A correspondent OF the Cincinnati
Commercial, in a description of Utah
and the Mormons, gives the following
particulars
Two-thirds of the polygamists do not and
cannot attend properly to their children.
Heber c. kimball had sixty-three sons, of
whom only forty-eight are now living. The
bishop of our ward. the Fourteenth, has
thirty children living and nearly twenty
dead. Joseph Smith had half a dozen spir-
itUal wives; but two sons survived him
both of his legal wife.
There are five men in this city who have,
together, seventy wives; they have, all told,
less than hundred and fifty children.
\ Mormon graveyard is the most melan-
chOly sight on earth. One bishop here has
seventeen children buried in one row, and
the longest grave is not over four feet! If
these men have but the common feelings of
humanity, how fearfully are they punished
tor the crime of polygamy. Brigh ms chill
dren are generally healthy, except that the
girls mostly have weak eyes, and two of them
are nearly blind; but they are well fed,
housed and clothed. But such is the excep-
ton, and could mention dozen men whose
houses are full of women, but their children
are in the grave.

A LADY KILLED BY HER LovER-A DOUBLE
FATAL DUEL.
From the Memphis Avalanche

From the Memphis Avalanche.
The steamer Richmond, which passed up
from New Orleans yesterday, learned at
Grand Gulf the particulars of one of those
tragedies OF passion that appear more like
romance than reality. In the country at
some distance from Grand Gulf reside two
respectable families, those of Cushing and
Andrews. Miss Andrews was lovely girl
of seventeen, well accomplished and of un-
usually fascinating manners. Mr.. Cushing's
son. youth Oftwenty, had been attached
to her from their early childhood and As he
grew Older his affection became an ardent,
absorbing passion A short time ago he
made formal offer OF his hand, when. to
his intense disappointment and mortifica-
ton his offer was firmly though courtcously
refused. He brooded over his i'll warded
passion, and became prey to jealousy, and
at length left the neighborhood, vowing
madly that he would come back and take
his revenge. On Sunday last he returned,
and, riding up to Mr.. Andrews house, he
begged to see Miss Andrews at the door,
without alighting. She came out, when he
suddenly produced pistol, fired, shooting
her through the body, and she fell on her
face and died without a struggle. The in
fatuated murderer rode franJically away,
but Miss Andrews brother, breathing fury
toward the murderer of his sister. sprang on
a horse and followed. He came up with
Gushing as the latter was crossing creek.
and fired at him. Cushing jumped from his
horse and took shelter in the bush. Andrews
not TO be at disadvantage, did the same =
"A parley ensued, and the two young men
agreed to fight according to the code--to
leave the cover, fire, advance and fire. and
again advance, Sfiring until one of them
should fall. At the first fire Cushing receiv- |
ed mortal wound in the lett shoulder, but
the men continued to near each other and !
fire until their revolvers were empty
When assistance arrived, Cushing lay dead |
with four bullets in his body. Andrews had |
received three shots in his breast. He was |
able TO tell how the fight had taken place, |
when he also expired.

BEDDING PoTAToEs.-A writer inthe

result of his experience in bedding po-
tatOes:
In bedding my potatoes, | remove
the earth of the size Iwant my bed, say
two inches. | then get dry fresh
manure from my stable and cover the
bed four inches in depth with the soil
l first removed: | then place the po-
tatoes as close as they can be placed
upon the bed. / then cover the pota-
toes two inches with good soil. Wet
the bed thoroughly with soap suds if
you have them if not, use water.
As soon as the sprouts begin to crack
the ground over the bed throw on
more dirt, say three inches, and be
sure to use such loamy soil that viii
not break.
When the sprouts are large enough
to draw and plant, in lieu of drawing
them mp, as is usual, take sharp knife
and cut the slips about three inches
below the surface, and you will be sur
prised to see how soon the bed will be
covered again with slips l can plant
more ground with one bushel bedded
in this way, than you can from two
bushels bedded in the usual way. Try
