Sitting Buil:h Scntinels.

Sixty Canadians, recruits for the noun
ted service in the Northwest Territory,
at Forts Walsh and Mcleod, arrived last
night under the immediate charge Of
Lieut.. Col. Irvine, panied by
Messrs. Mcdowell and Mcleod. These
men have calis;cd for three years are an
able-bodled lot Of young men with the
necessary amount of energy TO weather
this severe service. A few of the police
whose terms have expired came down on
the Rose Bud, of the Coulson line, which
boat will carry up those that arrived last
night. Of the two hundred engaged for
the past three years and whose terms eX-
pire by the 10Th inst, not one have re-
enlisted. Thirty-six months Of isolated
life, with only occasional communication
with the outside world in summer and
none whatever in winter, having as COM
panions only the rowing bands Of his
sitting majesty, Mr.. Bull. The1cmainder
Of the force will arrive in Bismarck en-
route to Canada during the next two
weeks.

Opening Exercises at the New Epis-
. -r,, cOpul Church. .la .seGG.t3C
3, The new Episcopal church was opened
to the public for the first time last Tues
day evening, Bishop Clarkson, of Omaha,
assisted by the Rev. D1: PATTERSON, Of Phil
adelphla, conducting tie initial exercises.
The church, was filled to. its. utmost by an
attentive audience, members Of the con-
gregation and the church going commu-
nifty generally. After the reading of the
Litany the bishop delivered a brief dis
course on the Church and its Mission" !"
Arrangements have been made for hold
ing regular services, Il pastor having been
appointed for this parish who will arrive
this month. The bishop says the Bis
marck church is the handsOmest in the
territory and that the church to be erected
in Grand Forks will be after the plans Of
this one, builder coming here to get the
designs. Bismarck has more pretty
churches than any city in Dakota. The
completion of the Methodist church this
summer will add one more to the many
handsome buildings that 5eautify the city.
Mid all the hustle and activity Of the busi-
ness community the churches evidence
that the citizens are not forgetful Of their
religious duties, and that with the rapid
advancement Of commercial interests and
increasing population the influence of the
pulpit meets with a pro rata encourage
ment

THE RIVER BED.
Wonderful Discoveries Likely to At
tend the Tunnel Excavation. ,u.-

tcn0 the EunnC4 EXCAVATION. .iit.-
Gen. Anderson, chief engineer Of the
North Pacific, arrived from New York
this week. He is waiting for Col. Clough
to finish his soundings in the river bed
when an official report will be sent on to
the board of directors. A bridge or tun-
mel will certainly be the result of this re-
port. The company has decided that Il
| crossing must be effected Immediately,
aud thus tar the tunnel seems to be the
most likely scheme. The bed of the river
is found admirably suited for building
either bridge or tunnel. The engineers
have bored down twenty feet into soft
sandstone and no bottom has yet been
reached. In one place quite an extensive
strata Of coal was found under which was
a layer Of clay. and then came the sand
stone again This sandstone isl soft that
it can be easily tunneled as it canbe cut
with knife. In boring an aughr is all
that IS required to penetrate it, At the
Bad Lands, on the Little Missouri, this
sandstone is exposed in some places to a
depth of over 200 feet, but the base has
never yet been seen. 1t is probably of re-
cent fOrmation-in fact at the present day
undergoing that process. Scientific men
believe that some wonderful discoveries
will be made in digging the tunnel. 1t is
in Just such formations that the best oil
wells in the country are located. 1t is al
so believed that artcsian wells will event
ually be sunk, and that their depths will
be but a few hundred feet. The Bad
Lands show unmistakable evidence OF oil
explosions, the burned out cralers being
in many places over one hundred feet be-
low the different veins of coal, which
have burned out, leaving the hardened
clay in all manner of irrcgularity.

The american Reprint of the En-
cVclODedi0 britannica.

We wish to call the attention of the readers
and thinkers Of our city to this grand work. No
work of its kind stands higher in the estimation
of scholars than the Encyclopedia Britannica
It's great cost was the only hindrance to its gene
raj use. American readers generally could not
afford to pay ten dollars per volume for twenty
one volumes And until the work was reprinted
in the United States we were obliged to content
ourselves with its possession in few of our lead
ing libraries.
The work is furnished in the American Re-
print at about half its original cost and per-
feet in all its parts every word, cut, illustration
map and plate being honestly and faithfully re-
produced.

OSHKOSH, Wis, Dec. II, 1879.
Col. E. B. GRAY, Agent for Reprint of ENcY-
CLoPKDIA BRITANNICA,
DEAR SIR: The opportunity you have given
us to compare the three editions of the ninth is
sue of the Encyclopedia Britannica-viz, the
"Original English Edition." the american Re-
print" by J. NJ. Stoddart & Co., and what is call
ed the "Scribner-Hall Edition"-has enabled us
| to discover the following facts:
l. The "Scribner- Hall Edition" is decidedly
inferior to the "Original' in the letter-press pa
per and binding.
2. 1t does not give the full text Of the english
Edition." and in some instances the omissions In
| text are such a character as to teach error Els
pecially is this seen in the article ANATOMY
3. The plates do not agree with the Original, ,
| most of them being smaller. These reduction:
| in some cases being made, and the text describ
ing the plates not being changed, correct idea
| Of the size of the plants (see article Botany"
| cannot be obtained.
| A. The marginal references, in many instances
are so bound into the backs of the volumes as tc
| render them quite useless.
| s. The maps vary from the "Original' show
ing that they are not "from the same,'' but from
quite inferior, plates. Notably is this the case
| in the maps of Cornwall and Cumberland, il
which the fine-line engraving showing elevation.
| is entirely omitted.
| g. So many serious defects occur in this 'Scrib
| ner-Hall Edition. that we do not hesitate to say
that the guaranty given that we are getting the
work, both in letterpress and illustrations, like
| the English edition." is not being carried out il
good faith. In other words, we are not receiving
| what we contracted for.
| So far as we have examined the American
| Reprint" published by J. M. Stoddart & Co., i
| is faithful reproduction in subject-matter O
the original text, maps and plates 1t is wei
printed On excellent paper, is well bound and il
in better form for the shelves and ordinary hand
| ling than quarto.

Firmly Established, Safe, Reliable
Over $50 FIRE INSURANCE COMPANIES in

during the eventful 10 years just closed-January

Increase of Capital Stock from

2-Increase of Assets from

5-The prompt payment of the Chicago and

ST 800, 900, without impairing the capital
of the company or calling upon the stock
holders for dollar.
6-The payment Losses in the 10 years,
amounting to over S21, 400 OOO-making
total losses paid since organization, over
