Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1876-03-02

from his first christian love, and became remiss IA
the duties of family religion especially, and for .
season walked in comparative darkness; but chas-
tened by the Lord in the sickness and death of his
beloved wife, who had been q sharer with him IN
spiritual and religious joys and labors, as well an
the delight, oracle, and beloved mother to his chill
dren, he clave with renewed fervor to Christ as tho
redeemer and the best portion of his soul. Only .
few days before his decease, Mt the close of a SER
mon by the writer, in Gallatin City, where he re-
sided, having asked permission to say a few words
for Christ, he spoke tenderly and earnestly of the
religion of Jesus-referred to the many conversions
through the blessing of God upon the labors Of
Moody and Sankey, and exhorted christians to
cleave to Christ, and sinners to embrace Him
This we may call his dying testimony, for in the
short space of thirteen days thereafter he died. He
was away from home at the time. He had taken
with him his wife whom he had married nearly
three years since, and their infant daughter, and
made a trip of q few miles to attend to n business
transaction. He had been writing during the day,
and towards evening was resting, when he was at
tacked-probably with heart disease-and only had
a few moments to suffer before death was victor
over his body. I think we may confidently write
of him, :" He has gone to be with Jesus in Para
disc" We may use the words in regard to his
death, which "a voice from heaven spoke to the
Divine of Patmos blessed are the dead which
die in the Lord, from henceforth; yea saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and
their works do follow them.' T.. B. G.

MEMOIR.

Obituary notices of the subject OF this brief me-
~moir-Judge Joseph H. D.. Street-appeared in sew
elal of the newspapers of the Territory soon after
his decease, in November of last year. These spoke
truly of his death as being the removal from society
Of q useful man and honored citizen; an upright
man; one much loved and reverenced by his immc-
diate family, and held in kindly and respectful re-
gard by his acquaintance in general. But as there
were some errors in regard to dates and localities,
we have thought best to preface this memoir with a
short sketch of the life of Judge Street.
He was born ut Wilnut Springs, Henderson cou-
ty, Kentucky, on December Cd, 1872; his father,
Gen. Jos. M. Street, moving to Illinois in 1914,
where Judge Street was educated, at Jacksonville
College. In 1929, he moved to Prairie Du Chem,
Wisconsin, where he resided until 1885, when he
married and settled in Cassville, in the same State,
and remained until 1916, when he moved to Wapello
county, Iowa. During his residence in Wisconsin,
he represented Crawford county in the Legislature.
In the spring Of 1913 he, with a partner, started the
Dcs MOincs Courier, one Of the first newspapers pub
lished in Iowa, and took an active
part in the exciting campaign of that year, which
resulted in the election of Gen. Zachary Taylor to
the Presidency. Judge Street held several positions
of trust during his residence in Iowa, which was
terminated by his removal to Montana in 1865, where
he resided up to the time of his deat III. The chief
object of this memoir is to crafty the higher inqui-
ry of his many friends and kindred, who are them
selves followers of Christ, which is, "Was he
sseadfast and immovable in the faith Of Christ /? al
ways Astounding in the work of the Lord 2" They
know that it is written, He that endurcth to the
end, l will make q pillar in the Temple of my God,
and he shall so no more out forever" In reply
we say: He habitually lived in the society and fell
lowship Of those who loved Jesus-he loved chris.
tim worship, especially prayer, and the singing of
the old hymns, such as There IL Il fountain filled
| with blood, - g Children OF the heavenly King -
etc. Nearly all his life was spent on the frontier Of
our country, and he earnestly assisted in planting
the church in the new settlements. Colportcurs,
Ministers Of the gospel, ard all promoters or chris
tan work and worship, were ever welcome visitors
| TO his iiresidc. After his removal TO Mou.ana, he
! once assured the writer, that for time he declined

MISSOURI VALLEY, Feb. 16, 1876.

