Coon STORY ABOUT GIDDIxGs.-A good story
is told of the Hon. Joshua R. Giddings Pres
ent at the Republican StateNominating Con-
vention at Columbus (Ohio) on the 18th, the
correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial
says:
He was sitting in the-Neil House surrounded
by coterie of friends. a hook pedler who had
been busiIy perambulating the corridors impor-
tuning gentlemen to purchase valuable publ
cations" wOrmed his way into the circle, APP
preaching Mr.. g., handed him a small linen
covered book which he recommended as "one of
the most thrilling works on slavery, extant-
price only one dollar" The venerable Joshua
glanced at him enQuiringly, evidently suspect
ing "Sell, but percevng the sincerity of the
chap, he maintained his composurc, and open
ing the volume and read, ''The Exiies of Fiori,
da-ahem!" ayes, sir, interposed the pcdlar
quickly first rate'work-written by the cele-
brated Joshua Giddings, the great Apostle OF
Anti.Slavery. It's immensely popular sir only
one dollar" By this time the crowd discovered
the joke and burst into a hearty laugh. The
pedler looked foolish and confused and made n
snatch at his books as if he had suddenly dis
covered something, and was about to subside,
when the venerable gentleman, with that kind
ness for which he is distinguished, requested
him to stop minute, and taking ''only one
dollar" from his pocket, paid for the volume
The pedler hasn't been seen since.

"WnEN DocroR's DIrrER"-For nearly
whole year, two doctors in st. Louis have had
an internal sore fostering and ranking near the
out in consequence of difference of opinion on
professional ethics" which probably at the
time cost some poor fellow his life, and could
not possibly be arranged until last week, when
duel was fixed up, but did not come off be
cause the parties were arrested and locked up.
The probability is that one or both of the duel
lists advised the officers in time TO prevent any
thing serious. The certainty of the case is that
both doctors are great fools.

INJURY TO THE WHEAT CROP IN ILL1No1s.-The
Chicago Tribune brings the first really serious
report of injury to the wheat crop in the West.
1t states that in Mclean and other central Ili-
nois counties, usually the most reliable in the
State, the growth ofstalk is very rank, but the
hot sun, following the protracted rains so close
ly, has struck entire fields with rust. In some
localities that promised well short time ago,
the crop is not worth cutting Further south,
the wheat is either harvested or out of danger.

ANOTHER LEAE.--When public treasures
spring leak the crevasse is always attended
with great danger. The outlet always enlarges
rapidly and the money flows out freely. The
State Of Ohio discovered leak in its treasury
last year that had grown from very small
aperture to 100000 outlet, aud tile State of
Tennessee made the same discovery some weeks
since The extent of the leakage is not yet
fully known, but at present about SEQ, 900 has
run out loose.

PAcIrICAuoNoF UTAn.-'rhe official commu-
nicatiOns from Utah, give assurance of an en-
tirely peaceful settlement of the Mormon diff
cultics. The conditions agreed upon in the
conference between Gov. Cumming, the Peace
Commissioners, and the Mormon leaders, are,
that the troops shall enter the city without OPP
positions the civil officers are to be allowed to
perform their duties without interruption; and
an unconditional obedience to the laws on the
part of the resident population. On the other
hand, all the past offences by the Mormons are
to be forgotten as stated in the Presidents pro-
clamation; and all houses are to be closed against
strangers, except the ones occupied by the
Governor and his assistants. These conditions
indicate the points of extreme constituencies on
the part of the Mormons.

A MAN HUNG HIMSELF IN FuN, AND is HUNG IN
From the Hamilton (Duer county, Oho Integencer,
a very sad affair TRANSFERRED at Princeton,
near our city, on Thursday last. A Mr.. Daniel
Elliott, who lives in Princeton, butchering
becves and selling them in the ueighborhood,
hung himselfin his slaughter house. lie was
in an exceedingly good humor during the day
and evening, and naturally of playful DISPOSE
ton, gave vent to it by many playful things
lie had bought some cattle, had extended his
business,-was doing well, and felt lively and
encouraged. He SO expressed himself to his
wife and friends. Going from the house to his
stable he fed his horse, and taking his little girl
and neighbours boy, some thirteen years old,
he went on about twenty-five yards from his
house to the slaughter house. Here was a ma
chine for raising dead cattle-a rope with large
hook in 1t run over a large reel attached to a
windlass with ratchet. Adjusting the rope in
a moose around his neck, he playfully bid the
little girl to go tell her mother Somebody was
hanging out there, who looked like Dan Elliott.
Then showing the boy exactly how many notch
eS, bid him, still laughing, to draw him up
The boy did so, and drew him off his feet. Once
up, he could not, because Of the ratchet, get him
down, and when in answer to the little girls
anxiety, Mrs z. came out, her husband hung
dead, his feet touching the floor, and the hook
pressing hard against his juguar. From all
the circumstances, it is not doubted that the act
was done accidently in burst of playfulness.

MORE LYNCH LAW IN MIssoURI.-It was stated
recently that n man named Kessler had been
hung by mob in Gentry county, No., for kill
ing another, named Timmons. An nccomplice,
named Nlilligau, was arrested at the time, but
his case was laid over until the next term of
court y letter from st. Joseph, July 9th, says:
"a guard was appointed to watch his prison.
No appropriations was made for their support,
and they became wearied with so thankess and
tedious an employment, and abandoned their
posts The mob went to the county court yes
terday aud demanded an appropriation for the
expenses of guard, and, upon refusal, they
proceeded to the prison, took Milligan out and
led him to the tree upon which Kessler had ten
days before, been hung lie requested to be
baptized, which was done in brook near by.
Here he mad an interview with his old father,
which was deeply affecting. He was then taken
back to the tree and hung until dead"

of jefferson and Belmonnt counties, O!io, says
the supply of apples in these counties will not
be sufficient for home use, and adds
"These counties formerly stood in the fore
most rank for fruit, and the popular varieties
were very full orbloom this season; and apples
set on well; but the unprecedented wet season
caused not only the fruit to blight and fall, but
the foliage itself bespeaks an unhealthy condi-
ton of the trees, and it is anticipated that
general decline is taking place, and that fruit
growers will have to renew their orchards"

The Pest says of the scandal, the most definite
statement of which has gone the rounds, credi-

The statement to which we refer, and which
in justice to ourselves we may state, appeared
in only one edition Of the Evening Post, was
communicated to our reporter by an intelligent
and respectable looking person whom he met
at the police office, and who gave the name of
Charles E. Mills No. 345 Seventh street, as re-
sponsible, publicly and privately for what1 he
stated. Upon inquiry, c ascertained that no
such person resided at the place referred to, and
that the name wassa fictitious one. The Trus-
tees of the Church have since investigated the
facts, and pronounce the impntations upon Mr..
Corbit's character wholly unfounded.
