SLIGHTLY LUDICRoUs.-A few days
ago, as highly successful 'protracted
meeting" in neighboring county was
on the point OF closing amidst demon
STATIONS of intense excitement, one oi
! the brethren taking advantage Of the i'm
mense assemblage, rose and said: "my
beloved brother-requests me 10 an
nounce to the audience that he has lost a
horse, and would like to have ,ome in-
formation in regard to it. He don't re-
member anything strikingly peculiar
about the horse, except that he has bald
face and one large toot.' The profound
silence which followed this extIaordina-
ry announcement was presently broken
by brother-'s buck negro, who smart
ing under the recollection OF the tramp
he had been compelled to take after
"baldiace" in the height Of the spiritual
season, exclaimed, in tones decidedly
more distinct than amiable. DE horse
neber bin lost! Can't he found, indee ], /,
Bin in de pasture ali de time.' 1t is un-
necessary to say that at this point the
solemn of the occasion was over
whelmed in tremendous outburst of
laughter, pending which the congrega
ton dispersed in most ungodly confu-
sion.

EATING AND DRINKING.-In these pi.
ping times when provisions are high and
money is scarce, it is necessary to prac
tice economy, and as a sample Of what a
man is capable os consuming, Sidney
Smith, a philosopher entitled to respect,
has said:
If you wish for anything like happi-
ness in the fifth act of life. eat and drink
about o-e-half what you could eat and
drink. Did ever tell you my calcula-
Ion about eating and drinking? Having
ascertalned the weight OF what | could
live upon, so as to preserve health and
strength, and what | did live upon, |
found that between the ages of ten and
seventy years of age | had eaten and
drank forty four-horse wagon loads OF
meat and drank more than would have
preserved me in life and health. The
value of this mass Of nourishment con
sidered to be worth 1900. 1t &C urred

starved to death fully hundred per-

WAS BLED UNTIL He GOT SLEEPY.-A
mixed assemblage of blacks and whites
met in convention lately, at Syracuse, n.
Y, to discuss matters and things in gen.
eral relating to slavery, Kansas and the
colored population. Gerritt Smith and
Fred. Douglass were the principal speak
ers. Smith said. according to the New
York Courier, "he had done 'bleeding'
to the Society. 1t had cost him now
over $1,000, whereas the Society had
only raised 81, 500. He said it was rid
ing free horse to DEATH and he would
no longer stand 1t; that he had got note
after note discounted last fall for the pur-
pose Of raising funds for Kansas, and he
didn't know where it had gone, and he
didn't see that the Society was any bet
ter for it. He said, in conclusion, he had
done. The Society must help them
selves: that he was tired, disgusted, and
needed sleep, and. if there was no other
question before the house, he would de-
clare the Convention adjourned sine
die"

Indiscretions in Life,

A rich topic of scandelous gossip has
just come to light among those known
as the upper ten OF our city. 1t seems
that one of the principals of steamship
company has wife beautiful as Venus
and as witty as De Stael Her spirit
and intelligence. her taste in dress, and
her husbands position, made her well
come in the first circles. Her husband
allowed her considerable latitude, but
was not so pecuniarily generous as her
shining qualities demanded. This alloy
dimmed the fine gold of their married
life, and yearning Tor more congenial
soul, the lady one night attended a ne
gro minstrel concert. where the quaint
African gentleman who vibrated the bones
took her fancy. Their eyes met, and
her admiration was won. Shortly al
forwards she left home. with a good sup
ply of clothes, and large amount of Sc
curities and papers belonging to her
husband and others. When he discover
ed her elopement, he was deeply excited
by his double loss, and called on Super
intendant Tallmadge to find the runna-
way. Mr.. Tallmadge employed one of
the shrewdest men in the police depart,
ment, who on the following night found
the lady in a house of very doubtful re-
pute, in company with the handsome
NEGRO minstrel" The lady was taken
to the Ninth Ward Station House, where
an interview took place with her hus-
band. She imputed her tau1 pas to his
penuriousneSs; and ,counscious that there
might be something in this, he requested
her to return TO his lonely dwelling, and
TO restore the documents. After some
persuasion, she consented. Peace was
restored, and when she gave up the pa
pers, he generously gave her $500 for
spending money. IL was agreed that
everybody should keep the matter pro-
found secret and then the husband and
wife weat home togather. The lady
spent her $500, and has now gone home
10 her mothers to live. As she took no
bonds with her. her husband submits
calmly, and the police await future de
yelopments, which may involve the pub
lcation of letters now In their possession,
which are as passionate as those Of Abe
lard and Eliose.-Necc IoTk Sun.

