Very unpleasant, but nevertheless quite seasOnable
il the damp, muggy, foggy Noyemberish weather at
tie present writing. Though just what we ought to
expect it is uncommonly hard to take, after the SOFT
hazy days Of Indian Summer we have been 20 laziiy
enjoying Yesterday was something Of all ssrts ex-
cept sunshine. Beginning with rain, quick and sharp
drzzled into fog dense enough hide the opposite
curbstones. When that lifted twas only 10 be sue
ceeded by murky greasy, dampness of the most dis
agreeable description. Last night the lowering skies
gave decided indications Of rain. Thank fortune No
vember has but thirty days and third of those are
already gone may soon look for the clear skies,
and sharp, crisp atmosphere of frosty December.

Aid to Browns Victims.

While the Abolition press and preach
ers are extolling the traitor Brown as a
martyr, and demanding pecuniary aid to
compensate his family for the misdceds
Of the father, they forget many things,
and among them this: One of the in
nocent victims of Browns own cruelty
needs the very sort of assistance they
lavish on Browns guilty family-for all
his family participated, physically or
morally, in his crimes. The Mrs. Ma.
hala Doyle Of Kansas, whose sons the
old fanatic Brown most savagely muir
dered in their mothers presence, needs
aid, and, what is more, deserves it,
Why is the philanthropy of the Adolf
tionists Indifferent to her fate? Why is
there no sympathy for the forlorn moth
er, the blood of whose slaughtered sons
called loudly to Heaven tor vengeance
on the would-be Cromwell of the Abo-
litionist shriekers! Is it necessary to
be a criminal in order to excite the
kindly attention of your true Abolition
ist! By the laws of the land old Brown
was adjudged traitor and murderer.
As such be most justly was hanged
These Aboltionists who applaud his
course and condemn his sentence think
him neither traitor nor murderer. But
he was so, nevertheless, in wish, word
and work. Therefore they admire him.
Therefore they applaud him. Poor
Mrs. Doyle was the wife Of o good law
abiding citizen; her sons we're law-lov-
ing men. Brown slew them in her
presence, unheeding her appeals for
mercy and he quilted the scene of his
diabolical deed with innocent blood on
his head and hcart-broken mothers
curse on his soul. Where are the cub
scriptions for this poor woman? Have
VIC no portraits Of her slain sons or of
her suffering self! The Eapress has
opened q subscription list in her favor.
We approve the plan, and pray that i,
may be we'll sustained. It forms prac-
tical comment on the most shameful in
suit which the Abolitionists have put on
the people and the laws by their base
sympathy for heartlcss murderer, whose
thick skull had conceived but one idea,
and that was-nigger.-M Y. Ne,os.

A Wagered Pcnance.

Ben Perley Poore and his famous
wheelbarrow feat, as we'll as all other RI
diculous election wagers, were entirely
thrown into the shade by New Yorker
on Monday last. 1t appears that q
Havemeyer man, having that charming
confidence in the success of his candi-
date which animated some 1000 other
citizens, wagered with another party that,
if Havemeyer was not elected, he would
walk barefoot, from tho st. Nicholas
Hotel to the Astor House, accom- panied
by music-in failing to perform the feat
(no pun intended) would forfeit $780,
The loser did the penance on Monday,
with heroic literaIness. At II P. NJ.
(the time announced for starting) the
sidewalk in front Of the St. Nicholas
Hotel and for some distance up and
down the street was thronged with peo-
pie, anxious to see the fnl6llment of the
bet. True to bis promise, the hero
made his appearance, with a perfectly
naked and commercially clean pair of
feet. He was heraldsd by . fife and
drum, and accompanied by about 200
friends, who walked two abreast.
strange spectacle was greeted with pro-
digious cheers and laughter, and the la
dies at the hotel waved their handker-
chiefs from tho windows in token of en-
couragement. The poor fellow appear
ed to be strengthened by this demon
stration, and stepped off on his blue toes
as proud as a peacock. The procession
increased in volume as it went OIL, and
soon filed up the entire sidewalk and
overlooked into the street. All Broad
way was on the broad grin. The walk
was done to lively quickstep, which
alone saved the bctter's toes from frost
bite. The end Of the journey was final
ly reached, and the eccentric pedestrian
was overwhelmed with congratulations,
from which he was glad to escape in
carriage provided for him, and resume
his pedal integuments.-N r Journa!

