Accident.Yesterday afternoon, while Messrs. Gilbert

and Simonton were at work on the cornice of Dr. Frary’s residence, the scaffold gave way. Mr. Gilbert, quick as thought, grasped one of the studding in the building, and, after se­vere exertion, managed to climb within and reach the joice. Mr. Simonton was precipi­tated a distance of nearly 30 feet, striking on his face, hands and breast on the foundation for a bay window. No limbs were broken, yet he sustained severe contusions and inter­nal injuries, which for a time it was thought would prove fatal. It will be some time be­fore he can resume work. Considering the circumstances, it is really wonderful that he was not instantly killed. Mr. Gilbert is at work to-day, although he feels much the worse for wear in his breast and arms.

feheei» in Montana.The Amerioan Agriculturist for the cur­

rent month contains, in its “sheep” depart­ment, the following: “ ‘R. P .’ writes me an interesting letter from Western Montana. They have an abundance of bunch grass, and common sheep brought from Oregon some years ago are remarkably healthy and hardy. He wants to raise sheep principally for their wool, and asks what kind of a ram he should get to cross their common ewes with, lie wants to know about Cotswolds. My own experience withCotswold grades has been in raising them for mutton as well as wool. For wool alone, I think I should pre­fer to get good improved American Merino rams, and cross them with common ewes.”

Itcdnction of Stase Fare.Messrs. Gilmer & Salisbury announce the

following reductions in passenger fare over their several stage lines, to apply to all peo­ple attending the Territorial Fair in their conveyances of transportation. The reduc­tion will be in force from September 25th to October 2d, 1875, inclusive :From Lovell’s to Helena and return.. ...$28

A Change in the Firm.The familiar, well-known firm name of J.

II. Ming & Co., wholesale and retail dealers in stationery, fancy goods, etc.,—the leading firm of the Territory in their line—has been dissolved by limitation. Mr. Ming, who counts his cattle away above a thousand head, and who is now extensively engaged in push­ing mining enterprises, concluded to retire from business, and has sold^out to Chas. K. Wells the entire stock on hand and in transit. Of the many young men in business in Hel­ena, none are more deserving than Mr. Wells. For ten years he has been with Mr. Ming, the past several years as partner and sole manager of business matters. He has been faithful, hard-working, honorable in his deal­ings, and we, together with a host of friends, rejoice at his well-earned prosperity.

W hitehall, September 15.To the Editor of the Herald.

It is with a sad heart that I write you con­cerning the sad accident that occurred last Saturday, 11th inst., about 3 o’clock p. m., whereby this community has been suddenly robbed of one of its estimable and honored citizens, Mr. Isaac Dawson. He, in com­pany with E. G. Brook, Thomas Word and Mr. Belcher, was fishing with a seine in Jef­ferson river, near the mouth of White-tail Deer Creek. After fishing for most of the day in a slough with poor success, they pro­ceeded to the main channel of the stream at the mouth of the slough. They wTere just starting out, Air. D. (who was a good swim­mer) taking the lead. He soon found the channel deeper than was expected, and the water so swift that he could not well return. Seeing the situation, his comrades told him to hold to the rope and they would draw him back. But he let go, and commenced to swim down the stream, his friends supposing he would come to shore below. But, alas ! ere they wrere aware of the situation they sawT him begin to sink. Every effort was made for his rescue, but he was too far out in the deep, rapid stream, and beyond the reach of help, and went down to rise no more. It was two hours before the body could be re­covered, and the cheerful, happy man, who left his home in the health and strength of strong manhood in the morning, was brought back a lifeless corpse.

Justice Higley, from Boulder, being in the neighborhood, summoned a jury and held an quest.

On Monday the remains were followed by a large concourse of citizens to Fish Creek, where funeral services were held, Rev. E. J. Stanley officiating, and thence to the grave­yard, where the last tribute of respect wTas paid to the deceased.

