Alex. -I. H1 tt 11 i._. "II. Editcs. i-'rr Saturday s Daily. ''IIA.\sNKs.lVINi. DAY.-This day was tery generally observed by our citizens. A large number of the buslneas houses were jiosed. Most every one took some care in the matter of dress, and more black coats, plug hats and canes were sported than we have seen before this year, and the lavish dis play of Mason': Poli.-h was as great as the ev' idences of a generous use of soap, water and hair oil was unmistakeable. In the morning services were held in the M. E. Church, and the large gathering which assembled listencd with evident satisfaction, and we trust much profit, to an eloquent -ermon by Rev. Mr. Comfort, the pastor. In the afternoon sev eral dinner pasi tles gathered around the social board the wit, youth and beauty of the me tropolis. The day taken alltogether was spent in a Chri-tian and refined manner, that would have done credit to the Pilgrim Fath ers themselves. THE IHELENA IiitRAItY 1AS$N IATION. -The third meeting of the association was ield last night at the Whltlach building. The committee to solicit subscriptions re ported progress and was given further time in which tu, complete its duties. The pro gress reported by the committee was in every way satisfactory and gives an as.uraune that the association will be able to procure a li brary creditable to the association and the city. The room committee reported that it had not been able to pror.ire suitable rooms, whereupon the committees report was re ceived, it discharged, and the rear room of the Whitlach building, formerly the press room of the Helena lierald, was secured for the use of the association. A committee of four, consisting of Messrs. Hedges, Simonton, Douglas and Osborne, was appointed to prepare the rooms for the use of the association. The dispatch of Mr. Thomas E. Tutt, do nating $CO0, was real. The first regular annual meeting of the Association will be held at its rooms on Sat urday, Dec. 5th, 18GS. at 7j oclock p. m., at which meeting its officers acid trustees will ire elected. The meeting adjourned to Wednesday eve iing, Dec. 2, at 7j o'clock. C. HEDnos, President. W. F. SANsaRs, Secretary. ('11t .MASEltO & CIIADWJ(sK.-.e give to the public this morning the card of a new Law Firm, which we take pleasure in saying forms a combination of legal lore, ability, and skill rarely excelled even in the Eastern States. Mr. Chumasero won a reputation not only in Montana, but in the metropolis of New York State, that should satisfy the !uost ambitions for legal fame. Mr. Chad wick finished his legal instruction in the office of the Attorney General of New York State, and for a long season performed all the intricate duties of that responsible position. Ever since becoming a citisen of Montana he has stood among the first at the Bar, and we are not disparaging when we say he is one of the first lawyers in this Territory. This irm have the be-t law library perhaps in the West, and it is a law irm of which Montana may justly feel proud. SINGING SCiJOoL..-The first session of Jessee Armitage's singing school, which took place last evening, was, in every re spect, far more satisfactory than was anticc pated. The attendance war large, and thee present manifested that deep inteLst is the subject which is a sure indication of success. This is certainly a rare opportunity to ac quire a knowledge of the science of music .mnd a perfection in the art of melody that should not be lost. The class which is al ready formed meets every Friday evensag in the basement of the Meshodist Episcopal Church. The children's class meets every Saturday afternoom at two o'clock. A suf Icieut nmmber have idicated their intention to become members of this clam to insure its .uccess. (i s Worxs.-The new gas works of Msss. Mather A (~otkw, is the rert of the OccidentSa, are almest coplae ad, after a thkrosg ~m tioL ef them we are eee Mdent that there s s pwiil t of further k.. Messa. NM er & O k*er e vite all who usee lneer i to n and eI m isn them for remsgnive MATCaHa.-Considerable stir was made' yesterday in this article, miles being made as high as $.4.00 per grose. Hal3 a dosen el. grams were immediately seat to Salt Lake, or dering shipments of matches by coach, our merchants this year being determined not to pay the exorbitant prices so often reached by this insigniScant but very necessary article. A comparison of prices during the years 1863-4-5-4 show an average price reached do ring t~-~ winters of $58.00 per gross. It is another evidence of the great benet to be derived from the railroad that when, as in the present season, matches are controlled by one or two parties at a speculation, that by means of the telegram and coach the exorbi tant figures of former years cannot prevail FOR THE STATEs.