With regard to candidates at the Dis
trict Convention. it is natural that VT
prefer Belmont county man. Our del
egate goes to the Convention uninstruct-
ed. We regard Col. Poorman and Capt.
Danford both good men for the position,
and both have warm friends here. AL
though our delegate is Danford man,
yet if the vote was closely polled, Col.
Poornan would have the majority,
whatever be the private views of our
delegate; We are satisfied that in the
Convention he will vote for the most
available man. Mr.. Welsh and Mr.
Binghan's friends are scattering here,
and the Democracy say that if we elect
they would prefer Capt. Danford or Mr..
Welsh, to either Col. Poorman or Mr.
Bingham. AS we shall most assuredly
elect our man, if it is Democratic conso-
lation We are working for, we would do
well to follow their dictation.

A CURIOUS AFFAIR.-The New Or
leans Picayune relates that a little
more than a year ago, a man in that
city suddenly left home, but returned
a few months later with no explana-
tiOn for his absence. He resumed his
family relations, and his wife, glad of
his return, forbore any reproaches con
corning his long and unaccountable
absence. But few weeks after his
return another actor appeared on the
scene-a young and beautiful woman
who claimed to be his wife. The man
declared the woman was mistaken,
and that he never saw her before.
He maintained his declaration so
earnestly that everybody believed
him, and the lady was regarded as an
imposter. She went away, but has
come back again, armed with a mar
riage certificate and proof Of her hus-
bands identity. The explanation is
said to be that the man, who now ad-
mits the woman's claim, went away
while suffering from temporary insan-
lty. During the hallucination he
wooed and won his second wife, but
when his reason returned, came back
to his lawful love and first wife. This
is the story as told by his family
Singular as it may appear, both wiye;
appear to be satisfied with the ex
PLANTATION, and all parties are making
arrangements to 90 to Utah.

Mohanmed,

Mohammed was little above the
medium stature, strongly but sparely
built, with broad shoulders and
slight stoop; his hair was black, and in
his prime clusterep over his ears
his beard and mustache of the same
colhr, the latter luxuriant, reaching
halfway down his chest; his forehead
large, with prominent vein, which
swelled when angry; his complexion
fair, eyes large, black, piercing, blood
shot, and restless; his teeth, white and
well-formed, stood apart; his walk so
rapid that others needed to run to
keep pace with him; and his gait like
that of a man striding down hill.
He was simple in all his apparel;
never wore silk but once, and then
threw it aside in disgust, saying it was
no fit dress for a man. His common
attire was cotton, striped with white
and red. Like all Arabs, he had no
taste for comfort. A low hut of burnt
thing, with a palm-tree roof would
have been preferred to a palace.
Still, he was in some things of ex-
tremely delicate and sensitive taste,
as in the use of perfumes, and diStaste
for unpleasant odorS.
At Medina he once sent back a
dish of mutton favored with onions,
saying it was not agreeable to his
angel. He never travelled without
tooth-pickS, and anthony for his eyes.
He listened well in conversation, and
in shaking hands was never the first
to withdraw his own.
He was not, like Arabs in general,
passionately fond Of sports and games,
and in all things most unlike the he
roic ideal of Arabic character.
He was born at the city of Mecca,
A. d. 81, from which place he fed to
Medina. July 16, 622. This flight
gave rise to the epoch in chronology
called the Hegira, which in Arabic de-
notes to flee, or quit ones country or
friends.
The creed of Mohammed was plan
ned in a cave near Mecca. A Per-
sian JEW well ver8ed in history and
the laws, and two Christians, we're
his assistants. One Of the latter was
of the Jacobite, ana the other of the
HISTORIAN sect. With this help he
framed the Koran, which he pretend
ed to receive from the angel Gabriel,
written IN the koreish Arabic, which
he declared was the language of Par
adise. In this language there are
1000 terms for sword, 500 for lion,
200 for serpent, and 50 for honey
1t is supposed to be written about
the year 61O, and its object was to
unite Jews and Christians, with the
different professions OF idolatry, in the
worship of one God, under certain
laws and ceremonies, exacting obedi,.
ence to Mahomet as Prophet. The
style Of the volume is fluent, concise,
and beautiful, and where the attri-
| butes of God are described, it is sub
lime and magnificent. 1t admits the
divine mission OF both Moses and
Christ. The leading article Of faith
is compounded ofan eternal truth and
a necessary fiction, namely: that there
is only one God, and Mahomet is his
apostle. He died in 63l, of the eff
fects of slow poison, given to him
by a Jew, three years before, in a
piece of mutton, in order to discover
whether he was a true prophet, and
immortal, as he declared himself to
be. Millions have visited his shrine
since that day, from every quarter of
the globe.

A MOTHER AND Two CHILDREN
FROZEN TO DEATH.-A man named
Dowd, with mis- family, lately took a
homestead on Vermillion river, four
miles from Vermillion City, in Dacotah
Territory. During a snow storm on
the 9th ult. the shanty in which the
settler and his family lived was so
open as to expose its occupants to the
fury of the storm, and they decided to
seek shelter with a neighbor living
about forty rods distant. Mr.. Dowd,
with child six years old in his arms,
took the lead, while his wife, with two
other children, aged IA and s years,
followed. On the way Mr.. Dowd
got separated from his wife, and did
not discover the fact till he reached
the neighbours. Search was immedi-
ately made for her and the two child
rem, but the binding storm prevented
their being found and rescued, al
though every effort was made. The
next morning the frozen bodies of the
mother and her two children were
found about seventy-fve rods from
the house.

PERUVIAN SYRUP.-This valuable
medicine has been silently making its
way into public favor by the numer-
Gus remarkable cures it bas perform
ed. Its singular efficacy is owing to
the protoxide of iron which in this
preparation remains unchanged, and
is the only form in which this vital
element of healthy blood can be sup
piled.
1t is now generally admitted by
honest physicians, that when once the
Consumption is fairly fastened upon
the lungs, no human power can save
the patient from death. They also
say that about fifty per cent. of those
who die from this disease can trace
the cause to a neglected cough or cold
which might have been cured by a
small bottle of Liquid Opodeldoc, OF
what is the same thing, Johnson's An
