To the Editor of the RECORD.
Joseph Goodreau, who has spent many
years upon the banks of the Missouri
River, died last week at his ranch near
Vanderbilt.
He came up the river nearly forty years
ago to work for the American Fur Com
pany. He was blacksmith, and worked
at his trade up to within few days Of
his death. He was one of the party who
built old Fort Union, at the mouth of the
Yellowstone River, and many evenings
has the writer sat and listened to his sto-
ries of Indian fights which he took part
Ill during those early days of peril and
hardship. He never spoke of his own
bravery-of the daring deeds lie had done,
but always told of others, aud gave them
all the credit and all the honors.s
l have heard it from the lips of'0thers
that he had in battle killed two Indians
in hand-to. hand conflict; but l never
heard him say one word in regard to the
matter, and long acquaintance had
taught me better than to say one word to
him about it,
Nearly twenty years ago lie married u
niece of the chief Sitting Bull, and by
her had two sons and two daughters, who
arc now being educated, and are an honor
to their father, who, by the way, has left
them quite snug little fortune.
During our long acquaintance l nevc1
heard him say hard word against any
one, nor have 1 ever heard any one say 6
hard word against him.
In his death we have lost man in ev
cry respect, and only wish he could have
stopped longer in our midst.
He was man of high impulse ant

One night last week there was a ram
storm ont in the Doughcrty ncighbor-
hood. u few miles north of town. Quite
a number of men engaged in breaking on
the Bringhurst land were sleeping in the
house on that place. Although the wind
blew quite lively, they put in Il good
night and slept soundly. Arising next
gaze upnn the refreshed beauties of ma,
ture. But, alas one Of the striking
landmarks of the region was missing
Twelve hours before the residence of
Farmer Blake had stood near by, and at
evcntldc, about the hour when chickens
seek their roost. the farmer had retired to
his downy couch therein. Eut now the
building was nowhere to be seen. A
search was made, and in a short time the
lumber of which the house had been built
was found strewn upon the prairie. A
table. a side Of bacon and other ncccssa-
ries and luxuries of a wcll-rcgulated bach
elor establishment were also picked up.
But the owner was nowhere in sight. The
boys became alarmed and began to scan
the heavens, thinking that the Zcpnyrs
had perhaps waited the form of Mr. B.
aloft. and that he might then be found
floating around through space. Some
body suggested that q visit be made to
the place where the building had stood.
This was done. AS the party approached
they saw that the bedstead was still stand.
ing, and the quilts. comfortcrs, blankets.
ETC., were in their accustomed place. The
floor had not been put down, and so. when
the house departed, the stove and bed
stead remained But still no Blake. Ev-
cry one then became silent with astonish-
ment and sound like the putting of Il
locomotive was soon heard proceeding
| from the direction of the bed Somebody
suggested that the bed CLOTHES be pokcd
around little. This was done, and the
form of the farmer was brought to view
He was awakened, sat up in bed, and
gazed wildly around, as though looking
for his roof and walls. He then quickly
arose. The comfortcrs and quilts were
thoroughly soaked, and, as they were new
and not Of fast colors, Mr.. b., on arising,
| presented the appearance of calico dyed

museum. Mr.. E. was not injured in the
least, and all hands, including the gen
tlcman who has now established a reputa.

wind, though brisk was not strong
enough to have overturned the building

Won't some. Scientific gent" please
tell us what wild mustard lives on? Its,
roots are only two or three inches long,
yet it seems to make no difference
whether or not there is total lack of
moisture at or near the surface It

lard would flourish in the .sultry climate
of that region which the Universalists de-
clare to be myth. A week ago the wri-
ter went out and elevated about two tons
Of this weed from his oat-patch north of

along and replanted it; for, on going out

amount of the golden-hued condimcnt
was found, growing finely. Mustard is q
