Young cattle ought to have warm, dry
SUNNY shed and yard to lie in by day, and to
be put up in an inner, closed stable by night.
A very little grain or cut and soaked corn
fodder will keep them growing well, sleek
and healthy; and thus kept, they may be
wintered much cheaper than in bleak stock
yard, on uncut cornstalks.

Installation Of Governor SchnHer.
CoRINNE, April 20.-Governor Shaffer arrived
here at o'clock this morning. The people
were out in hundreds and escorted him from the
cars to the hotel, where he was welcomed In
behalf of the citizens by Mayor Munroe. The
Governor briefly replied to the remarks of
Mayor Munroe, stating that he was in Utah for
the purpose of enforcing the laws Of the United
States, and when he cannot do this he will re-
turn to his home. The Constitution and laws
must be respected and obeyed. This Territory
will not be made an exception.
Judges Hawley and Strickland, of the Supreme
Court and General Maxwell, Register of the
Land Ofice, followed the Governor, showing
that 1t is the intention Of the Government to
suppress polygamy and compel Utah to submit
to the authority of the republic; that the time
has now arrived, and this abomination, though
supported by remonstrances from the disloyal
and traitorous, will not stay the action Of CoA-
gress. .. .- .f
The city is illuminated, there are bon6res and
fireworks, and the people are parading ethe
streets, cheering for the first real Governor
Utah ever had. .f.t t.f e.. .. ..r.

upon lump in his side below his waist, and
there was the heart humping away as If moth
ing unusual was the matter. few more con-
tortioDs and the tricky organ passed across the
abdomen, and on the right side kept up its work
of throwing the blood through the system as
regularly as If in ITS natural position. More
eontortions, and 1t travelled back home, its
course being easily traced under the skin till 1t
passed under the ribs.
The man then commenced a sort of rotary
motion of the bowels, apparently turning them
over several times, when we felt q complete set
of ribs covering the abdomen, the regular set
being in their usual place. Turning the bowels
in the opposite direction, the false ribs disap-
peared. On being asked If his mother had any
more children like him, he replied that he had
brother over six feet high, who could reduce
his stature to something less than three feet.
We believe him readily after having witnessed
the above performances. Another curious
feature about him is that he cannot be choked.
He allows any one to grasp him by the throat,
and use his utmost strength to stop his breath
ing but in spite of all endeavors he continues
to talk as If nothing was wrong.

in that capacity it was his duty to purchase
ingots of the precious metals which were offered
for sale. The discovery Of his frauds was
accic entally made in consequence of his delay
in forwarding bulk of 1000 English sovereigns,

his failure to reappear at the bank, his till and

Die.
In consequence of the death of q majority of
the trustees, in whom was vested the fee simple
of the Tontine Building in this city, the Tontine
Committee met yesterday morning in the rooms
of the Panama Railroad Company, Wall street,
and elected new trustees. Under the bylaws of
the association the remaining trustees of the
board then transferred their right and authority
to thenewly elected. The new Board of Trustees
is represented by General John Watts de Pegs
ter, William T. Lawrence, James Renwick,
Richard King, and John Dewint Hook.
The Tontine Association was founded in 1894,
by q number of wealthy citizens of that period.
The shares originally numbered two hundred
and three, and were apportioned among one
hundred and fifty persons. Each holder of
shares had the right to nominate any life he
chose, to whom the shares were to revert when
the contingency occurred, as stipulated in the
original agreement, of the reduction by death of
the surviving nominees to seven persons. The
property owned by the association is now valued
at upwards of $300,000. The surviving nomi-
nees, embracing some of New York's proudest
names, are as follows:-Mrs. Duncan Campbell,
Miss Mary Ray, William Bayard, Robert Benson,
John P. Dewint, Murray Hoffman, Governor
Kemble, and Horatio Gates Stevens. On the
death of any one of this number, the entire pro-
perty falls to the seven survivors, not as joint
heirs, but as heirs in commen.-M. Y. Sun today.

Combined Effort to Escape from Prison.

WHEELING, w. Va, April 21.-Forty or fifty
of the convicts confined in the penitentiary at
Moundsyille, Marshall county entered into
conspiracy to escape and on Tuesday last over
came two of the guard, taking the key of the
cells, and after stripping the guards attired two
of their number in their clothes, who were put
on guard to disarln suspicion. In this manner
the relief was deceived and captured, and the
plot seemed to be working to their entire salts
faction, when at $50 z. NJ. the guard who
should have reported at the gate failed Ito
appear. Suspicion was thus aroused. The
guard and citizens were alarmed collected at
the gate, and marched into the hall where the
insurgents were, and on refusing to cease resis-
tance they were fred on and a convict named
Charles Moore seriously wounded. The remain
der surrendered at discretion.
Attempted Suicide.
A young lady of this city named McCulloch
attempted suicide yesterday by jumping in the
river, but was rescued in a senseless condition.
Boiler Explosion.
A steam mill at Milford, on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, exploded few days since,
demolishing the mill and seriously wounding
three men.

