SNUFF D1Pp1NG.-A correspondent Of
the Boston Journal writes:
A few months 'ince l attended a
country church in West Tennessee, and
saw lady of good general appearance,
dressed in the richest style, walk up one
of the aisles with stick in her mouth
She took her seat, arranged her crino.
line, drew out her snuff box, which she
opened, and then proceeded during the
services to "dip snuff" The settee back
Of her seat was unoccupied, and when
she had occasion to spit, as she did fire..
queutly, she gracefully turned her head
back and spit between tie vacant sea,
and the one she occupied. 1t really
seemed filthy, but there is nothing like
getting used to such things.

The Mormon Women.

The Utah correspondent of the New
York Times states that the Norm On
women would be glad to escape from the
degradation Of their masters, if they
could. They are treated like slaves and
are watched with great jealousy. The
writer says:
"Some time ago Heber Kimball was
lecturing some missionaries who were
preparing to start out on foreign mis-
sions, in the Tabernacle, and said 10
them, Brethren, l want you to under
stand that it il not to be - has been
heretofore. The brother missionaries
have been in the habit Of picking out
the prettiest women tor themselves be-
fore they get here, and bringing on the
ugly ones tor us; hereafter you have to
bring them al here before taking any oil
them, and let US all have fair shake.
The old reprobate then had at least q
score Of women whom he called wives.
History shows that poIygamy has never
existed in any community for fifty years
without women becoming an article Of
merchandise. The traffic has ALREADY
commenced in Utah. l will mention
one Of the severest instances brought to
my notice
AT Ogden City, about ninety mile,
north of this place, III July, 1858, q young
English woman was sold to man for :
wagon load Of pumpkins, the pumpkins
to be paid in pumpkin time. When
payday csme the fellow took the wo.
man back and said he didn't want her
Of course the parties rued bargains and
quit. The story may seem very ridicu.
lous, but is was told me, and its truth
vouched for, by alady who crossed tn,
ocean with the woman who was sold
and she has been intimately acquainted
with her ever since her arrival in thi
territory. ! have no reason to doub
it, truth, and give it to the world y
illustrative Of the estimation in which
women ore held by the Aornons."

Ii Medicine il Necessary, use Brand.
reth's Pills.-They are - pleasant as . truely
effective medicine can be. 1t is true you may
take Iurgatves which will operate without pain,
because they take the balsamic parts from the
blood, which is worse than being bled, verse than
having the vital fluid distracted. Beware OF
them. BRANDRsrH.s PILLS only take hold Of those
matters by which the body, when sick, wants to
evacuate. They are solely an assistant OF nature
nothing more, nothing less. They do not force !;
they merely assist; and herein is their great val
ne. The man is thrice blessed who is 50 fortunate
as to be acquainted with this good and almost per-
feet gift TO man, because he has to a great extent
his body ensured in health by their occasional
use. Principal Office, 2s4 Canal street, New York.

THE transplanting ef piece of flesh,
as for instance a new nose for a man cut
off his cheek or forehead, is one Of the
wonders of surgery. But a New York
physician has gone further and trans.
planted piece OF bone, to reproduce
the nasual bone, which haa been totally
destroyed by disease. The experiment
has been so recently made that its sue.
cess 10 not yet tested, but similar one,
made upon animals have succeeded.

Michael Baird, Tor Bear, as ie 10
sometimes ealIed,) who lived near Little
York, Pennsylvania, was . miserable
miser. His father left valuable farm,
of five hundred acres in the vicinity Of
York, with some farming and household
articles. He kept tavern for number
Of years, married and raised four child
rem. lie accumulated an immense e.
tate, which he reserved 90 tenaciously
that he never afforded . dollar for the
education Of his children. He never
was known to pay out one dollar in
cash for any article he might be in need
Of; he would either do without it, or
find some person who would batter with
him for something he could not conven-
iently sell for money. He farmed large
" and kept large distillery, which he
supplied entirely with his own grain
He kept team for the conveyance of
mis- whisky to Baltimore, where, when
be could not sell for money at price
that suited him, he battered for uecessar-
les for his family aud tavern. In this
way he amassed an estate worth four
hundred thousand dollars.
Such was bis attachment to money
that he was never known to credit .
single dollar to any man. Upon the
best mortgage sucurity that could be
given he would not lend = cent
He never vested one dollar in public
funds, neither would no keep the notes
Of any bank longer than he could get
them changed. He deposited his specie
in large iron chest, until it would hold
no more. He then provided a strong
iron hoped barrel, which he also filled.
After his death his strong box yielded
two hundred and thirty thousand dollars
in gold and silver.
The cause OF MS death was rs remark
able as the course of his life. A gentle
man from Virginia offered him twelve
dollars bushel for one hundred and
ten bosheIs Of clover seed, but he would
not sell it for less than thirteen dollars,
and they did not agree. The seed was
afterwards sent to Philadelphia, where it
was sold for seven dollars per bushel,
and brought in the whole five hundred
and fifty dollars less than the Virginian
had offered for it. On receiving an &C
count OF its sale, he walked through his
farm, went to his distillery, and gave
directions to his people /; he then went
to his wagon house and there hung him
self.

