At a meeting or the building associa-
ton last monday evening it was decided
TO loan the surplus now in the treasury,
amounting to some So, 800. Messrs. Con,
rad, Sullivan and Cummings are the fin
ance committee, to whom the matter is
intrusted and to whom all applications
for a loan should be made.
Andrew Hay, from upper Arrow
creek, is in town. He reports but little
snow IN his section Of the country, and
the sheep consequently rolling fat. The
settlers on Arrow creek have now to 90
to Stanford for their mail, which is a
long cold ride in the winter time. The
last change in the route OF the Billings
coach brings the stage line close to them,
SO there is no reason why they should
not be accommodated with a post Office,
which they can doubtless secure by a
petition to the postal authorities.
From Fridays Daily.
The Hay Brothers leave for Arrow
creek to-day.
Messrs. Kipp and Clark start for Fort
Conrad to-day.
Mike Healy is in town from Assina-
boine, and will return tomorrow with

 other prominent physicians as experts in in- sanity and otherwise; all without exception, in response to the same hypothetical questions
 as propounded yesterday, affirmed the pris- oner to have been of unsound mind and a monomaniac on the subject of the removal or Dukes. The ladies present retired before the Dukes letters were read.
