Population Of Beaver head County.

Our Bannack correspondent, j. r. w.,
furnishes the following census item of
Beaverhesd county, which shows that Beaver
head has made a large increase in
population since 1870. In 1870, we believe,
he population of that county was returned
At only 73S. If Montana shows as large an
Iucrease. in proportion to Beaverhead, the
sopulation of the territory will foot up al
least A, 1000:
The census enumeratOrS have completed
heir work in this (Beaverhead) county. The
Increase in population is fully up to expecta-
ions. Beaverhead county, complete, foots
up a population of 3,2SO-an increase OF
$3.50 in ten years. These returns indicate a
voting population of 1900 to 400. The pop
ulation OF the principal towns in the county
is us follows

Lion City and vici '.ity, about 400

The Colorado Beetle.

The potato bug, or Colorado beetle, has
made it's appearance in Deer Lodge valley,
about three miles below PIerse's station. AS
vet the pests have made their appearance only
on one ranch, but the knowledge that they
are in the country at all IS enough to fill the
farmers mind with uneasiness, SINCE there is
no knowing what hosts may follow the VAN
guard whose arrival we chronicle to-day. OF
The various remedies that have been tried the
only one found servlceable as a preventive Of
the potato bugs ravages is a solution of Paris
green, sprinkled literally over the threatened
vines. Plants thus treated IRE left untouched.

The population of the Butte census district
is 4,l50, only. This is correct. tie lntelli-
gcnce coming from a source thai admits Of no
doubt on that score, and we give it unmindful
of any Hugh and cry that may be raised in a
certain quarter about the publication OF the
figures. We may slate that tie above COM
pris,i only the unCorrected lists. Tomorrow
and the day following the books are to be
opened at Deer Lodge for correction, when
the number given may be considerably in
creased. Persons knowing themselves to
have been omitted should hand in their names
to Mr.. kemper, previous to his departure for
the county town.

THE WHITE CAT.

This game is but modern variation
upon the old-time favorite of Poor Pussy
Wants Corner; but the alteration adds
an amusing complication to the older
and simpler game. The players take
possession of the corners Of the room,
while the White Cat stands on the alert
in the middle. The players are then
bound in honor to change corners with
their neighbors as frequently as possible
the Cat striving to gain one OF the cor
ners in these intervals. In any case the
Cat retains the Office, but when any one
of the other players is caught out OF ms
hole, that player is compelled to retire
from the game The hole is then con-
sidered stopped" and must no longer
be used. If any one now mIuckily
enters a stopped hole, he also retlres,
and the game may be continued until
all the players have been thus placed in
! banishment.
