4 HoRsE PUMrISG WArER.-One OF
our friends in Ridley has two horses which
60 to the pump in his barn yard, almost
daily, and pump water for their own use.
One ofthese animals commenced this sim
gular feat last summer, and since then
has learned his fellow to go through the
same operation. 1t is really amusing to
see one Of these horses put his mouth to
the nozzle of the pump, while the o.her
is engaged in drawing water. The han.
die OF the pump Is OF wood, and the end
used by the horses has been great Y
gnawcd off. Tue above fac. can be au-
thenticated by numerous respectable per
sons who have witnessed the horses draw
ing water when their necessities require
it.-DeldCare Co. Rep.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM
UTAH

The New York times contains some in.
teresting news from Utah. The Nor.
mons are giving utterance to dire threat,
en'ngs, drawn forth by the approach ol
the troops towards the Territory. Brig.
ham young has made two inhammator
speeches to the Saints declaring il to be
the duty Of the faithful TO resist the ef.
forts put forth by the government for
thc'r eXtlrmnation and stating, in posi-
tive terms, that separation of the king
/ dom from every other kingdom is close
at lsni-in other words, that the ACT of
the government in despatching troops
against Utah is TO be considered fair
ground tor refusing to yield obedience to
federal laws. Brigham moreover asserts,
that should government seud other off
ciaIs to Utah Of the same stamp as those
who h I'VE heretofore been commissioned,
they will require more than twenty five
hundred soldiers TO protect them from
Mormon fury We make the following
extracts from one of Brigham's speeches !:
"ihe time must come when there will
bc separation between this kingdom
and the Kingdoms of the world, even in
every poimt Of view. The time must
come when this kingdom must be free
and independent from all other kingdoms.

AWFUL P0ISO MING CASE
PIKE2
TiilRTY.SEvES POISoNED--sIX DEAD--A TER
RlBLE RETRIBUTION.
7 From Me Monigomcra (AlaN lInM

From The Montgomery (AIa) Mail
One of our subscribers, from Pike coun.
ty, informed us yesterday Of a most hor-
rhIc and atrocIous case of poisoning in
that county, just below the line Of Mont
gomery, and in the neighborhood OF
Grucevijle. The annals of crime will
hardly show more extensive and diabol
ical piece Of viilany.
1t seems that Il German, or Hungarian,
whose name our informant had forgotten,
was on intimate terms with negro wu.
man, the property of old Mr.. Thomas
trozcIl, one of the earliest settlers of
Pike. This man had once been in the
employment of Mr.. f., and WAS familiar
with his premises. Some time since, he
had been detected in gambling with Mr..
RS negroes, and Mr.. +. had instituted a
prosecution against him. On Saturday
evening, l2th inst, he was seen in con-
vcrsatlon with the negro woman alluded
to, at the well, although he had received
orders from Mr.. FrazeIl never to come
about his premises.
On Sunday, there were some Mirty-
Scrcn persons dining at Mr. Frazci's
house, Of whom about thirty were viSi
tons from the mcighho!hood All these
became sick soon after eating, vomiting
violently, and the cook being arrested i'm
mcdatelv, on suspicion of poisoning,
at once proceeded To state as follows =
She SAID that the white man above referr-
ed 10, while at the well, had giveu her a
vial containing arsenic, which he inStruc.
butter, the milk AMI the coffee He was
particularly desirouS that it should 90 into
every article Of food, because old Mr..
Frazell WAS in delicate health, and gene.
rally ate very spariugly. The negro wo.
man said, she :oIiowcd the direction of
her lover 10 the leLter-who, by the way
added TO his instructions the remark, that
after The old man had taken that, he
would hardly prosecute him in that case.
lhc poison WAS administered, AS we
have seen, but top successfully. The
whole a>sembIage of persons were put
under lis influence aud at the last ac
counts six had died from lis effects. Old
Mr. frazel died about sunset of Sunday,
the day of the poisoning. His ovcrseer's
wife and two children Mrs Cloud, a
widowed daughter "f Mr.. f.; and Mr..
rs. granddaughter died the next day.
Several others were yiug in critical con
dltion, and doubtless there Wi. be more
victims Of this awlalIy iieudiSh crime.

The seats and desks in the Hall Of
Representatives will be so arranged as to
afford to each of 282 members separate
desks and chairs. The arrangement will
be similar TO that which has been found
so convenient and acceptable in the pres

Of the House will no longer be crowded

he might be educated, accompanied by a
note, in which the father said Of his hope

The eccentric but shrewd divine kept
the youth few weeks under his care, but
then sent him back to his father with the
following Iaconic message:
