LOCA L NEWS. From the Daily Herald of February 8. 4 dditio<iM to tb* Territorial Press. The first number of the School Tyro , edited :i „d published by W. Egbert Smith, at Deer Lodge, is at hand. The aim of this paper, to he issued monthly, will be to further the in terests of schools in Montana, and especially those of the county within which it is pub lished. The number before us is evidence that the little paper will be replete with in structive and interesting paragraphs, and the paternal head of eyery family in the Terri tory cannot do better with $1 than bj sending it for six issues of the School Tyro. The head-of-navigation town is happy in the possession of a newspaper, a semi-monthly, devoted to the interests of Benton, Sun River valley and adjoining country. The paper is called the Benton Record , and is edited and published by W. H. Buck. Mr. Buck dem onstrated through the Good Templar editorial abilities of promise, and these, coupled with his very thorough knowledge of the printing art. make his success in this new undertaking the more probable. While the Record is to be? a non-partisan sheet, it will wage a war against the present peace policy of the Indian Department, and advocate the complete trans fer of Indian affairs to the War Department. The interests of Benton will certainly be en hanced by the publication of such a live newspaper as the Record promises to be, and we both wish the undertaking success and congratulate the Bentonites over its posses sion. _ Arrival in the Capital of the Supreme Court Record». Isaac R. Alden, the efficient and very agree able Clerk of the Supreme Court of Montana, arrived in Helena on Saturday evening last, bringing with him from the old to the new Capital the records of that court. Mr. Alden lias secured au office in the U. S. Grand Jury rooms, in Reynold s building, Broadway, where he may be found until more roomy quarters can be secured, ready for business or a social chat. Mr. Alden is doubly wel come to our town, in that he is a desirable resident acquisition and is the vanguard of the capital corps. His family, now on a visit iu San Francisco, will join him here in May. _______ Personal. —Auditor Star starts for Virginia City to morrow morning on a brief business trip. —Dr. George Callawa}', late Auditor of the Territory, is now located at Tuscola, Illinois. —Mr. I.

Beall, of Bozeman, has in vented a machine which, being manipulated by one man and two horses, will dig and leave iu piles ten acres of potatoes per day. He I: as applied for a patent. —Mr. C. J. Lyster writes back from San Francisco that his health is somewhat im proved and that he will bask in the sunny clime of California for some months. Our cotemporary yesterday announced the speedy departure of Mr. Lyster for China, but this was, as is not unusual with that sheet, a harmless canard, this one being based upon the expressed intention of Mr. L. to visit the China marts of San Francisco. Vfeii^lier County Stock »11 Right. Hon. James Hornbuckle, who is one of the large stock-growers of Meagher county, in- forms us that not a single hoof of stock, to his knowledge, perished in his county dur- ing the long and extreme cold spell of last month. Wells 30 feet deep, and which never before froze in the least, were so closed with ice that axes and crow bars had to be used to open them every morning, but stock of all kinds rustled for bunch-grass, sought such shelter as the country afforded, and weather- ed it through in good shape. We have known of thousands of cattle and horses perishing upon the plains of Iowa and Western Minne- sota in storms of half the duration and far less violent. -—^ *« -m— -- Beaton Items. Mr. T. C. Power will leave Benton by next coach for Helena, cn route for St. Louis. The Fort Benton Transportation Com pany's new steamer, "Benton," will probably be the first boat to arrive at the head of navi gation next season. Severe cold weather, snow-storms and an abundance of buffalo have characterized this locality the past two weeks, beside hundreds of tons of merchandise still on the different roads leading to Helena. On the loth ultimo five horses, the prop- erty os Sheriff Hale, of Benton, were stolen by Gros Ventre Indians. The horses were re- covered by JJeut C. A. Booth and a detach- ment of soldiers belonging to Co. "B," 7th I n f a n t ry.— Record. ------ ^ * \ — I ►> m — From Pananint. Our former fellow-towsman, R. E. Arick, now of Panamint, California, sends us a late copy of the News of that place, containing ruining and other items of the district up to January 23d. Mr. Arick, in the advertising columns, gives notice that he will apply on behalf of the Panamint Transportation, Mill :iud Mining Company, to the Honorable, the Board of Supervisors of Inyo county, at a special meeting of the Board, for a franchise for the construction and maintenance of a Wire Tram Road, (Hallidays patent,) for the transportation of freight and passengers be tween the mouth of Surprise Canyon and the head thereof, situated in Panamint District, in said county of Inyo. a a Address of Hon. C. Hedges. On the evening ot the 1st inst. Hon. Cor nelius Hedges, Territorial Superintendent of Public Instruction, delivered an address at the court-room. A good audience of ladies and gentlemen attended. Mr. Hedges advo cated the erection of a new school house in this city—a subject which has been discussed by our citizens. He claimed that there was no such investment of money which paid such big dividends as that w T hich was devoted to the support of schools. The system of in struction which has been adopted by Massa chusetts was referred to by the speaker to support his views. No State has expended so much money for this great object in the past, and to-day we find that she leads all other portions of the Union in this respect. Her sterile soil has produced a rich common wealth through the intelligence of her popu lation. Montana should found such institutions now, so that people will be induced to remain here and educate their children. The richest mines are not those of gold and silver, which are found in the mountains of the Territory, but those which exist in the minds of the growing children. The people of this locality should sustain the proposition for the erec tion of a substantial building for educational purposes. We baye given some of the sug gestions of this excellent address, and regret that our report is necessarily incomplete.— Monta nian. From Philipsburg-. Col. J. A. Viall, who arrived home from Philipsburg on Friday last, reports about 130 men in that camp at present, most of whom are employed in the silver ledges. Cole Saunders' five-stamp mill is in full blast, hav ing started up on the 31st ult. The mill has a capacity of five tons per day, and cost $18, 000. Considerable dumps of silver ore are ac cumulating at the different leads, and brighter times are anticipated in Philipsburg.

