SERIOUS TROUBLES IN UTAH-Private adj
vices from Utah indicate further serious trouble
in that territory. The differences so long ex-
listing between the executive and judiciary were
about to result in a collision between the Unit
ed States troops, under Gen. Johnston, and the
Mormon militia, under Gen. Wills-fve thou
sand of the latter having been called out by
Gov. Cumming to protect the citizens from
what he deems the usurpation of authority ON
the part of the judges and the military. At
the final adjournment of the United States
court, judge Cradlebaugh had caused an entry
to be made in the court records to the effect
that the interference of the Mormons with the
course of justice had rendered the admnistra-
ton of justice impossible, and that the court,
in consequence thereof, was adjourned sine die.
A number of important affidavits had been
made, setting forth the facts of recent Mormon
outrages.

IMPORTANT BIBLICAL DIsCovERy.-Th Lon
don Athen@um says that Professor Tischendorf,
who had been sent by the Russian Government
on journey of scientific exploration, in letter
from Cairo, dated 10th March, states to the
Minister OF Saxony, Herr Won Falkenstein, that
he has succeeded in making some valuable dis
coveries relative to the Bible. The most i'm
portant Of these discoveries is manuscript of
the Holy Scriptures, from the fourth century,
consequently as old as the famous manuscript
OF the Vatican, which hitherto, in all comment
aries, maintained the first rank. This it will have
to share in future with the newly discovered
manuscript, If Herr Tischendorf be not mista-
ken. In 346 beautifully fine parchment leaves,
OF such size that only two can have been out
OF one SKIN, 1t contains the gratest part Of the
Prophets, the Psalms, the Book OF Job, the
Book of JESUS, Sirach, the Proverbs, the Song
OF solomon, and several of the Apocryphal
Books of the Old Testament; but then the whole
OF the New Testament is complete Another

The KNIGHTS TEMPLARs.-On Friday, May
18th, the DE Molay Encampment of Knights
Templars, left Boston for Richmond, Va, by
express invitation of the Knights Templars of
that city, whose visit to Boston last June will
be recollected The newspapers say the Tenn
plars had magnificent time with their breth-
ren who gave them the warmth of Virginia af-
fiction. But pleasures must have an end as
well as all earthly things else, and they were
compelled to bid their southern brethren fare
well and set their faces homeward, and on their
way back called on President Buchanan, and
had the superlativc honor of shaking that dig
nitary by the hand-an honor which seldom
falls to the lot of us mortals away up here
among the bleak mountains of Vermont On
the whole the Templars had glorious time
bands of friendship have been formed between

FESTIVAL OF THE GRAcEs.-.This charming
representation, which was SO successfully given
one year since, in the Town Hall, was again
given on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of
this week, by troupe of one hundred of our
Young Ladies and Misses, under the direction
of the same gentleman who conducted the per-
formance on the former occasion. The young
Ladies' severally and collectively, performed
their parts with much precision and effect, and
did themselves ample credit besides rejecting
much honor upon their teacher As whole,
these Festivals are different from anything else
we have ever had for an evenings amusement,
and besides their attractive display, they are
highly beneficial to all concerned.

be no appeal made to the people, for those who
have money do not "come down with their
dust for the benefit Of a down-going dynasty.
1t was the same in 1915, and Waterloo was lost
from the want of money. 1t is one of the fe-
licites of Napoleon III. that he has had almost
every purse in France extended to him repeat
cdly, and so has never lacked that which is as
much the sinews of peace as of war. He is
now making an appeal for more money, and
the response will show the world exactly where
he stands. Hitherto he has had Aladdins lamp
to guide him along the imperial course, and we
shall soon learn whether his path is still lighted
by its golden beams.

