by Carey & O'Brien at .Adobetown. It is said Lo be an article free of poison, and a man may drink temperate draughts tor a life -Lime without the tear of tremens. Male men who drink this whisky as a tonic are not compelled to \camp \ alter a single drink. If you indulge, try some. The suicitling mania clings to Helenaites like the Michigan seven -year -itch. IV e have recorded many self -murders and attempts at selfalestruction that are daily occurring in the \metropolis.\ A duty we owe to the Christian world compels US to do it again. Now we chronicle the deliberate attempt of another crazed Helenaite named McCready who attempted to . \ pass in his cheeks\ by the aid of a sharp butcher -knife. As an attempt at suicide McCready was a success --for he succeeded in cutting an ugly gash in his throat. As time approaches tor vot- ing OH the Capital Question, we will be com- pelled to devote a column -department in the MADISONIAN to Helena murders, suicides and destructions—tor Colonel ‘Vooliolk says that Helena folks are selfish and filled with damnable abominations, and the Colouel is credible authority, for he has been a dwel- ler in that community where every ene:•gy is bent for the accomptishment of local ag- grandizement. It is an outrage—but it is so. DP. The Ball at Gaffney's. The ball on the evening of the 3d, got- ten up under the auspices ot Gatfuey Lodge of 1. O. of G. T., was a grand sue- ceas in every particular. There were about sixty ladies present and a greater number of gentlemen, who put in the night in \ tripping the light fantastic\ and only let up \ when daylight did appear.\ Good music was in attendance. and a splendid supper served by ..Mrs. Morier. Dr. I,. W. Frary, as per announcement, offered a lot of fine stock for sale at auction in this city on the 1st inst. The prices re- alized for those sold were not sufficient to justify continuance of the sale after the first day. There were tine animals in the lot. The Dr. returned to Helena during the week. Mr. A. J. Bennett requests us to state that he will not be a candidate for Super- intendent of Common Sehoole at the du - glint e4Setactiti• - :•' Bizhop Tuttle at Saint Paul's Epis- copal Church on Loot SnnelAy. The order of services at St. Paul's Epis- . eopal Church, on- last Sabbath, were of an unusually int'eresting . and impressive char- acter. lioth in- the Morning and evening the Church was packed to ON ertlowing with eager and attentive congregations, who. were ex peering -a- feast of religious reason- ing and eloquent exhortation that is allotted to our people but once a year. Bishop. Tuttle was announced to _preach: The es- tablished reputation.of Bishop Tuttle, as the ablest divine in the Rocky Mountain .coun- try, draws the people out to listen to him— and they are always benefitted by hearing an effective and masterly discussion of relig- ious topics when the Bishop visits us. The morning service was that laid down in the rites and ceremonies of the Protest- ant Episcopal Church as adapted to and pre- ceding the admiuistration of confirmation or laying on of hands upon those %Liu are received into tull church-fellowship,and the sermon ot the Bishop was suited to the oc- casion, and was one of power and forcible illustration. We have not space for a synop- sis of the discourse, which pictured the led religious feeling ot man as being good, but better, by far. is that religious teeling that conies to us without being led—tor it is a moving of the spirit in winch we become specially blest. Many will remember the sermon, for it was one replete with good arguments and happy illustrations. After the mom mug service the Bishop pro- ceeded to confirm and receive in tue cOurch nine additional members. As they\ knelt around the altar to receive the blessing' 01 confirmation, the) acknowledged belore the world a resigned and submissive willing- ness to adhere to the teachings of our beau- tiful Christian religion, the solacing com- forts of which only the believers in Jesus Christ do fully feel and appreciate. Bishop Tuttle was assisted both at the morning and evening service by the Rector, Rev. Mr. Trout. Sunday evening the con- gregation was very large, and the Church was tilled to its Ut1110St capacity. The Bish- op's sermon was one ot his best—clear, con- % hieing and eloquent. A noticeable feature in the decorations of the altar were a num- ber ot large and tastefully -arranged boquets of beautiful flowers, furnished by