WE E n our devil" over, last week, to
scatter a few numbers of our little journal
among the people of the Metropolis. 1t was
a little wicked in us, to turn this King Of
Rlackness loose among the quiet people OF
our neighboring city, but the result has
proved entirely satisfactory to this office, as
4 reference to our advertising columns will
indicate. To those representatives of the
trade of Helena we respectfully call the at
tention of our readers:
The firm of j. r. Boyce s. CO., the senior
member of which was one OF our first ac-
uuaintances in the Territory, inserts in this
issue a few lines to the dry goods trade,
which those interested will find to their in
terest to heed.
Mayn & Hoffman, formerly merchants OF
this place, well known and popular, call
attention to their stock, which is highly
worthy the attention of the public.
Joseph Hosky, Of the Farmers Stable, is
conveniently located Oh lower Main street,
in a large, new building. Mr.. I'll. being a
farmer and harvesting his own feed, is ena-
bled to offer accommodations that defy COM
petition.
Elsewhere may be found the notice Of the
well known house Of Sands Bros, n Of the
Oldest firms in Montana. They were in
business in Virginia City at an early day,
and in Helena since its foundation. They
offer extra inducements to cash buyers.

OUR Nimrods had a little sporuon Thanks
giving, of which our friend DR. - was
the victim. The Doctor being a splendid
marksman and d%elightiug in ths sport, the
boys thought they would haveIa little fun
at his expense. So a chicken was procured,
nailed up in a box with head out, as usually
arranged for shooting matches. and repair
ing to a place selected for the purpose, with
guns, the boys began shooting. The Doc
tor, hearing the noise, seized bis gun and
hurried to the scene, and the Inferior marks
men stepped aside. It was ten cents q shot
and blood counted a chicken. The Doctor
leveled and fired. The man atthe box sig
nailed no blood. Again and again he fired,
when finally, the head was all gone and the
neck shaved off smooth with the box, the
signal man cried out, "Doctor, you have
knocked him stiff and sure enough, the
chicken was stiff-frozen stiff us d bone.
We would not advise any of Il friends to
say 8 chicken" to the Doctor. 1t amt safe.

Valley, Meagher county, have just arrived
from Oregon with their flock Of sheep num-
bering about 1000 head. These gentlemen
started early and have spent the summer on
the road, travelling slowly, their sheep, in
consequence are in good condition to stand
the change of climate.
Mr.. MCFADDEN informs us that the grain
yield in the Missouri Valley is much less
than was expected, the turnouts from the
thresher being below the lowest estimate of
the farmers at harvest time. There is an
abundance of straw, but the grain was eaten
off by the 'hoppers just as it was ripening.
Mr.. M. places the yield of wheat and oats at
about one-third of a crop.
Messrs. Thompson, Smith and Sterling
c%orroborate the above statement, and there
seems to be no probability that grain will
decline; on the contrary, should the price
vary from the present average, we predict
all upward tendency.
There is no probability Of a grain famine,
there being doubtless enough to satisfy the
demand, but by no means a surplus. We
hope to soon hear from other parts of the
Territory in regard to the yield Of wheat
and oats.
We are indebted to Mr.. Ed. Sayre, who
is just in from the MusclesheI, for the fol-
lowing items:
a driver IN the n. z. stage line was over
taken in a storm near Judith Gap, and lay
out all night, freezing his right hand severely.
He came in to Camp Baker, had his hand
dressed by DR.. Whitefoot, and is now doing
well.
Tom Clarie, wagon master Of the Diamond
r. lost thirty-tiye head of cattle, last week,
near the forks of the Muscleshell. Ten or
fifteen of the old ones persisted in q storm.
The loss of the remainder was occasioned by
the herd stampeding over a bank into tIe
creek and chilling to death. Several old
mules also persisted in the storm.
Musclesheli valley is full of stock cattle.
all OF Which are looking fine and fat.
There are three Diamond r. trains at the
forks, loaded with ore. en- route for Carroll,
Magonegall, of Missouri valley, loaded with
oats and potatoes for Murphy & Neal, was
also caught in the storm at the forks and had
his potatoes frozen.
There are at present, about ten thousand
head Of cattle in the Muscleshell valley. and
more continually coming in; principally
from the Jefferson, Boulder ard Pipestone
valleys.

SPEAK GENTLY.

Speak gently, it is better far
To rule by love than fear;
Speak gently, let no harsh words mar
The good We might do here.
Speak gently, Love doth whisper low
The VOWS that true hearts bind.
And gently friendships accents flow
Affections voice is kind.
Speak gently to the little child;
It's love be sure TO gain;
Teach 1t in accents soft and mid,
1t may not long remain.
Speak gently to the young, for they
VIII have enough to bear;
Pass through the world as best they may
'Tis full of anxious care.
Speak gently to the aged one;
Grieve not the Care-wOrn heart:
The sands of life are nearly run.
Let such in peace depart.
Speak gently, kindly to the poor;
Let no harsh tone be heard;
They have enough they must endure,
Without an unkind word.
Speak gently to the erring; know
They may have tOiled in vain;
Perchance unkindnesS made them so:
Oh. win them back again:
Speak gently; He who gave His life
To bend mans stubborn will,
When elements were fierce in strife,
Said to them, Peace, be still''
Speak gently: 'Tis little thiDg
Dropped in the hearts deep well;
The good, the joy that it may bring,
Eternity shall tell.