TIE nrALrH OF TIE wEsr

During all the months Of the late winter the
public mind of the Western States was agitat-
ed by visions of wealth believed TO be within
easy grasp of an adventurous population. The
treasures thus coveted lay not in their exuber-
ant soil. Three successive seasons of failure
had saddened the hearts of Western husband
men, and almost shaken confidence in their fer
tile lands Late Springs, followed by rainy
Summers, proved disastrous to the productions
of the earth, and to the hopes of those who
titled it.
Their gloom at length caught ray from the
newly discovered gold fields, and they were in
frame of mind to receive eagerly and credit
with slight scrutiny the tales Of treasure to be
found at Pixies Peak.
Accordingly with the opening Spring the
great Valley poured forth its thousands to dig
for gold. They left behind those praires
whose almost fabulous fertility had, in former
years, drawn them from Eastern homes, and
rushed headlong across the plains, where the
shining ore was expected to reward all their la
bors and privations. Next Fall they trusted to
return enriched and content.
That dream is over. Before the Summer has
begun they are Fastening back, hungry, naked,
and desperate. The gold was delusion they
rush from its reputed locality as from the en-
brace of death. Not few indeed have perish
rich while those who survive are but too hap
py to return to the homes they so lately aban-
doned.
While they have been absent Nature has not
been idle. Her benefcent hand has clothed the
earth in richest verdure. The fields of the Mis-
sissippi Valley are covered with grain. Every
where the promise of unwonted plenty greets
the eye. The crops, now whitening for the har-
vest in Illinois, Iowa, and Indiana, surpass in
Value all that the most sanguine expected from
Pixies Peak. 1t is at home that the deluded
miners should have delved for treasure. The
earth may seem a capricious, but never is an
unkind, mother. She rewards, always, the la
bors of the husbandman.
At the present time, we have, from every
quarter of the country, but more especially
from the Western States, intelligence of crops
abundant almost without parallel. Should no
untoward change take place, the products Of
the West will constitute fund of wealth bet
ter, far better, than the utmost anticipations
ventured to claim from the diggings at Pixies
Peak.-N. L. Times.

A DESPERATE RoBBER.-'rhe attempt to rob
the mail and express on the Erie railroad, on
Wednesday last, was very bold piece of bust
ness. When the express train, wi ich left Jersey
City on Wednesday afternoon, had reached a
point on the Delaware division about ten miles
beyond Port Jervis T.. l.. Covert, the United
States Express messenger, left his car and step
ped into the baggage car, which was next TO il,
leaving in his car, however, Mr. A. Keck, the
United States mail agent, who appears to have
relapsed into dose. Just then, rufIian, who
had been concealed in tn, closet, came out and
applied sponge, saturated in chloroform, to Mr.
Keck's nose. This awoke him, and he at once
seized the stranger by the throat and demanded
his business. The robScr drew a pistol and
threatened to kill the agent, to which the latter
decidedly objected and caught hold of the pistol
in such way that he held the hammer down SO
that the r0bber could not use it. Mr. Keck pitch
ed into the villain for dear life throwing him TO
the floor, releasing the pistol from his grasp and
thrashng him so severely that in few moments
he begged for his life Mr.. Kcck, thinkingit
quite possible that his customer had accomplces
on board who might at any moment come to his
rescue pulled the bell rope in the hope that the
alarm might bring assistance. The engineer
slackcned the train, when the man, inspite of all
keck's efforts, opened the sliding door of the
car. jumped out and made his escape with bare
and very severely bruised head After he had
gone, there was found on the floor which had
been the scene of the scuffie, his cap, slung
shot, broken chloroform bottle and sponge
well wet with chlorofoim. In the closet where he
had hidden was found his overcoat, the pockets
of wi ich contained brandy bottle, large piece
of India rubber oil cloth, piece of oiled silk and

hiding, by temporary burial or otherwise, his
booty, had he been fortunate in his desperate en-
terprise. The robber, Edward Jackson. has
since been arrested.

ROBBERY AND MURDER by RETURNING
Pixies PEAKERs.-A private letter dated Paci-

reached that place that party of starving
Pixies Peak emigrants had attacked and cap,
tured the outward bound trains near OFollen's
Bluffs, and that during the melee, ID. c. Cakes,
the conductor of the trains, was killed, and Mr.
Griffith, the newly appointed postmaster at Au-
roria, en- route to take charge of his Office, was
hung by the desperadoes. 1t is stated that
most of the returning emigrants have not been
as far as the mines. and very few of them as
far as Fort Kearney.