Mrs. Far- well and Mr. Corbett. More Coach Robberies. On Thursday night. July 2, Gilmer & Salisbury's coaches were robbed at the crossing of Big Dog Creek, twenty-five miles south of Pleasant Valley, at 11:30 p.m. by four masked men with shot guns. The down coach was stopped first anti passen- g:er named Jones was robbed of i165—$5 of which they had the generosity to return to him. The up -bound coach came along with Y. C. Jackson the mail contractor, and \ Josh \ Billings, of Bannack, was compet- ed to give up ill300 in greenbacks. \ Josh\ was returning from a visit to the States. On recognizing Jackson, they returned all they had taken from him. The treasure - boxes ot Wells. Fargo & Co., were broken open and everything 01 value taken out. No messenger was on either of the coaches, and their was no treasure in the boxes. We are iutoilued that the amount of valua- bles and money that the robbers got away with will be between '4500 and $1000. '1w BA,NNAGu BIC E VI TIES. on the 3d The Democratic Conventrem of Beaver- head County met in Peck's Ila;. 1 . and nominated a full ticket, which will be tbund in another . column. Carhart & Co. cleaned up, last week, as tho ro:ult ot st tun day.7 run in tlir,ir nrf rock from Daeota No. 7, one hundred and forty-six ounces ot fine gold retort, worth about $19 per ounce in currency. An arrest has been made of a man. on the complaint of a married woman,who charges him with having committed a rape upon her. The man will have a preliminary ex- amination before the Probate Judge. We suppress names until the matter is legally iuveatigated—anti besides the woman's affi- davit is a little queer, as it alleges the com- mission of several rapes at different times. Tilton, at the postodiee corner, has just received a large assortment of Wall Paper of new designs and qualities. Also a geu- eral assortment of stationery and notions ut every description. 116 stock is now SO full that anything in his line is ou hand, and the public are invited to make an examination. A large crowd went out to the Stinking - water Canyon District on lust Monday. us it was claim -representation day iu that dis- trict. The day was decidedly hot, and Much whisky was taken out by the crowd to pre- vent sun -strokes and cure rattlesnake bites: Considerable excitement over the seported prospects obtained in the discovery hole was partially allayed by frequent imbibi- Lions of rectified corn juice. Whether they have paying diggings can not be determined until more prospecting is done. Thus far about sixty claims have been recorded, and many believe that rich diggings will be opened in the bed ot the Stinkingwater. Parties just returned from the new Jef- ferson River mines are tilled with the firm conviction that the diggings arc rich. Sixty cents to a dollar to the pan is readily obtain- ed where the ground is opened. The water in the Jefferson is rapidly subsiding, and it will soon be low enough to successfully commence the opening up of many claims. The place par excellence in this city to obtain and enjoy a good meal of well -cooked food is the Chicago House, tor the best and purest the market affords is served up there. Its culinary department is under the superintendence of one of the most skillful and experienced cooks in Montana, and the price for single meals and beds is reduced to fifty cents each. If you want to be fed properly stop at the Chicago House. On last Monday, at half -past ten_o'clock, at Romey's Pond, in Daylight Gulch, ltev. Mr. Riggin performed the religious ceremo- ny ot baptism by immersion on seven mem- bers of his church. in accordance with the discipline ot the Methodist Church. The members of the M. E. Church participated tu singing appropriate hymns. and a large crowd of people congregated to witness the immersion in the \name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.\ Fresh. running spring water is an invigorating fluid to be cover- ed with in a hot day, but all those who were put under stood it without much shudder- ing. The ceremony was well conducted and the immersed all seemed happy after tbe baptism. • An addition to the popularity of the Cias- bey House is to be found in the announce- ment that lce Cream will be served at that hotel on Thursday and Sunday evenings. People who are fond of swallowing the frost-bitten skimmings of sweet milk wil rally at the Clasbey House on the evenings indicated, where an opportunity of enjoying the luxury will be afforded them.

