Down the Beaverhead-The Farmers About
Twin Bridges-The Glendale Mines.
From Bannack / crossed over the hills to
Beaverllead valley and followed down the
same, halting at Salisbury IA few moments
and then down to Twin, Bridges, wnere |
rested several days. Twin Bridges is the
name of the prosperous little country VII
Iage located Oh the valley at the junction OF
Big Hole and BeaverIlead rivers. 1t has
one store, one hotel, one blacksmithsllop
and a, DOCTORS office. This is centrally To-
Gated in one OF tive, finest agricultural dis
trjsts. III MonD}nla.. The: L4altGln Bros, who
have been long,in the lEercantile business
here. have grown rich froin+lhe large trade,
anl., since they are DESTROYS Of retiring, IL
good opening is to be had here for Il man OF
some capital and business qualifications.
The hotel here is kept by VI. Ill. Lott &
Bro, gentlemen who well. understand how
to make travellers comfortable. aud spare no
pains in dong so. They are the owners Of
the two toll bridges, four or five hundred
acres ot farm land, and Il good dairy herd.
They produce their own vegetables, put up
nearly 200 tons Of hay yearly, and, besides
packing their W supply OF butter and
cheese, sell several thousand pounds to, the
merchants and tradesmen OF the country.
Wouldn't it be a good place for Mr.. Amos
PaxdNm, the genial postmaster and mer-
chant ct Salisbury, whose place of business
is, but. d short mile distant, to buy out
Messrs. Laurin & Bro, and move down to
TWins Bridges, making this the junction OF
the stage lines, to, Virginia Helena, Butte
and the, RAILROAD, terminus? Such a
would certainly be, approyed, not only by
the farming community, ybut4py those who
travel by stage coach.
y While at Twin Bridges | made some
pleasant visits to the farm houses in the
~nsighborhood, of whom l may note John
lWillheart, a princely stock-raiser, Edgel,
an out and out farmer. Geo. Lapont, a farm
er, stock-raiser and blacksmith, who, as a
horse sheer, has a wide reputation. John
Seyler, and his partner, H. Hotton, wealthy
stockmen. who are at this time supplying
the Butte City markets with tour-year-old
steers at $50 per head. A. N. Moore, of the
firm Of Moore & Eldred, farmers and wool
growers, and j. Dulfield, who is also stock
man and farmer, and presides over fine
herds and beautiful grain and hay fields.
A days journey of IS miles toward the
north west, over rolling grassy ridges. took
me across the divide between the jefferson
and Big Hole, rivers, across and over the
Big Hole river, to the lively little minimizing
town of Glendale. A little town, l said,
ana yet it is4not so smaMbrt it may with
ease be termed a city. OF its beauty II
can say but littlessince it is lenped in, by.
mountains and. scattered along a gulch-. for
nearly a quarter of a mile. There are. five,
or six stores, two boarding houses, one no.

which had the appearance of doing a flour

The amount of sugar annually con-
sumed in Great Britain is 100000 tons,
being about SO pounds for every one of
the population. Raw sugar, when i'm
ported, contains from 2 to 8 per cent. of
impurities. As much as three tons of
stone have been found in a single cargo.
According to experiments made by DR..
Cameron of Dublin and DR.. Hassell of
London, as many as 100000 mites are
sometimes found in pound of raw sugar
A case was lately before the Circuit
Court, Glasgow, which showed that ar
senic was mixed with sugar. A captain
was charged with causing the death of
several seamen by serving out putrid
pork 10 them, but, on the sugar being
analysed by DR., Maolagan of Edinburgh,
it was found to contain sufficient arsenic
to cause death. This sugar was supplied
to the ship at Callae.
A lady living in Washington, who lost
a valuable gold watch at the Centennial
exhibition last year, had it returned to her
recently with letter saying that the per-
son who stole it was not professional
thief, but took the watch in moment Of
great temptation, and, soon repenting the
rash act, had been ever since trying to
learn the address of the owner and hav-
ing at last learned it, returned the property
and begged forgiveness,

