Lo3T.-A large plain gold ring. The c 1uldor will be hanedsomlely rewarded by re- g surning the same to this office, as the ring is valued for the memories thatcluster about e it, and inot its trinsic So1ir ot the Smith river sheep men are dipping their sheep. It is rather cool for P this business, but it is claimed that sheep that can stanl the drenching rains of the f pacific coast can survive it withlout material t i,_jury. Is the article, entitled "A Talk With t Young Ladles," published in our last issue, a paragraph begins, " Think of a pair of lovely girls," etc. It should have read: ,. Think of a fair and lovely girl." gir. T. A. JohxsoN, of Smith river, paid I u% a visit last Monday. Mr. Johnson is one t of the few lucky farmers of the season, hav ing escapled the grasshoppers. lie has raised an excellent crop which lie is marketing at I good prices. MYi. F. GAUGLtR and James Carpenter started for the Muscleshell country last Sat urday. Mr. Gaugler owns a ranch, store, and hotel at the Forks of the Muscleshell, and Mr. Carpeuter is engaged in the fur and peltry business. Jim is a mountaineer of the true type. T'rE splendid weather and good roads gives promise of a .large turnout to the Good Templars' ball, Friday evening. The chivalry and beauty of Smith river, Cave gulch, Missouri valley and Deep creek will be in attendance. Those who would like a good time ere the sand in the glass run out, will do well to be on hand. A BROTHER and brother-in-law of J. R. Marks arrived from Illinois a. short time since. These gentlemen are men of faini lies, alnd came to Montana with a view of making it their permanent home. Mr. Marks has been engaged in the mercantile business for a number of years in the States, and will, perhaps, embark in the sanme pursuit here. Mn. IIORACE BENNETT, of the firm of Bennett & Goodale, of Birch creek, breed ers and importers of thoroughbred Cots wold sheep, paid us a visit on Tuesday last. lie says their flock is grazing upon the hills, near their home without a shepherd, and are looking fine. They have completed one room of their large barn, and are pretty well prepared for winter. IT is due to Mr. L. Rotwltt to state that the official count gives him six votes less than he is justly entitled to. We learn that this was caused by illegible returns. At Belt precinct Mr. Rotwitt received twenty six votes, but the Board called it twenty. The character intended to represent "6," was so indistinct that it might be construed to be anything else. THE citizens of Muscleshell valley are tak ing steps to have a postofitce at the Forks of the Muscleshell. Their petition for the same will be forwarded. There are now about thirty residents in this section, and were it not for the fear of Sioux raids three times this number would winter upon that valley. A postoffice located at Mr. Gaugler's store" will be ot great benefit to the residents. IN our last issue we stated that the farm ers were through harvesting, but we were in error. The clatter of the reaper might have been heard on several of our valley farms up to last Saturday. These late crops are abundant for straw. but the grain is light-oats weighing only 15. to 20 lbs to the bushel. But this is far betterthan no crop at all, when we consider that they are wortl $3 per cwt. TIE name of . H. Vance, a miner of Spruce Bar, a Kentuckian by birth, and as clever and conscientious a gentleman as ever walked upon 1l4ontana's soil,- was the first entered ppon the subscription list of the ROCKy MOUNTAIN HUSBANDMAN, and it is wth no small degree of pleasure that we record. him as being the first to come for ward with a cash renewal of his subscrip i~Qa for the second volunc.. P. J. AND SANFOnD MOORE, wood con tractors for Camp B:lker, have linished de livering 330 cords, the requisite amount for that post. CAPT. DUsoLD was in town this week on a visit to our County 'I'reasurer. He states that the prospects in Avalanche are very en couraging. le is pushing the drain in his ground ahead night and day. W , are pleased to note the return of our esteemed friend L)avid Marks. laving dis posed of his intercst in the clothing busi ness at Butte to his Uncle, he will become a permanent citizen of Diamond. ONE of the necessities in the preparations for winter, is remodeling and sharpening the teeth, and those in need of such work would do well to call upon the skilled den tist, Dr. C. W. Lombard, whose "ad" will be found in another column. The Doctor's work rives general satisfaction, and his terms are reasonable. Minssus. MAYNE & JIEITMAN, formerly merchants of this place, and who for some two years past, have been engaged in the grocery business in Helena, have again opened in that city. These gentlemen have located on Rodney street, below Breckin ridge street, where they will doubtless be pleased to welcome their many friends. They are liberal and fair dealers, and de serve a good share of trade. M1t. MAru SuELLEY, of Deep creek, in forms us that his crop of oats which is be ing threshed, weighs twenty-seven pounds to the bushel. This is the crop which we mentioned recently as having been sown in the last days of June, and not watered un til after the 4th of July. Twenty-seven pounds to the bushel is pretty light oats for Montana, but it is equal to the yield of many of the Eastern States.

I. Marshall, Esq., formerly a resident of Montana, but now traveling and lecturing through the East on the National Park, for some very fine stereo scopic views of that land of enchantment. Mr. M., no doubt, gives a very' interesting narrative of this region, as the great success he is meeting with conclusively proves. We know of no reason why he should not4 for, no doubt, this is one of the most remarkable of all the natural wonders of America. Lofty, rugged mountains i deep tangled for ests, gloomy as eternal night; inaccessible canyons; boiling, foamling cascades whose crystal flood, in its mad career, leaping over dizzy precipices and disappearing in yawn ing caverns, rarely ever catches the laugh ing sunlight in its winding, stony pathway to the sea. Placid lakes and babbling brooks filled with tiny fish, and springs in numerable-warm, hot, and boiling-sul phur mud pools, spouting geysers, and mammoth bath-tubs formied by nature ler self-comprising in all the most weird, wild and picturesque region to be fomid through out the Rocky Mountains. The Eiastern press speak in high terms of Mr. Marshalls lecture and views, which must certainly prove interesting to those who have not the privilege of visiting these wonderful scenes in personQ, A TEACHER is wanted for Confederate dis trict school. Address: P. J. Winston, Dia- I mond City, M. T. MRg. EAR;LE, brother-in-law ofR. A. John son, arrived from the East last week. He comes on a visit and will take a look at the country. Frog Mr. Hugh Morrow, who came in from the other side last Saturday, we learn that a number of the flocks which were thought to be clear ot scab last summer are becoming affected again, which he thinks was caused by the use of poor dip. Hie says that the strongest quality of tobacco should be used and that dip cannot be made too strong. Failing to get tobacco for dipping again this season he has determined to give his sheep a good share of attention. He proposes to keep a kettle of strong tobacco liquid on hand and whenever he discovers signs of scab on any of the sheep he intends to catch them and pour on' the hot tobacco juice. In this way he hopes to come near checking the disease and thereby save a full clip of wool.
