/ ADVANCE OF THE TERMINUS. The stage
company officers have advices that the ter
minus of the Utah Northern r. r. will be
advanced thirty miles from Camas Creek to
"the Dive -four miles beyond Pleasant
Valley-next Saturday ay-to-morrow The
Diye is 175 miles from Deer Lodge. The
next move will be to Sheep Greek, in Red
Rock Valley, 135 miles from Deer Lodge,
and the terminus will probably be there in
side oftwo months. The road is already
graded this side OF Pine Bluffs. When the
railroad reaches Sheep Creek the terminus
will be accessible for Montana teams all
winter unless there is an extraordinary
snow fall preventing travel for a few days


The stage coaches bound north now leave
Pleasant Valley at 9 p. m. and reach here
at 8 p. m. the second day. When the cars
advance to the Dive, coaches will leave
there about five hours earlier, but We are
not advised what changes win be made in

The people of California are at present very
much agitated about the new Constitution
which will come before them for ratification
or rejection in May next The notorious Den
mis- Kearney, the orator and vulgar slang
whanger, is making tour of the State in advo-
cacy of the new Constitution. The San Jose
Mercury remarks, that eighty-one California
newspapers have emphatically announced
their opposition to the new Constitution :;
while only forty-fve have pronounced in its
favor. From this it would appear that so far as
the newspaper press of the State is concerned
the large preponderance is opposed to the new
instrument. 1t is none of our business
whether the new Constitution of California is
ratified or rejected but from our estimate of
kearney as a leader in politics, were we a
citizen Of California, we would be very apt to
oppose the new Constitution with our vote, if
for no other reason than that it was supported
by such fellow as he is. In other words,
we consider such creature an unmitigated
evil IN any community, nuisance that should
be abated RotenS roLsnS. We fear that there
were too many members in the Constitutional
Convention who sympathized with the Kear-
neyites, TO produce Constitution fitted for a
free and enlightened people in the nineteenth
century. But the result of the vote will show
whether the majority of the citizens of Cali
fonia will agree to be Kearneyized, by adop-
ting the new Constitution,

OUoHT To Do IT.-We learn that the
Hay Fsrk people talk some of building a
new School House this Summer, the ed
building not being just suited to the
requirements Of that thrifty and growing
sectisn and it is certainly not very
ornamental. Nothing adds to the ap-
pesrance and real worth of community
so much as does comfortable and
cheerful school building. Hay Fork
was the first District in this county to
introduce the new and improved school
furniture and its success in this direction
shows that the folks there are alive to the
importance Of education and that they can
have new School House If a STARTS once
made. Therefore we suggest that the
sooner talk is stopped and work commenc.
cd the quicker the building will be COM
pleted. Weaver talked for several years
TO no purpose. Work commenced and
inside ofsix months we were able to boast
Of ono Of the fnest School Houses in the
State.

ALLEE SAME.-Last Monday was a
Chinese good day, and judging by the
noise and smoke of bombs and crackers it

ardor. For a time flor supper frecrackers
were exploded with such rapidity and in
such numbers as to bel lmost deafening
and the entire length of Main street was OBJ
'scured in smoke while the olfactories of the
white population was assailed with the
vilest OF odors from the bombs. One
celestial estimates that not less than one
thousand dollars were expended that day
in bombs and frecrackers. 1t may be
remsm bered that at the last meeting of
the Board ofSupervisors it was understood
that steps would be taken to stop this
internal racket, but nothing seems to have
been done in the matter. Some of these
days team will be frightened, run away
and perhaps cripple or kill ssme one, and

novel question has recently been
decided in the Irish High Court of JUS
tice. The defendant was trader, and
the plaintiff, one of his customers, owed
the defendant a sum of money, for the
payment of which the defendant ap-
piled to him. The plaintiff, being un-
well, directed his wife to write to the
defendant, sending him at the same time
money in part payment of the sum due.
The defendant, in reply to this letter,
wrote in reference to the balance on q
postal card, which was transmitted to the
plaintiff through the postoffice, the Ii
belous matter complained of:


SIR:-Your plea of illness for not pay
ing this trifie is all moonshine. We will
place this matter in our solicitors hands
if we have not the stamps by return, if it
costs us ten times the amount.


T. JONES & Sons.


The innuendo put upon this commu-
nication by the plaintiff was that it meant
that the plaintiff falsely pretended that
he was prevented by sickness from pay
ing the defendants demand, and that
the alleged sickness was mere invention
and sham; and that the plaintiff was an
untruthful person, and unable to dis
charge his debts, by reason of which the
plaintiff had been injured in his charac-
ter, credit and reputation, and in his
profession. The Court said:


81 am willing to assume that the
averments in statement of defense show
that the defendant had an interest in
writing to the plaintiff the words COM
planned off, but the publication to be
justified is not publication to the plain
tiff, but to other persons. I think we
ought to take judicial notice of the ma
ture of a postcard; and, therefore, I see
no reason for holding that commune
cation written on a postcard is privi-
legged. It would be most serious thing
to lay dow that person may extend the
sphere of circulation of defamatory mat
ter because he wants to save half-penny
in postage"


By our Federal statutes it is a misde-
meanor for any one to mail postal card
containing any indecent or scurrilous
epithets, and the punishment denounced
is a fine from 800 to $4,000, or imprison-
ment from one year to ten years, or both.