RECEIPT FOR CURING MEAT.-TO one
gallon of water take II pounds of salt,
half pound of sugar, half ounce of salt
petre, half ounce of otash. In this
ratio the pickle can be increased to any
quantity desired. Let these be boiled
together until all the dirt from the sugar
rises to the top and is SKINNED off Then
throw it into tub to cool, and when
cold, pour it over your beef or pork. The
meat must be well-coYered with pickle,
and should not be put down for at least
two days after killing, during which time
it should be slightly sprinkled with pow
dered saltpetre, which removes all the
surface-blood, &C., leaving the meat fresh
and clean. Some omit boiling the pickle,
and find it to answer well, though the
operation of boiling purifes the pickle by
throwing of the dirt always to be found
in salt and sugar. If this receipt is strict
ly followed, it viii require only single
trial to prove its superiority over the
common way or most ways Of putting
down meat, and will not soon be aban-
doned for any other. The meat is un-
surpassed for sweetness, delicacy and
freshness of color.

Evils of Gossip.

We have known country society
which Withered away to nothing under
the dry rot of gossip, Friendships once
as firm as granite, dissolved to jelly, and
then ran away to water, only because of
this; love that promised future as en-
during as heaven and as stable as truth,
evaporated into a morning mist that
turned to a days long tears, only because
of this: father and son were set foot to
foot with the fiery breath of anger that
would never cool again between them
and husband and his young wife, each
straining at the heated leash, which in the
beginning had been thegolden bondage of
God-blessed love, sat mournfully by the
grave where all their love and all their JOY
lay buried, and all because Of this. l have
seen faith transformed to mean doubt, joy
give place to grim despair, and charity
take on itself the features of black male
violence, because of the small words Of
scandal and the magic mutterings Of
gossip. Great crimes work wrongs and
deeper tragedies of human life spring
from the larger passions; but woeful and
most mournful are the uncatalogued
tragedies that issue from gossip and de-
traction; most mournful the shipwreck
often made of noble natures and lovely
lives by the bitter winds and dead salt
waters of slander. So easy to say, yet so
hard to disprove-throWing on the inno-
cent all the burden and the strain of dem
onstrating their innocence, and furnishing
them as guilty if unable to pluck out the
stings they cannot see, and to silence words
they never hear-gossip and SANDER are
the deadliest and cruelest weapons man
has ever forged for his brothers heart.

The Wilmington On. CO. Star vOuches
for the following rather transparent story:
'Mr. Norment, well-nown politician of
Rooeson county, was engaged in fishing
in Lumber river, using hook and line,
when by some means he lost overheard a
valuable gold ring which he had worn
upon one of his fingers. The water was
deep and the bottom of the river vas soft
and muddy, so of course no attempt was
made to recover the lost trinket. Nine
weeks afterward he was again fishing in
the same locality, when he caught large
trout, which he took home with him, and
upon Openingthe fish preparatory to cook
ing it, he was astonished to find in Its
stomach the identical ring which he had
lost overheard more than two months
previously"

Mr.. COpenberry, of Buck Elk, Mo-,
left his house the other day, for the pur-
pose of carrying some hay or straw to a
distant part of the farm. He tied up a
bundle Of straw with a rope and placed it
upon his shoulder and proceeded to climb
the fence, when he slipped and fell, the
bundle falling on one side and himself on
the other. When in the act of falling,
a loop in the rope caught around the old
gentlemen's neck, and he was thus chOked

A Sensitive Woman.

The following is told of resident of
Iowa: " The case of Mrs. E. Winship,
who resides in Shell Rock, is a remark
bic one. The slightest odor of tobacco,
ether, chloroform, turpentine, benzine,
kerosene or prussic acid will, If she In
hales it, throw her into violent convul-
sions. So sensitive is she to the effect
that she is obliged to shut herself wholly
in room by herself. These commissions
increase in severity at each repetition,
and few days since man entered the
house with a piece of tobacco in his
mouth before the family were aware Of
it, and, although the rooms were thor
oughly ventilated by leaving the doors
and windows open, enough of the odor
of tobacco remained to produce these
commissions when Mrs. Winship came
into the room, and for some hours it was
thought she would not recover. Extra
ordinary precautions are used to prevent
those who use tobacco from going into the
house. ..-.