MISSOURI VALLEY, Feb. l6, 1876.
DEAR HUsBANDMAN: Knowing with what
devotion you have enlisted every energy in
the cause Of agriculture, and that without
stint you have cast upon the scale every re-
source-physical, mental and financial
deem it nothing more than a duty to you,
myself and our. future progeny, that now
and then a puff of fragrant perfume should
be waited from our I" sweet-scented" valley
up among the hills and rocks to give strength
and vigor to the monotony of bedrock life.
You are not to understand by this, however,
that I consider you down to bedrock. Not
by any means. l have been there, and s'yor
know how it is yourself" that with a sack
of sand in n hand, and with the fore finger
of the other elevated OF a level and at right
angle with the probissis, credit is always at
par, and prospects good in the gravel. So
keep a stiff upper lip, my boy, and preserve
well that fore finger.
Now | want it distinctly understood that
I am no Granger, else this interesting letter
would never have been written. Besides, to
thus represent myself, many would pro-
our me a myth, and perhaps an impos-
tor. This has been tried, you know, in the
Independent, and the boy failed to make con-
~nection, and was kicked out as Il black sheep,
and disowned as one of the fold; therefore,
l shall deny all connection with the Order,
| and see which way the scales turn. Sabe?

The DEVIL.

A B of the Lo family called at one
of our hotels last week and made a contract
with the landlord by which he was to get a
dinner for the sum of fifty cents. The noble
red man loosened his belt, and sat down
with the air of a gladiator, determined to
do his duty. He wrestled with that dinner
in a rapid, strong and effective manner. AT
the end of a half hour, the alarmed boniface
offered him his fifty cents back to quit.
"No; me h-hea-p hungry" 1t was an e
citing scene. The cooks and walters aroused
themselves and worked as though minister
ing to All old-fashioned barbecue or a modern
grange feast. The other party to the mann
mouth contract looked as though he contem-
plated taking advantage of the bankrupt
law. At the end of two hours the landlord
offered the son Of the forest a dollar to re.
linquish his contract. Thinking, perhaps,
he could make a similar contract at the
other hotel, finish his dinner and have fifty
cents left, the redskin took the money and
started out, with his hands on his stomach,
saying ugh! me heap full, heap good
muck-a-muck |" This raid occurred on the
day after the evening on which was given
the excellent ball supper alluded to last
week. Oh, if it had happened the day be.

Helena, December 3, IS. MS%SS
Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1876-03-02

Inc mop given by the Center-ciIlains,. on
the evening of the 14th, was an overwhelm-
ing success-if you know what that is-and
was attended by the elite from one end of
the valley to the other. Even Helena sent
out q delegation consisting of one entire
Ward, and judging from the vim with which
inc boys went in and stripped the light tam
tast1c toe,"I would say 1t Was u rare treat
10 them to get away from the hustle Of city
lie, and mix in with the hustle of a country
dance; and enjoy the h%ealth-giving luxury
of going through with a good, healthy
SDeat. Toward the ace shna' hours, the am
nouncement came from the music stand.
Ladies choose partners for a quadrille."
Now, sir, l fully expected every lady in the
room to make a rush for my corner, and
braced myself as best I could, to resist a
regular onslaught. At the end of five min
utes, began to loosen stays and let out
slack; and finally, at the end of ten minutes.
every set was full, and I found that I had
sustained my position m~anfully. This en-
couraged me in the belief that / had equally
as good an opinion of myself as the ladies
had of me, and enabled me to take adyan-
tage OF the opportunity to slip out and take
a drink. Now will say just here, Mr.. Ed
itor, that If there was a lady in the room
who observed me at that particular time, I
am glad of 1T, for l think it was the first
time | was observed after that internal mu-
slclan made the announcement for ladies to
choose partners. No sir, / have never adyo-
Gated or favored the principle of women
selecting partners at a social gathering, and
never shall. 1t is a stigma and a slur upon
all accepted principles of gallantry a black
spot upon the face of nature a step in the
direction of woman's rights, that should not
be tolerated in any community, and | shall
oppose it to the bitter end.
The Good Templars on Deep creek are
fast increasing their numbers, and, judging
from the limited amount of liquor drank at
Centerville on the night of the 18th, they
are doing a good work. Many Of the ole
devotees have ceased to worship at the shrine
OF Bachus, and seem determined to work
out a reformation, and tally one on the roll
of manhood.
In conclusion, Mr.. Editor, permit me tt
say, that if there is any point in this letter
on the subject of agriculture or any Other
subject, not fully understood by any of the
readers of your valuable paper, the matter
will be thoroughly vetilated and made clear
as mud, by addressing MI at any post-ofice
'twixt here and yonder. MACK.
