gives some further particulars of the
case of Mr.. + lis, who about two m ontbs

OROyMLE. FRIDAY, OCTOBER soTH. 1857.
The nIOruOns.

IL seems that matters between Uncle Sam
and the MormoDs are fast approaching a
climax. 1t is stated upon reliable authority
that the saints have declared themselves in
dependent, disowning any allegiance to the
general government and all other powers,
save the Church of Normoo. A war seems
10 be inevitable, and the sooner it is begun,
and Brigham Young and his co-workers in
iniquity are annhilated, the better will it be
for the safety and welfare of our frontier
settlements, and the interests Of the nation
at large. A large and well-provided army
should be sent to Salt Lake as coon as posi-.
BILE, and the war commenced with earnest
ness and determination. An inadequate
force will but make the matter worse, as
firing blank cartridges at mob only makes
the rioters more violent Peaceable meas
ures have been resorted to long enough
Brigham Young has been treated with con-
sidoration so long that he has become nso.
lent, and whatever is done to make his fol
lowers behave, he should be borne with no
longer. AS the prime cause of all the difi-
Guilty, he ought to bo treated as q traitor,
and hanged without benefit of clergy.

FERocIoUs BEAsT,-A little boy, not quite
two years old, was attacked by ferocious
sow, yesterday morning, in jackson street,
near Mason, and would probably have been
killed and eaten by the animal, but for the

rescued him. As it was, the little fellow
was seized by the right wrist and dragged
over hundred yards, through the thick

with sand. and his wrist badly acerated -

and little girl, became frightened when
almost opposite Musical Hall, on Bird street,
and starting off at fearful rate ran some
two or three squares. when in an effort to
stop the animal Mr. Burt turned her toward
fence, which movement turned the buggy
over, throwing out the occupants with much
violence. Both were more or less bruised
but neither was seriously injured. The
mares hind legs were badly cut, and the
buggy was literally smashed to pieces.

The Burgiaiious William.

The unfortunate finder of funny looking
keys, William Brown, was examined yester-
day forenoon before Justice Donoho, and
adjudged worthy of the consideration Of our
Court Of Sessions. William looked very de.
mure. and indeed felt too modest to receive
such distinguished attentions, and heard the
suggestion of the worthy Judge with marked
displeasure, uttering sundry low toned de.
nunciations of our police system,as he turned
from the presence of the Court. 1t seems a
pity to deprive of his liberty young gen
tleman who was just on the eve of an intro
duction to the very privacy of our best home
circles, but William wouldn't stay here VOL
unfairly, so, forsooth he must submit to n
little temporary restraint Some curious
persons tried the most singular of Mr..
Browns keys, and strange to say found
they were were perfectly capable of adapta.
tion to great many locks, for none Of which
they were exclusively constructed. This
gentleman formerly resided on the Bluff
near town, in a cabin with some friends, all
but one of whom have gone away on business
The one we refer to rejoices in the soubri-
quit of Camanche Charley, and is now board
ing in Carey's Hotel, in consequence of an
ill-timed visit to Judge Wells residence,

Mint official who was so perseveripg recent
ly in his efforts to fasten guilt on the Messrs
Blum clothing dealers on Montgomery street
by charging them with extortion, we learn,
has left the city and his whereabouts is in
volved in mystery. The cause of his depar-
ture is eqaully unknown. He did not leave
the city however. until the charge made by
him against the Messrs. Blum had been tho
roughly Investigated, before both the Police
court and the Grand Jury, both Of which
bodies ignored the bill and honorably ac-
quilted the defendants. Before the Messrs.
Blum, however. could return the c,mpl-
ment which had been paid them by Szaboy,
he was non est. The public are satisfied OF
the innocence Of the Messrs. Bum in the
matter. They have been residents of this
city during the past eights yoars, and dur
ing that entire period, both in their mcr-
camille and private pursuits, have always
maintained an untarnisbed reputation

A virginia sketch,

Many years ago when the old county q
Monongalia was bounded upon the East By
Maryland 8aou the trusty rifle was the
only defence for the pale face "a hunter
of Mon3ngalia left his rude cabin to try his
luck in the hunt for game.
Tie ia3 was not pleasant, ard after stroll
ing SQr hours over the rough peaks of Bri-
cry Mountain, our hunter was caught miles
from his rude home in . dre1ehing autumn
nal rain. Weary and @cS lie at length
found shelter Of bark hastily constructed
by former advcnturer who had Likewise
been engaged IN the hunt This retreat
was gia'lly aiken possession Of by FELTON,,
the huater, who nal not occupied it but IA
sY minutes. when looking through Gre
ire of bis sliclt.- lie discovered rot moro
tfan Is yards FROM him. a large wild-c
4tie!ly lounginf upon Il log. FELTON, iln
nediatcly primea his gun afresh, and taking
deliberate aiu at the varmat fred The
old rife did its Wort, we'll, and down tum-
bed the cat FELTON, reloaded his gun, and
was surprised unon boxing again at the log
to see tie wildcat again upoH II. This
time lie was more careful in taxing aim, and
when tic smoke cleared away the eat was
missing, no doubt having received a fatal
shot In a few minutes the rife is reload
ed and behold, the wildcat is occupying his
usual place on the log Something wrong,
thought the hunter, and after examining
his gun carefully, he concluded 70 Hry a.
gain, bang went the gun, ard down
tumbled the cat 'G',ess you s7oa't get UP
this time, said FELTON,, and aftcs waiting
some time to sec, he concluded to go to tho
log, aud found on the opposite side from his
shelter three wildcats, weltefies IN their
blood. FELTON, explains it by saying that
tie wildcats had found the carcass of a
deer near the log and while one Of tIo gaas.
was acting the sentry upon the log, the rest
were enjoying the feast; and as oft as the
sentinel was killed another took his place.
FELTON, is now an old man. He still lives
upon Briery Mountain, and keeps the OIL
rifle as the companion of his carly years
Some may think this mere story-a hunt
ing yarn, but all who know the old man
will give him credit for truthfulness and in
tesrity. -.Rageafo@a Star.

DR. JOHNSTON Is the only regular Physician ai-
vertising to cure private complaints. His remedies
and treatment are entirely unknown to others. Pre-
pared from life spent in the great hospitals Of Eu-
rope and the first in Silis country. viz: England.
France the Blockiey of Philadelphia, &C., and a
more extensive practice than any other Physician In
the world His many wonderful cures and mostlm-
portant Surgical operations are sufficient guaran-
tee to the afflicted Those who wish to be speedily
and efectuallv relieved should shun the numerous
triAng imposters, who only ruin their health, and
efs'' TAKE NOTICE.
It is with the greatest reluctance that Dr. jon y
SToN permits his card to appear before the public
deemug it unprofessional for physician to adVer-
tise, but unless lie did So the afflicted, especially
strangers, could not fail 20 fall into the hands OF the
many impudent and unearned Impostefs. With in
