Hoe CHOLERA AND HoGs.-We regret to learn
that this disease is rapidly spreading. The
Madison Courier says it has appeared in that
city, in the disilleries at Milton and at Carroll
ton, Kentucky. Large numbers, it is said, have
died at the last named place, and about two
hundred at Milton. The hogs often die in halt
an hour after they are attacked.
The Boston Traveller says it has made its ap-
pearance in the New England States, and the
deaths are numerous.
The Vernon Banner remarks that hundreds
have recently died of it in that county, and that

eW Ayoung parson lost his way in forest
and it being vehemently cold and rainy, he hap
pened upon poor cottage, and desired lodg-
ing or hay loft to stay in, and some fire to warm
him. The man told him that he and his wife
had but one bed, and if he pleased to lay with
them he should be welcome. The parson thank
ed him and kindly accepted it. In the morning
the man rose to 60 to market, and meeting some
of his neighbors he fell to laughing. They asked
him what made him so merry about the mouth !?
"why, says he, Il can't but think how ashamed
the parson will be, when he awakes to find him
self alone in bed with my wife"

As TO PAYMENT FOR LANDs.-Where lands
were sold above the minimum price, Land War
rants, under the act of 1855, not receivable in
payment, the whole amount must be paid in
cash. The law limits the location of Land
Warrants to lands subject to private entry at
1928 per acre. When two or more persons ap.
ply at the same time to enter the same tract of
land, the 9th section, of the act of the oath
April, 1920, directs that it be forthwith offered
to the highest bidder, which OF course consti-
tutes public sale, and the successful bidder
must pay the amount of his bid in cash.

a Gnnd Name.

When the Mormons started for Utah, some
wears ago. b, now Col B., accompanied
them, and as the Mormons had the greatest con-
fidence in the Colonel, and he was man of very
prepossessng appearance Large, portly, dig
nified, and, It is said, .'could talk the "hind
sights of gross Of rifles" against time-they
deposited all their funds with him. The amount
was over sixty thousand dollars, and the depos-
its were made by each Mormon, "in the name Of
the Lord" After they had reached their desti,
nation, and some time had elapsed, they wanted
some money TO use in making Improvements,
&C.. and went to the Colonel, when for day or
two the following conversation frequently oc-
cured:
Scene.-Col's house with little Office in the
basement. Mnter Mormon
Mormon-Good morning, Colonel. How's
money matters?
Colonel-A OH all right
all right, sir-always right.
Mormon-Well, Colonel, should like few
hundred of that have deposited with you.
Colonel-An right, sir. What name was it
deposited to the credit OF!
Mormon-It was deposited in the name of the
Lord!
Colonel-A good name, sir-an excellent
name. Have you got the papers?
Mormon aghast)- papers?
Colonel-Why, check, or draft, of course.
Mormon astonished)- Checkl--draft!
Coonel-Yes. Check-dratt. Didn't you say
your money was deposited in the name of the
Lord?
Mormon-(His eyes opening -Ye.e.e-s!
Coonel-Well, bring me his check or draft,
will cash it for any amount A good bankable
name, sir.
The Mormons finally discovered the ''pint" of
the joke, and cndeavored to make the Colonel
| disgorge. But in vain. The Colonel held on
to the funds and would not pay unless check
| of the individual in whose name they were de-
| posted, was given. The Colonel went across
| the plains and mountains to California bought
with his deposits" seven or eight leagues Of
land, before it began to be valuable and is now
| one CT the richest millionaires on the Pacific.
| Since that occasion the Mormons have deposited
/ in different manner, and have kept their eyes
| open for dignifed Colones who hang on to the
