On the 18th instant, Judge J. H.
D. Street, one of the most prominent
citizens of Gallatin County, died sud
denly at Fredericks' Mill, on Willow
Greek, in that county. He was visit
ing at that place, and during the af-
ternoon took part in game of ball
in the grounds adjoining the resi-
dence of Mr.. w. F. Fredericks.
While the game was in progress, he
complained of being fatigued, and
entered the house to lie down and
rest himself, and in few minutes
ceased to exist. Judge Street was a
native of Illinois, and came to Mon
tana in 1865, and has resided in Gal
latin County since that time.

DECALCOMANIE.- This is the name Of a
comparatively new art that is attracting
considerable attention at toe present time.
1t consists In transferring pictures which
have been printed upon paper in high and
beautiful colors to any object one may wish
to ornament, such as fans, work boxes,
vases, flower pots, articles of furniture, &c.
When transferred these pictures look as il
painted upon the article ornamented, and
they are much more attractive and beauti-
full than they would be if painted with
brush, unless executed by very skillful
artist; indeed this beautiful art offers a
complete substitute for the process of hand
painting for most purposes. The pictures
embrace great variety of subjects, such
as heads, landscapes, animals. insects.
flowers, comic figures, &c. The art is easily
acquired, and children even soon become
experts. Transferring these pictures is a
charming pastime for old or young. and
serves to cultivate a taste for the beauti-
full. We have received from j. L. Patten
4 Co., 162 William Street. New York. who
are dealers in transfer pictures, some hand
some samples of their goods. These gen.
tlemen will, for the small sum of ten cents,
send full instructions in this beautiful art
together with ten handsome samples of the
pictures, or for fifty cents they will send
Que hundred attractive pictures.

The Ohio Story in a Nutshell.

The Dayton (Ohio) Democrat, on the
morning after the election, tells the whole
story in a nutshell, as follows:
The reason, in our opinion, is not hard
to find. Three o'clock in the morning is
not the best time to moralize, but if we are
beaten, we have only ourselves to thank.
Instead of making this canvass on the
sound and time -honored principles of the
Democratic party, and charging home on
the Republicans the ineficiency, corrup-
ton and maladministration which has
characterized its course, we chose to array
ourselves in its cast-off garments, and, un-
der the lead of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
attempt to palm them off for spotless
linen, In our opinion, the Democrats
could nave carried the state, beyond doubt,
by 10000 majority, if we had made the
tight on the true issues presented by the
Republican party, in its history for the
last ten years. Last fall, on those issues,
we we're everywhere successful, This
year, by going out of our way to make an
issue on q question not presented by the
facts, and which put US on the defensive
We are badly beaten. or our majorities sc
reduced as to be equivalent to defeat"

How to vanquish the Stomach's

If the Enemy of mankind was permitted to exert
his diabolcal ingenuity in the invention Of new
disease, he could scarcely devise one more worthy
of his genius than dyspepsia The dyspeptic suerre
is tormented by symptoms resembling those of
almost every known malady amp is often worried in
20 monmoania by these conflicting and perplexing
manifestations. A favor though absurd hallucina-
ton OF the victim of chronic indigestion is that he
or she has hesrt disease. Dyspepsia has often
been pronounced incurable, but experince has show
that Hostetters Stomach Bitters will vanqush 1t to
gether with the constipation and bilious derange-
ment which usually accompany it, Disease of the
kidneys and supposed rehmu tic pains are also
frebuent concomitsnts of Dyspepsia but they, too
succumb to the above named invalueable
corrective.

CeaveIand did not commence collecting
taxes until after the law of 1872 went into
force
That law provides for the repeal of the
previous law, but allowed the old commits
sion three per cent? on all work done be-
fore July l. 1872. Cleaveland had done
no work previous to that date and was
therefore entitled to only 2 per cent?
He settled with the county treasurer at
2 per cent
He kept $l6S.O7, which he knew be-
longed to the town treasury. We are now
informed that he was told, at the time,
that it belonged to the town, and if it was
ever discovered he would have to gay it.
He took his chances ON it and kept the
money.
He knew that the collector commissions
on all taxes paid after he got his 81 500
belonged to the town, if the taxes were
paid before he returned his books. If they
were not paid he knew the fees went to the
county treasury, as it was previous to that
office being salaried Office. The facts are
against him and the law is against him.
He got the money and kept it. He knew
it was not his money and he knows it
now. No other conclusion can possibly be
arrived at but that it was a dishonest
transaction. IF there is any other expla-
nation we will gladly give him the benefit
| of it.
