Dexter will trot onco moro this
week, and so thcn to Chicago, where
he fills two engagements. On tho
10th ofScptember he goes into Mr..
Bonner's stable. and will thereafter
disappear from the turf From that
timo he will never again trot for
money, bnt in consideration Of the
fact that the Buffalo Park has wit
messed. his two greatest achieve
ments, Mr.. Bonncrfit is said, has
promised to show him here next
summer, together with his other
horses, which are as follows;
Peerless, who has mado tho best
time on record to wagon, 2:34f.
p The Auburn horse, oight years
old, who can beat 2:20.
Pocahontas, who can go in 2;23.
Palmer and Flatbush, who have
together made 5;01f to a road wag-

Tho price. paid for Dexter is as yet
a secret, but tits over $4,000, prob.

Brigham YOuI,g and the Indians.
In addition to tho embarrassments
which informal dissensions have
brought upon, the community of
Mormons, andsto which the Cres-
cent has referred several times of
late, tho dominions of Brigham
Young are now threatened. by an
clement hitherto remarkably friend
ly to Mormondom. Tho discovery
of gold mines within easy reach Of
the saints, created quite a furore in
Utah recently, and though Brig
ham attempted to dissuade the faith
'ful from trying their fortunes at the
"diggings, u he was not wholly sue
cessful. 1t RS indeed said, by some
of the irrevcront, that Brigham's s
opposition to this hunt for filthy lu-
ere may be accounted for by the
prophets desire to work the mines
for his own especial benefit, or for
that Of the.trcasury of tho saints
which does not signify the same
thing as the saints themselves. The
Indians claim tho mines rs q part OF
their domain, and a very ugly ques-
ton is thus presented for The con-
siaerat1on of that astnlu statesman
the Mormon president. a foreign
war he does not want whilc his at
tention rs distracted by intcrnlcinc
struggles. The,position Of that de-
posit in-the Bank Of England, which
he has prevented EI'cr Pratt from
drawing, and Which he cannot him
self use owing to Elder Watts in.
'terference, is II matter NI0Rly more
important to Brigham than tho
money claimed by, tho. Mashakees.
At tho same time lie may be unable
to control his people. The time
was when the extreme forbearanco
of the Indian tribes towards the
Mormons, coupled with their con-
tinual oulrages upon the gentiles,
in, or passing through Utah lied the
latter to suspect that very un saint
ly treaties must have existed be-
tween the saints and the red heath
ems. IF such was once the case, it
appears that Brigham Young is no
longer all,powcrful among them.

NEW MODE OF OBTAINING WATER.
We have recently observed mag
ricultural and other papers, eonsid,
crable comment upon n new method
of obtaining water by driving an
iron tube, with solid pointed end,
to the required depth in the ground,
and then attaching pump to the
top. The tube is perforated near
the lower end to ADMIT the water.
trhe plan is said to have proved en-
tirely successful, and the water is at
all times clear and free from impu-
rites, there being no place for rats
in or for filth TO accumulate, as in
an ordinary well. The sandy soil
and tho absence of rocks in this re-
,gion renders it peculiarly favorable
for wells Of this character, and if as
sepyiseabie, as some of our exchang-
es represent them, they will prove
great advantage 10 the country
