Desperate efforts are made in Salt Lake City
to keep up the waning faith in Mormonism.
The leaders, who find their power slipping
away from them, have brought on from Ohio
one Martin Harris, an old man of eighty-eight
years, who processes to have been witness
when Joe Smith received the Book of Mormon,
"to have seen the angel and to have handled
"thc golden plates" The Salt Lake Ne1rs is
jubilant over the arrival of this Octogenarian
witness, who has seen Git says) :" that which
"few in the flesh are favored to behold" and
whose testimony in favor of the Book of Nor

mons altogether; it is only when he is nearly
ninety years old that his faith in the Church