-Sunday morning, C. S. Hursh, E&q., of the firm of Walcott A Hursh, leaves for the States, to be gone du ring the winter months and return in the spring. Mr. Hursh, who is a pioneer in Mon tana, has won a high reputation for rare business qualifications, which is indicated by his success. He is a universal favorite and posse,-es those qualities in an eminent de gree which so truly enables a man to be a good citizen and a credit to Montana-ener gy, ~hrewdness and honesty. We hope to wel come his coming before the first boat. PEI.aoNAL.-- %e have pleasure in nor ting the presence in Helena and our sanctum of Gen. Lester S. Wilson and Mr. Rich, both of the flourishing village of Bozeman, in the Garden Valley. The General looks vigorous; we wi-h he weighed a ton. Five thousand good Republicans look to him and Mr. Geo. W. \Wentworth, of Missoula, for valiant ser vice in the Fifth Legislative Assmbly of Montana, and believe their faith well founded. Alcr\.lI.s.-The coach of yesterday brought to our city Thos. Hoopes, Win. Morris and P. A. Largley, Esqc . all; three most worthy burghers of. the ancient capital, who journey into foreign lands to gather tales of gold and beauty with which to be wilder the rustic youths and maidens at Vir ginia's fire-sides. TER:I.ING. -Frol1 Mr. Ilyde, we learn that Sterling is improving wonderfully in prospects. Capt. Maltby is running the the quartz mill belonging to the N. Y. & M. M. D. Co. mill steady, with very satisfac tory results. Other mining operations are in contemplation and are being undertaken, which will materially add to the prosperity of this dietrict. Liq.oIl SEIZZRE.-A detachmnent of the 13th, from Fort Shaw, under command of Capt. Pratt, on last Sunday, seized all the spirituous liquors in possession of the mer chants at Fort Benton, and will take it in charge. This was, of course, in pursuance of orders, but from where or whom we are not advised. SOtRR)OFUi A('CIDENT.--()n last Wednesday, in Fenian Gulch, while running a drift, the earth fell, entombing Mr. Thomas Corone, who was alntost fatally injured. We are pleased to learn that some hopes are entertained of his recovery. FROM FORT ELI.IS.-We were pleased to meet Major Hanna and Lieutenant Town sendi, of the 13th, who arrived Thursday night from Fort Ellis. The Major remains he'e: the Lieutenant goes to Fort Shaw, his head quarters. From the Daily of M.,oday (iltAND FAREWELL PRIESENTATION A~oD BaaqarT.-There is no portion of "God's Green Earth" where true merit and those fin er qualities which distinguish to a certain extent man from the brute creation, are as properly appreciated and highly rewarded as in Helena. It is one of the most beautiful customs of our people to testify that regard by proper testimonials as will best typify these attributes, the possession of which exe cites admiration. It was in pursuance of this delightful usage that a large and highly intelligent gathering met at the sales rooms of C. S. Hursh, E.q., of the firm of Walcott & Hursh last Sateuday evening, just prior to his final departure to the States, for the pur pzse of presenting to him a testimonial of their regard and appreciation. The assembly comprised the commercial monarchs of Hele na,guests from our sister cities, representatives of the Materia Medica,Bar,Pres and other pro fessions, as select, honorable and honest. After the room had been brilliantly illumin. ated by a lavish display and consumption of candles and matches, the thrilling ceremonies of the evening were introduced by Mr. Ben. Stickney being conducted to the platform, constructed of empty candle boxes, and in a thrilling, eloquent and touching manner, ex-1 pressed the sentiments of that interesting col lection of friends as follows. "Mr. Hursh, unaccustomed to public speaking, as you will notice, and everely laboring under a mighty big bad cold, I cannot embrace the present opportunity, without returning thanks to the pubUc for the liberal patronage bestowed up on me since coming amongst you. and trust that so lucrative a busines will be continued in the future. My friend before me, Mr. lrshb, is known to you all as a most liberal cous (load and continued applause.) A man gentlemen, that gentlemen, has done more to improve the condition of our side walks and carrying greenbacks to the First National Bank, than any merchant in Heleas. Gentle men, I ask you, would be whom we have met to honor, oppreem a poor sick woman with her olfpriag. in her arms, attacked with the measle? Would he, I ask, throttle the invsi ble point of ivisbility sand segrogat. it! Would be try to corral an atom lastie in the etherial realm of spae antd sl it for asaed fruit? (Never.) Who, amongst as, Would for a moment think be would sell the whittled aend of nothing for AliM Beas, (Oh no?) Do er believe he wMld sell blYak mad for BAiwle Isln .ugar, depe.r of dead SG for osay seeI Pauh the thought, nd may the wile traduce of the spoas.L fame of as megmamioms a citaea sk toe the pemreas eof bMies, and has nsame deed to peaeer asa uaster to aU that is esmebisg in asaee ad rt. Mr. okd shim sha ument is beheaf at this ga.bes of yewf pien tUes, who e* *t*he wth -m year Asst bs ths *u1heq ad dl to sir yeu a t gh mmalet fleirs ys * aro, endowed with those rare qualities so ne c..ery to a mere.ant iSa Motama-.obd.ty, shrewmeln, enegy, hoesety and meemaem, I presentyou with this jck-knalfe. Pleae ao cept it - an evidence of oar regard sad hr its intrisic value. [ramulteom applause, during which the knife was pased to the far ored one.] Mr. Harsh, imitating most suc cessfully the ecoentricities of the chameleon, which changes its spots eight times per se* ond, aid : "Mr. Stickney and gentlemen, I am like Grant, I don't speak, but only take Ithings. 