Ingenuity of Belgian Thieves.

We all know (some, perhaps, by
sad experience) what articles are put
into practice in all large cities, by
thieves, to get possession of goods
coveted by them; in many cases exer-
cising ingenuity worthy of better
cause The last new dodge out was
practiced at Bruges, and the Impair
rat gives the following account of the
description. Two ladies presented
themselves at shop in the Rue st.
Jacques, where the elder of them
made purchase ofgoods, and then TAX
ing out her purse, found that she had
omitted to bring with her the needful
funds; she requested that one of the
assistants should be sent home with
her for the money, and a shop wo-
man accordingly accompanied the
new customers. They went
to Carmelite convent, where the ell
by name, and on his calling to her
held some private conversation with
him. In a few minutes the father
made sign to the girl to follow him.
Co." said the lady, " follow the
reverend father, he will pay you the
amount. The girl complied, and ac-
companied the friar into a room,
where she she was asked to sit down.

your confession" [ don't want to

money" What money! said the
friar. 6 The price of goods purchas-
ed by the ladies who brought me

said the friar, " she told me you wish

to do so in private place" The ex-
planation was complete; the girl
rushed out to find that the = ladies "
had made good their escape, taking

From the y. Y. Tribune.l
A R0ugh-and Tumble Convention.

On Saturday morning last. at the
early hour of three clock, a select
party of roughs, thieves and murder
ers had assembled in the vicinity Of
Fort Lee for the purpose Of assisting
at a rough and tumble prize fight for
the sum of 5000, between two very
notorious characters, respectively
named in the nomenclature of the
prize-ring Blister Cunningham !"
and ''Nosey Redmond" Now, to the
readers of the Tribune, who are very
ignorant of all these rowdy doings,
there may seem to be no distinction
whatever between what is termed a
s. regular " ring ze-fght and a
rough and tumble y encounter
which we shall describe There is,
however, a very material difference
between the two. For a regular ring
fight the contestants have to be train
ed for weeks before the fight takes
place, and when the men enter the
ring they have to submit to establish
ed rules, which enjoin upon the com
batants a system of what is termed
fair play, and enforces upon them the
necessity of standing up while beat
ing each others faces to pieces. In a
rough and tumble it is altogether diff
ferent, as the rowdies are allowed
every latitude and brutality, inasmuch
as biting, gouging and kicking the
eyes and heads off are deemed worthy
of the highest praise from the ruffians
who attend the worse than gladiatori-
al combat. 1t was fight of this kind
that the sixty or seventy roughs who
assembled at Fort Lee, on Saturday
morning, were to witness. At b
o'clock, seventy or eighty of these
gentlemen had collected in pleasant.

nor ropes had been furnished for the
combat, and hard looking fellow

of his nose eaten off, and two f gers
missing from his left hand, which he
stated to our reporter had been shot

the clause prohibiting the interment
of colored people in the cemetery.
He at once reconveyed the lots to the
company, with his reasons, and asked
that they be put upon the record. A
short time ago he purchased couple
of lots in Woodward Hill Cemetery,
and when the deeds were handed to
him he noticed similar clause ex-

The MOrmOns.

The Mormons appear to be lncreas-
ing rapidly by proselytism. About
two weeks ago steamer left Liver
pool with four hundred on board.
An English paper says there was
about an equal proportion of men
and women among them, the princl-
pal part of whom were young, per-
haps ranging from eighteen to twenty
eight years of age. \ small minority
was made up of persons who must
have reached between thirty and fifty
years. The forward part of the ship
was devoted to their exclusive use,
and according to contract with the
company no persons were permitted
in that part of the vessel, or to asso-
ciate with the Mormon proselytes.
The emigrants belonged to Wales,
the western counties of England, and
some came from Scotland, but there
was not a single lrishman or Irish
woman among them. About four
hundred have lately arrived at New
York from Denmark, Sweden, and
No way, bound to Salt Lake.
Late dates from Salt Lake say the
secret of the difficulty between Brig
ham Young and Orson Pratt is that
Young stopped Pratts checking
against the church fund in the Bank of
! England. Pratt says the funds be-
long to the church, and that Young is
not the church, and he has come
home to look into the matter. Brig
ham Young, jr., who is now in New
York, says only one influential mem
Der of the Mormon Church at Salt
Lake has left it, and that its power
will not be affected by the apostasy.
He says they have five hundred miles
of telegraph in operation in Utah,
and that 500 men are constantly en-
ployed on public works, one of which
is the Tabernacle at Salt Lake. New
York city is the Mormon market,
where all kinds of goods are pur-
chased, and Philadelphia is their
market for machinery. Four large
wooden factories are now being
freighted from Philadelphia. Cotton
is raised in large quantities in South

The Farming Country of Missouri.

