Kleinschmidt recently discovered a valuable silver lode in . the Gravely Ramie District, not far distant from the Lexington lode. The ores from the i former strongly resemble those taken from ! the latter. The appearance of a true fissure j vein is evident The crevice is four feet j wide. Samples of ore brought in yesterday, assayed $1*7 to the ton in silver, with 62 per j cent. lead. A liberal sum was offered yes terday to Mr. Lehman for his interest but he refused to sell, remarking that the lay out was better than the grocery business. The mine at its baptism reeeived the name of Amazon. Judging from its cognomen, it must be a big thin j A Bonanza. There is going the rounds of the Eastern press a statement to the effect that '• a lode has been discovered near Helena, Montana, which yields $24.000 to the tou. It is four j feet wide between the wall-rocks, aud it is ; believed will average throughout $8,000 to , the ton." This undoubtedly refers to the ! LexiDgton lode, of which we made extended j mention in a recent issue. To put a stop to j the many letters of inquiry sent to the own- ; ers of the mine and others concerning this ! great lode, we refer them to the Herald of j the 12th inst. : ---- —■ ------ !

Society has in his possession a copy of the Boston Gazette , of date Monday, March 12th, j 1770. It is in a rather dilapidated condition, ■ ! but notwithstanding its quaint spelling, an- j tique characters, and many rents of time, its j ! contents cun be easily made out. It contains s an account of the famous Boston massacre, j and the funeral ceremonies of the victims. | Its columns are largely occupied by résolu- i tions adopted in neighboring towns, pledging entire non-intercourse with those who im ported or used British goods until the odious duties were removed. The advertisements are as interesting as the rest of the contents. The owner of this relic wants $15 for it, and if the Society has a cent left from publishing the volume now going through the press of Hobt. Clark, of Cincinnati, they would cer tainly have it at some price. As it is, we hope some means will be devised to have it remain in the present hands.

The grasshoppers have not injured the growing crops very much, and the alarm from them is about j over. The farmers have fought them success- i fully nearly everywhere where they threat ened damage. Many farmers in that county It now regret that they did not sow more seed,as ; tfi the prospect for good crops is so fair.

She Saves Five of Her Children from a Watery Grave—The tiltlest One Lost. to it The wife of Jake Smith, a 3Iissouri river ranchman well known in this locality, was recently called upon in the absence of her husband to attend a woman in childbirth. She started upon her errand of charity in a wagon accompanied by her six small children, who were too young f o be left alone. The late violent rain storm was prevailing at the time, and Sun river, which she was obliged to ford, was unusually high and swift The party reached the middle of the ford without acci dent, but her? the current was so fearfully strong that the horses were unable to keep a»eir feet, and they became unmanageable. At the same time the force of the rushing water upset the wagon and left 3Irs. Smith and her six children struggling with the waves. Fortunately, however, the little ones managed to cling to the wagon, which was not completely submerged, and the mother, never losing her presence of mind, at this moment, when the stoutest man might well have despaired, contrived not only to keep herself afloat, but to rescue her youngest child and carry it safely to the shore. The brave mother then swam back to the wagon and saved another of the little ones, and re peated these wonderful feats until five of the six children were rescued. All of them, no doubt, would have been saved, but before the oldest could be reached, the little fellow became exhausted, let go his hold, and was lost.— Record.

T., > | June 11th, 1870. > j To the Editor of the Herald: i In my last letter to you, I gave an account j of the fate of John Galbraith by being j drowned in the Muddy. For several days j that stream was diligently searched for his . remains, by a large number of the residents ! of the valley, but without success. It is most probable that his body has been washed into the Missouri. £On June 2d, the funeral of Ordnance Sar geant O. A. J. Davis, U. S. A., took place at Fort Shaw. The military cortege which fol lowed his remains was grand, and imposing. Many of his brother soldierß wearing the in signia of the Good Templars, and Sons of Jonadab : the deceased having been a mem ber of both orders. His loss is deeply felt in the Post, not only by the length of time he has been resident at Fort Shaw, but also for his good qualities, which endeared him to all. Yesterday the foundation was dug for the new hotel, which,Jwhen completed, will be the j finest brick structure north of Helena. This j will be the pioneer of other buildiugs inteud ! e d to embellish the Crossing. I understand that there is a Ferry e»tab fished over the Marias River, at the crossing ; of the Whoop-up road. ' This supplies a i want which has long been felt, in the passage j of the river during high water, The Military ferry over the Missouri River completely broken.

The follow ing extracts will, perhaps, interest your read ers, as the information is authentic : Camp Near Rosebud River, 31. T.,\ May 29th, 1876. j * * * The mounted detachment of Infantry commanded by Lieut. Bradley, 7th Infantry, crossed the Yellowstone four days ago, on a scouting expedition. They ! rode 59 miles in a day and night, when arriv ing near Lookout Mountain, they suddenly came on a large camp of hostile Sioux of nearly 300 lodges. Arrived on such a form idable force, the little band were compelled to make a retrograde movement, closely fol lowed by the Indians. The troops engaged the enemy three times between that point and the Yellowstone, without sustaining any loss. Arriving in camp, and the movements being reported, the Cavalry were ordered across the river to attack the savages. The crossing, however, at that place could not be effected, owing to the strength of the current, and was abandoned with the lose of four horses, which were drowned. Since that time night alarms are frequent, as the Indians are hovering on our iiaDk. The mud which covers the whole country renders skirmish duty in the night anything but pleasant. We are in expecta tion of the wagon train of supplies arriving ; it is urgently needed, as our rations are getting short forti j j I i It is believed that Sitting Bull has a forti fied camp between Lookout 31ountain and Tongue River, and large Indian camps have been seen in that direction, one of which was of tremendous size. It is estimated that that warrior-chieftain has 2,500 lodges of war riors. A junction of the forces under Gibbon, Crook and Custer is expected in the course of about teu days. A steamboat (Josephine.) ; s now daily ex pected up the river. A boat containing three men has gone down to meet her. From a letter received from the escort of the supply train, the following extract is made: Camp 10 milks below Fort Pease, > 3Iay 31st, 1876. > "The Indians have fired Fort Pease: when our command passed there on the down trip, about half of it was consumed, the ruins of which were still smoking." The round-ups of the Sun River country is still progressing; a large band passing through here yesterday. It is estimated by reliable authority that it will concentrate 30,000 head of cattle ; 3,000 were herded together the other day in one band. It will take about four weeks more to finish. The stock owners seem pleased with the result of the spring work. 3Iessrs. E. G. 3Iaclay and Geo. Steell ar rived here this evening from Benton.

The cheering glow diffused throughout the system bv Hostetler s Stomach Bitters, the elasticity of m:nd and body which they cause ot those vague, uneasy feelings so difficult to describe, are most encouraging symptom? to the desponding invalid. The sensation of returning health is a most delightful one. and to enjoy it, those afflicted with dyspep?ia, liver complaint, constipation, intermittent or remittent fevers, lack of vitality, sleeplessness, rheumatic, nervous and urinary troubles, should avail themselves without delay of this invalable tonic and corrective. Besides being specifi cally adapted to the eradication of these maladies, it is wondrcusly effective in all diseases involving a dimi nution of vital power on account of its properties as a general invigorant.
