Dear Sir: We have been marching for some
fifteen days in the heart of the BruIe country,
but all the original proprietors of the land aps
pear to be away from home, for scarcely sign
Of one has been seen since we left Fort Lara
mie. All the old trails run up towards the
mountains, a part of the country which we can
not penetrate at this late season of the year.
The weather already in this elevated region,
smacks strongly of winter; ice every night and
now and then a snow storm. On the Sd inst.
we had snow four inches deep. We are now
distant one hundred and twenty miles from
Fort Pierre, and if no Indians turn up shall
soon turn our faces towards that post in order
10 go into winter quarters. Gen. Harney's
fight on the Blue Water has frightened the ST.
oux greatly, and the different bands are most
anxious for peace, but no peace should be
made with them until an expedition penetrates
the MinecaDjou country, around the heads Of
little Missouri and Powder Rivers, and the
rowing bands in that part Of the country are
chastsed The work is but half done, and an
otsfer campaign will be required 10 coplete it.
sThe Season is now too far advanced to operate
furthef, but an early start next Spring will all
low every corner of the Sioux country 10 be
looked into, and lesson given to our red
neghbors which they have long required.
This va most singular country that we are
in at present. We are surrounded by the de-
bris of an anteduvian world, and at almost evs
cry step some rsHains of extinct species of am
imals and plants are discovered.
The bones 'ofthe rhinoeeros and the stems of
the fern are very abundant, indicating that at
some former periSd snow storms were not
quite so frequent as al present
People of those dsys, if any existed, must

GHere is the account of the Mormous BY
one who spent some time in Utah. 1t is given
by correspondent of the New York Tribune
as just what we might expect
NV friend gives a horrible account of the
moral and social condition of the Mormons,
with whom he spent three months. He left
them walfowing deeper and deeper in the
slough OF filthy sensuality, with certainty of
going from bad to worse till their whole fabric
of impostnre is exploded by the miseries it
creates and diffuses. He. says the women are
nearly all anxious to fly from the horrible den;
especially those who have been "seaed" as
the $spjritqal wives" Of the scoundrelly by
pocrites who propagate and uphold this mon>
strons delusion Nearly all the leaders have
three women each up to Brigham Yonng's
seventy, some of whom make poor living, by
washing the clothes of the U. Ssoldiers. Hun
dreds Of these deceived, abused women, secret
" attempt to beg the privilege of coming
away with the troops and trains passing from
time to time through, or coming from Salt
Lake city, but this cannot be allowed. Near>
Iy all wonld get away ifthey could. Such pic
lures Of dfstres and despair as are presented by
many of these deceived aud abandoned women
can be found nowhere else than in Utah. Hun
dreds of them never heard nor dreamed of the
spiritual wife system, until it burst upon their
amazed vision on their arrival at Salt Lake.
And such mixture of profanitYand blasphemy,
nonsense, ippudent assumption and buffoon-
cry, as is Contained in their sermons and other
religious exercises cannot be surpassed in the
world. A Gentle" of any account is care
fully watched from thehour he ventures among
them, and there is but little seruple as to the
means whereby troublesome intruder is dis
posed of.

A Singular Bear Story.

We have beard the particulars OF rather
singular bear story, which we tell our readers
as it was told u.s. Messrs J. S. Speck and
James Lowman, living at Rushve, in this
county, were out in the mountains between
Rockingham and Pendleton counties, hunting
up and sailing their cattle, when they came
across a very large he bear. Neither of them
having gun, and the animal seeming to be
kindly disposed, they resolved to attempt to
''drve" him to a certain point, where they knew
there was gentleman who had gun. They
cot bruin started in the direction Of the man
with the gun, and by dint of hurraing and
screaming, actually drove him into and along
a path, little over a mile, before he was shot.
He kept the path in which he was started
pretty well. Whenever he felt disposed to
leave it, they would ride out after him and
drive" him back again! He was shot, after
being driven in this way over mile, by Mr..
Noble Owens who had to shoot him seven or
eight times, with shot gun, before he was
dispatched What is the most singular, the
animal refused to run after the first shot which
took him in the side The bear was amonster
of his species
These facts we gather from a responsible
gentleman, who had them from the mouths Of
the gentlemen themselves who drove and killed
the bear, and who exhibit the skin of the AMI
NAL as proof of the truth of their rather sin>
gular bear - y Rockingham Register.

U"I will give ten dollars to know how
much corn l have in my crib" said farmer in
our hearing the other day. There is nothing
required TO be ascertained that is more simple.
A barrel of corn in the shuck is bushel. Each
barrel measures about four cubic feet; there
fore, all that is necessary to be done is to level
the corn in the crib, and multiply the length by
the breadth, and depth and divide the product
by 4, and the quotient will be the number Of
bushels of sheled corn in the crib.

Hoso to Produce Large Fruu.-The secret
consists in supporting the fruit, so that it shall
not be allowed to hang its whole weight upon
the stock, or to twist about in the wind. When
the fruit is allowed to hang naturally upon the
stoco, the increasing weight strains the stem
or twig, and thus lessons the quantity of nu-
tritious food flowing to the 9at. The fSpit
may be supported either by tieiDg it TO a
branch with a piaye ofSpatting. or by enclos-
ing it in a saiaiAsne EsoSNrs'9S1ich as dahIias
or peonies, WAY also be rendered much larger
by the adoPtfeapf Ills system.
