AN IMPROVEMENT TO TrHE CITY.
We took a look yesterday at the fine mansion of
Mr. John S. Rockfellow, just completed. It is on
a gently sloping plateau. to the left of the exten
sion of Coover street, and commands a delightful
view of the town and surrounding country. It con
tains seven large rooms, well warmed, lighted and
ventilated, and the general arrangement of them.
is designed as well with an eye to convenience as
beauty. The papering and furniture, are in ex
cellent taste, the latter of exquisite workmanship,
the former corresponding admirably with the well
* executed 8eeeo work of the ceilings. While here

" Like orient pearls at random string,"
are beautiful sketches in water colors of some of
the most delightful scenery of our grand old mnoun
tains. The parlor furnitalre is walnut, the dining
room oak, and the chambers of rosewood, while
carpets whose heavy thickness drowns the foot-fall
and look too handsome to be trodden by brogans
like ours, cover the floors, and are selected with
reference to the other appointments of the roomls.
Every modern convenience that is accessible in the
eotntrv has been adopted. and no expense spared
that would add either to its comfort or beauty.
The water. conducted)fromta strong spring, delight
rilly pare, is introduced in the heuse, and also laid
to a fountain in the grounds. near the main entrance.
The house outside presents an imposing appear

.,utbuildings. on a site admirably selected, it looks
like the country 'eat of a retired banker. " away
down east." It is decidedly superior to any other
dwelling in the Territory, in site, size, construction.
conveniences, and fitting up. and does infinite credit
to our enterprising, and public spirited townsman.
Pol.IC'E CortIT.-Another batch of Chi
nese were before hit honor on Saturday, for gam
bling; three males, and the proprietress of the
house, a female. They informed the magistrate
that they were only playing for a chicken for the
Chinese New Year. (next Sunday,) but the testi
anomy of several highly respectable gentlemen
thoroughly conversant with the condition of affairs
in the said house, went to show that the game had
bee. going on for several weeks. with money on
the table, which frequently changed hands, and
'hey were fuund guilty. The proprietree was
fined, and the balance adjudged to each ray a
share of the iie. John Doe is not only ubiquitous,
but manifold. He turned up the otherday in seven
different characters, who were honored by an invi
tation to the Police Y rate's o.os. These John
Does had been traveling in search of something,
that like the philosopher's stone, has perplexed
many a mortal. and in their peregriastions made
more noise than the law permitted. They were
timed 018 eeh, w hich they paidi and agreed to re
pair damages.
RUNAWAv-AN AssnKT.-On Thurs
day last a team attached to a sled leaded with
wood, took fright at their shadow, or something
else. and startd on their nmd career. Their first
achievement was to spill the load of wood, distrib
uting it generously among the residents on Jackjeo
street Then, is "'swinging round the cirole" to
get up Id street, they emoountered a ooople .f
specimens 0hat meek and musical species of ani
mlt which caused Mr. BasLam so much trouble
several years ago. One of them was hriaed to the
gra.nd before he had an opportunity to speak, or
even get out of the road. and the horses and sled
were over him and far up the street before his as
tonished master could set him on his pins. The
team dashed along streets and around corners at a
reoekle pace, and . ially coe'eadlag they were
furnishing too much amusement to bipeds, for the
amount of fhn they were having themselves, gave
up the performance. and were secured.
TIE FORT ('ooK LETrTER.-We call
atutetion to the letter in to-day's paper, dated Fort
Cook. This is officially known as Camp Cook. and
is situated at the mouth of Judith river, eighty
miles below Fort Benton. This eommanteatiou

ACc.DENT.--Co. Deimling met with
a pal.nfl aeeldent yesterday. While elosing the door
of the huge safe in the vault of John Hlow & Co.'s,
his hand was eaught aed terribly erushed. It is
not thought that amputatioe will be necessary.
The Col. thinks it is the result of not letting his
right hand know what his left hand doeth.
Wi E have information that a bilk is

an article in each issue, on this exciting topic. Thi

stating, that what little we saw of it war exceed
ingly wet.

