THY THAT SHERIFF CLOVER WAS

ABLE TO MAKE OUT THE RETURNS
HIMSELF. The Board, except the clerks,
paid but little attention to the counting up of
the votes. We were kept up till about twelve
o'clock, and then, to my.astonishment, found
the clerks had not yet completed the returns,
and they had TO send for Hugh A. Thompson
to arrange them. The additions may have
been made by the Clerks by twelve o'clock !;
of this | am not certain; but they could not
close the returns, and the lateness of the hour,
and the confused positioni in which the Clerks
had them, influenced the Clerks and President
to send for Mr.. Thompson.

An intelligent gentleman Of fortune once vs-
tied country village in Maine, not very far
from Bangor and was hospitality entertained
and lodged by gentleman having three daugh
tcrs-two of whom, in rich dresses, entertained
the distinguished stranger in the parlor, while
one kept herself in the kitchen, assisting her
mother in preparing the food and setting the ta-
bic for tea, and after supper in doing the work
till it was fully completed; when she also joined
her sisters in the porlor for the remainder OF the
evening. The next morning the same daughter
was again early IN the kitchen, while the other
two were in the paror. The gentleman, like
Franklin. possessed discriminating mind-was
n close observer of the habits of the yonng Ia
dies-watched an opportunity and whispered
something in the car of the Industrious one, and
then left for time, but revisited the same fam
ilv, and in about one year the young lady OF the
kitchen was conveyed to Boston, the wife OF the
same gentlcmanly visitor, wnore she now pre-

whose fortune she shares, she won by judlclous

Rise and Progress of Mormonism
in England,

The following history of the propagation of
the Mormon doctrines in England was contained
in a speech of Mr.. John Hyde, Jr, at recent
Convention of Mormons IN London.
We quote from the London Sun of June 3D.
The speaker then adverted to the progress of
the Church" in England, observing that in
1897, one year before the saints reached Nau-
VOC, Elders X. G. Kimball and Orson Hyde, to-
gether with several others, landed at Liverpool,
friendless and destitute. They separated and
went forth, preaching into the towns on either
side. Preston first heard and obeyed the prln-
ciples of truth. In eight months, seven hundred
members met in conference in that town, re-
oicing in the power and privilege of the Cos
pei. In very short time, several counties,
among which were Yorkshire, Cheshire, Lam
cashire, stafford, Gloucester, Worcester, and
Hereford, had heard and received the servants
of God. Thus the church increased so that
in 1910, after three years labor, the general
conference reported 1926 members, and 363 in
the priesthood making in all 4,0l9 saints.
But such triumphant success was not confn-
ed to England; Scotland enjoyed a portion, and
Ireland was also made to rejoice, and Wales
testified, by her thousands, how the Church had
progressed in that province. In Scotland the
bood-cemened pyramid of bigotry and super
stllion had been triumphantly attacked, although

Restoration Of Sight.

We see it stated that Mr., J. ]. Ball, OF N. T.
has rontB patented an instrument for the resto-
ration Of sight to aged persons, which IS as I'M
portant as it is simple. 1t is described as con-
sistinr merely of n hollow India rubber ball at
tached to a cup which fits on the eye The air
is first partially expelled from the ball by pres
sure between the fingers, before the cup is ap-
phod to the eye. On removing the pressure
the ball distends, and partial vacuum is pro-
ducod, drawing on the eye and tending TO res
tore ITS convexity. The pressure is regulated,
according to pleasure. The price Of the instr-
ment is $3.50.
The following is the explanation Of the inven-
tor
"Tho cause Of the. decline of sight is the
hattenng of the lens or'cornea of the eye; and
the object of this instrument is to restore the
convexity If lost, and to preserve it if first be-
ginning to decline. Having tried the effect up
on myself, I can speak with confidence, for from
having been unable for the last six years to
read Or discern the form of any letter, can now
after trial of six months, read without the aid
of glasses, This is effected by simple instr-
ment, made upon philosophical principles, by
which the cornoa of the eye is gradually raised
to its original convexlty, causing the locus to
lmpnge upon the rotina without the aid of con-
vex lens; and will be accomplished ten-fold
more rapidly than the sight declined The ap-
picaton will be made once or twice week
with less trouble than that Of shaving, and no
loss of time, as it is most conveniently applied
after retiring to bed"

next gave brief sketch of the progress of the
work in London. In February, 1871, the Lon.
don Conference was organized, consisting OF
three branches-London, Woolwich, and Bed
ford, and composed of about eighty members.-
The number of members, in 1912, had increas-
ed to 400 or 500, and the number of branches
had more than trebled. During the last five
years, 1881 persons had yielded in obedience
to the Gospel. In the present year, the Confer
enco fell to the presidential charge Of the pres
ont Chairman, Elder Eli B. Kelsey, whose
knowledge had been tested, and whose actions
spoke well for his wisdom and discretion. AT
ter an earnest appeal that he might be enabled
to guide them Alright in the blessed path before
them, he concluded by expressing hope that
this might be new era in the Conference, and
that the epoch to come might be one of success

waving their golden abundance in the breeze
and sunshine, the plantation of the Father of
Mercies? He is the God of the living, and
behold, here are their lavish supplies. The faith
which can see God in the grave yard, may sure
ly discern him in the bountiful farms of our
own greatly favored country. And when we
consider that every ear of corn and wheat eve
ry blade of grass, every flower and cluster of
fruit, is at once the evidence of infinite power
and unlimited goodness, who can fail, at this
season of the year especially, to indulge emo
tons of gratitude and admiring praise to the
