Editors Crescent: My attention has been called to
an extract from the Report of E. W. Noise Esq, At
torney General to the State Legislature, in which
ours this statement: " addressed note to each of
the Recorders of the city requesting to lie benformed
of the number Of homicdes committed within the
year 1855, by parties known, but who had not been
arrested As yet l have not received reply from
any of thenl.i
The object of this communication is to say that SO
far as the statement applies to the Recorder Of the
Third District, it is-not true.
The note addressed by the Attorney General to Re
corder Solomon, was, by direction of the Recorder
answered by me in writing, on the 18th inst, and
sent by special officer, who delivered it personally
to Mr.. Noise. In that answer, stated there only
one case in the Third District where party charged
with homicide had not been arrested, to wit James

s1rJ,rE Cry. Oct 81, ls5G.-A frind who has
lust returned from Southern tour communicated 10
me the following particulars oil an mcieeht Whcn
shows the Mormon character in It's strongest h9ht.
He visited among others, the Pah-vant indians at
their village about Is miles southwest OF Fillmore
This is the tribe that is accused oil the iunson mar
der. NV friend and his companions had previously
visited the Petetnetes, and invited Plntut, the war
chief of that band, 10 accompany them. On ap-
preaching TO Puh-vant valley the party saw TWO men
riding at furious rate enter the village ald shortly
after leave it again in hurried manner lthappehed
that Pintuts rode into the place some tHp or three
miles ahead of the others of the party o. entering
it he found the indians much excited, andon lnqulr-
ing the cause was told that the Mormons a. Fillmore
had sent an express telling them that the party com
ing were Americans, and that their desnn was 10
take the Inurderers of Gunnison. Pintuts ;od them
that the Morlnons lied, and gave them such as
surances as partially paclfed them snt II was not
uut the next day that they were entirely satisfied.
The only conceivable motive for this conduit OF the
Mormons is their hostility to the Americans. The
party went among the Indians unsuspicons oidanger,
and had it not been for the Pctitenete chit, they
might have been mastered like the Gnnnisol party,
and as in that case the murder been charged to In
dian hostility. When my friend and companpns re-
turned to Fillmore, they were distinctly Informed as
to the express being sent thence by tue Monons
which accorded with what Pintuts had seen and
heard. Some of the party having subsequently VISITED
the house Of an acquaintance at Fillmore it was stoned
and the windows broken by the Morm0ns, because az
they said, he had some id Americans within.
1--WE have dreadful accounts of the suferngs among
the Mormon emigrants by the hand-cart train which
is now in the mountains. The train contained $50
souls oneseyenth already dead and they are dying
at the rate Of fifteen per day. There are some 600
more behind Of which we have heard nothing. We
hope that they stopped at Laramie. 1t is impossible
for them to get through this fall The Mormons sst!-
mated that there are mo- less than 1900 of their btth
rem yet to in, and the snow is reported TO benot
less than a foot deep in the mountains"

LUDICROUS MIsCHIEF.-The cold weather at the,
North gives rise to great many means to obtain
amusement and perpetrate mischief, besides sleigh
riding and snow ballng. The Chelsea (Mass.) Tele-
graph relates the following as new idea for creating
excitement:
Hobbs, the great safcty-locl maker, said no one
could pick his locks; on Tuesday morning last seye-
raj OF the storekeepeys in Winrsimmit said the same
thing: some Of the ''boys" on the preceding night-a
very cold one-squirted water into all the keyholes,
which froze solid in the locks, and in the morning
there was great trying to get in Ncighbor Skerry
after picking and adopting various inventions had to
break his lock ; neighbor Richardson ran home for
the teakettlc and back in hot haste fearing that
the water might freeze on the journey the kettle pro-
polling him along like steam engine, and stream
OF yapor issuing from the pipe to the amusement of
the passersby. Arrived at the store he inserted the
nose Of The teaketle into the lock and scaded it out
and entered While Mr.. Richardson was gone for the
hot water Mr. Stenteldt, next door to him was hard
at work he pulled very vehementy on his segar and
putting his mouth down discharged stream of hot
smoke into the mass, but in vain he pulled again at
the segar 81 he got bright glow on the end and
applied it like match. There was a slight sizzIe
but no explosion Various were the devices used on
this occasion, but so successful as that of
the tea-kctte.
The question as to the modus opeyuadi of this ne
talous trick, and by whom perpetrated is so freely
discussed Abroad that the debating clubs vii! hardly
take it up.