Mr. Dawson was born in Yorkshire, Eng­land, but his parents removed to Wisconsin soon after. At the age of 15 he went to Cal­ifornia; from thence to Montana in !G4. Was married in Bozeman to Miss M. Josephine Davis, daughter of Don. J. J. Davis, April 29, 1874 He engaged most of the time in mining. He was an industrious, energetic man, honorable and upright in ail his deal­ings, affable in his manner, an agreeable neighbor, and respected by all. He was a tender-hearted and affectionate husband, and leaves a wife and one child to mourn his un­timely loss. Suddenly cut down in the prime and vigor of life, his loss will be deeply felt by those who knew him best. How import­ant that we should ever be ready for the Master’s call. May the rich blessings of an ever compassionate Heavenly Parent, whose tender mercies are over all, rest upon the sad­ly afflicted family. PASTOR.

Stock Sale.Mr. E. Haskell, of Silver Creek, yesterday

sold to Messrs. HunnewTell & Berghoffer a band of 102 bead of cattle, consisting of 36 cows and calves and the balance yearlings and two year olds. The average price per head paid was $13. Hunnewell and Berg­hoffer are industrious, well-to-do young men, who for years past have successfully prose­cuted mining operations at Silver. Mr. Has­kell is an old and highly esteemed resident of the same place, w7ho has long been engaged in stock growing and placer mining, jftay they all continue to prosper as they richly deserve.

New Discoveries.Several leads have recently been discovered

on Little Creek, in Prickly Pear Canyon, by Messrs. Craig, Wagner, Harvey and Brown. The “Hunter’s Reward” shows a crevice of five feet, and an assay from the top rock show’s silver $11.40, and 6£ per cent, copper. “Craig’s Lead,” 17 feet crevice, assays in silver $4.20, and 14 ̂ per cent, in copper. The leads will immediately be developed, and we should not be surprised if they prove to be valuable discoveries. These are the first leads, we believe, ever struck in Prickly Pear Canyon.

NOTICE.

This is to notify all persons from buying or taking in payment, a certain note drawn December 9th. 1873, in favor of one John J Cable for one hundred dollars and bearing interest at 2 per cent, a month, as I will not become responsible for the same.

A Card from the Sisters of Charity.St. J ohn's Hospital, Helena, M. T.,)

September 17 th, 1S75. /To the editor of the Herald.

Allow7 us a little space in your valuable paper to correct one of the many misstate­ments contained in “An Open Letter” of the Hon. James Fergus, which appeared in your issue of the 15th. “You have showed me,” says the Honorable gentleman, Pan asylum ichere you are keeping the Territorial insane at $12 a week, formerely kept by you for the county for $5.” This statement is unfair, not to say unjust to us. True, we have kept the insane for the county for $5 a week, but, then, the Honorable Commissioner should not have forgotten to mention, that the building wherein to house the insane w7as furnished us by the county ; that chains and shackles, the fitting and mending of the same ; medi­cines and medical attendance, and, whenever required, a guard to watch over and assist in managing the insane, were provided for and paid by the county ; wrbile with regard to the Territorial insane, the amount paid by the Territory, viz., $12 a week, is intended to cover all and every expense connected writh the keeping and caring for the same ; and, further, the payment from the Territory is in Territorial warrants, which are, as all know, always at a considerable discount.

Regretting very much the unpleasant task of being obliged to correct through the public press a misstatement so unjustly reflecting on us and our conduct, we remain, with great respect, your obedient servants,

TIIE SISTERS OF CHARITY,In charge of St. John’s hospital and of the Territorial

Items.—Choice seasoned wood is delivered

throughout the city at $5 per cord.—Loeb Bros, have leased the building

formerly occupied by Johnson & Toole.—Helena Engine Company No. 2, propose,

if possible, to build a concrete house this fall for the use of the engine and truck. It is needed.

—Messrs. Johnson & Toole, and District Attorney Toole, have leased rooms in the Schwab new7 building, up stairs, and have removed thereto.

—W. A. Chessman has purchased of D. A. G. Flowerree the fine residence property, corner of Sixth avenue and Ewing street. Consideration, $3,500.

—Miss M. Walker, recently returned to her home from high graduating honors in the States, will open in this city a private school the first Monday in October.