A CATTLE DEALER RoBBED.-On Monday
night man named Patterson, a drover from
Indiana, went to New York, having shipped a
lot OF cattle by the New York and Albany Pro-
peller Line. He sold his cattle, and returned
to Albany on Wednesday morning with $4,000
in checks and S160 in money. While coming
on the boat his pocket was picked by some a.
droit scamp, and as yet no clue has been OBJ
tanned to the perpetrators Of this crime. The
payment of the checks was Immediately stop
ped. Patterson is quite a joker, by the way,
and is s'well-to-do" in the world. He had in
the stolen wallet some very nice fish-hooks-
being a perfect Izaak Walton-which he re-
GREETED losing more than the money in fact he
offered policeman the money if he would re-
cover for him the private papers and the-ish
hooks.

LATER FROM UTAH TERRIroRY--Nore Tio-
ienee and Biooished by MormOns.-We have
dates from Salt Lake City to April lst, with
by the Morn ons. 1t appears that man man,
cd Parish, seeding Mormon, left the wall
town of Springvillc, TO come to the States on
foot, his wagon and horses having been stolen
10y Mormons the night previous to the depar
ture. He was accompanied by his two sons
and two men named Potter and Darper. They
had not left the place more .han a few bpn-
dred yards behind when they were attacked bv
number of men armed and disguised :. OF
ter was shot dead, five balls having entered his
body; Parrish fell wounded, when one of t,e
assailants rushed upon him, and, i'm his disa-
bled condition, cut his throat frcm ear TO ear.
and ripped up his abdomen. One of Parrisb,s :
sons ran about eighty yards, when he was
struck down, his throat cut, and his abdomen
ripped up. The other young Parrish and Dar-
per contrived to escape. The only notice TAX
en- of the matter by the Mormon authorities
was the summoning of coroner's jury, who
sat upon the case and returned verdict Of
assassination by some persons unknown
Potter was brother OF one of the men kill
ed in Gunnison's massacre and was one of
the very few who knew the secret history of
that sanguinary transaction. Parrish and his
sons were also well acquainted with the Nor
mon secrets, having once been in full Mormon
communion.
Another tragedy, not very dissimilar, is also
reported by the last mail from Utah. 1t oc-
Cured about seventy miles from Parowan, on
the California road, and the victims were

We learn from Washington that tho troops
ordered for Utah will concentrate and take a
position upon the government reservation,
forty miles South of the Salt Lake valley, and
await orders and events. 1t is suggested that
Governor Young has taken measures to resist
the federal authorities, and to increase his
large military force by an alliance with hostile
Indians. When he shall be superseded as Gov
ernor, his authority will be paralyzed in the
Territory, and he must either leave it or be
subjected to prosecution for his flagitous acts.
If he holds his ground he must make open war,
and that Is said to be bis intention. His abu-
Sos have been so long tolerated that he has
gathered undue confidence in hi, position,
which may soon be diminished after the gov
srnment shall take decided stand in oppot-
fion TO him.

