HELENA REDUcrIos WORKS.

On a recent visit to Helena, we had the
pleasure Of viewing these works, while in OPP
Grafton, and of witnessing the system of GU
pelation adopted BY Dir. Rumley. While
the whole nsodus operaadi was as mysterious
and ipcomprehensible to us as the manner OF
printing newspapers ~ to Crow Indian,
the results obtained IN the shape of nearly
$1,000 in solid silver, in a weeks run, fol-
lowed by almost an equal amount the next
week, satisfied us Of their success. and Of
their value to Helena. The people Of Helena
certainly deserve to be rewarded for their en-
terprise and pluck in the establishment OF
these works by the success which has marked
their progress from the beginning. The in
fluence of this enterprise is not confined to
Helena, but extends to every quartz mining
district in the Territory. 1t has stimulated
quartz miners to develop their hedges and en-
outraged Others to prospect tor hew ones.
1t has been the means Of discovering some
valuable silver mines near Helena, rs well as

BOutweIls Wall Street Ring,

The World is showing how intimate
ly the Secretary of the Treasury is con-
pected with Wall street clTaues, espe-
cially IN regard to the discreditable and
omineus events the past week. The
editor says: "Thst it was Mr.. Bout
we'll who dictated the recent extraordin-
ary attempt of one Of The banks to &c
cure the advantage without incurring
the penalty of voluntary bankruptcy,
is not on.y matter of commGn runner, it
is made more than probable by a variety
of circumstances. The bank in ques
ton, for example, has for long time
past notoriously demanded greenhacks
on all transactions with another bank in
the Clearing house, and it is inconceiv.
able, is it not, that any respectable fnan-
cier would refuse to creditor what he
sternly insisted on from debtor, were
he not forced so 70 do by an authority
to which he felt bound to submit ~ In
view of these and similar other facts,
the World is persuaded that "Mr. Bout
wells dominant purpose now obviously
is, by all means, and at all hazards, to
postpone, if possble,the financial crisis,
which his carelessness, and ignorance,
and favoritism have been preparing un-
til after the Presidential election. What
else can account for his open and scan.

matter of the falling away of the New

we need not say, that the course he is
pursuing is precisely calculated to accel-
crate and not to adjourn the catastrophe
he deprecates."

The Corn Crop In the West.

From observations made during a re-
cert trip through portions of this State
Indiana and Ohio, we are inclined to
the opinion that the present matdrine
crop will be the largest ever raised ir
the western country. Farmers In Ipdi
ana appear TO have apportioned more
Chan the usual amount of land to this
cereal, and the railroads appear to pass
through one continuous cornfeld: The
greater portion of the crop is entirely
out of danger from frost, and promises
an abundant yield. Near Lafayette, In
diana, 10000 acres of corn in one tract
was noticed We were informed that
farmers in the vicinity of Cincinnati
were contracting their corn quite freely
for future delivery.-Chicago Inter

CUTrING AFFRAY-At New Mataliot.
as, Washington county, on the I'd inst,
a young man named FRED KETTE cut a
bully named JOHN WINToN with knife
inficting serious wounds. 1t appears
that WINToN had followed KETfE around
the town, hitting and abusing him, and
had gone so far as to throw KETTE to
the ground and beat him; kettle en-
treated to be let alone, and finally warn
ed WINToN that he must desist from his
bullying. WINToN, being much lar
ger man, paid no attention to KETTB's
entreaties, and finally KETTE drew 6
knife and inflicted six serious wounds.
The opinion of all who were cognizanl
of all the circumstances, was that WIN
TON got about what he deserved. KET.
TIE was bound over to Court in the sum
of 1000.
