OyR quiet little town was thrown into a
fever Of excitement last Sunday by the ar
rlyarvt Mr.. Len Lewis with his herd OF Jer-
seys, and MesSrs. Bennett 6 Goodale, and
G. w. Cook with some choice specimens of
their thoroughbred sheep.
Mr.. Lewis Jerseys or Attorneys are pure
~ bred, as q glimpse at them will at once
testify. Primrose, the flower Of the herd, is
a perfect picture of his justly celebrated
breed, and cannot fail to fiud many adj
inlrers among tase daIrymen in attendance
at the fairs The entire herds offered
for sale, and we think will meet a ready
market, as. this is the only thoroughbred
herd of Attorneys in Montana.
Messrs. Bennett 6 Goodale, and Cooks
flock are hard to bcat.in any country. They
had only fifteen with them, being mere spe-
ciinens of what may be found on their
ranches. Their lambs seven months old,
were very large, and had fleeces of remarka-
bile length British Prince" and "Glou-
cester Chief,n imported rams, are not only
the largest sheep ii Montana, bnt have few

Twenty third Street Railroad. This case was
before Judge Sedgwck, in the Superior
Court, Special Term. On the argument before him ii
cOnended on the part OF the defence that the rail-
road charter implied all necessary means for running
the cars, one OF which in the winter was the snow

and the public who travel the cars the number Of
thousands day. would be seriously nconvenienced,
and irrespective Of the expense IL was utterly mpossi
BILE to procure carts enough TO clear oil the snow as
fast as II fell On the other SIDE II was argued that the
snow could be removed easily enough before II hard
ened; that tho defendants were allowed 10 use

pile up ice the sidewalks, and that the queS-
tion Of profit TO the railroad was never consd-
cred by the Legislature, and that protracted
blocking up OF the streets intended 10 be
allowed In written opinion, covering twenty three