Boseman Speech. On the 30th of June, Major John P. Bruce of Bozeman, addressed his fellow-eitizena of that town on the political topics of the day. more particularly 'in relation - to the 'coming 'Congressional contest. A' largeaud-• ience of ladies and gentlemen were present avid file Bozeman band enlivened the occa- sion with music. The Majorbegan his speech . by saying. that he had been - frequently men- tioned as a popular candidate for Delegate to Congress, but assured his hearers that whether .he would be Altogether depended upon the action of the .Republican party. The Major said that if the Republican party put a candidate in the field he.. as . an inde- pendent man, would not allew .. himself to be mashed between the Democratic and Re- publican organizations. Ile referred. with evident pride, to his political record in the legislature of Kentucky, and to the fact that' he had once stood for Congress in Missouri. I and received a minority of the votes cast, but was defeated by his opponent contest- ing the election. He said his experience was large and that he believed he could sat- isfactorily represent Montana in Congress. The Major's eddress was attentively listen- ed to throughout and often applauded. He concluded by saying that if the electors of Montana wanted a no -party man for Dele- gate to Congress he was their man. New Postoffices Established in Mon- tana and Changes Made. Postmaster General Cresswell. on the 22d of June. established the following Post-._ offices, in this Territory.and appointed their postmasters: Dry Creek, G3iliitin C0111,4, MOS. B. Mulvaney; Burnt Pine, Beaver- head County. Daniel R. Parker; Carroll. Dawson County, George Clendenin, jr. Thos. Grey has been appointed postmaster of French B r, Lewis anti Clarke County.' in place of John II. B. Foster, resigned. On the 15th ult. Anderson linker was ap- pointed postmaster of Etna. in Missoula County, in place of C. II. Flanagan. The Reformers\ Meeting. The meeting of Helena \ Reformers\ on the Fourth of July was generally attended by the those who had their curiosity excit- ed. Stump speeehes were let off by Col. 1Voolfolk. Rev. Shippen and Sample Orr. Woolfolk made the \ big\ talk on the sub- ject of reform in politics and dragged in as side -issues temperance and religion. to give his remarks a decent and delightful tone. The programme of the \Reformers as enunciated by their spokesmen, is to make a ticket chosen from the Democratic and Republican nominees. There seemed to be a leaning toward Major Maginnis for Con- gress. Whether the movement will end in windy talk, remains to be seen. So far as the accomplishment of practical results are concerned it might as well. Reception of Delegate Maginnis at Helena. The reception that Delegate Maginnis re- ceived on his arrival at Helena was quite an ovation. A large concourse of Democra- . tic friends ar d citizens generally proceeded out to intercept the coach and escort the Major to town. The procession, headed by the Helen t Silver Cornet Band, discoursing splendid music, entered Helena as a moun- tain howitzer boomed forth a salute of wet- s come. Main Street was crowded as the pro- cession passed along to Grand, and on it) Court -House Square. where Major Magin- nis delivered a short address. The Major feelingly acknowledged the honor shown him by his fellow -citizens. and complimen- ted them for the enterprise shown in re- building the aarnt places of the town, and expressed great satisiaction at being again among old friends and neighbors. The Comet. A comet of the short -tailed species has been visible for some nights past. It is los cated under the Polar Star, and within the pointing of the L'ipper proper. Consulting the patent medici.ne almanacs does not afford much informat:on about this short - tailed luminary—nor do:a Webster's die- tionary define what it is. It is growing nightly and is becoming conspicuous in proportions. Authority says that it will continue to become more brilliant ond that about the time we are called upon to vote on the Capital question the fiery tail of this comet will strike Helena with such force as to wipe that town out. We are afraid of it. The town ot Helena presents such an invit- ing object to the fiery element 'that this comet is bound to visit it. Would it not be well for the people to leave the fire -doomed metropolis ere they are destroyed. If the citizens of that town value a long residence on earth, they had better desert the town —for the comet is coming. By the wag of the comet's tail it is quite sure that the bal- ance of Montaaa Territory will escape. The Pioneer Company. of Pioneer clean- ed up $3,300 last Monday .. .1Iarry .1.

July 4. Sioux Raid on the Crow Agency. From Mr. 0. W. ()dell. who %vas over on the Yellowstone at the time, we learn that Monday morning about day -light eight le- diaos made their appearance near Bensou's place. and run off six horses belonging 10 various parties. They fired six shots at Geo. Town. a herder. none of which, how- ever, took effect. About 10 o'clock a cour- ier arrived at Benson's from the Crow Agen- cy, bring the intelligence that about 100 Sioux had come to the Agency and made signs for the occupants to come out and fight them. Tie y did not succeed in get- ting away with anything from the Agency. It was impossible to e Ornate the number of Indians in the vicinity. They could be seen all day in the canyons. It would be well tor the people of this valley to be on their guard and anticipate any raid that may be contemplated by the Indians. The leading pass into the valley is well guarded by troops from Fort Ellis, and our people will be notified of any such design, but it is good policy to be always prepared. 'l'he expedition of Gen. Custer to the Black Hills will undoubtedly force the Indians this way, and the military force at Fort Ellis should be increased so as to meet any emer- gency that may occur.—Bozeman Courier, July 3.

