MONDAY morning last, when Commodore
Lannigan, of Canyon Ferry, went out to his
BOAT, ne discovered one OF his bearing poles

other; near by, on the apron ofthe boat.

foot track was discovered leading to the boat.
put none led therefrom. 1t is evident that
some one tired of life had started on his
long journey by water. It is supposed to
have been a crazy Chinaman, who has been
in that neighborhood sometime, but has not
been seen since.
"GLoUCEsTER CHIEE,' the celebrated
%375-pound Cotswold ram, imported by Cook
Bros, goes to the Western Slope, as will be
seen by the following bill Of sale. He will
prove a valuable accession to the flocks over
there.
This is to certify that we have this day
sold to Hyde & Evans and j. p. Thomas,
one pure-bred Cotswold ram, "Gloucester
Chief" bred by Henry Cole, of Gloucester,
Gloucestershire, England, and imported in
August, 1874 by Messrs. Beatie & Miller, of
Pickering, Ontario, Canada, and sold to
John Smell & Sons, of same place, of whom

lot of lambs last season. We have sold said

WHILE on our visit to the Capitol last
week, we had the pleasure of visiting the
Grand operate Cantata, the Haymakers by
home talent. The entertainment lasted
about three hours, and was interesting
throughout. The scenery was beautiful,
and the mastery manner in which the sew
eral parts were executed, gave evidence of
thorough training. Miss Emma Marsh, in
her %personation of a saucy, r~osy-cheeked
dairy maid, executed her solo so we'll that
she was called to the stage a second time.
A solo by Miss D'Acheuil, was SO f~aultless
that she, too, was called a second time.
Mrs. Neel also sang very beautifully. The
solos by Messrs. Armitage, Brown, Die
trich and Stipe, were good. The mowers
and spreaders formed an excellent chorus.
Many of the scenes We're very brilliant, and
reminded us of by-gone years, when tossed
a scythe in the blooming clover.
Our Smith river friends stopped in town
Monday night last, IN their return from the
fair. Their stock wore the unmistakable
insignia OF eXcellence-the blue ribbon. And
it is almost needless to add that these gen
tlemen were jubilant over their triumph.
Mr.. Lewis Jerseys would make even the
dairy breeders Of the States rustic if they
beat them. While Messrs. G. w. Cook &
Bro, and Bennett & Goodale have reached
a perfection in CotsWold, that the old estab-
lished stock farms Of the Western States
cannot excel. The u~nexceptional advan-
tage that Meagher county possesses, is fast
making itself known in the rapid advance of
our stock interests. Her beef, mutton and
wool nave already won their way to the top
of the market. While her thoroughbred cat
tie and sheep, and practical farm stock have
borne away the palm at the Territorial ex-
hibition. And still along the Eastern Slope
of her mountains, are thousands OF square
miles OF pastoral lands with coy locations,
water privileges, etc., ready for any who
wants a home where they can live at ease,
make money and be happy.