IA Whole Chapter Tor theisensat1on Papers,
The Wilmington Commercial says
A short time since some boys broke into an
old desk in o granary ut Cannon's ferry, six
miles from Seaford, and discovered secret
drawer containing pocket-book in which were
seven hundred and sixty-nine dollars. 1t was
distributed among the boys, deeming it valueless
one small boy who first detected the drawer
getting over four hundred dollars of 1t. The
desk and granary were once the property of
Jacob Cannon, man of much wealth, formerly
a resident in that place. His heirs, the children
of Jacob Nicholson, Esq, of Baltimore, lately
deceased, had possession of the granary. They
have taken means to recover the money, which
is in notes of one hundred dollar bills, ffties,
tens, ETC., on the Farmers and Planters Banks
of baltimore, and bank In Philadelphia. Save
raj hundred, we hear, have been recovered,
though 1t seems improbable that all will find the
rightful owners, since it is ascertained to be
valuable, 1t seems the novels are not all
fiction, after all. The money is nearly thirty
years old.

FINANCE AND COMMERCE..
EVENING TELEGRAPH OFFIoE,l
nhuradav An,-il 0t 1874


The ease which has characterized our money
market for so many weeks continues. The
usual sources are supplied much in excess of
wants, and rates tend downward. There is
good demand for frst-class commercial paper,
which is scarce, though slowly increasing, and
the market is decidedly in favor of borrowers.
COZ per cent. Is the range, and no advance is
time to run. The main point looked to seems to
be employment for balances in safe hands at
current rates. Call loans are rather more active
to-day, but quite easy at 5GO515 per cent. ON
Governments, or any good stock collaterals.
Gold declined during the morning from 113%
at the opening sales to 1l3; sales being made
at 1875 about noon. The tendency from this
point is slightly upward.
Government bonds seem to have broken loose
frsm the influence of gold, as the entire series
has made material advance on closing quota
tions yesterday.
There was a serious falling off in the business
at the Stock Board to-day, and prices were not
so strong. In State loans no sales were recorded.

FOREIGN NOTES.
Interes,in0 Discoxerx.

An interesting historical and archaeological
discovery has Just been made in Paris. Near the
Pantheon, on the high ground known as the
Montague Sainte Genevieve, a Roman amphi-
theatre has been partly brought to light by the
excavation of the ground under which it has for
centuries been buried. On the side which has
been laid bare scarcely any of the stone seats
remain, bat the supporting walls are in excel
lent preservation. Two Of the recesses in which
the wild beasts were kept are also to be seen.
The Steele is of opinion that at any cost this
fragment of antiquity should be preserved; and
il points out that the arena when entirely cleared
might be advantageously made use of for public
meetings.

Court of Quarter Sessi0ns-ytdges Allison, Ludloic
Pefrce, and PaDsOn.
This morning the argument of the Sheppard
Gibbons case, involving the title to the office of
District Attorney, was resumed. Mr.. Mann
who had not concluded his remarks at the ad-
journment yesterday, took up the paper-book
where he had left off, and started again over the
mass of bewildering testimony taken last sum-
mer, and the figures that were used in the cal
culations showing the manner In which Judge
Brewster obtained the results announced by him
in October. Having done this, he said he would
not argue the matter but deemed 1t best to leave
it entirely with the court. However, he did not
believe fair purgation would materially affect
the Judgment as IL now stands.

The Spring Freshst.

ALBANY, April 21.-At Schenectady the food
has subsidized some fifteen feet. The Mohawk
Bridge was but slightly injured. The soil on the
dyke was washed off to the depth of about six
inches. The water was two feet deep on the
floor of Degraff's Hotel. At the north end of
the bridge and the channel to depth of two or
three feet and several feet wide was washed out
of the dyke. Between the hotel and the bridge
ground was washed away several feet deep
within few feet of Colonel Tails residence,
near the bridge. The injury to the canal is
considerable. The water rushed into the head
of seven mile level and filled the canal. 1t ran
back into the river at this end of the level.
Superintendent Van Vranken was ON the ground
and assisted matters as much as possible.
At the aqueduct the feeder was carried away,
and the water rushed down the canal Doing
much damage.
Advices from Rochester state that the season
is very unfaVorabe to the opening of the canals.
At an early date the low spots on the canals,
where there is No way for drainage, filled with
water, which will scarcely disappear in q month
under favorable weather The water is high in
most of the streams, and very seriously inter-
fere with the work of repairs, and little or no
thing can be done in April.
The impression appears to be that the canal
Will open bOmeWuerc ABOUT the lUtn or 10Th OF
May. The freshet in Schoharie valley was very
severe, doing much damage. Barns, outhouses,
fences, etc., have been swept away, a number of
cattle have been drowned, and people have been
forced out of their houses to high ground. At
this city the freshet is again at a stand. 1t is
raining to-day, and there are indications of
further rise of water. All business along the
docks is suspended, and also along great part
of Broadway.
The Mcfarland Trial.
New YORK, April 21.-Much argument arose
this morning from the fact of the illness of Re-
corder Hackett, and many were the surmises as
to whether the Court would sit or not. When,
however, the jury arrived, and, after them, the
counsel, with the exception of Mr.. Graham, had
made their appearance, the general opinion was
that the case would be proceeded with. One of
little Percy McFarland's friends told him there
would be no court, at which the little fellow
was very much disappointed. At IL o'clock
Judge Bedford arrived, and very soon after Mr..
Graham, whereupOn q consultation was had
between counsel, and it was concluded to ad-
journ until Monday morning, in consequence of
the illness of the Recorder. Judge Bedford
then ordered Captain McCloskey to adjourn the
| court.