It exploded, tearing the flesh from his thumb and linger 'bolding it to the bone, and inflicting a se- vere wound. The road leading to the National Park via the 'Mammoth Hot Springs has been placed in good condition. The worst place on the road, at Point of Rocks, has been improved so as to make it passably safe for wagons. A stampede to the Missouri River, below the Canyon at Three Forks and the mouth of Crow Creek, is now going on. Four to ten cents to the pan has been obtained in loose river bed gravel, it is said, and the whole country in that vicinity is staked. For the accommodation of Montana mer- chants Fred J. Keisel & Co., in connection with citizens of Corinne, are erecting a coin - 'nocuous warehouse building in that town. A large amount of bacon, fiour, wheat, etc...is being shipped from Missoula County to Deer Lodge and Helena.

Little Pipestone, Craig, Baxter & Tat are working ten men, stripping ten feet, sluicing five feet and getting $40 a day to the hand. A 13 oz. nugget was picked isp a few daYs since. Mining matters around Philipsburg look more favorable for the vigorous prosecution of work on the different lodes than tor some time past.

The Celebrated \O. K.\ Hai! our - wagoia *hen yon Winfthe beit e • rouskii3O itaA.016 • Tbe \Fourth.\ The Fourth of July was ushered -in this city by the firing ot guns, ringing of bells, and the blowing of the_Montanian'a steam whistle ; other than this recognition, and the customary sunset &elute and a grand display of fire -works at night., there was no further observance of the day within the city limits, our _people chosing, rather than remain in town during the day, to attend, as best suited their convenience and inclination, some one of several pie - Digs which.were held in different localities, the most preteptious of which seemed to be the one on Wisconsin Creek about four miles below Sheridan, gotten up by the citizens of that neighborhood. The attend- ance was large, and exercises varied and interesting. The grounds selected for the occasion are the best foe like gatherings that we know of, being shaded with mon- arch cottonwoods, and carpeted with mitt , ted grass. swept as clean as a floor, with Wisconsin Creek skirting one side Early in the morning a detached frag- ment of the village blacksmith shop com- menced and continued during the gather- ing together of the throng, to belch forth deafening salutes. The regular exercises were opened with an appropriate song by an impromptu glee club. followed by a prayer by Rev. Mr. Riggin. The declaration of Independence was read in good style by WEliam Means. and an oration by 0. F. Panneter, is high- ly spoken of by those who heard it. At the close of the oration. Rev. Riggin made a short. pertinent address. After the read- ing and each address suitable songs were sung, Mrs. Beardsley and Miss Julie Illthey alternately presiding at the organ. The music, both vocal and instrurueutal, Was excellent. The knights of the ball and bat were out in force, and in a spirited game of base ball gave it creditable exhibition of skill in bat- ting and fielding. Soon after noon the dinner call was sound- ed, and then there was \ hurrying to and fro,\ every wheeled vehicle in the vi- cinity, was visited in hot haste, and each yielded up its basket of good things, which were quickly transferred to tables prepar- ed for their reception and tastily arranged by a special committee. consisting ot Mrs. Bitney, Mrs. Parmeter. and Miss Julia Bit- ney, and Messrs. Parmeter, Noble, and Bitney, assisted by a number of others. Such a profusion of edibles is seldom wit- nessed. We won't attempt a catalogue, but roast chickens, pigs, venison, buffalo hump, etc., were in abundance, and deli- cacies without limit. Two hundred hun- gry souls were fed there that day, and when they had all partook to their appe- tites' content. there were of the frag- ments many baskets yet remaining un- touched It was a galla day, one that will long be remembered by those who attend- ed the celebration at Wisconsin. The citizens of Madison valley had a social hop on the evening of 3d, and a pic- nic on the Fourth. As we had no reporter present we are unable to give an extended notice of the exercises. We understand, however, that all passed off pleasantly. About seventy-five person from the city and upper Alder gulch enjoyed a pleasant pie-nic at the mouth of Butcher gulch. The day was spent in climbing the adjacent mountains and in pleasant chat. A sump- tuous basket dinner, gotten up principally by Misses Annie Griffith and Lizzie Jones assisted by a number of other ladies who reside up the gulch, and to which all the participants were contributors, was par- taken of. It was an enjoyable occasion. By sunset most of those who had gone to the couutry welt: back in the city, and the streets, which had been comparatively deserted,were again thronged with people. The day passed off quietly, not a drunk- en man was to be seen on our streets. LETTER FROM FISH CREEK. Fist' CREEK, July, ith, 1874. Editor Madieonian: Believing you to have no regular cor- respondent at this place, anti knowing you wish to be kept informed in regard to what is going on in the outside world, I will submit these few notes in reward to the doings at Fish Creek, on the Fourth, and the manner in which