There are, however, a considerable number of
bills unpaid, but which the unex pc nded balance
standing to the credit of the department will be
sufficient to meet. TIN ough great care and good

FIRE DEPARTMENT.
No duty presses more folcibly upon us as rnl-
ers OF the citS than to that facilities exist for
the speedy suppression of fires and the saving of
property. The fact that have an excellent
fire department composed of men who evince a
laudahle enthusiasm for their calling, and who
respond with prOmptuess to every alarm. is too
well known for me to repeat. l. is for us to keen
the efficiency of the department at a high stand
ard, and to cherish and encourage the gooi espyit
de corps, which has SO long prevailed. The re.
port OF the Chief Engineer, which with the other
city officers reports, will soon be laid before Won
will give in full detail the personnel and apparatus
of the department, together with some important
suggestions. He recommends the purchase of
smother steam fire engine. and the disbanding of
the two hand engine companies, believing such a
change would ensure a more efficient fire service
and the same time effect considerable reduction
IN the annual expenses. The cost of the derart.
ment the past year. after deducting the earning,
of the horses, was 81 1869. A reservoir on Win
throp street three bydrsnts on Water street, five
hundred feet of new hose, and "a valuable horse
for the steamer, were among the additions to the
department during the year.
OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION
am happy to he able to mention that despite
all our expenditures. our hearing debt has
been decreased to the extent of about four thous.
and dollars the past wear, and that our tot ., shi
ties, a. con pared with one wear ago to- dav are
between SIX and seven thousand dollars smaller.

THE FALL OF A MOUNTAIN.

Nearly every resident Of Montana, has
either seen or heard of the famous Bear
Tooth mountain, the most promising land
mark In northern Montana. It is visible
from different points at distances rangins
from forty to sixty miles, and is in full view
from Helena and the surrounding country.
The mountain is distant about thirty miles
from Helena, and stands like grim and
mighty sentinel at the end of the canon
known as the Gate of the Mountains,
through which" flows the Missouri river
The Bear Tooth was fully described as
wonderful Landmark of the early explorers,
Lewis and Clark. In all photographs OF
the northern country the two tusks, rising
black and grim hundreds of feet above the
mountain, are the prominent objects. The
main tusk remains, looking lonely and iso
lated in its grandeur. 70 l..
A party of hunters, who were chasing
game several miles north Of the Bear Tooth
observed rumbling sound and quaking
Of the earth, and supposing it was an
earthquake, and not noticing repetition OF
1t, they soon forgot the occurrence, and
continued their chase until they reached the
Bears Tooth. Here they were astonished
by the appearance of the eastern tusk
This was perpendicular mass of rock and
earth, fully 500 feet high, 300 feet in cir
cumference at its base, and about $50 feet

dislodged, and coming down with the speed
Of an avalanche had swept, through forest

=oTHE CLIMATE IN FRANCE.

m, The climate Of France, in some parts
differs very much from that of others. Al
though the winter is comparatively short in
the north, frost and ice, with much wei
weather are usual; yet in the south these
are of rare occurrence. In Paris, dahlias
and other plants are in full flower as late
as November 10; while in the south, espec-
Tally along the coast of the Mediterranean
roses bloom through the winter, camellias
. and other half-hardy plants fourished in
the open air, and orange trees laden with
fruit may bs seen wholly without protec-
.tion.s q s!sSi"s. 81 r'ol e." f." ell.
"a. In consequence of the law Of inheritance,
that requires property to be equally divid-
ed among the children of a family, much
of the land in France is very much subdi-
vided; and although the law commends
itself, as founded on principles of justice,
its effect on the agriculture of the country
is somewhat questionable. 4, 4s, sq.f 81 4
81, Generally. the farming population Of
France reside in villages, and not in
4 cottages upon their several properties this
being, as I suppose, more in accordance
with their habits and tastes, although me-
,cessarily attended with some inconvenience
20. In much Of the country there are no
enclosures to mark the boundaries of the
different properties; and these are Otter
small. 3, s'- q. '7L
r. The practice Is everywhere limited to
one established routine of crops and cult!
vation- Thus, in some parts OF. the coun
try, the attention of the husbandman vii
be given to the raising of the cereals, il
others to the cultivation Of the vine, and il
others, again, to the mulberry and olive fol
producing silk and OIL IN e.
a Except to those who see no beauty but in
mountain scenery, that of the northwest OF
France can hardly fail to be interesting
and attractive. Here are highly cultivated
swelling hills, and7beautiful valleys, will
much varied utline, winding rivers, pass
! ing by sunny slopes, and fields bounded by
hedge rowsy almost everywhere fertility
and high cultivation, numerous orchards,
cottages. and gardens, that, combined, tend
to form landscape not unlike that SO
often met with in England. So, too, those
who are satisfied with views from which
grandeur and sublimity are absent, can
hardly fail to be pleased with such as often
present themselves to the traveller as he
passes down the course of the Loire through
acountry covered with vineyards, orchards
and cornfelds-a country that, for beauty,
fertility and cultivation, has sometimes
been called the Garden of France, and wa
once fayorite residence of its kings, as il
proved by the ruins Of Plessis les Tour.
and the yet existing Chateau of Chambord
The (London) Farmer.