The Farming Country VI M.sSVuTi'
DIR. E. III. SABIN, who is now on
visit to Western Missouri, writes to
the Rockport Umpire, from Sedalia,
as follows:
The country, apprehend, is what
your readers will be most interested
In. Well, it is emphatically a good
country Good soil, unusually good
timber for a prairie country. and an
abundance of limestone and coal.
Improved farms are rated at from ten
to thirty-fve dollars per acre, ac-
cording to improvement. Unimprov-
ed lands at from four to ten dollars
per acre, according to quality add dis
lance from railroad. The city is
$50 miles from ST. Louis, and is the
point at which the Fort Scott Rail
road will cross the Pacific road.
Good, unimproved lands on the line
of this new road can be bought at 81
per acre, and certainly presents strong
inducements to persons able to make
Investments. In the counties OF Main,
Miller, Camden and Hickory, there
are lands yet to be entered under the
homestead act, and with warrant and
money. The immigration to South
west Missouri and Southeast Kansas
is immense Almost daily trains OF
wagons may be seen moving in this
direction. Whether this is a good
country or not makes no difference !;
the people think so, and acting on
this belief, they are crowding it in
large numbers. They pay here So 80
for breaking prairie, and fencing
forty acres at one time costs
80 so per acre, making 81 per acre
for breaking and fencing their and.
They calculate the first crop, if wheat,
to pay 25 or 80 per cent more than
cost of breaking and fencing; if corn,
it is regarded as about equal to these
two items. A farmer in Spencer
County told me that he paid SIC 80
per acre for clearing three acres, and
still his field had roots and stumps in
it, while the prairie farmer>h has field
ready for meadow.
Were | young man, | would be
disposed to emigrate to this country
for a permanent home; but | expect
to die and be buried in the old Hoo
sier State. My advice to young men
is, come out to this lice country.

tie or no money since the war; they
have not been able to employ the la
Dor they wanted, because they had not
the money to pay for it.
An abundant crop will place money
in their hands, with which they can
recruit their stock and employ good
labor at the wages of good laborers.
Labor being paid for according to its
value, the condition and Industrial
habits of the freedmen will be direct
ly benefited.
Between the first OF July and the
first of November, this vast volume
of actual wealth will be added to the
national capital, it represents so much
gold, but is more indispensable than
gold.
The abundance of the crop in the
articles we have mentioned contrib
utes also to like increase in countless
other articles. The grass crop of this
year which. perhaps, will surpass any
of its predecessors, indicates an in
crease of pasturage, and consequently
of fat beeves and other live stock.
The corn crop points to an immense
addition to the number of hogs to be
slaughtered. The products of the
garden show the general bounty OF
nature, and from countless sources
will be added the contributions from
the crop of 1867 to the aggregate
wealth of the country.

The Increase OF National Wealth
Harvest Of 1861.
From the Chicago Tribune.l


1t is now anascertained fact that the
crop of wheat which has been gather
ed, and is now gathering in the Uni
ted States, is generally the largest and
best which has ever been raised in
this country. The cotton, sugar, rice
and tobacco crops give promise Of a
larger yield than has been known
since 1860, while the corn gives an
assurance that it will exceed in
amount that of any previous yield.
There is no material blessing equaling
in value this general success of all
kinds of agricultural products Its
benefits are direct, and reach
every human being in the land. The
breadth OF wheat sown this year in
all parts of the country is greatly in
excess OF any previous year, and the
crop has reached a successful
harvesting more free from eau
sualties of all kinds, than
has ever been known. The wheat,
both Winter and Spring. will be of a
superior quality. This will be cheer
ing news to consumers, and will light
en- the hearts Of thousands o.whom
bread has of late been almost
luxury. The fruit crop, Of every
kind, will be large and fine one.
We have already enjoyed yhe smaller
fruits, which have been both plenty
and of good quality. while he APP
pie and peach crop promises like
abundance 1t is true that in some
portions of the Mississippi Valley the
cotton and sugar plantations have suf-
fered seriously from the overflow OF
the rivers, but, Notwithstanding this
fact, the general crop in those arti-

These figures show the extent of the

the land devoted to agricultural pro-
