Relief for lsratiOt County.

On Frid,y last, Gov. Wisaer signed the
bill which had previously passed both lIous-
es, for the relief of the suffering population
OF Gratiot county. On Saturday he drew
from the treasury three thousand dollars,
under the provisions of the law, for the pur-
pose of carrying out its design. Yesterday
N. w. Clsrk. Esq. of Charleston, who has
besn appointed for the purpose. was in this
city, purchasing supplies, and this morning
some three or four car loads of the staple
necessaries of lf', will be dispatched to
Gratiot county, as the first instalment Of the
relief appropriated by the Legislature in aid
OF our suffering citizens. 1t is apparent
that there will be no want Of promptnass
in fulfilling the design of The Legislature in
this matter, and while a benevolent and
just act will be accomplished, and the mate
rial interests of the State will be advanced.
The sound judgment and superior business
qualities of Mr.. Clark, render him one o.
the most efficient agents that could have
been selected for this purpose Ad

Progress Of Light and KNOWLEDGE

1t is really wonderful to witness the
progress which some inventions have
made, in spite of the most bitter and
powerful opposition. This has been
the case with gas-lighting in the city
of Philadelphia. The Philadelphia
Ledger publishes a document or ~.
monstrance made in 1888, by large
number of the most wealthy and dis
tinguished citizen, against lighting the
city with gas. They relate in the
document that lighting by gas is a
most offensive and dangerous mode
They considered it "as ignitible as gun
powder, and nearly as fatal in its ef-
tects, and as it regards the immense
destruction of property, we believe the
vast number of fires in New York and
other cities must be, in a great mea-
sure, Inscribed to this mode Of light
ing" They also represented that if
gas vas introduced, "the waters Of the
Scbuylkiil and Delaware rivers-now
considered the most pure and saiubri-
Gus in the world, as many long voyages
have tested-must soon, we fear, ex-
perience in deterioration which has
reduced the waters of the Thames to
the present impure and unhealthy
state They also represented tn; t the
tutd smell of the drains from the gas
works would soon destroy all the fish
in the rivers, and in conclusion, they
solicited that "the lighting Of the city
with oil may DO continued.
The keenest satire which can be
published on the light which then
shone upon the minds of such petition
ers is that one of them, Mr.. John c.
Cresson, is now chief-enginecr and
superintendent of the city gas works,
which we're erected in 1886, and which
are now the pride of the very parties
who demonstrated against their intro
duction. so we live and learn

The following is an extract Of a
letter, dated Salt Lake, January 18th,
received by gentleman in st. Louis
Yesterday, January 9Th, Judge ST.:
CLAIR adjourned the Grand Jury, sine
die, in this city, upon the petition of
nine members Of that body, in witch
they declare their inability to proceed
in the examination of witness, owing
to the excitement and violence mani
tested.
We have it from unquestionablc
authority that factious spirit ran so
high that they were upon the eve Of a
general fight. Hands were on rcvol-
vers, &c. Matters were happily quiet
ed by an able speech Of one OF the
members, Capt. A. F. Garrison. 1t is
scarcely probable that another Grand
Jury will be convened again in this
city. The jury was divided between
nine Gcntles and twelve Mormons.-
Yesterday, rcvolvers were drawn by
two of the Grand Jury, who were pre-
vented by persons present from doing
injury.
The excitement is high in this
Territory, and the idea Of an impartial
jury or justice being obtained IN this
city is farce consequently, there i.
an end to the administration Of law
| presume martial law will take it,
place."

The !Scotman Newspaper relates the fol
lowing story which rather goes ahead Of all
the fish and snake narratives ever pnt in
print:
About the end of July or the beginning
August last, q woman named Cathaline
Ferguson, the wife of q miner named Nc
Lean. at Clifton, near the head of Loeb
Lofnmond. lost her marriage ring whilst en-
gagged in putting in or building peats, and.
notwithstanding that every search was
made for il At the time, il could not be
found. About a fortnight ago the cat
brought rat into the house, and around
the neck OF the rat was the missing mar
riage-ring. 1t is supposed. as rats are
known to carry off coins or pieces Of gold
or silver, that the ring had been taken to
the rats nest, where it had gone over the
neck Of one Of the young ones, and re
manned there until the animal had advanced
in growth. and, curiously enough. had been
captured by the cat Mrs. Mclean. wht
had been about year married, was no lesi
Iejoiced in getting possession again Of bel
lost ring, than surprised at the very singu
lar way in which it was recovered.

been prepared for the boy. He left large
