Public Vendues.

As this is the season for Public Ven
dues and the Farmers can do but little
out door work, the sales of farm stock
and "household and kitchen furniture
are very largely attended and good pri-
ces arc generally obtained. 1t is said that
over 1000 people we're at the sale at the
late residence of Henry Lerch, in Forks
township, last Thursday. The family
were eaten out of "house and home" BY
persons who abused their kind hospitali-
ty. although they had generously prcpar-
ed for at least 100 people. They were G.
ven obliged to keep their cellar locked to
prevent stealing. People who goto Ven
dues should know how to behave them
selves properly or stay home. We did
not hear how the farm stock sold at this
sale; the total amount of the two days
sale amounted to nearly $4,000. AT

Serious Epidemic at the University OF
Virginia.

A letter received in this city from tne
University of Virginia, dated March 10,
states that very serious and iatai cpl
acmic, somewhat similar to typhoid fe-
YER. has been prevailing fearfulIy at that
institution for some weeks past Quite a
number of the students have already died,
and many are still sick. Great alarm
prevails among those remaining. A sre-
cial meeting Of the Board of Visitors " as
called some days ago to consider the sub
iect, and, if possible, adopt some meas
ures to counteract the epidemic. 1t was
agreed to vacate the rooms in which the
disease originated, but it soon appeared
in other apartments, there being three
new cases shortly aftcrward. The stu
dents. becoming still more excited, pre-
sented petition to the Board, requesting
u>pension Of the lectures, which was
not complied with.
For week past they have been leav.
ing rapidly, some for their homes, others
taking up their abodes elsewhere, and
out OF ga, who we're in the University
at the con- mcDcenent. there are only 800
left. Meetings are held lightly to con
slider the NJ after, aud additional measures
arc being taken by remaining students tt
procure o suspension of lectures, which i
DOT granted soon, it is believed tie insti
tuition may be finally deserted until health
fulness is again restored. At last ac'
counts the executive committee had call
cd another meeting Of the Board, and i
was believed some definite action would
be taken in order to render satisfaction
and safety to those in the university

from Fort LedUezearogth.
St. Louis, March 23.-The Leaven-
worth Times of the 9th inst, says that
the previous morning two companies OF
infantry and two of cavalry left the fort
for Utah. The command numbers about
320 men. They design overtaking Col.
Hoffman and escorfing the supply train
for Col. Johnson's army from Fort Lara
mic. This train consists Of l60 heavily
laden wagons.
The Republican publishes extracts from
a private letter from Col. johnston to a
friend in that city, dated February 5th,
10 which be says be has received no con-
munication from the Government since
the 22nd of October. He complains that
the contractors take more than three
months to carry the mails to Utah, when
their contract states that the service shall
be done monthly. Col Johnston de-
scribes the march to Camp Scott, and
compliments the troops.
He says the mormons have fully, as far
as words and actions can manifest their
intentions, declared their determination
to no longer submit to any government
but their own, and that the people of the
Union must submit to the usurpation OF
their territory, and have government
created in their midst acknowledging no
dependence upon or allegiance TO the
Federal authority, or act with yigor aud
force to compel them to succomb. He
expresses an earnest hope that every ex-
ertion will be made to forward supplies
early in the Spring, under a sufficient
guard of mounted men.

M ade, the post Office was watched on
Thursday, by police officers, and young
man who received that morning some two
hundred letters, by the name OF Hall,
was arrested. The Herald gives very
interesting account of the matter, as fol-
lows:
The officers visited No. 372 Grand
steet, whore they found two young ladies
named Catbarine and Mary Todd, an-
smeripg large number of letters, which
lay upon the table in the room. They
were also brought before the Mayor, to,

ises. The girls stated that they were ID
no way connected with the concern, nor
was there such a firm as G. E. Todd &
Co., but that Hall was the only person
carrying on the business, and they were
EN- ,loyed by him to answer letters. The
Mayor accordingly discharged the girls,
but held ii all to bail in the sum of 81 600.
On opening the letters, s2lo was found
enc losed in about sixty of them, for chan
ces in the gift enterprise. Among them
were about forty from various editors OF
country newspapers wanting chances IN
exchange for puffs. Numerous adser-
tti,ements Of Todd & Co, cut from coun-
try papers in the Southern and Western
States, were found, some a column In
length, stating that the advertisers were
