Rev. .. N o IN.

NEXT Sunday Rev. $. N. Crothsrs.
who has been holding church services
for some time in Masonic Hall, Gold
Hill, with the view OF building up a
Presbyterian Society here. will preach
his farewell sermon. having accepted u
call to the passionate at Santa Barbara.
California. Rev. Mr.. Crothers has been
in this place less than q year. but during
that time has, by exemplary walk and
Christian conversation, made many
friends and drawn around him the ele-
ments OF what would soon, under his
guidance and direction, become a large
and prosperous society. Although young
in years, ho has developed u depth OF
thought and consistency OF character
which promises well for the future. He
is. in fact, an original thinker; a bold.
independent, vigorous, concise and
logical reasoner; and hence draws where
many others would repel. He will take
with him to his new field Of labor the
best wishes Of all here for his future
usefulness and happiness. We shall
expect to hear Of him hereafter, for we
believe he will make his marx on the
coast.

Piano. and rgsns

tits claimed by good judges that the
very best pianos and organs for this
section are smiths. Their tone and
general arrangement ia not only equal
to the best and superior to most,
but the material stands the climatic
changes Of this section perfectly in every
respect, ~ those In use on the Com
stock aud in Carson fully attest. Smiths
pianos are taking the lead. Each piano
is warranted for ten years, and u fine
cover and stool goes with each instru-
ment. They gre sold in San Francisco
a, Wholesale prices. and the only adj
ditional cost to residents OF this section
Is the transportation over tho noun
tains. This il much safer aud better
than buying them in the East. A fine
chance Is here offered for getting q choice
piano on very favorable terms.

In the principal journals of Chicago
and st. Paul the company advertises for
proposals, to be received up to 18th of
December, "for grading, bridging, and
completing ready for the track super
structure, that portion of its line ex-
tending from the west bank of the
Missouri river, opposite the present
terminus of its railroad at Bismarck,
to the Yellowstone river, at or near
the mouth of Glendive creek, being a
distance of about two hundred miles, "
The work is to be let in sections of
twenty-five miles, the first of which
must be completed by the first of July,
1879, and the last by January |, 1880.
This policy is adopted in order that
the first sections of the 100 miles may
be finished early enough to enable the
company to forward the material for
completing the last sections by the
close of the year. The line has been
fully surveyed, and maps and profles
are ready for inspection of bidders. In
commenting on this action of the com
pany, and on its settlement with the
st. Paul and Pacific, the Pioneer Press
says the meaning of it all is that "the
Northern Pacific will hereafter devote
its entire energies, credit and earnings
to the extension of its great trunk
highway across the continent instead
of frittcring them away on local or lat
eral lines;" that the advertisement it
publishes soliciting proposals for build
ing the road to the Yellowstone "means
just what it says" that the company
will undoubtedly build these two hun
dred miles in 1879, "with or without
congressional extension of the grant, 3"
and that "the development of the
country along its line has been so great
and its surplus earnings so large, as to
afford a solid basis of credit for the ex-
tension resolved upon next year, which
will itself be an immense stride to-
wards the completion of this great
highway"

For some time Mr.. Walker, living

scheme proved a success. Thursday
morning of last week Bruin put his
foot in it" and was captured. He
was black bear and weighed over $50
pounds. His carcass was nicely
dressed, anda liberal piece oft found
its way to the residence of "the sub
scriber," for which all concerned have
the Acknowledgements of the printer.
1t was the first meat of the kind we
had ever had opportunity to tackle,
and despite some little indehnable
prejudice we had against it, we are
now ready to confess that there are
many things a good deal harder to
bear than slice of good sweet bear.
