The Pioneer, in noting the arrival, at Missoula, of one of our "solid" men, pays that gentleman the following handsome compliment: "Matt. Carroll, one of the oldest inhabitants, has been in town for several days. He left for Helena on yesterday morning's coach. Matt is eminently entitled to be regarded as one of the earliest Pioneers, having come to'the mountains from St. Louis nearly seventeen years ago.

Coming to Fort Benton, in 1809, he engaged in the mercantile business at that point, driv ing a brisk and profitable trade with the tu dians, and white men visiting that outpost of civilization. Some three years ago he closed up his business at that point, and made a somewhat extended visit to the old folks in Scotland. Returning after an absence of several mojitlis from the Territory, he aided in the organization of the Diamond fast freight line, with which he is still connected, and in whose interest he visited our town recently. Matt is one of the many men that are to be met with in the mountains who de nied themselves early in life, "the genial influences of civilization," and sought an 'abid ing place' in these wilds, and we are glad to say that for this isolation and attendant hard fortune has smiled propitiously upon him." Mr. Henry McFarland, of Helena, arrived, here last Saturday evening, and is engaged at the drag store of Air.
