Montana.

T. B. Pitcher, arrived in this city, a few
days since, twenty eight days from BIackfoot,
Montana Territory. This gentleman reports
the Territory in prosperous condition, and
the miners generally doing well. Legal ten
ders are going at par only in the whisky
saloons. Bankers are paying SOC and selling
for 90c. There is an ample supply of -four
for the winter, and the prospect of large
surplus in the spring, reports to the contrary
Notwithstanding. There are twenty quartz
mills, of from to l2 stamps each, in opera.
ton in the Territory, aud large number
under contract to be built the coming season.
Last season lump Of quartz gold weigh,
ing % pounds was found at the Snow Shoe
gulch, which was sold for So Oo0
This is an unusually severe winter, and
Mr.. Pitcher found the roads in an almost
inpassable condition. He travelled the en-
tire distance from Blackfoot to strawberry
Valley, California, in sleighs, or in boxes
drawn on runners. The stage drivers are
compelled to use great care to avoid freez-
ing, frequently using their bare hands to
thaw their eyelids apart.
The Vigilance Committee have succeeded
in breaking up the formidable gangs of high.
waymen who have been the terror of travel
ers the past season; those caught are sum
marily hanged; and those at large have gone
10 safer localities.
The distance from Salt Lake to Virginia,
Montana is about 500 miles; from Virginia
10 Helena, 1873 miles; and from Helena to
BIackfoot, 40 miles. The stage fare from
Blackfoot to San Francisco is about 1925,
gold; while meals on the road are from so
cents to 81; other expenses in proportion.
A large immigration from the East is ex-
pected in the spring, and many of our old
California miners, who "have toiIed and
taken nothing" are making arrangements to
90 as soon as the season will permit. The
future OF this rich country is most promising.

While couple we're being married in
Preston Church, Eng and) recently, the
mother of the young lady, who was under
age, rushed into the church and forbade the
wedding. The minister at once stopped the
service, and though the bridegroom had just
pronounced the words" With this ring
thee we'd" declared that no legal marriage
had taken place. Since then however, the
matter has been discussed at meeting Of
the clergy, and the unanimous decision
they arrived at was that the couple had bee q
properly and lawfully married according 10
the rites Of the church. The point is very
tick'ish one, and will probably have to be