GOOD \VoRK.-dMr. Hlendry, of quart2
mill fame, called to see us. and from him we ascer
tain that his mill on Grizzly gulch, in Idge{rtor
county, running eighteen stamps, cleaned up. foI
the six days ending January 2Jd., from one hundred
and forty-six tons of secowd-edas Whitlatch Unior
ore. $4 .2t;. This is the largest number of tons
ever run through any mill in the Territory in the
same length of time, with the same number ol
stamps. This is one of Mr. Hendry's manufacture
of mills, superintended by himself; and the resull
is another evidence of his title to, the reputation o1
being a successful mill man. This mill is run at
an expense of less than five hundred dollars pet
week. and made on this run a clear saving of three
hundred and twenty dollars per diem. Mr. H. has
gone to the Hot Springs district for the purpose of
putting in the Clarke & Upton mill twelve of his
stamps. in place of the ;ardner crusher and Ilow
ell pulveriser, which they have been using, and
both of which have proven failures. It isestimated
that the alteration will be completed in thirty five
days, when this otherwise good mill will no doubt
make handsome returns to the owners.
THE CLERICR of the weather has n

THE RECE..rIoN.-The reception giv
en by Mr. Rockfetldw and lady at their mansion on
the evening of the 29th, was attended by aft those
who were fortunate enough to be honored with a
card. Nearly one hundred and fifty guests. com
prising the elite of the city, paid their respects to
the bride and groom, and partook of their hospi
tality. The evening paned off dlightfally, har
mony and good-will prevailing among all. The
ladies were radiant with smiles, and the chamnpagne
sparkled not more brightly than their eyes. The
gentlemen, under the witchery of wine and women's
smiles, approached as near the ideal man as it is
possible for Ina-culites to attain.
SUMMIT.r-The ('hristnought mill on
the Oro Cacbe was started on last Monday. and its
work was beyond the expectations of the most sam.
guine. The pans and rollers work admirably. The
mill is known as the Chilean. the same as that used
in the U. S. Mint at Philadelphia. The putting up of
the entire mill has been under the supervision of Mr.
Horace Countryman. of this city, and reflects much
credit upon him in his profession. Mr. C. has es
tablished himself in this place, and will devote him
self to the fitting tp of mills and machinery. His
long and extensive experience in practical mining.
and the construction of successful mills, commends
him to those who propose oeemtting on their leads.

Count of Monte Christo Some b'boys who got an

COUNTY HoSPITAL.-We, the other
day, paid a visit to the county Hospital looted in
this city, and took a look at the building, the pa
tients, and things generally. There are at present,
nine oocupants under medical treatment, for the fol
lowing sauses : fuses fet, one; broken thigh, one;
flux, one; pneumonia, one; chronic diarrhea, one;
chroocl syphilis, one; and three others suffering
from various diseases. The medical department is
under the superintendence of Dr. Brooks, the wor
thy eouaty easoNer, and everything is done under
the eiremsfances, for the alleviation of those who
are neoesmitated in the bout of sickness, to avail
themselves of the counts charity. The internal
economy of the institution is under the immediate
direction of the worthy steward, Mr. 8aell, who ap
pears to keep everything meat and trim about the
place, in a maner highly creditable. On the whole.
if the building sadaeoommodations are not such as
we would like to see, we must may, that the most
is made of what they have, and there camnot be the
slightest doubt that the hospital has proves of great
beneit to a large number of our indigent sick.
('ONTRADICTION-It will be reccllected I
by our readers that some time ago. we gave an ac
count of an attempted murder of a boet's crew,
near Fort Randall, in which the name of Jo. Riley
(of pugilistlic notoriety,) was used In cneomtion with
the affair. The hfat of Joe's good character while
resident of this Territory. went far towards
pating the belief of his being guilty of the Send
act imputed to him. We are happy is being a
to state his entire innocence of the crime c
A letter received by the Gazete of this city from Mr.
Amos M. Thtyer, states that Riley traveled with
him and some others from Benton to Omaha, " and
far from manifesting any murderous propensities,

1. Territory. We believe, that no one In our Territort
d engaged in the same oocupation. enjoys the respet
d and confidence of the public in an equal degree wit
it Mr. Romley, and in al that pertains to his profe
k sio :; we do not flatter, when we say that he stand
* head and shoulders above his compeers in the prat
t tical knowledge and treatment of ores.
A Bro THINo.-The last clean-up fror
d the two mills crushing from the Whitlatch UInio
lead is by far the biggest thing in that line ye
* 010.500 being the amount taken from the plats
and batteries of Hendrie's eighteen stamp, an
urnley's ten stamp mill. in one week's run.
- t Turnle y' mill cleaned tup 06,000. and the be
ance came from Hendrie's. The former ran ool
Ire days and a half and the latter the full s
j days. At this rate Mr. Whitlatch has an income
some t500,000t) per reer. That's a mere begatell
t wever, and hardly worth mentioning.
SAD BEREAV EMENT.-Mr. and :ft
Wj . M. Thomas, of this city, have met with a so
* bereavement, in the death of their beautiful an
t amiable daughter, Fannie 8. Thomas, aged i
years. who departed this life in St. Louis, Missour
0 on the 17th inst. Her disease was typhoid feve
I and she was ill but a short time. There was
a strong attachment existing between the parents an
* daughter. Mr. Thomas had made every prepar
tion for her reception to his home in this city, in th
D early spring. " Thy will, not mine, 0! Lord, t
0 done."

