our oil friends the BEE in it's present
 form and respectfully ask them to sub- scribe.
 | The Tom humb residence, corner Main street and North avenue ia place 1 familiar to all persons travelling the New pied for several years, has been newly
 painted and otherwis e improved, and pre-
 sentssa very attractive appearance. Mr. | H. P Rugg of Bridgeport will occupy the place as his residence.
 Our chicken street friend reports
 that there's a man; he lives out to jest
 before your git to the Shongumk Noun l tins, and that there m an has got a whack-
 in big farm-a kind of a stock farm, ye
 know--he keeps hosses and cattle and sich like onto it. Well sir, there one time he had so many hosscs die, that he | jest fenced fenced in his whole farm with | bones-yes sir, and they made q rippin' good fcnce too, don't rot out like wood, ye know. There want but one bad thing | about it-ye see the durn'd rats 'ud keep carryin' of 'em off. They jest have rats out to Ulster County-'nd don't you for get it.
 The season of the year is fast ap- preaching, when we shall all be looking for green lields," and many congrega- lions will be looking for "pastors new" The changing or pastors, at this day is not attended with as much tribulation as in former times, judging from the follow ing extracts from our Town Records. It seems that the Rev. John Beach came to NewtOwn as d Presbyterian minister in 1T24, and continued as such until about 17H when he proclaimed himself as being in warm communion with the Church of England. Great excitement followed and Il town meeting was called. The follow ing is the recorded doings of the same :: At a lawful town meeting of tho inhabi- tants of Newtown, held Jan. 14th, 1731, appointed to consult what was proper to be done with the Rev. Mr. John Beach, under present difficulties of the town by said Mir. Beach hath declared himself of at warm communion of tho Church of England; the meeting is adjourned tin the 18th of Jan'y at 3 o'clock in afternoon. Foted at said adjourned meeting by the inhabitants to have d day of solemn fast ing and prayer under the present difficult circumstances. Also to call in the Ec- clesiastical Council of Fairfield to direct and do what they think proper under the present difficult circumstances of the said town respecting the Reverend Mir. Beach and the inhabitants of the town of New town; also the 1st Wednesday of Febru- ary is appointed forthc fast" At meet ing of the Society held subsequently, a report was made that MT Beach has de- clared that there is a possibility, but not a remote probabil t. of his ever returning to the Presbyterian faith" At that time sixteen persons signed off'' to follow Mir. Beach to the Episcopal fold and 15O signed paper adhcrinS to the old faith.

Itis to these gentlemen the credit belongs for the excellent fitting dresses cut by the Bazaar Pattern Notwiih- standing the mere nominal price at which these patterns arc sold, the original mod el of each and every pattern. cut by us cost S25 in gold.

Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1879-02-13

EVERY citizen of Meagher county who
has its welfare at heart, desires TO see the
c%ounty-seat moved to some more suitable
point than Diamond. The county is wealthy,
and its people prosperous, but it is without
a center of trade. Even the retail trade of
the county is done in Helena. Every man
that has any local pride would be glad to see
the c~ounty-seat located at some central point.
and an effort made to build up a village ia
keeping with the rest of the country. Ifay-
ing surveyed this matter carefully and
weighed all things we'll, we are Satisfied a
better point cannot be chosen than the
White Sulphur springs. This is one OF the
finest health resorts on the continent az
America, and will soon become a nice little
village. The county seat removed to this
place would insure it a rapid growth, and
soon Meagher county could boast of ayoung
city equal In point OF trade to Bozeman,
Deer Loo ge or Missoula. This we regard
as aDou. the only point In the county where
the f..ade could be concentrated. The bulk
OF population is at present west of this, but
il will probably be east of it before the
snow flies another winter. There is no ne
cessity for a fine court house. The taxes
are light, only I6 mills, and will If progress
continues be reduced TO Il mills next year.
A change may be made in tho county seat
without in anywise efectiag this, and we
believe it is to the interest of every tax-pay-
err to urge the measure. The taxable prop
erty of the new own would be worth $780,
600 within a years time.

The pleasure of coach riding is not fully
realized until the earth is wrapped in snow.
A coach bounding like a bark at sea, when
the pillows roll, is gay, but there are not
half the delights as when they go on run
ners to the merry jingleof sleigh-bells. All
the lines in Montana now run sleighs. but
few are better equipped, and none make bet
ter time than Marks & Patterson, OF the
Helena and White Sulphur springs line.
Their teams are spirited and dash along over
the frozen snow at a lively gait. The coachs,
running on the winter schedule, require two
days to make the trip, but consume less time
on the road in summer. The coaches leave
either end of the route at s o'clock a. MI,
and arrive at 3 p. NJ, resting an hour on the
way for dinner.

WE nave reports from Texas to the eff
feet that that state is having the seyerest
winter known there for many years, and
that stock are dying by thousands. 1t is
estimated that fnlly one-half OF the sheep of
the state will be lost. In Montana the win
ter is a little worse than average, but no
fears are entertained Of serious losses. Con-
siderable snow has fallen on most of our
