the junction Of the Little BIackfoot and
Deer Lodge rivers. / will relate little
incident that occurred at this place, Of
which aIr. Hauser was the hero and which
he used to take great delight il reciting
to bis friends. Flour bacon and molasses
syrup formed the staple articles Of pro
visions III those days, and the miners con
sidered themselves fortunate when they
had full supply Of these, as the stock
was always limited and hard to obtain a.
any price. Sam Hauser evidently had q
sweet tooth in his head and was exceeding
liz fond Of molasses. One day, on finding
that the stock Of syrup was running low,
he put up job on the boys to prevent
them from using the article too freely
Taking dead mouse, recently caught, he
placed it in spoonful Of the syrap, and
when the boys returned from their work
showed them what he bad fshed cut fthe
moIasses. They were Of course disSusted,
and fer g long time Sam bad all the syrup
for his own use.
Discoveries of gold in what is now cal
led Montana soon followed in quick sue
cession. Cold creek was afterwards cal
led Pioneer, and bears the Dame to this
LAY. Boulder Bar was the next discovery,
following which the Grasshopper or Ban
mack diggings we're discovered BY the
Dorsey & White party, who fol owed Men
denhall's trail to Leuhi and afterwards
crossed the mountains by different route
to the one we had taken. Alder Gulch
was found BY Fairweather i Hughes, and
from that time out, the wealth of the eoun-
try having been fully established, parties
from all sections began to pour IN until
what is now called the Territory Of Mon
tana contained a population Of over
twenty-five thousand white persons.

Russian marriages invariably take place
in church, at the door of which the priest
meets the couple, and kisses their hands,
at the same time giving them his benedic-
ton. They follow him to the altar, and b
crown, light, and generally made Of silver,
is placed upon their heads. This is called
the marriage crown. He puts wax taper
into each Of their hands, and reads a
portion Of Scripture; a sweet and bitter
drink, emblematical of the joys and sor-
rows Of married life, is given I'd each. The
whole service lasts about an hour, and
ends BY the bride and groom, with all the
spectators, following the priest around the
altar three times. The ceremony is very
