Tbe Bozemau Time*, which some mouths since suspended publication, will, we learn, be resuscitated, the first number to be issued with the opening of the centennial year. The publisher and editor will be >Ir. E. S. Wilkin son, associated at one time with Major Ma ginnis and Mr. Peter Honan in the publica tion of the Rocky Mountain Gazette. Mr* Wilkinson has leased from Col. L. M. Black the press, type and other material of the Times office, and will leave the present week for Bozeman with his three sons—all practical printers—to take the necessary preliminary steps for reissuing the paper at the time stated. The Times under the new regime will be Democratic, although on the start its poli tics will be kept in abeyance, or made sub sidiary to the consideration and discussion of matters and interests local to Bozeman and Eastern Montana. At the proper time, we understand, Mr. Wilkinson will speak right out tor Major Martin Maginnis, advocating his election to Congress for a third term. ^ The unwillingness or hesitation of the Inde pendent to pronounce itself favorable to the aspirations of our Delegate, will doubtless have the effect of making Mr. Wilkinson the accredited spokesman and his paper the re cognized organ of Major Maginnis in the contest next year. We understand Mr. Wil kinson is sanguine that he can influence or carry over to the support of Maginnis for a third nomination a great share of the Mis souri wing of the Democracy, and if this really turns out to be the case the candidacy of the Major may be considered as already settled. It is claimed by the Major's politi cal friends of the Irish wing that neither Napton, Mayhew, Mitchell, Word, Davis, Vivion, or any other man of that class can successfully compete with Maginnis, and that Maginnis alone can command sufficient of the Democratic vote to ensure a Demo cratic Delegate. However, we shall know more about this matter hereafter. We are now chiefly interested in seeing the new pa per, and learning the plans and policy of its immediate management. —----— ♦« -4^^ ►» ----- Ananias and Sapphlrn. It is pretty cold up in Montana now, and the saloon keepers have already begun to saw their whisky into two-bit hunks .—Han Fran rim'u ( 'Immide, December 2. We like a good lusty lie, so long as it is the other fellow that tells it. We call upon the wretches of the Chronicle oflice to prove: First, That it is cold in Montana. Second, That there arc saloon keepers here. Third, That they have a saw, or any instrument but the traditional "hatchet." Fourth, That they have whisky. Fifth, That a "hunk" •is a merchantable article in .Montana. îrixth, That there is a gentleman, wit, geographer, meteorologist, or Christian in the office of the Siu Francisco Chronicle aforesaid. And, Seventhly and lastly. In the bland and beau tiful climate of Montana, with our coats off, we recommend the culprits of the Chronicle to the Moodys and Saukeys of this genera tion, unless it shall be judged that a new atonement is essential to their salvation. Selab. ^ «4 <4^* ►► —■ ^ TliHînuled School. The first term of school in this elegant and commodious edifice will begin on Monday, January :!d, 1870, and close on Friday, July 11th. The dedication of the building will take place on the 1st prox., with appropriate ceremonies. The faculty is composed of the following well known tutors : Principal, Charles D. Wheeler; assistants, Mrs. R. K. Harvey, Miss E. B. Slocum, Miss Cornelia P. Sims, Miss Jennie Seykora, and Miss Carrie Kvaus. Mr. Wheeler is a gentleman of high culture and under his able superintendence the new graded school cannot fail to prosper. The Trustees request parents to see \hat their children are present on the first day of the term, in order to facilitate the organization and gradin^ of the school. For rates of tui tJon and other particulars, see advertisement elsewhere in the Herald. Personal —Colonel L. 31. Black arrived from Fort Shaw yesterday. —Maj. J. S. Woods, agent for the Black fret Indians, accompanied by John liains 1 ore!, arrived Saturday night. —Mr. Murphy, of the firm of Murphy, Roach A Co., Butte City, has been stopping ia town for several days past. —Mr. E. Redding, of Claucey, gave us a rail to-day. It was the old, old story—that he could not get along and prosper without the Hera i d as a guide—and hence renewed his subscription for another year, commenc ing March 1st, 187G. Everybody will be apt to take