something almost unprecedented, and deserve
more than a passing notice. The coaches betwee
the two points have failed but once to make cot

01o.i I)DLT SHlIPMENTS.- Ve are inw
Pbted to Mr. J. L. Street, the gentlemanly agent
f Wells. Fargmo & Co.'s express in this city. for
me following figures of the amount of gold dust
tipped over their line from August 11, ltE;ti, to
anuary 25, ltei7. D)uring that time there was
tipped to Virginia City, M. T., $51.008.43; tothe
ast, 8477.493."25; to the West, $ 55.t23.30; and to
alt Iake City. $137,357.28, making a grand total
f $640.675 el. The foregoing figures represent.
sa general thing, the coin value of the dust, and
get at its real value we think that at least ten per
ent. ought to be added, which would make $704,
13 33. The highest and lowest shipments were,
the East, $41,751.90; and to Salt IAke, $14.62.
at the above total falls measurably short of the
rtual amount which passed over the line; and
ere we to multiply the above sum by six, we
Link we might obtain a fair approximation of the
mount that went in care of passengers. This
onld make 84,227.859.98, and would probably not
e far a rong. Of the vast amount which went
,wn the Missouri, no correct estimate can be
made. There was at one time escorted from this
lace to Benton, 4,500 pounds of gold dust, making
ae snug sum of 4972.000. while one party is said to
ave started from here with '200,000, and another
ith $500).000. we certainly, therefore, are not over
eppinmg the limits of credibility when we say that
ver $5.000,0X0 went by the river. Placing it at
mat sum, we thus have a total of nearly ten mil
ons. which has been shipped from this city and
me surrounding districts during the past year.

FIItE.--A fire occurred in the Young
merica Hotel, Main street. on last Friday evening.
bout half-past 12 or 1 o'clock. There was a dance
Sprogress at the time, and mostof the participants
ere at the supper table when the alarm was given.
ut we understand that it did not disturb their
luanimity a great deal. as they supposed it was a
Ise alarm gotten up by those in waiting for the
second table." The fire was occasioned by the
imts of the stovepipe next the roof coming apart,
robably caused by the floor settling. It was. how
rer. a close call." as it comsi.lerably charred the
t rf, and only its quick discovery prevented a seri
Sous contlaration.
S(jENI-ERAL. MEA(I IER'S LECTC:( E.-Our
readers will please bear in mind the lecture to bhe
delivered in this place on the third of Februlary. The
subject. "The Irish Brigade in the Army of the P',to
mac.' affords the orator a fine field for those pe
culiar graphic wordn-pictures for which he is so
noted. The same lecture. delivered in Virginia a
few days ago, attracted one of the largest audien
ces ever assembled in the Legislative Halli. Those
who would aid a worthy charity and spend a de
lightltl evening, should not fail to attend.
EXORCIt(- ED.--The (;,zt'tfe, (during the
past two weeks, has been in violent labour over the
organization of U. L. A.. together with the vari
t os mystic signs and tokens connected with that
institution. Well, it is dull times just now, in the
way of getting loeals, as we know to our sorrow ;
blut yet we think that paper could hardly pulblish
information of more value. It will serve for the
propagation of the order. which is all that the lov
ers of the Union require.
FRno BENTON.-The military express
from the above and intermediate points, arrived in
this city on Monday last with the mail. There is
no news, everything at present wearing a placid
smileon the banks of the mighty Missouri. The
weather was very cold when the party left Fart
Benton, and the Inhabitants had burrowed for the
winter.
Baircs.-We saw in the hands of Mr.
J. G. Sanders, seSeMay of the Whitlatch Union
mine, two brieks, wel ing eollectively one hun
dred and fifty-five ounes. Those are the kind of
bricks which lay the foundation for our future
psteas.
OwD TIME.-Wells, Fargo & Co.'s
coaches are now running on the old time, and get
in here about half-past 2 or 3 o'clock no the after
noon. On Monday last they brought in five sacks
of mail matter, the first for a week.
T.E S. rTERS OF CHARITY.-We un
derstand that an educational estanbishment will be
started in this city .n the spring, under the auspices
of the above order, in which English sad all of the
higher branche of educattio will be taught.
SooN To CRn~n.-Both Prof. Hodge.s
and Judge Turnley's mills will commence operat
ing soon. probablythe latter part of this week.

