A Chapter Of Mormon Life.

The following history OF ono of the
victims of Mormonism is from the st.
Joseph, Missouri, Herald: ~ =
Somewhat over one year ago, a young
lady left her home in Pennsylvania
home where all the luxuries of lite were
at her command. Her parents were in
dulgent, and she, an only child, was
loyedtby them with all the fondness OF
true PARENTAL affection. No wish OF
hers remained unqualified, for she was
the idol of those parents, and the light
of the home made desolate by an act
which will forever cast Its shadow on
the hear. In February, 1864, she be-
cam acquainted with Mormon preach
er, who painted to her in glowing terms
the glories of Utah and the Mormon re-
Iigion. He told her of the beautiful val
leys of Utah, fortified on all sides by
giant mountains, whose peaks, FURNISH
ed by eternal SHOWS, looked down upon
the valleys of perpetual green, peopled
by Gods own chosen kindred, who
were free as the mountain torrents that
leap therocks ofloftYTimpanago' range.
He told her of the content and peace
reigning among the saints, and assured
her that the Mormons were Gods own
peculiar people, and SO worked upon
her imagination that she finally consent.
ed to leave friends, family and all the
endearments of home, and go with him
to the Valley of Saints. Arriving at
Chicago he forced her to marry him,
the Ceremony being performed by a
mock priest, without record or license.
In April, she left Wyoming, Nebras-
ka, with Mormon train, for the land
of promise, and finally arrived in the
city of the saints. Here she found that
her husband had four other wives, who
regarded her with no tender emotions,
but heaped abuse and contumely upon
her head. After few months her leige
lord told her he had concluded to seal
her to- another, who had taken. o great
fancy to her; that his other wives were
Jealous, and declared his last wife should
live with him no longer. She declared
she would die before she would thus be
put away I'D forced to live as the wife
of a man with whom she had no ac-
quaiDtance, and had seen but once in
her life. Her husband told her it was
Brigham's order and she must do SO or
lose her life. Determined not to be
thus sacrificed, she started to run away,
with the intention OF making her way to
Camp Breckinridge, in Cedar Valley,
then garrisoned by United States troops,
and claim protection there. She started
on foot, and after travelling about ten
miles was caught and brought back,
placed in dungeon, or rather cellar,
and was thus kept for a month, with
just food enough to sustain life. The

she told her tale of suffering. The Gen

Naughty Story.

A New York correspondent writes:
Shall tell you naughty story? Let

Some time ago carnival came off on

Bretoness, with starched cap and

limbs free circulation. Folio,. being
absorbed in business, bad forgotten to
ask what his wife's garb would be, but

Characteristic Letter, frem sherman, on
the Horse.
ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. I6.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 16.
Rev. -, Confederate Army:
DEAR SIR:-Your letter of Sept. 14th
is received. i approach a question in
volving title to ''horse" with defer
ence for the laws of war. That mystic
rious code of which we talk so much,
but know so little, is remarkably silent
on the s'horse" He is beast SO tempt
ing to the soldier, to him of the wild
cavalry, the fancy artillery, patient in
fantry, that find more difficulty in re-
covering a worthless, spawned beast
than in paying million 'greenbacks;"
so that fear that / must reduce your
claim to one of finance, and refer you
to the great board of claims, in Wash
ington, that may reach your case by the
time your grandchild becomes a great
grandfather.
Privately, think it was a shabby
thing In the scamp of the 31st Missouri,
who took your horse, and the colonel OF
his brigadier should have restored him.
"When this cruel war is over" and
peace once more gives you a parish, |
will promise If near you to procure out
of one of Uncle Sans corrals a beast
that will replace the one taken from
you so wrongfully; but now it is impos-
sible. We have big journey before
us, and need all we have, and l fear
more too; so look out when the Yanks
are about and hide your beasts, for my
experience IS that all soldiers are very
careless in search for the title. i
know Gen. Hardee viii confirm this my
advice.
With great respect, yours truly
- w. II. SHERMAE.
