A MERITED CoMPLDTENT.-In the
last number of the Masonic TrOpcL the most
prominent organ of the Bl Brotherhood of the mystic
tie" in the United States, nearly Eve columns are
devoted to extracts from the ne address delivered
by r. w John Potter. Deputy Grand Master Of
Montana, at this place, the occasion of the ST.
Johns Day celebration the oath of June last.
The address of Mr. Potter was, at the time of its
delivery, referred To by US as an exceedingly hap.
py effort opinion in which the 7Folccl now CO.
incides. We consider the fact that such volumin-
Gus extracts were made from IL by the journal
mentioned, well merited compliment to the en-
tertaining and instructive character OF the facts
stated and the beautiful language in which they
expressed. In this connection the T0IceI says:
LET every reader of the Troacsl read the extracts
from the address of Bro. Potter, of Montana-every
word. Genius is everywhere, and no small share
in the abodes of civilization among the Rocky
Mountains, and on their immediate slopes.
CLoRE STREET-This street. running
parallel with Main street, the west side Of the

back alley to one the best streets fOr residences
in the city. Among those who have been most in

referred to, of the finest stone buildings lu the
city, edi6ce which, by its superior construction
furnishes anOiber evidence in proof of the skill aud
workmanship of it's builders. We consider Messrs.
Senior s. Mckinney who cannut be excelled
for good work and glad that their enterprise
and energy is meeting its reward in the share of
new demands fnr their services, which constantly
pour in upon them.
