BUSINESS IN MATRIMONY.

The New Orleans Picayunc relates
the following. The Bradshaw alluded
to is, we believe, the publisher of a
paper devoted exclusively to the bust
ness of matrimony:
Are those gay widowers and middle
aged gentlemen of New Orleans aware
that the yonug ladies to whom they
pay attention are in the habit Of appeal
ing to Bradshaw for statistics: Such
is the fact, at any rate. Only a few
days ago we heard one of the most
innocent looking ofgirls say, with refer
ence to Il certain elderly gallant of her
acquaintance, "Oh, 1 know; Bradshaw
puts him down at 81 1000. c."
It's good thing to subscribe to Brad
shaw. Several promising messalliances
have been prevented by Conformation
received' i'll this way. Not long ago Il
stern parent instituted inquiries touch
ing party who was seriously affecting
his daughter. The party looked well,
talked well, cut Il tremendous figure,
atmospheric to a degree seldom seen
except in a hotel clerk but Bradshaw
said: stBad lot; no money; fond of
! liquor; plays cards Sunday; has a wife
and five children West; once forged
his uncle's name, but got the matter
quieted on account of the family"
Bradshaw's candor is appalling.

The remains of that noted revival
preacher Lorenzo Dow, wko died in
1884, and was buried by his brother
Free Masons, were unearthed last week
as their resting place is to be sold in
building lots. Theskeleton was perfect,
and on the breast bone lay the long
white beard. A portion Of the camlet
wrapper in which he was buried was
undecayed. The remains We're rec
inferred in Oak Hill Cemetery in
Georgetown, where Dow used to preach
during his lifetime. 1t is rumored,
however, that his relatives will en-
deavor to have his remains returned to
Connecticut, his native State.

MALs.-Major Pease. late Agent of the Crow
Indians. having made these Indians the most
tractable in the West, also directed his at
tention to DEMONSTRATING the wild animals in
dixenous to the Yellowstone country. and has
now on his ranch q number Of buffalo and
slk, moose and several other kinds Of ami
mails. Some of the elk are now in town,
undergoing the process of breaking to the
harness. and we have several times noticed
them during the past week going through
town hitched to sleigh. When thoroughly
broken, the Major will have the finest turn
out in the country.

THERE Is no question that there will be
several thousand head Of cattle driven from
Montana to the railroad, Is 1t Is pretty certain
to pay well. Take the surplus beef cattle to
other markets and It will give increased value
to those left In tho Territory. However,
when the business Of exporting cattle begins
1t will he Kept up from year to year; as we
can raise beef cheaper than almost anywhere
else. Then Our beef Is OF Z far better quality
than Texas furnishes, and better prices will
Be secured. Cattle raising can be done with
more profit than any other business In which
the farmer engages. Prices are much lower
than In former years in Montana, bat when
cattle are driven to market, and demand
created, the business viii pay finely In the
future.

LABOR, It is said, is Poorly paid in Montana,
and work is scarce. Our experience is, that
men will not work unless they can get two
prices for what they do. Ask man to do
carpenters work for you, and he wants six
dollars day. Ask brick mason to do a job
and he figures the work at the rate Of ten dol.
lars per day, and 20 Of almost every descrip.
ton OF employment. There wouldsbc any
amount Of employment for idle men If they
were only willing to work for prices CORES
ponding with the times. Labor, except on
the farms, Is as high now Is II was In 1866
and 1850, when the placer mines were rich.
Thls Is our experience. Many men would
make Improvements If wages vert not 10 In
tolerably high. Il won:d bs much better for
workmcn now idle and who make loud COM
plants II. they would lower their figures
They would find m abundance Of profitable
work If they would pursue this course.

RUMoRs are floating about in Bozeman OF
contemplated unions for lite. II we should
believe all the reports, there would be very
fe1 single folks left ihtLe place after the first
week in June, If true. some young ladies
now wearing short dresses will have to leave
them of. for the rumor includes several that
arc wearing them In their attendance 1t
school. We trust that all such pleasant affairs
will be postponed till the terms Of the pres.
cnt schools terminate. Well, when these
things transpire we wish to be on hand. and
partake Of the good things provided on such
happy occasions. If the number of marriages

few empty houses, "and the glass in the win

MIDDLE CREEK, II. r. March 10 1874,
EDrroR AvAxr CouR1ER: notice in your
last issue communication over the signature
Of ''yalIey Farmer" Nov 10 not wish to
interfere with your exposure Of the fallscy
Of the WRITER'S statements, but should like
to ask this Unconstitutional croaker." Is you
justly term HIN, few questions. He says :
From articles In your paper, people at a
distance would lie led to believe that the peo-
pie Of Montana were now a. they were . few
years ago, prosperous, thrifty. contented and
happy when, with very, very large majority,
inst the contrary IS the cajc.',
Now. Mr.. Croaker, why Is It that when
visit my neighbors that find their tables
more bountifully spread with the neccssaries
and luxuries Of lite than they were few
years agoi Why do find them better clothed
than they were few years agos Why do I
iidd them possessing boEses, cattle and hogs
in greater abundance than they did few
years agoP Why do find them living in
comfortable houses, when in those haleyon
days Of ''few years ago" they lived In log
huts Sxl0 carpeted with piece of Mother
Earth Of the same dimensions, and living on
what they termed "Elk straightT' Again,
why is 1t that the most substantial improve
mcnts amongst the farmers have been made
within the last three years-those three years
Of which ''Vallcy Farmer complains so Bit
terlyf Now. II ssCroaker'' will explain why
these things are so-and tile country at the
same time going to ruin-thcn perhaps sensi-
bic men will take stock in his dismal croak-
ings, and when tue good people Of Gallatin
county shall choose members for our Terri
torial Legislature again they may be induced
to send ''vslley Farmer" that he, by his wis
dom and sagacity, may devise ways and
means to have the people prosperous and
happy" without any Of those little exertions
necessary to the placing of them in such con-
dition. such as thrift, economy, labor, &C. |
Now, will venture to say that in oil the |
broad cxpanse of our country there are no
people, as a community, more prosperous |
and happy than the people of Gallatin VAL |
lev, and If they will only do their duty, and |
have reasonable amountot patience, glo- |
rious future awaits our Territory.

One Fnller, whom she Montanan repro
sents as Agent of the Banpacks at Lembi.
arrived in Virginia City from the Crow
Agency recently, and tells the reporter Of
that paper that mo apprehension of trouble
from the Sioux exists at the Crow Agency,
or in that direction; and that the man re-
ported to have been killed in the Judith Ba-
sin by Indians has turned up alive aud well,
not knowing he was dead until he saw the
report of it in the papers," Whether apprc-
hensidn ct trouble from the Sioux exists at
the Agency or not, it does not lessen the prob
ability of their appearance in that vicinity at
any day, and W would not give much for the
hair Of any pale faces Who come in their way.
DR.. Wright, the Grow Agent, received dis
patch from Gen. Sheridan. just about the
time Fuller left the Mission, stating that the
Sioux were moving in that direction, and
possibly that may have hastcned his dcrar:
ture from the Agency. As to the death of
the man reported killed by the Indians there
can be no doubt. We have it from unques-
tionable authority that he was shot three
times, and after lying dead two days he was
buried under four feet Of Judith Basin soil,
and if he is now wandering oyer the earth it
is in spiritual state. Dispassionately con-
sideripg the circumstances above stated we
are forced to the conclusion that Fuller has
lied.

ing Fort Laramie will push their way as far

direction may be the means Of driving the
Sioux in on Eastern Montana, as was feared