tesO01 Va W.
Daily Journal (Democratic) is to be
begun on the 24tb inst.
GES. SHIELDS 10 out lecturing. He
lectures this "wednesday evening At
Dubuque. Subject: -" Mexico, "a
theme upon which the General ought to
be thoroughly posted.
The Keokuk Gate CITY of the 18th
mentions, that on Monday last, its editor,
J. B. Howell, made his first appearance
ont Of doors since the severe accident
which befell him last November. He
hopes TO lie able to resume his editorial
labors in about month.
The Lyons Mirror says that Messrs.
Root Bros. & 20. have sold out their
banking business in that city, together
with the building corner Of Main and
Second streets, to o. McMahan l.
Evans, who will continue the business at
the old place. We understand the
building was sold for $4,000.
The Delhi Nsws of the goth, speaks
of SOW in that town having given
birth to q wonderful monstrosity of a
pig. The animal had double row oil
teeth from the head back two bodies,
joined on the sides i; four legs before and
ak behind two pair Of lungs; two
tongues; and what is more remarkable
than all, the monstrosity was both male
and female. 1t had no signs Of life when
born.
The Dubuque Herald says that the
Turnverein Society Of that city has been
compelled to make an assignment OF
their corporate effects. Their entire To-
debtness amounts to some $l1, OOO-of
which about "a, 900 has fallen due, while
the remainder occurs in periods of from
10 to 20 years. Their assets amount to
about $4,000, consisting Of the Hall
and other real estate. A detailed state
ment of the whole matter will probably
be given within a very short time.
The Herald hopes the matter will be
arranged to accommodate all parties.
The Lyons advocate says that boy
named Hall, about IA years Of age,
was seriously injured at Boynton's plan
ing mill on Friday last. lie was en-
ployed in the mill, and while engaged at
his work he got caught in the machine
ry and had both his arms badly broken,
one Of them being literally torn to
pieces, so that fragments Of the bone.
came out. 1t is feared the injuries will
prove fatal. Young Hall is the son Of
widow Hall, Of Buell's addition, and this
unfortunate accident will prove heavy
affection to her. We understand the
young man conducted himself Ike lit.
tie hero when he was taken home after
the accident and endeavored to cheer
his mother and soothe hor anguish.
Nor So.-A paragraph is going the
rounds that one johnson, formerly a
Lieut.. Governor of the State, has been
appointed U. S. Marshal of the State OF
Iowa, and that the appointment has been
confirmed by the Senate. This is not
so, Is no such man was ever Lieut.. Gov
ernor of this State, nor is our old friend
Summers removed, that we have heard
Of. He is every way qualified for the
position, and his removal At this time
would be extremely unjust in our opin-
ion. When Summers is removed, it will
be when Republicanism succeeds in OBJ
tanning the power they so anxiously de-
sire.-Lyons Advocate.

Frauds in ConneCticut.

11oWOo - CORRESPONDENCE
Smarting under the heavy, death
dealing blows which the gallant De-
mocraoy showersd down upon their
heads with irresistable force, the Black
Republicans Of Connecticut are attempt
ing to rid outsiders of the idea that
their force is greatly weakened, by en-
deavoring to make it appear that the
Democracy resorted to fraud in voting.
The same old cry which we always hear
when the Opposition gets thrashed at
the hands of the Democracy, is now
raised. They are not content with the
fact that they succeeded in electing their
candidate, but because Of his insignifcant
majority, and in order to fix matters for
the coming contest they put forth the
cry of great frauds among the Demo-
Gratis. 1t is of no use. The Republican
majority which for several elections has
been growing "smaller by degrees and
beautifully Less will change into an in
glorious minority At the next trial, in
spite Of all the cry raised about Demo
cratic frauds, With the proper man for
Presidential candidate, set Connecticut
down for q round Democratic majority
next November.

The Reports Of the proceedings OF
the Charleston National Democratic
Convention IS published in our yesterday
mornings issue, have been read with .
great deal of attention and eagerness by
al, and yet, We presume, none were
much enlightened - to the general re-
suit. These reports it will be seen, con-
tanned . good deal Of buncombe and
bosh which originated from reporters
and correspondents whose proclivities
we're anything but Democratic, and
whose sober regard for the truth we may
get down IS being very small. The idea
advanced that the celebrated House Of
the Rothschilds has become interested
in the nomination of Douglas, and that
they will, through their agent, August
Belmont, spend their money like sand to
secure the same, is about as strupend.
Gus . roorback As we have ever noticed
and was originated, Of course, in the fer
tile brain Of some Black Republican
whose regard for truth is fair sample
Of that of his fsllows-of that of the
party IN general. Mr.. Belmont goes to
Charleeton-but not as the agent Of the
House of Rothschild, but ~ an Ameri-
can politician Is one who feels inter
ested perhaps in the nomination Of Mr..
Douglas.
The idea, also, that Corcoran, Slidell
and Bright have determined to expend
two millions to defeat the nomination OF
Senator Douglas is piece of the same
sort-all CANNON, IS every intelligent
man will decide. If those gentlemen
have any such amount of money to
spend, and that is probable, they will
use it on some more important occasion.
1t is to be expected that great exer-
tons will be made for the nomination oil
certain men, and that there will be many
influences brought to bear to accomplish
the same, but VIC cannot see what car
be the object Of the opposition in forg
ing such unreasonable falsehoods unless
it be to keep up their reputation.
Az to who will be nominated, W,
leave that in the hands of the Conven
tion-contented to abide by the result
and ready to place his name at the head
of our columns, and to 60 into the cam
paigu with hearty good will.
