the name of Burts, who had taken some small
change from his fathers till, and decamped, and
falling in with two vilanous boys worse than him
self-one, the worst of all, called Hodgkins; and
the other by the name of Hughes-they proceeded
to Smiths cottage, where they hired one of his
boats, which he let's at rs cents a day. He uses
stones about foot in diameter, with iron rings fast
ened in them, as anchors for his boats, which are
made fast TO the boats by means of chain or rope.
One of these stones was lying in the boat the boys
hired. They went off with Smiths boat; and, as is
confidently believed, when out of sight, Hodgkins
and Hughes tied the boy Burts to the stone anchor,
and cast him overheard; for he was never seen az
forwards. 1t is supposed Hodgkins did this dia-
bolcal act to get the money the boy had pnrloned.
They ran off with Smiths boat, which he was
much roabled to recover; but finally stumbled on
il where they had abandoned it, mile or two be-
low his place.
The boy Hodgkins, known to be Of desperate
character, was arrested and tried for murder; but
was acquitted for want of positive evidence of his
guilt. He, however, stands committed for other
offences. A precocious villain, should say

The Mormon difficulties still continue
BY the proclamation Of Gov. Ford, il will be
perceived that blood has been she'd, and by
an article Gom the Chicago News, that the
two forces are marsIalIed in somewhat for
mdable array. By an Article from the News
published in our last, what we believe the
true STATE Of the case was untolded. From
all indications that portion of Illinois is
blessed with tie most rascally population
that niesis the footstool. They are envi-
Gus of the superior rrosperity--'he peacca-
bic and industrious habits of their Mormon
ueghbors, and are determined to get rid OF
this standing rebuke of their own wicked
ness. For this purpose they commenced the
attack on the Mormon settlements. Thus
far the Mormons have held their own sue
ccssiuIly. Whether they will continue to
do it, is uncertain. Whether Gov. Ford
will succeed in raising force which will en-
able him TO quell tie disturbance remains 10
b. seen; lac has not been able 10 do il as
ye!. Such outbreaks may always be ex-
pecied among brutal population, where
there is mole of the animal than the man,
aud it is a matter for reflection, whether the
freedom of republican constitution, as a
matter of justice or policy should be awar.
@ed tLem. In reality, those only are capa-
bic of self government, in whom tie intel
lect rises shove these blind passions and
prejudices; and the only argument in favor
of extending freedom 10 such people, is
that although they may wade through much
evil.lhe good will be quicker aud more rea-
Oily developed under system free tho't
and action. There is vast d ference be-
tween people OF different locations. In the
whole population of this region. we doubt
whether one man could be found, that could
be inspi ed by similar motives to similar
acts. We hope the Mormons will succeed
in furnishing their oppressors as They de-
serve and then leave such sillainous pop
ulaton TO their own wickedness.
