journey with J. E. on the next coach.
Langstroff, a discharged inmate of the
Warm Springs insane asylum, has been
amusing himself at the expense of the
Rev. Blackstone congregation, in
Butte. The crank insisted on lending
his tuneful voice to help the singers

result which was quite amusing to the
boys, and then after service he inform

Jack Faucet drove his horse and bug
gy into the river near the old fort yes
terday to let the cayuse have a drink,
but the thirsty animal, not content with
.imbibing the fluid in the regular man
lner laid down and tried the ABSORPTION
plan. This excited Jack so much that
by yelling murder! fire! / am drowning!
etc., he succeeded in drawing a big
crowd to the seat of war. Some Of the
rescuers had SO little regard for their
Own comfort that they made all prepar-
ations for a plunge bath, but Jack and
his steed were at last rescued from

1.-THE following from the MissouGan is
the latest golden news from theneW Dig
gings: !" Mr.. Thos. Ct. Hathaway, of
the Montana improvement company,
came up from Spokane Falls October
31st, and reports the excitement at that
place as still intense overt the gold mines
in the Occur d'Alenes. He saw men
who had just returned from the new
camp, with small quantities Of coarse
gold in their possession, who were known
to have been in Strengthened circum-
stances previous to going to the mines.
Over 500 men are in the new diggings,
and the impression prevails that the
twenty acre claims cannot be held. He
says the trails from Heron over the hills
have thus far been a failure, but there
is said to be a route for horsemen from