the Herald during the Centennial year. BREVITIES. —Mr. John Oakes arrived yesterday from Hellgate with a load of corn meal from corn grown on his splendid farm, six miles above Canyon Ferry. —One of the Latter Day Saints has an old -Milanese dancing girl for one of his wives, and Brigham Young's cook is an Italian who ovv ns a small harem ot twenty-eight wives. ~~They have found a petrified Mormon in *-tab, and from the number of dents in his head, evidently made with a poker and fiat ' r ° ü i i# judged that he had at least thirty dire* wives. ^ Dentil of Henry Mayn. A few days ago the Herald gave the par ticulars of a sad accident on the grade going into Benton gulch, by which Henry Mayn received injuries that proved fatal, the unfor tunate young man having died at Camp Ba ker on Wednesday last. Upon receipt of the intelligence, Mr. Chas. Mayn, of this city, immediately started for Camp Baker, but be fore be reached that post his brother had ex pired. The remains were interred on Thurs day, the 9th inst., in the cemetery at the post. Deceased leaves a wife and three children to mourn his untimely end. Mr. Mayn desires to return thanks to Dr. Whitefoot, Post Sur geon, to Wm. Dampier, Hospital Steward, and others, who did all in their power to al leviate the sufferings of his deceased bro ther Look Oat ! The delightfully pleasant weaftier of the past several weeks has not obliterated the memory of the "arctic wedge" experienced in November. It was a T-ice cold visitation— almost unprecedented for the season, from which the country has since been thawing out at its leisure. But here comes the Pro fessor again, and gives the people another warning. "On the 25th and 26th of Decem ber," says this weather prophet, "there will be a great storm." It will be wise to remem ber this prediction, and to be prepared to heed it. From the Daily Herald of December 14. The Y. M. A. Library. The Avant Courier says: "At the ad journed meeting on Tuesday night, a small attendance present, C. L. Clark in the chair, Mr. Koch presented resolutions to the effect that the books be placed in custody of three trustees, for issue, until the possible re-organ ization of the Association, or the formation of some like society, which should not dis criminate in favor of any special class or or ganization. The movable property is to be sold, and tbe funds in the treasury are to be deposited on interest. After some considera tion of said propositions they were adopted, after objection by Dr. Monroe and refusal to vote of J. V. Bogert. The latter reiterated his desire to see the organization maintained and the library thrown open to the use of the schools as well as the public; but he was voted down—and thus the end of the Young Men's Association. Mr. Koch then nominated for trustees, S. W. Langhorne, C. L. Clark and A. D. Mc Pherson, who were elected, Mr. Bogert not voting, as he considered the passage of the resolutions so unanimously as reflecting upon his motives in proposing to replace the books in their original location. The demise of the result of so much work and expenditure is to be regretted, but the action of the meeting was so nearly unani mous that resurrection of the society seems distant. to Personal. —Green Preuitt, returned from Bozeman last night. — B.

Election of Officers. At the regular communication of Helena Council No. 9, Royal and Select Masters, held on the evening of December 13th, 1875, tbe following officers were elected to serve for tbe ensuing Masonic year : T. I. G. M.,—J. R. Boyce, Sr. D. I. G. M.,—W. E. Frederick. P. C. W.,-Wm. McClatchey. Treasurer,—A. M. Holter. Recorder,—Geo. Booker. Rescue of a Surveying Party. The Salt Lake Tribune gives an account of the rescue of one of the United States survey ing parties, under Orville Smith, reported a short time since as having perished in the November snow storm which swept over Utah with such fury. The party reached Heber City on Sunday of last week. The Tribune says: "The gentleman who passed the party while camped on the Du Chein river, at Point of Rocks, left word at Heber City as to their whereabouts, and the good people of that town hastened to their rescue. They were found to be in an extremely peril- ous condition, without food or shelter. Hav- ing devoured their horses' hides and hoofs after their provisions had exhausted, starva- tion stared them in the face. Two of the party on reaching Heber were very