A SrAErL1SG SUGGEsTIoN.-The Sar

that the murder of Mrs. Willford wa!
committed by Destroying Angels" il
employ of Normons. The Appeal copie:
the remarks Of the Chronicle, but make;

That is scarcely sufficient grounds for
such a charge The Mormons do not
destroy all their bitter enemies; and il
other reasons, or if circum stances to
justify the suspicion expressed can be
shown, the local paper ought to give the
facts to the White Pine Ners,

Tha, Mrs. MILFORD was formerly a
Mormon, but of late years bitterly OPP
posed to them, and for this reason dis
liked by them, is well known. Two of
her children, at the time of her death
were in charge of Mr.. Mills, (whose ties

was formerly a Mormon. also now Bit
terly opposed to them and at present a
member of the Methodist Church. The
three men who occupied the house with

knowledge We are rot prepared to state
that they are general. There is certainly

possession of her money. If Mr.. Mills
statements are correct, she must have
had 10 her possession at the time of her
death at least from one thousand to
fifteen hundred dollars probably a
larger sum. There is no evidence of
her having disposed of the money paid
her but short time previous to her
death, and no clue OF it has been Oh

reverse of this might reasonable be ex-

the miners have taken TO the woods,
their cabins and elsewhere, excepting
on the streets, to await results. We

Manuscript Sermons.

Bishop Meade, of Virginia, at the COM
mencement of his preaching, used no notes
in the pulpit; but subsequently he wrote all
his sermons, and was much confined to his
manuscripts. 1t is related of him that, when
he was preparing book on the old preach
ers and families of Virginia, he asked Mr..
Andrew Hunter, of Jefferson Co., Va, to
give him some anecdotes for the work. Mr..
Hunter said, "Well, Bishop, have only
one, and that is about yourself" "Let us
have it, then," said the prelate. Mr.. H.
then told the following:
"Many years ago, when this Valley of Vir-
ginia, was much wilder country than now,
you preached here, in Jefferson county. You
used no notes on that occasion. A certain
hunter, distinguished for his skill with the
rifle, and who had a supreme contempt for
man who required "a rest from which to
shoot, was in the congregation and listened
attentively to you. You wore your clerical
robes, and he was struck with the strange
dress, as he had not heard many Episcopal
preachers. After the sermon, some one
asked him how he liked the preacher. He's
right down good preacher, said the hun
ter; 'and, by the way, he's the only one of
them petticoat preachers that 1 ever heard
that could preach without rest -

More Stock Needed.

The monthly report of the Department Of
Agriculture for February shows that horses
have increased slightly in most of the West
ern States, but very little in the Middle and
Eastern, not enough to keep pace with the
increased population. The Atlantic sea-
bound States, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Min
nesota, Wisconsin, and the Pacific coast
States exhibit the largest increase. That
the numbers are not equal to the demand,
is shown by the general though small ad-
vance in prices. The increase of mules is
also slow in comparison with the rapid ag.
gregation of population, and the range of
prices appears to be higher than last year.
The returns of oxen and other cattle point
to positive decrease in New Jersey, Mary
land, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, Ken
lucky, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, the dimi-
mutton amounting to five per cent. in the
latter State In mich COWS reduction is
reported in Texas Ohio and Illinois, and in
some of the Southern States. A general
increase in the prices of cattle is reported.
The reduction in the number of sheep ap.
pears to be general, the exceptions being
Rhode Island, Tennessee, Missouri, Mime
sofa, Kansas, and the Pacific States. The
loss cannot be much less than ten per cent.
In some States it is placed at one hundred
or more. The prices of sheep have declined
slightly in certain sections and advanced in
others. In districts where merino stock mo-
nopolizes sheep walks, the decline is general,
and in some sections heavy. The returns
of swine corroborate those of last Fall,
showing in the comparative numbers of fat
tening hogs very decided reduction, amount
ing to fifteen per cent. in large portion of
the Ohio Valley. Prices are largely in
creased, in many States twenty-five or thirty
per cent. and not unfrequently fifty or sixty
per cent. An inspection of the tables will
show marked advance, the result not only
of a reduction in numbers, but of specu-
lation naturally caused by such state of
facts