Reliable Forwarding Firm. The advertisement of Fred. J. Keisel & Co., Forwarding and Commission Merchants, Corinne, Utah, will be found in our columns to-day. The senior member of the firm, Mr. Keisel, has recently paid visits in person to the merchants of Helena, Bozeman, Virginia City, Bannack, and other towns of the Terri tory, and is now across the Divide making the acquaintance of the West Side shippers. Mr. Keisel has made a very favorable im pression upon the mercantile communities cf Montana. He is as gentlemanly a person as any one would choose to meet, and is quick to convince all with whom he comes in con tact fhat he has a thorough knowledge of the business in which he is concerned and in which he gave more than usual satisfaction during the freighting and forwarding season last past. Our shippers are quite familiar with the delays and obstacles attending ex peditious transportation from all directions last year, and they are also familiar with the fact that Keisel & Co. were of the number of forwarders who best managed to get freights through in good shape and on fair aycrage time to their northern customers. Transportation was not always abundant or ready at hand, and the freighting season was unusually bad, but the work and services of this receiving and forwarding firm were well and faithfully done. We instance the good luck attending Kiesel & Co, in forwarding to destination some of the latest freights received by them. Goods shipped by the firm at Corinne as late as December 4th were deliv ered in Virginia City in nineteen days and in Helena in twenty-six days. Kiesel & Co. have earned the confidence and deserve the patronage of Montana merchants shipping goods from the East or West via Corinne, —Under the act of February 26th, 1859, pre-emptors who have made a settlement on sections 16 or 86 prior to their survey in the field, will be entitled to prove up and enter claims, and the State or Territory will be granted indemnity.

Norton, writing from San Fran cisco under date of the 18th ult., to our Deer Lodge cotemporary, makes personal mention of the following Montonians: I frequently meet John Easterling, who is here negotiating the bonding of the Yamhill mining and ditch property to a London com pany. He seems sanguine of closing an ar rangement with the Londoners, or if not with them with San Francisco parties. Jimmy Cyphers and Charley Copp, Mon tana boys, are in Virginia city, Harry Miller, the Jordans, and Frost and wife, were in the city two weeks ago. Harry and the Jordans have departed for Los An geles, and Mr. Frost and wife remftin in town Both of the Montana newspaper Carpenters have taken up their abode here of late. "E. W." has engaged in insurance business, and "A. M. S." in the collection-agent business, residing in Oakland. Judge Hosmer is doing well in literary pursuits, and is more than pleased with the Golden State. Miss Sallie Hosmer has a fine and lucrative position in the Mint. Ed. Jenkins, of Murphy, Higgins & Co., is here in the employ of an express company. Green Kirtley is anchored in the tinsmith business. Mr. Hiram Thomas and family, of Deer Lodge, are nicely located here and leisurely and pleasantly spending the win ter months. Mr. D. S. Stanley some weeks ago came down from Walla W alia where he had been in the real estate business, and pub lishing that excellent little paper, the Real Estate Record , and has located in town.

Smith sports a breastpin of considerable curi osity, in the shape of a Brazilian diamond bug, an emblem of Brazil, which was pre sented to him by Don Pedro in person in 1800. —Mr. E. J. Bimmermen, an old Montanian now resident in Sullivan county. Mo., writes a friend in this city that "there never before were known such dull times here ; no money in circulation, and about one-half of the peo ple in the county are unable to pay their taxes. There was no sale for cattle last sum mer, and that is what we depend mainly to live upon." Similar accounts come from other Eastern States.