—The propeller Comet, which sunk in Lake Superior on the 25th of August, had on board 10,000 pounds of wool shipped by Cook Bros., Camp Baker, and 3,000 pounds by Jno. Potter, of the same place. The First National Bank also had a number of tons of ore on board. Fortunately the whole was covered by full insurance, and our shippers will meet with no losses thereby.

—Elizur Beach, on his ranch, a few miles below the city, is building a large and hand­some residence, wrhich, when completed, will be the finest in the valley. The cost, includ­ing a well of water in the cellar, and many modern improvements about the house, will be in the neighborhood of $3,500. Mr. Beach has recently completed a fine barn, at a cost of $1,500, and Las otherwise improved his valley home.

—Peter Peterson has leased his Beaver Creek Hotei to Mr. D. L. Shafer, of Missouri Valley, who will take charge of the house next Monday. Knowing Mr. Shafer person­ally, wre believe he will make a popular landlord ; and the traveling public may be assured that he and his estimable lady will do all in their power to render their guests comfortable. Mr. Peterson has purchased the Irvin & Todd lot, at the head of Main street, where Peterson & Frieler will open a butcher shop as soon as a suitable building can he erected.

From the Daily Herald of September 18.Pinney’s Flight.

A Montanian now in San Francisco, writes us under date of September 10th: “Pinney has left the city, and none of his friends or family know where he has gone, except that he sailed out of the Golden Gate in a ship. I think he has gone to South America to join Tom Conner, whom he sent there last winter. Those most intimate with his business mat­ters can find no reasoa for bis going away in the manner hi did. Paymaster Spaulding,of the navy office, assures me that all of Pin- ney’s affairs with the Government are straight and correct. If anything furtner turns up I will let the H erald know.” The article from the Oakland Tribune, printed in our issue of Friday, stated among other things that Pinney had paid his Montana indebted­ness. This is a mistake, as we learn upon inquiry. Here in Helena some thousands of dollars of claims against Pinney are still un­satisfied. That of C. M. Travis is probably the most considerable, amounting with inter­est to more than $5,000. Travis endorsed Pinney’s paper to the extent of $3,500, which Travis, at great inconvenience and embarrass­ment, had to pay. It was a cruel hardship, visited upon a citizen illy able to bear it, and from which he has suffered to this day. Captain Mills, of the Northwest, is also a creditor of Mr. Pinney’s to the amount of $900 or more, due as editorial wages on the old Montana Post. The printers and other employees of the defunct paper have also various sums due them, which they need and would be grateful to receive. Others here are in the same fix, and would have been glad to have had George remit a part of his coin to Montana instead of taking the whole of it with him to South America.

“A Thing; of Beauty is a Joy Forever.”

There is probably not a store in Helena where an hour, or a much longer time, can be so pleasantly passed as at the new jewelry rooms of Albert Chaxel & Co. They already have on hand a very large and carefully se­lected stock of jewelry, to which almost daily additions are being made by express. An examination of their many and varied styles of ladies watches and opera chains ; ladies’ and gents’ rings, with or without settings ; cases of the latest designs in shirt-studs, buttons and cuff-buttons; gold and silver watches; gents’ neck and vest-chains; a hun­dred novelties in charms and fancy jewelry; elaborate and extensive displays of silver ware ; beautiful ebromos decorating the walls ;—an examination, we repeat, of these many things pleases the eye and delights the senses. And there are a few things Messrs. Chaxel & Co. desire the public to konw—that they purchased these goods very low down for cash, and they propose to sell at a very close margin. In order that the public may satisfy themselves on this point, they are cordially invited to call, inspect the quality and quantity of goods, and ascertain the prices. Believing that by marking their goods down to a small margin they will greatly enhance their cash or reliable sales, they have adopted this as a standing motto, and their success is assured.

Personal.—United States Marshal Wheeler has re­

turned from his recent visit to the West Side.—L. Marks arrived home last night from a

trip through the National Park, hearty and healthy. His comrades, Messrs. Singer and Jackson, will arrive to-night.