1 appreciate this magailceot gift; I have labored hard to gain my present high reputation, and shall strive earnestly to sus tain it. I thank you, gentlemen, for this present, sand I shall ever cherish it, and when I am "canned" I will transmit it to my poster ity as a memento of their darling papa." [Emotional sighs and sobs and the splashing of tears on the Boor.] The jack-knife, which was about eighteen inches long, was a splendid epecimen of catlery, the handle being maJe of native mahogony, ricbhy mounted with gilt-beeded nail, extracted from Hurshs' trunk. The blade being of delicately tempered hoop-iron, was susceptible of a high polish. On one side was inscribed, "To C. S. HIrsh, Esq.; on the reverse, "To the Meanest Man in Montana," and the family seal of the Hu~shs', "I X L " It reflected great credit, not only on the skill displayed by the arti ficer but on the generosity that prompted such a munificent gift. At the same tame an ele gantly worked brass collar was handed to Mr. Hursh, to be presented to E. B. Ebert, now in St. Louis, on which was engraved, "To the Meanest Man out of Montana." The exhu berant emotions of the friends of the drift ing darling were now "soothed," not by sweet worc's, but with golden nectar distilled under sunny skies on vine-clad slopes by beauty's hands-(it was wine.) Mr. Hrehb. with that sumptuous hospitality which he extends even to his best friends, and which has well nigh wrecked his once princely fortune, set out for the company a splendid lunch, consisting of fifteen kegs of pickled herrings, upon which had accumulated the age of some four sum mere, the saltness of which rivalled Lot's wife, and rich in the perfume of an unhealthy egg. This lavish display produced a profound sensation, and later in the evening, the de licious viands were discussed. Mr. Plant pro posed the health of the host, to which Mr Harsh responded by again urging the boy. not to stand so far back, but to come up, and have some lunch. A sentiment to theb press was responded to by the representative of Ronan proclivities, who proposed to take another herring, which he did and subsided by Mr. S. M. Hall, whose health was then drank as the "self-riser." Mr. Hall respond ed by "rising" and moving farther from the combination of "Press in herring." The suc ces of this trip of Wells, Fargo & Co. was proposed; Dick took wine in behalf of the c.ompany. Elegant speeches were made by Messrs. Caldwell, Plant, Miller, Hagadorn' Langhorn, Daiidson, Sherwood, Murphy and others, which added to the illumination. The brass band was brought forward and per formed the aria of "One I'd Riley" from the opera of "Norwood." This was repeated du ring the evening. As a last touching tribute. the whole company formed a ring around Mr. Hurst and performed that most eccentric evolution, the can can, under management of Messrs. Plant, Stickney and Ware, who had passed a course of instruction among the Crow-feet. The rumbling of the ap proaching coach admonished the assembly if they had tears, to shed them now. A torchlight procession was formed, headed by the band, which c.,nducted Mr. Harsh and his baggage, consisting of the jack-knare. a certificate and acknowledgment of hib hii tri. and a turned paper collar, through the prii, cipal streets to the coach, and saw hirl leave, followed by the genuine regrets, re spects and best wishes of his army of ,or rowing friends, who dispersed to their e.-.o ral homes, bearing the fragrant odor of ,oi~l herring about their clothes and the stom ach ache in their heads, to remind them of one of the best and jolliest times in Montana TrEMPLAI t' FEISTIVAL.-This carnival of pleasure, which comes off to-morrow even ing at the Court House, promises to be one of the most delightful occasions of this, or any other season. All the arrangements have been perfected. A splendid supper has been prepared, the best music in the city engaged, and a sumcient number of carriages will be on hand, and in fact, everything done to re alize the object desired.

The supper and eatertaiament will take place at the Court RHose, and carriages will convey the compmay o the Assembly Hall, where she "light fantastle" will be doue. As the object of this festival is to procate funds to build a hall, as objectD so worthy should most seeagly appeal to our citisems for their assista.ce and approval.