low from exhaustion and cold." --W •« I ■ I ►» —^ --- A Coarse of Lectures. The ladies of the Broadway M. E Church are making arrangements for a course of lec- tures, to be delivered in that church on Jan- uary 5th, 12th, 19th and 20th. Prominent gentlemen in the Territory are being engaged, and a rich treat is in store for our people. The names of the lecturers, together with their subjects, will be announced in a few days. To Rename. The Bozeman 7 imes is to be revived early in January by E. S. Wilkinson & Sons, who will depart for the above named place one day this week. The paper will be issued weekly until Eastern Montana may be able to support a daily BREVITIES. —The day for dedicating the new schoo building has been changed from January 1st to 3d. School will open Tuesday, January 4tL. —Desks, chairs, and other appurtenances of the Legislative branch of Territorial gov ernment are on hand, ready for arrangement in the two houses of the Assembly. —The purchase of the News by Mr. Henry Wilkinson and associates—reported recently as about to take place—fell through, owing, we understand, to Mr. Wilkinson's conclu sion to accompany his father to Bozeman to enter upon the re-publication of the Times. Messrs. Travis & Allen keep up the News to its former standard, and is quite as aggres sive as usual in its rival tilt with the Inde pendent. —Keystone Grange No. 4, of Gallatin Co., recently adopted a resolution inviting Mr. Sutherlin to remove his paper, the Husband man ,, to Bozeman. Mr. Sutherlin, we think, can hardly afford to comply. His present location at Diamond city is more central to meet the wants and represent the interests of several counties, including those of Gallatin, Jefferson, Meagher, and Lewis and Clarke. For this reason, and the further one that Bozeman is soon to have another paper, the Times , we are induced to believe, Mr. Suther lin will do better to remain at tbe county seat of Meagher. —The current number of the Madisonian contains a spicy, entertaining sketch of the Bourbon editor. A series of gustatory mots are passing backward and forward between the two Democratic papers, each of them evidently smitten with the lovely qualities of the other. These are sweet meats repasts of which the Herald is forbidden to partake Judge Wilkinson expects soon to take a seat with his brethren at the Democratic round table, or stand up and lunch with them at the political side-board. Remarks, personal and otherwise, will multiply when the judge "shies his castor" into the Deyarmon-Barrett ring. S. a From the Daily Herald of December 15. A Skillful Surgical Operation saves the life of one of our Citizens. It is a matter of pleasure to us to announce the recovery of Mr. Wm. Stipe from his pro longed and severe illness, and his restoration to health. His malady was of such a serious nature that many of his friends despaired of his life, and recommended a change of climate as the only means of relief. But even in this he failed to receive any benefit, and returned to Montana in a more hopeless condition than when he left. Upon his re turn he consulted Dr. Thomas Reece, who promptly advised a surgical operation, as the only means likely to afford him any benefit and save his life. To this Mr. Stipe con sented, and the operation was skillfully and successfully performed by Dr. Reece, assisted by Drs. Bullard and D'Acbeul, resulting in the complete recovery of the patient, and proving conclusively the correctness of the doctor's diagnosis of the case. It is but jus tice to Dr. Reece to say, that to his profes sional skill and close attention to the case, we are enabled to make the above announcement, and we congratulate him upon his eminent success. This is not the first time we have been prompted to notice the pre-eminent suc cess that has attended the Doctor's treatment in many difficult cases, some of which were previously treated by noted physicians else where without success. We therefore con gratulate our citizens in having access to the services of such a skillful physician and sur geon, and our friend Stipe, upon his restora tion to health. Personal. — L. H. Hershfield left for Bozeman yes terday. —Captain James H. Reese, of Upper In dian Creek, is at the International. — W. Y. Cadman, Postmaster at Gallatin City, is registered at the ©verland. —Major John P. Bruce, the veteran journ alist, arrived last night from Bozeman. —I. G. Baker left on the coach