Please inform me through your paper whether or not the inauguration of the Presi dent of the United States has ever occurred on Sunday. If so, when and bow often? R. S. YELDELL. No one of the several Presidents of the United States was inaugurated on Sunday. With one exception, inauguration day has not occurred on Sunday since the organiza tion of the Government. The exception ap plies to the year 1849. Inauguration day (March 4) of that year occurred on Sunday, but the inaugural ceremonies did not take place until the following day, (Monday,March 5th.) It will occur for a second time when our next President is. inaugurated—in 1877; and not again on Sunday until the year 1922. —Ed. Hekai.d.] Tbe Last, The Greatest. Should any "doubting Thomas" still cling to the absurd idea that there will be another postponement of the last Library Gift Con cert, let him remember that Mr. Briggs, the new manager, fully endorses the promise of Governor Bramlette, the former one, that if the concert does not take place at the time specified, the money will be refunded at once to the ticket-holders. Let him further ob serve that Mr. Briggs has secured, of course at an enormous expense, the services of Gil more, the greatest leader in America, with his orchestra of 100 select performers, who will conclude the series of concerts with such a burst of harmony as has never before awak ened our Western homes. And, by tbe way, let him also remember that if he does not possess at least a coupon ticket, this music will never reach his ears. d&wlt Items. —Tbe wife of O. W.

Mr. James M. Ryan yesterday effected the purchase of Judge Allen of the eligible prop erty on the west side of Rodne} r street bound ed by Seventh and Eighth avenues. This parcel of ground has a frontage on Rodney street of 216 feet and a depth on the avenues of 150 feet. Mr. Ryan for a number of years previous to locating here was a resident of Beaverhead county, where he accumulated a handsome competence. He is one of a con siderable vanguard of pioneer people who are centering here from different parts of the Territory with the intention of making Helena their home. Mr. Ryan is now engaged in perfecting plans for an elegant brick resi dence, which he purposes to erect early next spring, to be occupied by his own family, and will also construct on his adjoining lots two other tasty cottage homes for lease. The demand for good residences far exceeds the present supply. It is probably safe to say that a score or more of such structures could find ready tenants at this time were they pro vided. This demand will increase as the year advances, and there are few of our capitalists and builders, apparently, who fully compre hend the situation and are preparing to supply the needs already felt. Mr. Ryan, we under stand, is determined to do his share, and will make substantial and attractive improvements in the several resident buildings to be erected by him and which he intends to complete at the earliest practicable day this coming s P rin *\___---- From the Daily Herald of February 10. Short Weight Flour. Spuing ville Mill«, February 9,1S75. To the Editor of the Herald. In your paper of the 5th inst. I notice a correspondent has touched up the short weight flour question again, but I do not think it will accomplish the desired object without nam ing the brand of flour that is short in weight. It is nothing but right that the consumer should know what brand of flour is short in weight. It may be that it is our brand, and if so we want to know it. There are many mills that have only one pair of scales , when there should be at least two , for, scales in a mill, with the closest attention, are liable to get out of order. There is not a Weight and Measure Inspector in the country. If there is we have not seen him. Therefore, it leaves a grand opening for tampering w'th weights, and I think it would be a good idea to have one appointed, for it is very unjust for one mill to make from 90 f ' 97 pounds to the sack and have it competing with other brands of 98 pounds. There is no need of short weights at the present or any other price in Montana, or elsewhere; provided, the mill is run according to science. If a few more of our mill proprietors, who are not practical millers, would employ practical and none but practical men, and leave them full charge of the mill, then I think it would be unnecessary for these millers to do a short-weight busi ness, enabling them to compete with other mills by holding their custom trade in this manner. Respectfully, FLOUR PACKER. The Dance East A'ight. As the Herald predicted it would be, the Mardi Gras Hop last night was one of the best managed, and consequently the most largely attended and most enjoyable one of this or any other season. It is almost need less to state that the entire success attending the whole affair was due to the good judg ment displayed by those who originated the entertainment in the selection of committees whose executive abilities proved so great. We understand that 901 invitations were is sued, and that all responded except one, whose indisposition was sufficient apology for liis absence. Travis had out a half dozen rigs gathering the guests in, and when (at 8:30 sharp) the music struck up the grand march the 900 souls responded and the fun began. Dancing continued without interruption until precisely 11:30, when, at a given signal, all stepped into Travis' sleighs and were con ducted to the International, where an oyster supper was partaken of, after which they were reconducted to the hall, where the danc ing was resumed and the programme of 32 dances carried out. The last strains of 'Home, Sweet Home' were played as day was dawn ing, when the 900 went home, each with a regret that the entertainment could not con tinue forever. The net receipts were so large that the Helena Library Association contem plate buying in the Kentucky Library, and the profits of the International proprietors so great that they are to-day looking up a site upon which to erect a new hotel. ^ ii h -------- -----^ Items from ITtali. The numerous iron mines in the vicinity of Ogden are being developed with much vigor, and arc said to be looking finely. The Junc tion City, by reason of these vast mines of iron, bids fair to become one of the greatest manufacturing centers on the Pacific coast. The friends of the men buried in the slide in Big Cottonwood, have given up all hopes of recovering them until the snow goes off in spring. Last week they probed in the snow with iron bars thirty-three feet in length, but could not touch bottom. In places the drift is said to be fully 100 feet in depth. Among the latest discoveries in Southern Utah, is a jawbone three feet and a half long. A Salt Lake man swears it was lost by his poor mother-in-law. NOTICE.
