THE Rocky MOUNTAIN VocALrsTs-THE
CONCERT LAST NIGHT.--The first concert of
the Rocky Mountain Vocalists was given at
Odell & Chapman's Hall last evening, and
although the streets were in very muddy
condition, the attendance was large, embrac-
ing the best people Of the city, both ladies
and gentlemen. re say that the entertain
ment was a success, calling forth the highest
encomiums of praise, from the large and APP
preciative audience, would not render it ade-t
quate justice. The fact that every piece was
eneored and re-encored, and finally general
request made that the performance be repeat
ed tonight. are better evidences Of the man
ner in which it was received. The troupe
consists Of four finished vocalists, two being
also the finest musicians we have had the
pleasure Of listening to in the mountains.
Mr.. w. Z. Isaacs, the leader, is, A gentleman
of fine natural musical gifts, which lave been
most studiously cultivated. rendering him III
artistic of high order. The same may be
said of his brother, Mr.. Il. G. Isaacs. MessEs..
llatt aud Owen possess remarkably fine
voices, well cultivated and under complete
control. The entertainment consisted of
solos, Duets, quartettcs, ETC., embracing ma
tional, sentimental and comic pieces, some
very difficult of execution, but all rendered IN
an admirable manner, eliciting frequent
rounds of applause and the eNnrcssion.of SEN
timents of the highest Communications. If
our citizens let the boys go, they will visit
Radersburg the latter part of the week, and
also Helena, from which place they will con-
tinue their wanderings indefinitely, giving
all an opportunity Of enjoying their sweet
harmonious melodies, blending with the most
touching and exquisite instrumental music
We: do not write this notice III the split that
such notices are usually written, but as just
tribute to merit. The company is composed
Of gentlemen, and they possess the intrinsic
merit to justify them in asking. aud render
them worthy of receiving, the patronage Of
the people.

LOCAL. CHIPS.

The melting snow has sent torrents o.
water rushing down the streams.
Trains loaded with hay are daily passing
through Bozeman to Fort EIis. filling con
tracts.
The season of spare ribs and sausage, souse,
etc.. is here, as also the edibles.
The roads are in very heavy condition,
but the coaches manage to drag through on
time.
G. II, Campbell, Esq, of Gallatin City, ar
rived in the city Saturday and remained until
Monday.
The snow in places seems to have quite an
affection for mother earth, the way it hugs
her.
The Cash Store of A. N. & e. G. Tanner is
doing heavy business. Cash makes low
prices, and low prices make quick sales.
Col Black purchased ranch near town,
adjoining III. c. Crowell, which he is now
having piowed, and will soon enclose with q
good board fence.
Although subject to the criticizing gaze Of
numerous strangers. BoZeman has not its
holiday attire on. Nevertheless we think she
will pass muster.
Mr...E. G. lsaacs, recently connected with
the Helena Herald as compositor, came
over on Friday last, and is now delighting
our citizens as a member of the : Rocky
Mountain Vocalists.n
Mr.. W. II. Randall returned from the Mis-
souri, Saturday, where he spent several days
on business. He also extended his visit to
some of the wonderful warm springs in that
locality.
Mr.. w. Fl. Babcock, one of the first settlers
of Bozeman, and among our largest real es-
tate owners, has disposed of all his property
here and left yesterday for Blue Earth City,
where he will remain indefinitely. Mr.. B.
has been one Of our best citizens, and real
lied well pecuniarily while here. Failing
health, we believe, was the cause Of his leav-
ing. He carries the good will OF our people.
We have talked some recently; have ex-
tolled the merits Of our paper, setting forth
its claims as all advertising medium, its in
colnpaniohship these long even
ings, and the duty of every one to support

scratch when solicited, but we arc now busy
indoors; a number OF good men in this
county have not vet subscribed, and are only
waiting to be, asked. We cordially Invite all

sponsible gentlemen that liberal purses are
now being raised for the opening races of the
season, which will take place over the Boze-
man Course, on or about the 25th inst. The

ssow.-We have had heavy. fall of snow
commencing Saturday night about ten
O'Clock 1t fell continuously through the hight
and all day Sunday, and did not let up until
sometime Sunday night. The amount Of
snow falling was very large. which melted
fast, on account of the moist condition of the
earth from he recent raiE. About four
inches managed to stick, which is disappear
ing like mist before themorning sun, leaving
our streets in horrible muddy condition,
rendering them almost impossible.

YELLowsroNE VIsIToRs. - On Saturday
evening last, a party of gentlemen, consisting
Of Drs. /. s. Peck, Messrs. Hyde and Young,
passed through Bozeman en- route for the
Yellowstone Valley. They visit the valley,
some for the purpose Of looking up desi-
rable location, and others to view the mag
niticent scenery, and angle for The famous
trout that sport in the Yellowstone river.
The visit of these gentlemen to section in
which we are all interested in seeing speedily
settled and developed, representing intelli-
gence and capital, is significant, and we are
satisfied that the numerous substantial at
fractions of that valley will result in more
than merely fishing excursion.

AELESA.--The best evidence Of the disability
and progress Of town is in it's recuperatiye
powers after y fire. Two years ago the best
portion Of Helena was destroyed by fire, and
Immediately the work of reconstruction was
commenced. and hone but the most substan-
Stisl buildings were erected. m place Of the
Eformer dininutfve frame building Of the In
3ternational Hotel, a magnificent three story
1brick was erected, and the same marked inn
Fproyement was visible In all the buildings.
Little better than week ago. another disas-
Strous conflagration swept away ten miscella-
Eneous buildings on Main street Ia that city,
and already the enterprising citizens Of Hell
8ena are talking Of replacing the burnt dis
KIrict with q stone block.

The heavy fall of snow was untimely for
the praiscworthy citizens engaged in leveling
aud otherwise improving the condition of our
principal tboroughfares. They had hardly
completed the job, and the snow has left the
street in a bad condition; but their action is
none the less plausible for that unfortu-
nate event in this respect.

An EXTENSIVE SALE.--The largest sale in
the mercantile line which has come under
otir observation in this Territory was effected
in this place last week. Col. L. NJ. Black,
who has been acknowledged the merchant
prince of Montana, on Wednesday last sold
his extensive stock of merchandise in Boze-
man to the firm of A. Lamme & Co, hereto
fore one Of the leading mercantile houses OF
our city. The stock consisted OF the largest
importation probably ever brought to the
mountains, and although many will un,
doubtedly regret the retirement Of Col. Black
from the business, his liberality and fair deal
ing having secured the good opinion of ali-
they will be gratifed that the stock has fallen
into the hands of A. Lamme q Co., the old
est and most substantial firm In Bozeman.
We are glad to announce authoritatively that
this sale does not retire Col. Black, whose
name has been synonymous with the growth
and prosperity Of Bozeman, from business,
but that he will shortly embark in a business
requiring the use OF fully as much capital,
with less details and complications, and suTr'
plying a demand for some time sorely felt in
Bozeman. Col. Black will not relax his eff
forts ia building up our city, every street Of
which already bears evidence of his enter
prise and Eberaifty.
