D1I Of
the arguments used by some of our opponents
as reason why the county seat should not
be removed! And we are informed that
ISLANDERS, more vile, are to be resorted to just
before town meeting day, and thus give no
time for refutation! We have, in our for
mer circular, challenged investigation; and
that the sober, intelligent community are to
be gulled by ISLANDERS that are not, and can
not be sustained, is more than can be believ-
ed by the citizens of

TIMOTHY FLETCHER, Treasurer.
Mark the difference! That uncivlized,
unimprovable Mill-house Bayou, Duck-Pond
Marsh" section, in Ottawa, has an amount of
valuation of $1,000 more than Eastman's
4" excellent land with five improved farms up
on it, and good four-rod, travelled road, on
four sides of it, and painted school-house
at its SOUTHEAST corner" and still the taxes
are $3.50 81 less. Is not this proof, conclu-
sive, that we have told the TRUTH Mr..
T" Polkton," 4" has not this contrast been made
with fairness" Does it not prove that "this
whole yarn about taxes, taxes" is not "ab
solutely and unequivocally false Does it
not prove you are making false assertions
when you accuse as of telling false yarns"
1t is with reluctance, we go to the record, but
when we are compelled by necessity we are
obliged to take them as they stand, for it is
said they don't lie.

The Mormon Outrages.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.
learn from an intelligent gentleman who
has spent two or three years among Salt
Lake Mormons, fact or two tending to con-
firm the suspicion that the recent terrible
massacre of over 100 California emigrants by
Santa Clare Indians, was perpetrated under
the influence of the Mormon leaders.
l learn also that Bill Hickman and Lat
Smith, enormously published Locksmith
who headed the party which recently de-
stroyed the train supplies for the troops on
their way to Utah, are TWO of the most no.
torious leaders of the Mormon Dante Band
or destroying Angels.
There is reason believe that Brigham
Young had fully made up his mind that he
must leave Utah next sprny. 1t seems that
part of the mission to Englan Of Elder Or
son Pratt and Ezra +. Benson, who is still
abroad, was, to seek from the British Gov
ernment permission to settle in the SBritish
Possessions. The application was refused.

FOUND DrAD.-The body Of man appar-
emily about forty years of age, name un-
known, was found in . hay wagon in q yard
near the lst Presbyterian Church yesterday
noon. The wagon was drawn by bay, and
white horse. which had apparently wander
ed, unguided, into the yard, and stood there
the greater part of the night, in the rain, and
all yesterday forenoon, before the body was
discovered
The supposition is, from the position of
the body, which was hanging over the poles
Of the wagon, face downward, that the pe-.
son had died in fit while driving, aud the
horses had wandered into the yard. Appear
ances indicated that he had just sold load
OF hay, and was returning home. We did
not wait to hear the verdict of the coroner's
jury.

THERE is a great deal of wild honey in
Minnesota especially in the heavy wooded
parts; sometimes tree is found containing
two or three hundred pounds, which is east
ly taken up in cold weather. a great deal
OF honey might be. made in Minnesota, "a
every spot of ground is covered with sue
cesson Of flowers during the summer season,
the Prairie Rose being conspicuous. Wild
bees can easily be taken and hived in the
spring, and from one swarm dozen can be
reared in two or three years. Mr.. Theo.
Chamberlain, of Nnineer, has some of these
bees on his farm, which he found in the
w"ots. He has now two swarms, one of
which took up their abole in a hollow tree
close to his house, in which he thinks ther.
is now 100 lbs. of honey. 1t r,ust be- profit
able to rear these useful workers, as their
care is trifiing and no attendant except the
receptacle for the delicious food. They can
be kept in town as safely as on farm, and
are a gratifying spectacle At their labors.

The Close OF the Kansas Convention.
The correspondent of the Chicago Tribune,
writing from Kansas under date of Nov. 10,
describes the closing scene Of the Consti-
tutional Convention o Liberticides who, un
der the flag of ".Nasional Democracy" have
just framed thing which they call Con-
stitution. for the free people of that Terrific
ry. He says -
1.-The last scene of the Convention was
perfectly indescribable. Nearly all the mem
bcrs were drunk and great many were en-
ragged. Everything was in confusion, and of
all l have witnessed, may never look upon
the like of this again. When the vote was
taken on the final adoption Of the Consttu
ton, it stood as follows q for, and 9
against. A Convention elected by misera-
BILE minority framing Constitution that is
adopted by minority of those elected. At
one time fear prevailed that quorum
would not sign it, but by dint of pursuasion
and artifce thirty-two signatures were OBJ
tanned, but one over quorum. At o'clock
on.Sunday morning, the Convention of drunk
ards, pro-slavery demagogres, political aspi
rants and traitors, adjourned sine die with
''come boys, let's go and take drink from
Henderson, of Leavenworth. And they
went. j. Is. H."

ROBBERY ON THE CARs.-A gentleman who
has just arrived in St. Paul, was robbed on
the cars, nesr Chicago, on the way out, o
$50 in gold, and fortunately recovered the
amount again. The money was taken from
his pocket while asleep, and he did not dis
cover his loss until he awoke an hour or two
afterwards.
The cars had stopped only once in the
meantime, and the conductor telegraphed
back to that station to inquire who got out
there. One person had got out, who was
thus spotted, and from the description thus
obtained, an officer tracked him clear to Buf
falo N. Y. where he "nabbed" him and OBJ
tanned nearly all the money again. The gen.
tleman yesterday received a draft for the
amount recovered. This is striking in
stance of the advantage of telegraphs.

SUDDEN DEATH.-James Alexander Lam
bert, aged lbout fifteen years, died very sud-

skating the day before and caught cold

until short time before his death. When
the disease all at once seemed to set in, and
assume fatal turn. He died about mid
night. The deceased was a youth much
respected, of fine natural powers, and his
sudden death was heard with sadness by
many friends who sympathise with the be-
reaved family.
