Fro m The Daily Of Monday
vIRGINIA CITv IrEMs-From the
Democrat we learn that Bishop TuttIe and
family arrived in Virginia City last week, and
he preached in st. Paul's church yesterday.
He intended coming over in last coach, but
was detained. His coming Will be most
heartily welcomed. Tom c. Stevens has
purchased 200 feet the Iron Rod Lode in
Silver Star District, of r. o. Bailey and l.. ID.
Porter for the sum of 100000. This looks
as though quartz had a value. The Demo-
ocratic Central Committee met in Virginia
December 10, and selected the frst Monday
in June, at IL m, the time, and Helena as
the place to hold the next Democratic Terri
torial Convention. Tom has seen a brick
from the Nolan mill weighing only 361.24
ounces, and goes into convulsiOns, calling il
a nugget" Come over here and you will
see four or five such brought in here every
Monday morning. Neither House have
provided a chaplain. The necessity for one
in each is so great that the neglect to pro-
vide is considered in the capital TO amount TO
a crime. We also think that there should be
one appointed, for though worldly, we also
believe in a christian burial" On the 18th,
Gov. Tufts holds reception. OF all festive
scenes in Montana, the Governors recep-
tIons" are the most enjoyable. The privilege
of participating in one would compensate for
a whole years life in Virginia. We are
glad TO see that General Howie most worthily
represents Helena on the reception commit

HELENA SKATING RINK-This very
popular place of resort is now thoroughly
fitted up and is open to the public. 1t is a
large expanse of Ice, enclosed by high board
fence and provided with rooms in which to
attach skates and rest in. Gentlemanly and
careful assistants are always present to assist
the novices. 1t is carefully swept and flooded
every other night, and is always kept in
splendid condition. Skates of all sizes and
patterns are provided for hire by those in
charge, so that all who attend are not put to
any trouble of hunting after the equipments.
At the solicitation of our citizens who desire
that their families may avail themselves of
this means of exercise, the proprietors have
decided to select Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day as reserved for gentlemen of our city,
their families and friends. The reasons for
making :his rule need not be given, but will
commend themselves to all patrons. All
other days and times the Park is open to the
public, the only restrictions being a proper
observance Of the regulations OF the Park.
OvERLAND.-Wm. II. Taylos ESD,
the popular and ever efficient General Superin-
tendent of Wells. Fargo Co., departed this
city last Sunday morning. accompanied by
his clerk, Mr.. E. S. Barry. Even though Mr..
Taylor is unfortunate IN being compelled TO
work for company that throws all the letter
sacks of and blocks up the rail road with
snow storms, and makes people pay TO ride in
their coaches, he Is right sociaDle gentle
man, an accomplished stager, and universal
favorite. Gov. the Pollinger, slid out into
the darkness toward the Boulder with ball

from DR.. p. AEariah L. rgey, the celebrated

clamps, has so far reco, cred as to be able to
prosecute his journey, with feelings of graft

Y L.-This modern Alladin lamp
in the form of an Y L quartz mill, has again
spoken in a voice. though not so loud, more
potent for our Territory than all Legislators.
Yesterday it cleaned up 400 ounces of gold
from an eight days run, amounting in cur
rency value to about nine thousand dollars.
Such results this ere what we want TO set
Montana In a proper light before the people
who have capitol to invest, and Congress that
is expected to take us by the hand, instead Of
long dissertations in diseased English, on
Federal relations.
