THE MORMON NURSERY IN WALEs.-The
following appears in the Pail Mall Gazette :
- We recorded the other evening a stray
piece of news which probably attracted lit
tie attention in England, but which, if it
fell into the hands of quick American
writer, might be made the basis of very
interesting work. As it is very short, we
may venture to repeat 1t: Six hundred
and fifty Mormon emigrants sailed from
/ Liverpool on Saturday for the Salt Lake by
the way of New York. \ large proportion

rican bookmaker who wished to do a clever
thing had only to 90 to Liverpool after
reading this paragraph and there make H.
quiries about the Mormons. He would
probably be referred to Wales, and il he
pursued his Journey thither he would soon
discover that he had hit upon the large
training ground of Mormondom. He would
ind that ,ce rear the followers of Brigham
Dung and that America gets the credit of
them. \ thrilling picture OF the trightful
state of social life in Great Britain might
be drawn from the presence among us of
strange sects. Wales is a great deal near

or Oneida Greek is to anything which de-
serves to be called American; and an

James NJ DicIey IS John H0,rard apt. We
ire informed that our report, week before
last, Of the trial of said action in Orange
county court was Incorrect and that the facts
we're substantially as follows. to wit
In August a ID. 1866, the defendant
bought of the plaintiff in Orange, one heifer
and two steers for 500, and paid So to bind
the bargain; 10 take TIE heIter soon.
but the steers were TO run in plaintiff pas
Jure until the defendant should choose to
lake them away before foGdering. In about
Dne week after said sale the defendant sent
Tor said heifer and paid the plaintiff about
what he called her value in the trade, when
the plaintiff informed the defendants agent
that he should not let defendant have the
the steers and had not sold them-that the
- paid was paid toward the heifer alone
About October Goth of the same year, the de-
PENDANT went To plaintiff pasture and
drove said steers TO the road, and then
vent To the plaintiff 5 house to pay him the
balance due for said cattle, but could not
lind the plaintiff. and thca endeavored TO per-
suade the plaintiff : wife to take said money
but she refused, saying the steers were hers,
and that her husband had no right TO sell
them. The defendant then drove said steers
towards his home in Barre, but before he
got them home the plaintiff had prayed out a
writ of trespass on the freehold before JUS
tice, demanding so damages, and attached
said steers as the property of the defendant,
which were afterwards sold on said writ by
the officer, under the statute in such case
made and provided, and the plaintiff procured
them bid in at sos, and took them home,
and after which said suit was dismissed on
the ground that the justice had no .lurisdic-
ton, and the plaintiff paid the defendant
costs amounting to some Sd The plaIntI Il
then brought several suits against the defend
ant for the same thing, which were discon-
tinucd for some informality, among which
suit of trespass Ia which the officer,
who held said funds was trusteed. &c, and
finally when the sixth copy was served on
the defendant, which was trespass, and In
the present case the defendant appeared be-
fore the Justice and submitted to such iudg-
ment as the plaintiff claimed SO and costs)
and took his appeal. la the county court
the defendant filed his pleas, setting forth
the foreg going facts, and claiming that he
purchased said steers and took them he
lawfully might, and had ever been willing to
pay for them whenever the plaintiff would
receive the same. 1t appeared that when the
plaintiff came with the officer and attached
said steers, the defendant rendered to the
plaintiff the amount due for them. The
Jury returned verdict that the defendant
was not guilty, aud that he recover his eoets
and then added thatIt the court should think
that the defendant vas liable for taking said
steers to the road before he rendered pay for
the same, then they found for the plaintiff to
recover one cent damages. This may not be
the exact wording but it is substantially Cor
rect.
The court held that although the defendant
would not have been liable for taking said
steers to the road before rendering payment
to plaintiff, provided he had made said tender
before driving them away, but that tender
to plaintiff s wi e who not authorized to
receive it, would not be sufficient, and there
fore the defendant was technically a trespass-
er, and rendered Judgment for plaintiff to
recover one cent damages and one cent costs. |
1t appears that the defendant some time
since brought his action against the officer to
recover the amount for which said cattle were |
sold by him, which is now pending in court I
A SINGULAR WANT-The Secretary of
the Connecticut Valley Conference of |
Unitarian and other
Churches announces a very singular want,
namely: I" a few dull ministers-men who |
may not have the necessary qualifications
for great parishes, with great salaries, in |
the cities, but would be content to be hon.
est, faithful, devoted pastors of country |
parishes men who would be content to
live out of sight of the Boston State House,
and fulfill in some humble way, as far as
the times will allow, the old ideal of a
country minister. We need four or five
such ministers very much at once-not
men of snowy parts, so much as men of an
earnest and devoted spirit. We could have
nalf-a-dozen new societies very soon. if we
could find the right men to be the minis
ters. 1t is very probable that modesty ,or
some other quality may operate to hinder
great many from applying for such pas
