An Early M ontana E ducator.

Mr. J. B. Patch, whom many of our pio­neer people will remember, writes us an in­teresting letter from Arizona, recalling some delightful reminiscences connected with early educational labors in Montana. Mr. Patch established and taught the first school in Virginia City, in 1863, and three years later inaugurated the Academy Hill School in Helena, which was made a brilliant suc­cess. Mr. Patch is an able instructor, and is now performing services for Arizona which so greatly profitted this Territory in its in­fantile says. Should Mr. Patch revisit Mon­tana now he would discover some grand strides in educational matters carried to their fruition in the past decade. Noble struc­tures devoted to school purposes have been reared in that time, and hundreds of pupils are in attendance in all the towns, instruct­ed by the best teachers. Mr. Patch is en­gaged in an important educational work, and success, we are sure, will attend all his ef­forts in so laudible an undertaking.

The River Press of January 5th says: Charles D. Conrad and Miss Alcia D. Stan­ford were married on Tuesday morning, at the residence of the bride’s mother, by the Rev. C. S. Blackiston, and left immediately for a trip to the States. Mr. Conrad is one of the successful business men of Benton, and his lovely bride one of the most popular of its fair daughters. The Herald extends hearty congratulations and wishes the couple abundant prosperity in their voyage through life. _______

On Friday morning last the office of the Boulder Mining Company, at Cataract City, was destroyed by fire. At the time of the fire no one was about the building, Major Thornton, the Superintendent, being away at

its maximum until the end of 1882, therefore my opinion is that the coming winter will be characterized by great and sudden changes in atmospheric pressure, and consequently by heavy precipitation—that is, heavy rains in the South and heavy snows in the North, w ith generally extreme low temperature.”

D eath by F reezing .

At Fort Assinaihpine, a hunter named Biggs, by his assertions that he had several hundred pounds of wild meat concealed in a coulee some miles from the Fort, inveigled a party of soldiers into getting permission to go and get it for the post’s consumption. Upon arrivifig atrihe spot indicated no meat was found, and the party concluded, rather than go home empty handed, they w'ould hunt some game themselves, and separated for that purpose. Upon reassembling, one of their number, Severance by name, was miss­ing. After a long search his lifeless body was found. His tracks in the snow indicated that he had probably become bewildered and had w'alked about in a circle for some time. His body was brought into Assinniboine. Mr. Severance was a member of Captain Paul’s company K. Bigg’s conduct in the premises is inexplicable.

A Close Call.

On Friday the good people of Walkerville had every reason to believe that an earthquake had occurred in that vicinity. The shock was not violent, however, and it soon became evident that there was no cause for alarm. It subsequently appeared 'that the commotion was occasioned by the explosion of fourteen sticks of giant powder in the shaft house of the Moulton. I t seems that the

Church of this district commenced last Sat­urday evening, and continued through sev­eral days of the present week. The proceed­ings were of the usual order, and were quite interesting to those concerned, as well as to a goodly sprinkling of visitors. At the Sunday evening meeting a Chinaman was admitted to fellowship in the Church. This Christian Chinee, who recently arrived from Portland, Oregon, is the first to take membership in a Virginia Church. The attendance of Mon­golians at the services, however, is quite large, and we understand a Chinese class has been founded in the M. E. Sabbath school, with Mrs. S. R. Herndon as teacher. I t is said the members are quite attentive to the lessons and studies, and hopes are entertained of a large flock of converts, after a while.

Proposed Land G rant to the C anada Pacific R a ilro ad .

The Toronto Globe claims to have obtained trustworthy information as to the terms of the contract with the Canada Pacific railway syndicate. It states that the line is to be di­vided into three sections, for the construction of which payments in money • made by the Government will vary according to the cost of the work. For the first section, from Nip- ing, from 14 tests, 82 to 2,287 ounces of silver lssing to 1 bunder Bay, north of Lake Super-j lUi1 »„„.t

From this statement it appears that the two terminal sections, together abottt the same length as the intervening section, will cost the Government nearly three times as much money and four times as mtxch land. To give the figures, the terminal sections will cost $18,600,000 and 20,000,000 acres, and the intervening section will cost $6,400,000 and5.000. 000 acres.

The R om ance o f M ining.

An Arizona correspondent of the Los Angles Herald gives someth ing of the romance of mining in that country. He says; “A certain miper owed a merchant here $110 and on coming to pay his note had only a $100. The merchant tore up the note re­marking that it was all right, “put me on a claim you discover.” The miner did it and the claim has since been sold for $40,000. Another former resident of Los Angeles dis­covered a mine in the Dragoon Mountains, and kindly placed a friend in the claim. After a while he was offered $75,000 for it. The whiskey-eyed individual who had not put up a dollar in the claim, concluded: “Worth (hie) a million (hie) it’s worth a eent (hie). Won’t sell (hie) for any $75,000 (hie). Our wives will be dressed in silk’ (hie) • àown in Los Angeles (hie-).” The result was the parties bought out the sober partner and are now engaged in the pleasant labor of freezing out the would be millionaire.
