Judge ClemsiSts has received q letter
from ROutt county, which states that
the fears af an outbreak OF the Utes In
the spring r now greater than ever.
The writer states that he has talked
with a leading Indian named John I'm
gurat, who has always been extremely
friendly to the whites. JOHN says that
the Indians have gone to Whisky Gap
in the Shoshone country, aud Will re-
main there all winter. lie says also
that the Utes have made a treaty with
the Sioux and Arapahoes, and that Il
number of those tribes are also encanp-
ed at Whisky Gap. According to
his statement, at the campin question
there is "Heap wano; heap dance ;
heap shake hands heap good friends"
between the new allies. The fact uf
friendly relations with the Sioux has
excited the gravest approximations
among the settlers. One of the NEIL
has loaded his family and effects, and
gone to the snake river countr,, and
the others are undecided whether tn
build a block house, to dig for safety
under ground, or to pack up and leave
the country. No immediate danger is
anticipated, but serious times are look
ed for in the spring. Denver Tunes.

A mcrrier conconrse than tha witch
gathered III fhe store-room Of the Fisk
and Snow block would be very hard to
find. Tile occasion was a grand festi-
val given by the ladies Of the African
Methodist Church. Our reporter drop
ped in about IL O'Clock, and found over
one hundred of our representative col
ored people, male and female, enjoying
themselves in a quiet, thorough style
peculiar to their race. There was
every feature of the regulation church
sociable of the present day. In the
front end of the room some twenty or
thirty lads and ~lasses, with hands join
ed, were circling round and round,
singing sweet old plantation songs.
Farther on, along the sides, were long
tables, fairly groaning under their
weight of delicacies-oysters in every
style, turkey, fruit, cake, ETC., and sur
rounded by happy couples, who were
eating, drinking, talking and laughing.
OF course the corners and other eligible
places were occupied by loving pairs.
and handsome, well-dressed young
swains poured into the eager ears of
beautiful damsels sugared words of
fiattery, inspired by the heart. Every
thing showed careful management and
a most commendable desire to please
all on the part of the ladies in charge.
The festivities were kept up until a late
hour, when the merry-makers returned
to their homes, all expressing the senti-
ment that they had enjoyed a very
"Merry Christmas" indeed. The gross
receipts Of the evening reached eighty
six dollars. Nearly $50 presents were
hung upon the tree.

Those who 1.-Two III the east and arc
constantly clamoring Tor q reduction Of
our little army should have witnessed a
scene that occurred in the streets of
Bozeman the other day. A company
of soldiers were returning from the In
dian war to their station at Fort Ellis.
1t was under command of Captain
George L. Browning, of the Seventh
United States Infantry, and had
marched from Ellis last summer to join
General Gibbon at Big Hole Pass. The
company was present in the battle of
the 9th of August, and lost more heav-
lily than any other company in Gibbons
regiment. Among the killed, almost
at the first fire of the Indians, were
First Sergeant Robert L. Edgworth and
Sergeant Morton, Sergeant Morton,
Sergeant Edward Page (attachedl, be-
ing killed later in the fight. Sergeant
O'Conner, Corporal Sales and Privates
Maniz and O'Brien were also killed.
The wounded in Captain Browning's
company were Sergeant Fredricks, Ser.
geant BenZinger and Privates Burk,
Banghout, Conner, King. RobLick and
Gold 1.-THE last attached temporarily to
the company. All these losses happen
ed in one day in a little company of in.
fantry, and ought to be satisfactory to
the friends of army reduction in the
east. Captain Browning marched to
the field with forty men, and returned
to his post with just sixteen, all the
rest being dead, wounded or discharged.
1t was Il sad sight to see the little
squad of ten men carrying muskets,
followed by Il wagon loaded with
wounded and sick. And this is what
they call IA company in the United
States Army, which Congress is so anx.
ious to rednce. But if Congress does
not appreciate the brave Browning and
his gallant little band the people in thu
west do, and it was creditable to til,
citizens to witness the hearty manner
in which they received these soldiers.
Escorted by a band of music and fol
lowed by hundreds of people, every
honor was paid them from the time
they came in sight of Bohemian until
they were landed safely at the fort. Nc
men could have served their country
better than those have done, and, in
return for their faithfulness, the Gov.
eminent has withheld their pay since
June last.

You may preach to your friends that

You may preach to your friends that
philosophy will enable one to not only
stoically endure the various ills of life,
but sometimes make them a source of
pleasure. Pause n moment. When
you get a seat at the theatre behind Il
man who talks through his nose and
interpolates the play with explanatory
remarks to the old gentleman beside
him, who has an ear with IL broken
h~air-spring, where's the reasoning pro-
cess that can keep you from feeling an
almost irresistible desire to strangle
him? And when he persists in filling
in the time between the acts with all
elaborate review of all his past life
provokingly free of horse pond and tar
and downy episodes-where's the sys-
TEN of philosophy with a balm that can
ill the bill?