the people showed their patriotism. TheAseople of this place ignoring dances, resolved to have a Sunday School Pic-nic, and for tita - t. purpose appointed the proper com- mittee to take the matter in hand, and make all necessary arrangements which they did in a very able manner, erecting seats, tables, and swings. The pie-nic grounds were beautifully located hi the mountains about ten miles from this place, in a very fine grove of large pines, with every convenience for holding a pie-nic. The ladies prepared a very fine dinner, while the single gentle- men furnished the canned fruits, lemon- aule and candy. justice was done to the viands, everybody showing their ap- preciation of the good things by hearti- ly partaking- of the same. Singing, Wing- nig, \talking together in couples and groups\ and enjoying themselves as beet suited their tastes, was the order of the day. Before adjourning. we had the pleasure of listening to a short, but a very able speech from the Rev. W. W. Van Orsdel. 118 persons by actual count, were present (luring the day, every one seemed to enjoy themselves, and all agreed in pronouncing it thebest they had ever attended in the Mountains, and thus the people of Fish Creek had a day of enjoying, and also showed to the world that their regard for the Nation's Birthday was not dead. • Crops in this vicinity are looking very Uell, the grasshoppers have done but very little damage. Yesterday, (6th) they commenced flying, aud our only wish now is that they will tiv so far that they will never get hack. Mining on Pipestone is beginning to weaken. D. J. Stanard, has discharged his men, and is finishing up his season's work by himself. and the general opinion is that he has made plenty of money this season. Tutt, Braxter, and Craig, are still at work with a large force . of men, stnpping and shoveling in. The Jami- son Bro.'s with W. P. Mock, aud S. J. Leonard. are trying to find bed -rock in the Little Pipestoue, near the Bar, the boys are having slow work of it, they have had to go back once, enlarge their shaft, put in a large wheel, and pump, and lower their drain ; but they are good grit, and now .they have got to work again and will soon know what they have got in their ground. Polities are but little discussed. -I am of the opinion that most of the - peOple about here are in favor of Virginia City retaining the Capital, and at Jefferson Bridge they are unanimously of that way of thinking. FISH CREEK. I A Move by the Citisens of Madison Valley t• Solid a Bridge Over the Madison River. Below we glve the proceedings .of a meet- ing of the eitizens of Madison Valley. held at the East -side School House, on July 4th, 1874, for the purpose of raising money' to build a bridge over the Madisou River. 'Me proposed improvement is one inucii neededas a matter of convenience and safety to the lives and property of persons oblig- ed to cross that stream during its high- water stages. A committee has been itp. pointed to wait on the citizens of this city and solicit aid. Thcimportance and bene-. fits to be derived irom the projected en- terprise are so -- appiirent that all will, or should, at once give it such material en- cotiragement as their circumstances will admit of. Tbe meeting was organized by electing William Mitchel chairman and 0. G. Smith secretary The object of the meeting was stated to be to raise funds for the purpose of building a bridge over th aladisen River. On motion William Mitchel, Martin Peel. and George W. 1Vatkins were appointed a committee to solicit subscriptions, and Ray Woodworth was appointed treasurer. Subscription hooks were opened, and the sum of $1.155 subseribed. The secretary was instructed to furnish the MADWOMAN and Montanian with cop- ies of these proceedings lor publication.

We regret to be called upon to chronicle the drowning of a little two year -old daught- er of Mr. James Gemmel', of Sheridan, on Thursday evening last. She had not been missed from the house. and none knew of the drowning until member of the family went to an irrigating ditch which passed near the door to get a pail of water, and discovered the body of the little one lying at tne bottom of the ditch, cold in death's embrace. Clothing for the Million. Armstrong & Johnson have been get- ting in during the week clothing, and everything in their line, to the extent that their store and warehouses are (Tamed from bottom to top. They have also received an extensive stock of piece domestics, carpets, and such like goods. Go in and see them. They say they can't be undersold, and warrant all goods to be the best quality. One hundred people were feed at the Minnesota House between the morning of the third and the evening of the fourth. Mark Post. Ed. Coveiy and Geo. Lew - man, got in from the Jefferson mines last evening. They are all old miners, and their eyes bug out like pilgrims when they talk to you about getting fifty cents to one dollar to the pan. French & Thomas have just received a fine assortment of staple and fancy grocer- ies. including extra brands of Whiskies, Wines. Tobaccos, and Cigars, also a large lot ot Queensware. Read their advertise- ment in this paper. A guild or Woman's Dress Association has been formed in England. Many of the black bonnets are composed altogether of bugle Brussels and French lace.
