S'pose you didn't know was a lectu
rer, did you? Well, / am, and fus,

since delivered my last lecture, in the
school house.; my audience wasn't 50
very big, but il was q select crowd,
tell you. My subject was ''anti-women' s
rights" and according to my own judg
ment. it was a good thing in the right
place Twill quote few passages:
Shall we, once noble race, allow
woman's iron heel to trample on our
rights? Oh! my brother sufferers, will
you stand and let your wives be a presi
dent Of this glorious manarchy? cloud
cheers } Then rouse, We heroes Of ten
million interests, arouse ere it is too late.
I will be your leader, for small sala
ry, in the cause. We must put stop
to this. Our wives use too much butter;
they make their pie crust too short; they
don't bile the Eaters long enough; they
allow their buckwheat cakes to sour; our
meals amt half cooked; they talk scan
dalously about us, and could mention
thousands of other wrongs we are vic
tins to- Allow me to be your Moses,

talked on for qnite period, and
was gittin' mad when I was interrupt
ed by my hearers going out I counted
en- as they withdrew; four old men, and
two seven year old boys. I am positive
that they wasn't tired of me; Oh no! the
room was very suffocating, and the fine
speech o'mine made their blood dance
in their veins; so you see they only wen t
out to git a leetle fresh air. I wait
ed for their return, but / s'pose duty
called them home; SO I lock ed up and
left. Sumhow, folks don't appreciate my
talents. It's burning shame, too: but,
in comm days the world shall kneel at
my feet, kiss the ground I walk on, pay
awful prices to git look at my iutelli
gent face, &c.
One thing my father allus taught me,
was to make the best Of things, and not
to whine like other people do, and I've
minded him. don't allow myself to
grumble, but be cor tented.
Mercy! Sslhe's'let that pot bile over.
Dear. dear. such extravigance.

Our young friend Wright was woun-
ded in the war of the rebellion. from
which he has fully recovered. From
the above we would judge that he lla 8
been incurably wounded by one OF the
famous darts of Cnpid-a little ceremony
has made all WRIGHT, however. May
happiness attend them.
Gg We regret exceedingly to learn
OF the death Of Granville r. Shumm,
brother OF William III. Shumm proprie
tor OF the Rushville Republican. He
was young man of promise; generous
to fault, and greatly endeared to a
re ircle of friends and acquaintan-
ces, who now mourn his untimely death.
Green be the turf Ger his grave.
The overland mails, beth ways, still detained
by the snow. On the Union Pacific Railroad, at the
crossing of the Rocky and Wasatch Mountain Ranges
the blockade extends hundred miles, and is all
east of Salt Lake. The Central Pacific trains, west
of Salt Lake. are making regular trips. No deten-
ton of more than twelve hours has occurred during
the winter. The track of the Central Pacific road
has reached the Utah country, and is graded, with