WmEAT-To Prevent Spelling IN
BIss.-Atlin Burlingame, . farmer OF
Cortland county, N. Y, who writes US
that he is seventy years old, and
OF course has had some experience, says
that if farmers will put one dry brick
to every five bushels Of grain put mp in
bins, or into the center Of barrel Of
w'eat flour or meal, it will not grow
moldy or sour. We have never tried
bricks for this purpose, but have used
and often recommended others to use
stone Of few pounds weight in the
center Of barrel of corn meal, with the
assurance Of it, being beneficial, and We
have no doubt the use Of clean dry
brick would be more 20, ~ it is better
calculated to absorb moisture than
stone.

H- We clip the following from tho |
Utah, correspondents Of the st. Ieuisi
Rpublicse
A "aAr LoTnAHno." The bishops,
elders, lsymcn, md forced concubines, Of
the Mormon Church, hereabout, are in .
state of great commotion over the ad-
vent Of ; young charmer Of young L.
dies, en- route from Pixies Peak to Cali
fornia. Arrived at this place, his con-
quering eyes met the sparkling oIbs OF .
popular bishops daughter-young, beau
tiful, graceful and intelligent-the beau
ideal of the poets imagination and the
fanciful lovers dream. Had it not been
for the high position which her father
holds in the church, "sweet sixteen
would undoubtedly long since have been
offered up, BY the voice Of theocracy
sacrifice to the carnality Of some devo-
tee of sensualism. That such bright
pearl might not ultimately be sacrificed,
our brave and gallant Pixies Peak youth
suggested to her overtures Of rescue
from such horrible fate. The induce
ments offered were = swift and well-pro-
vided team Californiaward, accompanied
by two more teams containing six brave
and well-armed protectors who would
resist capture sstill the last armed foe"
expired; and when within the precincts
Of civilization and Christianity, an hon
orable, lawful marriage. The young girl
had the hardihood to accept the propo-
sition, and night before last, as Luna
was giving warning of the near ap-
proach Of her sivery face by throwing
her advancing beams over the white.
ROBBED mountain tops, the heroine and
hero met, and soon were seated side by
side, in the conveyance of escape. Yes
terday morning, the father, accompanied
by q party Of half dozen Mormon
minions, started in pursuit, and no intel
l:gence has been received from them
since. Rather than hear Of the daugh-
ter being taken, your correspondent
would hear with pleasure Of the Bishop
and bis party meeting with final de-
feat, even if such an end must be
achieved by the loss Of some Of their
lives and if your readers were as well
acquainted with the devastations which
Mormonism makes upon the virtue and
domestic relations of females Is l am,
they would fully justify the motives
which originate my feelings in the mat
ter. Such events as this are not Of sell
dom occurrence in Utah, and If there
were like facilities Of escape for al the
young women here who appreciate the
servility and indellible disgrace which
Mormonism imposes upon them, the time
would soon come when the "Church Of
God" would be floating wreck upon
the stream Of time, a. it would soon be-
come deficient in the elements OF its vi.
tally. This is strong language, Mr.
Editor, but it is = lamentable yet incon-
trovertible fact. The follow ng lines
from Longfellow's "Hiawatha'' strike me
as apropos to the points / have been
touching on:
Thus it is our daughters leave ~,
Those We love and those who love ne!
just when they have learned to help us,
Comes youth with Haunting feathers;
With his flute Of reeds stranger,
Wanders piping through tho village,
Beekons to the fairest maiden,
And she follows where he leads her,
Leaving all things for the stranger"

Tax CASE OF SrEPHENs.-1nt the Vir-
ginia House on the 9Th, it was an
nounccd that Stephens, now in Jail at
Charlestown, would be tried by the Cir
cult Court OF Jefferson county, and not
by the United States Court at Staunton.
This action, the Speaker explained,
arose from the fact that the recent out
rage on Virginia had been carried to the
United States Senate, and the trial Of
Stephens in u. S. Court was no long
or necessary to bring the matter to the
attention OF the Federal authorities.
