Raising fruit trees from the seeo is
q business adapted to farmer boys. a
quarter of an acre Of ground devoted to
tree raising will afford any one who
properly cares for them considerable
revenue. Upon such a piece of land in

sand trees could be raised, which, if
grated when two years old. in five or
six years from the time of sowing the
seed wouli be worth at least from twen-
" to twenty-five cents each. making
the whole worth from eight to ten hun

There are innumerable instances on

has been of due size and properly con-
strueied and fixed, the building asso-
ciated with it has been entirely unin-
jUred. The truth obviously is that the
question OF efficiency ard safety entirely
hangs upon the amplitude of the d.
mansions, the number and position of
the points, and the com pieteneSs of the
earth contact, of conductors. In any
case where these are insufficient the

Bishop BrondeI's Lecture.

Quite a large audience attended the
lecture of Bishop Brondel atthe Catholic
church Wednesday evening, his subject
being "Why the Latin languages is used
in the Catholic service" The reasons
brought forward were good, and no
doubt impressed his hearers. The prin-
cipal idea of using it was that Of unity.
NO changes ever took place; the Latin
language was the same to-day as when
Christ was on earth. The inscriptions
on the tombs in the Catacombs Of Rome
were as easily read to-day as in the days
OF the early Christians. Another argu-
ment was that when the bishops Of the
world met in council, all speaking diff
ierent tongues, the one language made
The meetings harmonious, as that was
the only medium of the expression OF
thought common among them. The
lecture occupied about an hour and was
listened to with marked attention. The
bishop is an eloquent speaker, and those
who did not attend missed the most
brilliant lecture ever delivered IN Fort
Benton. At the conclusion of the lee
tture the bishop spoke of the difficulty
he had experienced in securing sisters
to take charge of the new hospital, but
had finally succeeded in inducing the
authorities of a convent in Montreal 70

The Little Rocky gold diggings ex-
element still continues undated as far
as we are able to learn. Billy Devine
received a dispatch from Peter Farrell,
dated Little Alder gulch, September "A,
in which he says: 1.-The mines are
good have got two claims" VIZ know
that what Pete says is what he himself
believes, and he has been in the mines
long enough to form d pretty good idea
of their richdess.
Outfits pass through town en- route to
the new colorado nearly every day, and
there must be nearly 500 people in the
different camps that are now in the Lit
tie Rockies.
This is a bad season Of the year for a

comes we confidently expect to see a
number Of booming camps in the gulch-
