reservation recently set apart by the Presi-
dent for the occupation and use of tie Gros

the order withdraws from sale and settlement

vation at present occupied by the several In
dian tribes named. We append the order:

STEPS are being taken by several OF the
state and kingdoms Of Europe to effect an ex-
tensive substitution of gold for silver in cur
rent use as circulating medium. There has
been recently issued in Germany lila, 4Oo,-
600 marks in gold coin, and still greater
amount is to be put in circulation. A mark
is equivalent to 6fty-four cents Belgium is
putting out gold coin at the rate of 5O,OOO'-
600 francs annually. In Holland, $3.50, ,O0O,-
600 gold coin is needed, and France import
ed last year 431, ,064, 600 francs worth of gold
more than she exported. Of course such
movements will materially affect the relative
market value of gold and silver in the mar
kets of the world.

From the B0zenn01l Courier, April So
A few persons propose going to the Black
Hills by the way Of the Clark's Fork mines.
More hides have been brought into Boze-
man during the past two weeks than there
have been during any year since the settle
ment of Bozeman.
Those who have paid their respects to the
National Park will be surprised to learn that
during the winter immense jets Of steam or
smoke hayc been seen issuing from or near
the summit of Mount Washburne.
We learn that the winter wheat on the East
Gallatin is looking finely. The damage done
to this crop in this valley is confined princi-
pally to the ranches on the south side, and it
is not near so great as at first supposed.
The Bannacks have all passed through
Bozeman on their way to Virginia, notwith-
standing the report that they proposed going
to the Black Hills. In conversation with q
Bannack geologist, he stated that his people
were not to be deluded by the reports of cast
ern papers; and further, that though he had
never been in the country, still he knew there
was no gold there, for the simple reason that
the country was of the Darwinian age, and
consequently the non-existencc of igneous,
carboniferous and saline rocks precluded the
idea of gold existing in the Huronic period
infested with mollusca gymnogens, and-and
that's all he said. Eastern papers must not
contradict this. If they do wc will set Hay
den and the other geologist on them.

almost hideous to look upon, being very like

into their sockets, and his hands had shrivel-

vious to his death the old man had slept un-

Correction.

| In the HELENA HERALD's statement OF the
indebtedness, decrease or increase OF the in
debtedness of the several counties of the Ter
ritory, which VIC published last week, and
which purported to have been compiled from
| the report of the Territorial Auditor to Gov
ernor Potts, an error is made in the matter OF
| the Indebtedness of Jefferson county, which
it is due to that county should be corrected.
In the statement referred to, the Indebtedness
of jefferson county on March l, 1875, is given
at S54,S48 90, and the increase during the
year at $5,566 %, while from the published
exhibit Of receipts and expenses, the total
Indebtedness on that date is shown to be but
$51. 1868 6S, and the increase $2,6SS n.
From the Indebtedness or surplus Of the sew
eral funds, as shown in the ''Recapitulation,
in the published exhibit, the total indebted
ness would be $51 1926 4S, but discrepancy
between the footings of the itimized state
ment of liabilities issued against the General
Fund $50, 900 50-and the sum of the same
fund as appears in ecapitulation--$9,'o 100 5o-
accounts for the difference Of $142 ~.
When it is taken into consideration that no
less than seven expensive criminal cases have
been tried in the county during the year, one
alone costing between three and four thou
sand dollars, the showing is good and speaks
we'll for the management Of the finances of
the county, iNadiso,1ian, Nay1.
EDITOR Misunderstanding to the article
in the lMu0iso1lian of the list inst, | have to
say-that sec. 3, page $50, codified statutes,
requires an annual statement of County Con-
missioncrs of the debt Of their respective
counties for the preceding year. The JEFF
ferson county statement was received by me,
and upon examination found the total in
debtedness of the General Fund to March /,
1876, to be $54,848 20. Believing that to be
the entire debt of the county, and summed
up as required by law, so reported to the
Governor. l find, however, upon further
examination, that the statement does not give
the entire debt as required, but gives only a
detailed statement. Deducting then the cred
its given to the different funds, the statement
made bv the Madisoniaaa is correct.

more than month ago our lady infof-

While there her father called her into an

why he kept such mournfuf reminders,
Of the end Of man in his house, and for
whom were they intended His only
reply, as be pointed to the collins, ''oae
is for mc'and the other for you" There
was nothing of the usual feelings of ter

dream made little Impression on her
mind at the time. But week scarcely
elapsed before she was summon ID to the
