JOURNALISM IN THE WESTON yester-
day morning, about 8 O'Clock, the quiet
of our little city was somewhat disturbed
by the cry of fight, fight, " and the gen
eral rush Of our citizens in the direction
of Baum & Bros store, where the excite
ment was hottest, Arriving upon the
ground VIC learned that the row was be
tween Capt. Dan. Webster, editor of the
Echo, and Ben. Collier; the parties were
separated, however, before any serious
damage had been done.
1t seems that Collier had taken offence
to little squib that appeared in the Echo
this week, wherein the editor facetiously
give the rumor Of the establishment of a
new paper in our town soon, upon the
editorial staff Of which Golfers name
WAS associated.
The parties were arraigned before the
Mayor and as we 60 to press, (Friday j
are undergoing an examination.--Fay'

Our Schools.

The public schools of Van Buren, closed for
vacation on Friday last. The examinations
of all the schools proved very satisfactory,
and reflects great credit on the Teachers.
Thursday night the Grammar and Higher
Grades gave an Exhibition, to large and ap-
preciative audience, notwithstanding the very
disgreeable and rainy night Every thing
passed off exceedingly well and the scholars
all done themselves great credit We were
not able to be present and expected until just
as we go to press, a full report ofthe exercises
from an another source.
Friday night the colored school gave an ex-
hibiton, and although not present, We learn
acted their parts well, and spoke well for the
perseverance oftheiT teacher.

der these circumstances little extreme
diplomacy was adjudgcd necessary, and
Mrs. Gibbons, to compel marriage, de
clared that her household work was too
onerous, and finally affected to be griev-
ously ill. Nehi Gibbons, unable to resist
this description Of appeal, obeyed the
desire of his wife, Mary Ann, but the
woman he married was not Susan He
was too blind to guess the person intend
ed, and lie married an entirely different
woman.
Grave complications ensued upon this
precipitate action Of Nehi Gibbons. The
peace of his family was disturbed, and
none the less because, after the usual
period, the second Mrs Gibbons had a
baby. Mary Ann, redoubling her efforts,
met with no other success than that Mr..
Gibbons took third wife, and this time,
also, it failed to be Susan. The third eff.
fort was more directly made, and with
less diplomacy, Mrs. Gibbons the first,
suggesting expressly that her choice was
her bosom friend and the power of can
dor was never so well attestcd as on this
occasion. for Mr. Gibbons answered:
"lIad thought Susan would have ac-
cepted me, my dear Mary Ann, l should
have made her my wife before proposed
to youw
Thus, piety and patience were crowned,
friendship was rewarded, and Susan and
Mary Ann, being lovely in life, in we'd.
lock were not divided.

A Story from Utah.

George Alfred Townsend writes this
from Salt Lake City to the Chicago 7ri-
6une.
A Mormon, whom we will call Brother
Nehi Gibbons, took a wife at the bloom
ing age of twenty-five. He was pious
and Industrious, and seemed to be per-
fectly satisfied with his bride, whose
name was unfortunate for heroine, be-
ing plain Mary Ann She was the best
of wives, and she sang in the choir. bore
Nchi child and helped to cultivate his
vine and fig tree. Their apricots and
pear trees grew and nourished, their cat
tic and sheep increased, and nothing
seemed wanting in this comfortable estab-
lishment, which was the envy of every
youthful saint
Still, there was skeleton in the closet
Mary Ann had secret and passion.
She wanted Nehi to take second wife
This was not only because he was a
good and true man, and devoted and able
bodied, but because she had set her mind
upon the other wife he was TO take. Ma
ry Ann wanted to provide for her bosom
friend, Susan, who was in every way de-
serving of Nehi's affection, and who loved
Nehi as purely and as really as Mary
Ann herself! They had conferred to
gether about it. Mary Ann, who could
not be happy where Susan was not--even
at Nehi's side-had broken the subject to
Susan, and her clearest suspicious were
confirmed by the secret disclosure that
both the ladies loved the same saint Far
from feeling indignant at this frank and
forward confidence. Nehi's wife received
it with delight She gave her maiden
friend every assurance that their mutual
choice was worthy of their united ambi
ton, and they set to work to compel
Nehi to accept another Mrs Gibbons.
1t being unseemly for Susan to do
more than put herself rs frequently as
possible in Mr.. Gibbons way, the plot
ripened slowly, and, on comforting with
one of the bishops Of the church, he rec
commended both ladies to make the con-
summation subject Of prayer. They
lifted up their hearts together that 1t
might be revealed to Nehi what good gifts
he was neglecting, but Nehi hardened his
heart and refused to extend his table
cloth. He was as yet ignorant OF the
new helpmate intended for him, but, on
the suggestion of Mrs. Gibbons that:he
was not clarifying his manhood and his
family. he said that a pair was enough
and that he had no wish to marry. Tn

LE Gen. Thomas Francis Meagher,
an Irishman Of uncommon ability, much
beloved by his nationality, died in the
service of his adopted country. A fine
lad, his only son, was pressed upon Gen.
Grant for an appointment to West Point
by representative of the family, backed
up by the Irish American population Of
the country, without distinction of party.
The application was coldly rejected but
one Of Brigham Young's army of boys
was spontaneously rendered a cadetship.
