on business visit to our city. lie is NO,
only gay, festive, and full of business, bui
\ reports the Capital in the same condition.

CROPS IN GALLATIN Although gen
orally good, We learn that the frost of Au-
gust 9th severely damaged some of the crops,
especially those in the wet ground near the
rIver. Out of twenty acres of wheat sown by
Mr., hrattcer on the West Gallatin. nearly
the whole was lost, and the barley was con-
sIderably injured.
KELLEY AND THE INDIAS.-FTom the Salt
Lake Telegraph we learn that Kelley, the vi
olinist, with bis one little Indian, is perform
ing az Council Blulis
From Saturdays Daily
THE INDIAN CoUNTRY.-From Mr.. Hubbell,
of the Northwest Fur Co., who has Just re-
turned from Milk river, We learn that the
agency for the Crow and eros Ventres Indi-
ans has been established on Many Peoples
Creek, small stream rising in the Bears Paw
Mountains and emptying into Milk river,
twenty miles above the big bend of the Mari
as. In this vicinity Is said to lie some of
the finest land in the Territory, and upon
which all the productions of this climate can
be raised without irrigation. The grass
l..
miles Is so high TO reach the hUrses' bellies.
Timber is abundant and of good quality. The
government has commenced breaking the
ground for the Indian farms, which are TO be
established, and will soon have this portion
OF the labor completed. At the point named,
Maj Cullen Is about to build the finest post on
the RIVER. 1t will be enclosed 10 n stockade
two hundred feet square and will have con-
nectei with it forty dwelling houses for the
chiefs. Indian news is lively, for all the
tribes seem TO be in motion, a scarcity of
provisions in the rear and a prospect of buffalo
in thu front, seeming 10 be the inducements
for the migrat-ry operations. On Milk river,
at the foot ot the bIg bend, there are eighty
lodges of Sioux that have come up from Rice
and Sully. Twelve days ago a large number
of ChPyennes and Arapahoes came up from
below and Joined the Crows and Gros Ventres
for the purpose of hunting the buffalo, which
are very abundant on Milk river and in the
vicinity of the Little Rocky Mountains. The !
generally, Is overrun by war parties |
Of all the nations, among which TepreL |
.ented the Cheyennes, Piegans, Arapahoes, /
Bloods and Gros Ventres, all /
attracted TO this region by the buffalo. j
There is also a camp of Red River half |
breeds, who have fed from the famine at \
their homes, and are now located Just below |
the big bend of Mix river The Indians have \
sent word TO all the wolf hunters to leave
The country, and that If they find them in |
C. they will not kill them, but will take all |
they have. 1t Is we'll known that these wolf
hunters cause more trouble among the sava-
res than any other class of men, by the in
of whiskey and their generally
eckless department. Ii was, therefore, pro-
-ided In the treaty, that they should be ex-
;luded from the country. On his return from
he reservation, Mr.. Hubbell met three war
,arties of the Gros Ventres and AssinebOines,
III of whom seemed very friendly and offered
10 molestation. A number of trains are now
m their way from Benton TO Milk river for
he purpose of bringing mp goods left at
ne latter point. Lieutenant Townsend re-
emily started from Camp Cook to Fort Bu-
ord, with seventy head of government horses
or the use of the latter post.
PERsoxAL.-By yesterdays Bentoa coach
here arrived in this city Maj. Cullen, Captain
'ope and Mr.. Hubbell of the Northwest Fur
%. There was only one broken leg in the
,arty of which Maj. Cullen was the unfortun-
te possessor. Aside from that he is in a well
,reserved condition, and as jovial as ever.
apt. Pope reports everything quiet at Fort
,haw, and consequently no news. Mr.. Hub /
ell has Just returned from Milk River and 1
lives US some interesting items from that To- i
.ality, Which We publish elsewhere. We are /
,appy TO meet you gentlemen, and In the alb /
ence of any municipal organization TO be-
tow upon you the meTited honors, extend TO I
-ou the freedom OF the city.
EpwARns STREET ExTESsIoS.-The grading |
IF the extension of Edwards street. on the Z
vest side OF CIore, is being rapidly proseeu-
ed, and another week will see one of the |
inest streets in the city opened as far as the |
elegant residence of John Ming. The fire. |
,uent explosions heard by our citizens during |
he day are caused by the blasting of rocks, |
made necessary by the opening of this street, |
md by .he construction of the FIRE proof for |
Messrs. VIM. II. Weimer & Co, near by.
CoxcERSING THE FAIR.-we call the espe- |
,ial attention of our readers TO the sugges- !
lions of the Executive Committee having in |
charge the preparations for the Fair. These |
ruggestions, which appear in another column,
ihould be acted upon by all having the |
welfare of the Territory at heart The state
nent that the various stage lines have agreed |
10 carry passengers for half price during the
week of the Fair, reflects great credit upon
our public carriers. Their generosity will be |
by the people and such vail be
The rush of travel that the stages will be the
gamers rather than losers by the operation.