this morn ing for St. Louis. He will be absent until spring. —Wells, Fargo & Co.'s "X"-press agent, Beidler, came up by the Southern coach last evening. —John Quirk has been appointed, by Sher iff Walker, Jailer and will enter upon his duties at once. — E. S. Wilkinson and his son, Henry C., left on the coach this morning for Bozeman, to revive the Times. —Dr. Geprge Lambert, of Minnesota, (a brother of Harry Lambert of this city,) ar- rived last evening, and will stop in Helena for a season. --- m *4 44»^ ►» ^ Another lor ''.Y' Beidler. A gentleman from St. Paul, Minnesota—an invalid at starting, and brought seriously low by illness on the stage route to this city—de sires to express in the fullest possible sense his appreciation of the noble, disinterested and unwavering kindness and attention shown him by Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express agent, "X" Beidler, and also to a fellow traveler, Mr. Guyott, a resident of this city, who did every favor that lay in his power to aid him to recovery. Had it not been for the aid thus timely afforded the gentleman believes he would scarcely have made the trip alive. J. one 1st The Yew Paper The Herald's article relating to the resus citation of the Bozemau 77 mes, and the po litical course it will adopt under the manage ment of Judge Wilkinson, is "offensive" to the Bourbon editor, but apparently to no one else. The Herald's statements are backed by excellent authority. We understand Judge Wilkinson to have leased the office and material of Col. Black, and if the Times is sooner or later to take a Democratic stand, as stated to us, it would be offensive to say, as our Bourbon neighbor says, that "Col. Black is the originator of the enterprise." The Colonel is a Republican ; for years past he has uniformly acted with and voted and worked for Republicans, and he will thank no one, we are sure, to associate his name with Democratic plans or politics. The friendly relations between Col. Black and the Herald, existing in personal and political intercourse for years, will find no interrup tion through the inventions of the Bourbon sheet. The pilgrim editor—probably nntici his reward therefor—forgets for the moment to "squib" the Colonel and to substitute laudation instead. The blame is safer than the praise of the Bourbon paper, and Col. Black, like other people, sensibly and wisely construes it in the same light. Catholic Fair. On Monday evening the 27th inst. there will open a fair under the auspices of the adies of Helena, and will continue until after New Year's. Refreshments in every style, including oysters direct from the seaboard, will be served. Dancing will also be in the programme, good music having been secured lor tbe purpose. Tbe proceeds resulting from this bazar will be expended in the com pletion of the new Catholic church. BREVITIES. -Martin 31. Holter has been appointed by tbe County Commissioners, Fire Warden of Helena. 3Ir. Holter will make a careful and efficient officer. —Chloride of lime has been in demand to day, since the appearance of the Independent this morning. Our druggists report a lively traffic in that commodity. —The Committee of Arrangements of the Ladies' Fair have secured the Lavenberg store adjoining International Hall, which will give ample room for terpsichorean amuse ments. —The only Territorial paper outside of Helena, publishing a full text of the Presi dent's 3Iessage, was tue New North- West. It printed the usual amount of reading matter, laying the Message before its readers in a supplement accompanying its regular edition. —The Independent and Madisonian are having a lively personal tilt, in which sarcas tic diatribes are freely exchanged. Wilson first gives a pen picture of Barret, and Barret retorts with a "biographical sketch" of Wil son. The latter is the "smuttiest" and most obscene effusion that we ever saw in a journal professing decency and respectability, and fit only to grace the columns of the Day's Doings , Wild Oats , or Police Gazette. —The "Women's Centennial Executive Committee" propose to issue a "National Cooking Book," and with this end in view desire the ladies of the States and Territories to forward their receipts for favorite dishes. No receipt will be considered too harmless if characteristic of the country. Dishes pecu- liar to rich and poor—to hunting, fishing, or i exploring expeditions, or to camp life, etc., | are desired.