SMUT IL WHEAr.-Much has been said and
written about smut. Many experiments have
been rcsorted to to discover its cause. The
most enlightened inference seems to be that il
is disease, but what, and how cured, are the
important questions. We do not propose 8
discussion of the subject here, but only to
quote from the Wisconsin Farmer the expert
ence of a wheat grower. He says: ssBut as
have ever, in regard to all diseases, considered
an ounce of preventive equal to pound Of
cure, have, therefore, from careful investi-
CATION, become satisfied that tee most fruitful
source of smut is the heating of the seed in
the NOW. With this view, my preventive for
some years past has been TO let my wheat for
seed stand until quite ripe for butting, and
then advise TO put the same or a scaffold un-
I'll fully cured. Since have practiced this
mode of saving seed, have had no smut in
my wheat, although my neighbors complain Of
their wheat shutting. ."-Faliey Farmer.

LUMBER.-Our cotemporaries published at
points below on the river all speak of the i'm
mense amount of lumber at their respective
towns. There is a very large supply at Mid
dletown--larger it is said than has been there
for a long time before. The consequence is,
that at the latter place the price is not quite
high as heretofore but at the lower ports we
understand that the price of ordinary culling
lumber is about the same as last year, at this
time; select lumber commands somewhat high
er rates than last year. Oak timber was sold
at the last rise of the river-two weeks since
at from twelve to sixteen cents per cubic foot,
as in quality and pine timber at from nine TO
eleven cents.-Harrisburg Telegraph.

GENERAL SYNOD op THE LUTHERAN CHURCH.
The eighteenth Evangelical Lutheran General
Synod of the United States, met at Reading,
Pa, on 14th May. The General Synod of this
Church was organized in 1920, and was COM
posed of few district or local Synods from
this and other States. In 1845, the General
Synod was composed of representatives from
thirteen District Synods. Since that period
twelve others have become affiliated, and the
present General Synod stands re elated to, and
has representatives from twenty five district or
local Synods. Rev. W. s. Harkey, ID. D., was
chosen President Of the General Synod.

Correspondence Of the "Raftsman's Journal. 4"


My DEAR JOURNAL The agony is over
The bubble has bursted. The Legislature ad-
journed to-day at IL o'clock. Before the ad-
journment of the Senate, the Speaker whose
term expires with this year, resigned, and Mr..
Finney, of Crawford County, was elected
Speaker.
The Senate did not concur in the section of
the Sunbury and Erie Railroad bill, guarantee
ing the interest on So 900, ,0OO-so that feature
of the bill is lost.
An act was passed in relation to banks. By
this, small notes and foreign currency are not
to be paid out in the purchase of any bill Of
exchange, promissory note, or other negotia-
bic paper.
$4,000 were appropriated to rebuild the
Horse race dam, the upper division of the
North Branch Canal, carried away by the last
flood.
The bill to increase the salaries of Associate
Judges passed the Senate.
A resolution, increasing the pay Of the
clerks and other officers of the Legislature,
was adopted.
Mr.. Gregg, one of the most industrious and
influential members of the Senate, secured the
passage of bill, making on appropriation of
S25,OO to the Farmers High School, and
$25, 900 on condition that the people raise an
equal amount.
The State tax is reduced to % mills on the
dollar.
The bill to prevent the floating of loose logs
died in the Senate.
Yours truly, CuJUs.

BRIGHAM YouYG.-There seems to be some
mistake about the rumor received by way of
California, that Brigham Young had been CON-
PEELED to leave Utah. Later accounts state
that he seemed to possess the entire conf
dence Of the people, and that he was planning
pleasure excursion to the Mormon settle
ments at Salmon river. We see it also men,
toned that he had left Salt Lake with a cho-
sen body of two hundred men, for Washington
or Oregon, and Che belief is expressed that
Young would endeavor to make his way to the
British Possessions on the Pacific.

OyAmong Eastern nations, obesity is tho't
to be the prime requisite of beauty and the
plumpest lady bears away the palm. A trav-
eler in Africa declares that he met one king
who had eleven portly wives, all of whom were
weighed monthly, the one that weighed the
most being invariably installed mistress of the
household until the time of the next weighing.
