that he has reached the golden mountains of
Montana he proposes TO sojourn a number OF
weeks with us, that he may iusIect our numer-
ous mines, and form the acquaintance of their
owners The Eagle Works are already well
known in this Territory, many quartz mills
and other machinery of their manufacture
having already been brought here, and been
proved by practical demonstration to be OF n
superior quality These works, of which Mr..
=. W. GATES is President, have been founded
over quarter of a century, and have paid e.
pecial attention to the construction of MIN
ing machinery, and have made many improve
ments therein. Among Others il an improved
shoe for stamps, composed almost entirely Of
the very hardest iron, aud which, il is said,
will outwear a dozen shoes of the ordinury
chilled kind. Mr.. Clark has been long in his
business, and thoroughly understands the
same, and all who have the pleasure Of form
ins his Acquaintance will appreciate the fact
that he needs no Recommendation from Us.
Like every superior article, whether animate
or inanimate, he is bis own recommendation.

PREsESrArIoS-A very pleasant affair took
place Saturday morning in this city, which
is not only an honor Co a most estimnble and
accomplished lady, but credit to the gen
tlemen who took on active part in conduct
ing It, large number Of our most inau
ential citizens desiring 60 testify their high
appreciation of Mrs. Charles B-sserer, not
only as a most accomplished lady, but as an
equestrienne of the highest order and most
graceful horsewoman, presented her with n
saddle aud beautifully orna-
mented saddle-cloth. With the greatest
pleasure we insert the following card, which
speaks for itself.
GENTLEMES;-I avail myself of this opPor-
tunity to tender to you my heartfelt thanks,
and profound gratitude for the magnificent
gift you have so generously presented 20 me.
Believe me gentlemen, that deeply appreciate
your kindness, and while memory attends me
ms willing seryitor, shall ever cherish, in
grateful recollection, your kindness, generos-
ity and kind expression of regard and friend
ship. ANNIE c. BESSERER-
d. D.-These cabaIistic letters may be con-
sidered significant of ''drunk and disorderIy,"
or as expressive of ''drunk" with aqualifying
and intensifyiDg prefix, but whichever way
they apply properly to the case of
one Morris, who yesterday challenged the
world at lnrge and Helena in particular, to a
fair fight, the ring TO be formed in the viciu-
ity of the Kiyus on Wood st. He found no
one disposed to "take him up on his chal
lenge, but an officer of the law speedily ''took
him up on the charge of disturbing the
peace, and set him down before Justice
Duke. He was fined FIVE dollars and costs.
He forfeited these "stakes" and went to look
for another "match"-with which to light
his pipe Of peace.
SOME CHEEsE.-Lord Dundreary was
very inquisitive on the cheese question aud
made an ever memorable speech on the cur
died, oOsgulated and pressed production, in the
following words to-wit: off you had broth
er would he like cheesel" Our answer would
be- that if il was manufactured by n. NJ.
Fitch, Esq, and if il was anything like the
generous specimen yesterday donated to the
Posr, he would, for certainly the said offering
could not be excelled in quality in any coun-
try. Mr.. Fitch has already obtained an en-
viable reputation in the cheese manufacturing
line in Montana, and the "sampling" which
we have already done on his gift proves that
be is worthy of it. r ,....
SERIOUS AccTDESr.-As Gen. Howie was
returning from the Fair Grounds after dark,
ON Saturday evening, his horse, which was in
clined to be fractions, and which was going
at rapid rate, stumbled and fell when about
half way home, throwing his rider and severe
ly> brursing him. The General received
painful cut over the right eye, besides sus-
tanning injuries Of the right arm and bip.
bis eye is closed aud much swollen,
he will probably be able to make bis appear
ance upon the street again within few days
The horse, less fortunate, is doubtless ruined.