—Capt. Nick. Wall—a man whom all Mon- tanians know and highly respect—favored the H erald sanctum this morning with a pleasant call. These mountains more than the States are dear to the veteran Captain, who helped to pioneer the way here and open up this riculy favored land in the early days of ’G2.

—The steamer C. W. Mead, from Benton, passed Bismarck on the 1st inst. The Key West, with the Secretary of War and party on board, arrived at Bismarck on the 2d inst.

—Gen. Mead, manager of the Northern Pacific, promises to keep the road open and trains running to Bismarck this winter. Whereat the citizens of that place rejoice muchly.

—Rumor pleasantly associates a former Helena merchant, now a popular hotel pro­prietor in “The Future Great City of the West,” with a matrimonial event soon to transpire in “America.”

—Capt. Wall says that the Utah Northern is an entire success for the distance that it is in operation. He is of the opinion that the narrow gauge is the road for Montana—or the road possible for this Territory to attain in a comparatively brief time.

—The number of trotting and running horses is increasing daily in the stables of the M. A. M. and M. A. Two large addi­tional stables have recently been built to af­ford sufficient accommodations for the ani­mals. It will be hard guessing the right horse this year.

—During the week ending September 13tb, over 200,000 pounds of ore reached Corinne from Montana. The greater portion of it was shipped to Baltimore, but the destination of some of it was Germany. The shipment of ore is becoming an important item with freighters, as it furnishes loading for them on their return trip at fair prices.

—The Bismarck Tribune, of the 1st inst., prints a three-column letter from Wm. W. Wheatly to his brother, Jack Wheatly, a re­sident of that place. The purport of the let­ter is that Wheatly was innocent in his heart of murder ; that Sterres and Shaffer were the guilty parties ; that he had made his peace with his God, and was prepared to die.

—Attention is directed to the attractive ad­vertisement of Messrs. Yawter & Co., whole­sale and retail grocers, Broadway. They make a specialty of the wagon trade, keep­ing constantly on hand a supply, of all sizes, of Fish Bros, and Bain wagons—the best wagons used in the West, manufactured ex­pressly for the trade in the mountains and on the plains. They sell here as cheap as ihey do at Corinne.

D R Y G O O D S N O T I C E !CASH SYSTEM ADOPTE»!

From aud after Monday, the'13th, we will sell goods for just what they are worth, ad­ding nothing for bad accounts, which un­avoidably creep in under the Credit System, and those who pay their bills promptly and pay Cash, will thereby avoid making up the losses of those who do not and cannot meet their bills on presentation. Under this sys­tem we have reduced our prices to such figures as will at once convince consumers of its practicability. Our remoteness from Eastern markets render it impossible for goods to reach us under Three Months, and it must necessarily suggest the importance of selling for Cash, or else Large Profits. A large number of cash buyers bave been com­pelled to send East for many classes of goods which they would prefer buying at home, which was unavoidable under the credit sys­tem of doing business ; but in making this change, we can and will make it to their interest to purchase in this market.

Call and convince yourself that you will save a large percentage under this change.

Efecfts of D issipation Counteracted.Alcoholic excesses cannot be too earnestly depre­

cated, both for their destructive effects upon the con­stitution and their pernicious influence npon man’s general welfare. At the same time there is little pro­bability that he will cease to indulge in them until the end of time. Common humanity would therefore seem to dictate the suggestion of the most efficient means of counteracting their effects. There is not among medicated stimulants one so admirably calcu­lated to counteract the physical consequences of hard drinking as Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, wrhich relieve the nausea and headache produced by it, steady the trembling nerves, and yield that unfeverish repose which is the best récupérant of health shaken by ex­cess. The bilious symptoms caused by dissipation are^promptly relieved' by the Bitters, which are also an excellent remedy for all disorders affecting the stom- ache, bowels, liver and uninary organs, to which it imparts unwonted regularity and tone.

We have made arrangements whereby we shall be enabled to furnish Dressed Lumber, Doors, Sash, Blinds, etc., immediately, and our customers may rely on having their orders filled without delay as hereto­fore.
