From the Benton Record.

From the Benton Record.
Rev. w. Harris a Methodist clergyman of
Helena, held divine services on board the
Steamer G. w. Mead last Sunday evening.
The sermon was very entertaining and in!
structiye, and we believe made a favorable
impression upon the large congregation
present. Mr.. Harris is the first Protestan.
minister who has visited Benton within
the past year, a fact which is not creditable
to those who have in charge the spiritual
welfare of this locality. The people of Ben
ton and Sun River have always encouraged
the visits of %clergymen of any denomination.
vet they are seldom favored with Protestant
| church services.
If our own Government is unable to fur
nish enough soldiers to protect the settle
ments of Montana, it would be a good idea tt
petition the Canadian Government to in
crease the force of Mounted Police at Cy
press Hills and Fort Mcleod. British pro
lection would be better than none.

LAST week we accepted an invitation to
accompany Mr.. j. Laney, Of our town, to
the east side of the mountains to examine
some of the colts of his celebrated stallion,
John Morgan. In all Of the prominent herds
on Smiths river, this stallion makes a fine
showing of colts. Mr.. Laney and Mr.. Ra-
der nave some of the best we saw on this
trip. Not only are the last spring colts good,
but the yearling and two-year-olds show
that they will make powerful horses. Mr..
Il. j. Moore has a two year old stallion, a
deep chestnut sorrel by John Morgan that
promises well. He is large, well formed,
over fifteen hands high, and measures TWEEN
ty-six inches around the arm. Messrs. Sar-
ter, Mayors, Ellis and Others, all have fine
young horses by this sire, which need only
to be seen to be admired.

a true picture of our early days. Certainly
a history Of Meagher county-her rich mines,
the discovery of Confederate and tributaries,
