Bereaved. but Consoled.

Saratoga gossiptells this story; WAS
it not a good thing" says one, "thatshe
got all his money! They were en-.
gagged, and were to have been married
in October. They were to have a grand
wedding, but she was such a coquette
that he was afraid Of losing her, and 80
he persuaded her to be married secretly
and promised not to claim her until the
day fixed for the wedding arrived. So
they were married, and here a short
time ago he fell overheard from a river
steamer. He was sick, and had been
asking the captain or somebody for
medicine, and went off and was never
seen again. His hat and coat were
found. When it was said that he had
been drowned, everybody was saying,
"Oh, Just to think how that poor girls
prospects are blighted;" but now it
turns out that shesa rich young widow,
and SO it's all right. ....

A Convention Scene.

The following scene in the New
York Radical State Convention last
week, at Syracuse, is from the pen OF a
reporter who was present:
"Chairs and table-legs were freely
used by the defenders Of the citadel,
and fists and canes by the attacking
party. At last one of the latter drew
a pistol but before he could use it he
was felled to the floor by blow from
the back of one Of the iron seats, laying
his cheek open and putting him hors
de combat.
"There were cries OF Put down those
pistols Don't shoot Don't shoot,
Kill the son of "a Not a damned
one Of you will get in You'll all get in,
etc. CALCULATIONS more expressive
than elegant were INDUCED in until the
place seemed worse than Bedlam.'

Best Horses for Farm Use.

The hardest work on the farm for
horses is breaking up sod, which GER
tainly is not one-eightb Of the whole
work. Light horses, weighing 100 or
1900 are the best for most of the other
work; they are best on the road, and
before the harrow, (not before the NOW
er and reaper we Think At cross
blowing and narrowing a coach horse
will do one fourth more than heavy
draft horse. Besides it costs much
more to keep the heavy horse, and on
sandy or wet soil, he sinks so much as
to worry him. For all uses which the
farmer has for horses, the medium
sized or coach horses are the best.

Mr.. HENRY WARD BEECHER delights
in sensation OF some kind, and he
rarely fails, when he thinks the interest
in himself IS tagging somewhat, to do
something or say something to stir up
his congregation. On Friday evening
last in lecture he limited that he felt
as if he were drawing to close in his
work. This prophetic intimation OF
the parson Of Plymouth Church has
had the result, which he probably in
tended, namely: A wall from his
hearers at the imminent atfliction in
store for them.

Utah.

Mr.. Hooper, the Delegate in Congress
from Utah, is in Washington upon sup
posed mission to the Government from the
threatened polygamists. He frankly states
that polygamy will die of itself without
anv interference He states that not a
young man or woman in Utah is in favor
of polygamy; the second generation will
have none Of it. But the MOrEOns, who
now number l25, 900 persons, are extrcm-
civ solicitious upon another point. All
the children born in the Territory. and
many of them Of manageable age, are de-
cendants ofmothers who were po!ygamists.
These sons and daughters, who are to be
the future men and women of the Terrific
nv, are opposed to any law or proceeding
which is to stamp them as illegitinat.
They ask that Utah be admitted as State.
with constitutional provision prohibit
ing polygamous relations, and legitimate,
ing all the births in the Territory. This
wholesale !egitimatizing has been recently
enacted in the Southern States, where the
marriage relation, was extensively ignored,
if not prohibited among the colored peo-
pie. This meas,nr, Mr.. Hooper states,
embodies the sentiments and wishes Of all
the rising generation of Utah, and he sng
gests that this disposition Of the question f
.polygamy will be more effectual in its sup
preston than an effort to convict an entire
people. and to degrade the very popula
ton who want voluntarily to get rid OF
the institution. So says Hooper.

Notes from Hazel Green.

DEAR EDITOR Time and Providence
permitting have taken up the pen to re.
assure the friends in your village of my
continued interest in their welfare. After
three years residence among your peo-
pie and a three years experience of their
kindness and courtesy, IS it to be wonder
ed at if my thoughts go back to Dodge
vile, and my prayers go up for Dodgevile.
Benjamin Franklin tells us that three
moves is as bad as a fire. This is very far
from being true in my case. There was
no breakage or even marring of furniture,
worth the mention. The weather and
roads were all that could be desired. Kind
greetings awaited us at our destination,
and ready hands proffered their services
The pars onage makes US very pleasant
home, and is located on a corner lOt in the
very center of business. Our house of
worship is neat and commodious, ha7ing
been recently rejuvenatcd. The school
house is large brick building, judiciously
located with ample play ground.
Hazel Green is quite pleasant village,
surrounded with very beautiful and fer
tile country. The prairies. stretching away
on one hand to Dubuque, on another to
| Galena, and on another to Plattevilie, are
dotted with large farm-houses and other
evidences of plenty. Just now our PEG
| pie are railroady excited. The talk is that
| Galena will! throw iron bands to Mus coda
| through our village. Another road is
being surveyed through here from the riv-
er to Milwaukee.
Yours truly, WV. STuRGEs.
