iMK Tax of «2.00 per Thonsnnd.

Several days ago the H e r a l d announced the action of the authorities at Washington in regard to the seizure of lumber, and also the fact that Marshal Wheeler, in accordance with his instructions from the Secretary of the Interior, had seized the lumber, lath and shingles of Holter & Bro. and Sanford & Evans, amounting in the aggregate to 250,- 000 feet. This action of the Washington authorities has caused a good deal of annoy­ance to dealers as well as builders, to say nothing of the actual loss resulting there­from. There is now a prospect that the pres­ent difficulties will be speedily overcome and that a settlement will be made on the basis of the proposition of the Secretary of the Interior. The following is the dispatch re- cieved by U. S. Attorney Anderson last night:

W a s h in g t o n , D. C., Dec. 12, 1877.S . & Anderson, U. S. District Attorney,

Helena, M. T.Your telegram is received. The Secretary

of the Interior recommends that in all cases of seizure of lumber that have been made in Montana settlement be made at two dollars per thousand feet. You are instructed ac­cordingly.

CHAS. DEVENS, Attorney General.

----- m «« 4 4 ^» »► » —Improvements.

Among the recent improvements on Main street we note the completion of a paint shop, by Paj'nter, Brown & Weisenhorn. It is built of brick, one story high, 40 feet square, and is fire-proof. The paint room proper is 22x40, and the varnish room 18x40. The building is so arranged that an even temper­ature can be maintained during the coldest weather, which is essential in finishing fine work. By reference to the advertisement of this firm it will be seen that they are prepared to do carriage painting and carriage trim­ming, they having recently imported from the East skilled workmen in each of these branches. Carriage trimming is of itself a separate trade, and it remains to be seen if there is enough work in the country to keep a fast and skillful workman at work. Such enterprise should be well patronized. Sam­ples of painting now being turned out are a sufficient advertisement for that department.

Matrimonial.

With unfeigned pleasure wc announce the departure of another bachelor of Helena— not to that undiscoverable bourne from whence no traveler returns—but to the realms of matrimonial felicity and domestic bliss. We refer to the marriage of our young friend Byron F. Strong to Miss Iantha English. The happy event transpired last night at the residence of the bride's parents, in this city, Kev. Clark Wright officiating. Quite a num­ber of the intimate friends of the bride and groom were present, and the occasion, we learn, was interesting and enjoyable. Our congratulations are tendered to the newly wed­ded couple, and best wishes for a long life of uninterrupted tranquility and unalloyed hap­piness.

K iv c r M itlin g .

Mr. M. Lissner yesterday showed us a model of a river mining boat, such as are used for placer mining on the rivers in California, They are in successful operation in that State and we see no reason why the project could not be carried out successfully in Montana. If it could be made a success there would be “millions in it,” for there are hundreds of miles of river bed in the Territory that doubt­less contain gold in sufficient quantities to pay. ̂ ^ __

The Grand Ball Given to itc T. §. Army Officers Stationed in Montana.

The most brilliant social çvent of the sea­son, if not the grandest affair of the kind that has transpired in Helena for some years, was the citizens reception to the officers of the U. S. Army stationed in Montana, which took place last night in the Assembly Room of the public school building. And while we are disposed to be moderate in estimating such events, it would not be an exaggeration to state that it was the most elegant military assemblage there has ever been in Montana. Nearly all the officers of the Third Infantry stationed in Helena, and several of the Second Cavalry and Seventh Infantry were present, and participated in the festivities of the in­teresting occasion. At 9 o’clock the band struck up the Grand March, and dancing con­tinued until 3 in the morning. The orchestra consisted of eleven pieces of the famous Third Infantry band, under the leadership of that accomplished musician, Henry C. Yaeger, and was the finest music ever produced in this city on a similar occasion. The following is the programme, carefully prepared by the committee on music, and which was strictly carried out :

ated, presenting a most attractive appearance, and was brilliantly lighted, while the floor, having been waxed, was in perfect condi­tion, enabling the gay dancers to “ trip the light fantastic” with the utmost ease and grace. The ladies were richly attired, many of the toilets being of the most fashionable and subperblv beautiful that we have ever seen, and the fair ones were unusually affable, charming, and attractive.

THE SUPPER.

At 12 o’clock supper was announced and the guests repaired to the Cosmopolitan hotel, where a most bounteous repast was served up by Messrs. Schwab & Zimmerman. It was one of the best suppers ever gotten up in this city and reflected much credit upon these well known caterers. About 130 guests ans- were to the call and gathered around the fes­tive board, the officers aud their ladies first, and the civilians at the second table.

The following were the various commit­tees, to all of whom much praise is due for the admirable manner in which they conduc­ted the reception and made it such a grand success :

Nouriahing Blood*The blood impart» to the body the elements which

are essential to its existence. When these are insuffi­ciently supplied, its energies begin to flag, there is a loss of flesh, the muscles grow flaccid, the reflective powers lose vigor—every function is disturbed, every organ weakened. Under these circumstances, it is obvious that the constitutien must soon give way un­less the vital fluid is enriched. To accomplish this object, recourse should be had without delay to that grand fertilizer of the blood. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which promotes assimilation of the food and is the means of rendering the circulation rich and ac­tive. The good effects of the great tonic are speedily apparent in a gain of bodily vigor and mental energy. A regular action of the various organs also results from its use, the good work of bodily reform goes rapidly on, and eventually health is established upon a sure basis.
