:. ANIMALS BECOME PARENTS TOO EARLY.
Victor Gilbert never allowed ewes to
have lambs until they had passed their third
year; and the bucks were not used until
they had arrived. at full maturity. He, as
well as many other sasacious stock raisers,
that we might name, are probably conver.
SAINT with the fact, that during the period of
growth and development, up to maturity,
the re. reproductive organs are dormant, while
at the same time the nutritive function was
wholly engaged 10 celebrating chyle and
blood for the development of bone, muscle,
and nerve; and that by calling into requisi.
ton the reproductive or generative', organs,
before the animal had. attained full growth,
must necessarily divert the elements of mat
ter, intended for nutrition, from their legiti.
mate channel, and direct them to the re-.
productive organs. This is precisely what
takes place. A too early use of the purely
animal function, induces weakness and stun

The Court House was crowded last evening to listen
to Mr. John Hyde formerly Mormon elder, his subject
being Brigham Young and Utah. Circumstances pre-
vented our attendance but learn that those who were
present were amply repaid for the time bestowed In list
cnng to the speaker In conversng with Mr. Hyde, we
found him to be welinormed sensible man. who speaks
without passion exaggeration on the subject OF the
Mormons and their chief He appreciates highly that
energy which has enabled them to build up great ter
riory in hitherto barren wilderness and under the
most unfavOurabe circumstances He believes that the
great body of the Mormons are sincere. Their conduct
could be accounted for under other superstition Even
Brigham Young is in the main sincere, and personally
far from the monster he has been painted. But the
community is dangerous in proportion to its energy and
its sincerity in Their religious society rules their
political society," and all their ideas point to indepen
dence of and supremacy over the powers of the world
Mr. Hyde's lecture tonight will be devoted to "The
Leaders, Designs, Political Aspects and Destiny of Nor
monism" This Lecture is noticed at length and in the
highest terms by the press of Washington City.

sor Gen. Denver, Commissioner of Indian Affairs
who left Washington for the West last week. The rea-
son given for this removal is that Secretary Stanton
has violated the instructions heretofore given to both
Gov Walker and himself to do no act which could posi-
sby disturb the peace of the Territory bit to exert all
the means in their power to preserve it.
The sole object and purpose of converting the Legis
ature it is considered, only be to engender sries
and embarrass the people in voting the slavery ques
ton in the form proposed by the constitutional conven
ton No definite action had to-day by the Senate
on Gen Denvers nomination. 1t is anticipated that
heated discussion will take place when the subject shall
again come before that body in secret session.
Last week instructions sent to Mr.. Stanton to
take every precauon to prevent disturbances at the
ensuing election and afford free and unmolesed exer

Senate for confirmation.