ANOTHER FATAL SHOOTING AFFRAY.
The usual qrdet of that portion of Ore Iinn gulch
Sknown as Roovelt, about four miles from this city,
at the point where the National Mining and Ex
plering Company is located, we rudely broken on
Slast t ednesday morning by one of the ost sicken
t.g and heart-readfng dmooting affairs that getrer
ally tails to the lot of the journalist to chronicle.
The affray took place between eight and nine o'clock
in the morning, and resulted in the severe wound
iag o Preofesor luodge, his oe, Mr. Rumell Hodge,
and a man named George Moore The reception
of the news here created a profound sensation
amoeg all lases, and our reporter iammedately
a proceeded to the scene of the castamit to glean sOeh
facts in regard to the oesurrerce as would enable us
a to lay before car readers a statement that could be
a relied upon. It appears tmmro what he could gath
a er from varioas parties. that the ciroumstances of
r the mea ae aet as kdows : Preseser Hodge is
I the agent and general superintendent of the Na
Stional Miing sad Eplornta Company of New
t York, bhaving charge of the compaty's mill and
e property, sit.ted in Oro Fioo Rad Grizzly gulches,
and as unch had bought, shortly after his arrival
here, a timber ranch for the purpose of supplying
Ms various works over which there had been some
t dispute, and the case was in the courts for adjudi
Seation. Up to the present time there had been no
a trouble about the matter, and probably would not
buet for the hasty action of both prties. What led
5 to the arfay, however, was the fact that Moore and
e some others had cut down s.ute trees on what
Y Hldge eonsidered to be his ground. but which the
t others denied his right to claim under 'ny cireum
h stances. Moore lived in a cabin close by. and the
wo- od had been cot up into lengths preparatory to
5 being either used or hauled away. On the fatal
morning, the Professor took two or three Asms and,
accompanied by his son and several others. pro
ceeded to where the wood was and connmenced to
Slohad up. Either anticipating trouble. or for the
purpose of staring the other party. the Professor I

s were armled; the former with a double-barrehd
I shot-gunt. and the two latter with we believe, car
f blaes. While in the act of loading. Moore and an
other man camee up to them and told them to desist.
V and the latter got on one of the loads and commenced
C to pitch it off. and while in the act the Professor hit
f him on the head with his gun. The accounts of
what transpired after this, are somewhat oonflict
ing. but it evidently appears that some high words
ensued between Hodge and Mooare while they were
standing close together, and that the former pointed
I his gun at the breast of the latter, who shoved it
I away, maying as he retreated some distance. "lon't
7 shoot me." But a minute or two transpired after
this when they both fired simultaneously at each
other, with almost fatal effect, the Professor h.ing
t wounded in the center of the breast, and Moore
I having six large buckshot in a semicircle from an
inch to half an inch a•rt, around the region of his
heart. It must have been at the juncture that Rus
Ssell Hodge participated in the proeedings in de
fense of his father, for almost immediately after
there were two more shots fired ; one by young
1 Hodge. and tile other by Moore; both likewise tak
ing effect the hall from the former's carbine hi.g
a ing in Maire's groin, while the ball frertn the latter's
Srevolve.r shattered Russell's wrist fearfully. The
wounded men were taken to their respective cab
ins. which oe bullt a slhort distance from each other,
and sargical aid was summoned immediately frome!
r this city, when Drs. (lick at.n Maupin repaired in
haste ti tIe' scene, and done everythting in their
powe-r fr the relief of the sufferers. It was indeed
a sad sight toe see these three. two of themIt in the
flush cf vigoroous manhood, andl the other but just
entering eupon that period of life when hoiepes are
freshest and th', sp-irits are metost huoyant, thus cut
down and ,oft'r.,l, up tio the Mol.ch ,f unbridled
i passions. It was not ulntil the aftern~om that the
Professor andt his son had so far recov-ered from the
shoc k to their nerv',os systenms as to eeinable tIhe die
tors to fallsH examinie tihe nature of their wouands.
O in pr,,bing the Professor's wound the aill could,

and which elicited the admiration of the prof-s
sionnil gentlemen in attendance; his greatest cinr
oern apjipeared to be the effect it wtuldt have upon
his father In the ease of Mr. Moore nothing could
be atttempted. except the administering of such
medlictnes as would have a tendency to relieve his
intense pain. Hoth he antd Professr Ilalge art. in
a critical condition, and the chances are against
e their recovery. It is iteles, for uss to, speciulate on
e this matter or attempt to enter into an argument oii
the cause which led thereto ; we have but given
the hare fact-. in the case. leaving it for the proper
courts to decide who was in the wrong, with the
strong conviction that two of themt may never ap
pear before an earthly judge. and the trial of their
tcause will take place bet.re that dread tribunal
r from which there is no appeal.

a either l'rofessor Hlislge or Mr. Moire. Russell
