st. Thomas Abandoned.

Since it is decided that st. Thomas
is in the State of Nevada, the Nor
mons and some others resident there
have mostly abandoned the place.
We have letter before us from W.
H. Hardy, Esq, dated Hardyville,
Feb. q, in which he says:
now learn that all but two or three
have left, and moved into Utah B.
Paddock has moved to ST. George. |
learn that 0. d. Gass will contest the
right of Nevada 70 collect back taxes.
l also learn that the Mormtn as have
commenced settlement in Arizona
on the Colorado river, opposite and
below the mouth of the Little Colora-
do. Two forts have been built on
each side of the trails, that the Nava-
joes and other Indians cross with stolen
stock. The Mormon who gives me
this news reports fine country, and
valleys large enough to support sew
eral hundred families. This move
Will ASSIST IN Quelllng the Indians.
From the above, it would appear
that those people have no love for the
blessings Of a State government, and
Mr.. Hardy gets the report that the
heavy taxes imposed ON those people
by Nevada, induced their removal

SENSIBLE AT LAST.-A provision
has been incorporated into the Indian
appropriation bill passed by Congress
a few weeks ago, that hereafter no In
dian nation or tribe within the United
States shall be acknowledged or re-
cognized as All independent nation,
tribe, or power with which the United
States can contract by treaty, but that
nothing in that provision shall invai-
date Or impair the obligations of any
treaty heretofore lawfully made or
ratified with any such Indian nation
or tribe. This doctrine should have
been Migrated in our laws relating to
the Indians, years ago-in fact should
always have been. We believe Sena-
tor Stewart, of Nevada, was the first
prominent public man to insist upon
the adjustment of the farce of treaties
with the lazy, trifing, savage and UNI
reliable Indian.

OUR Ralston correspondent init
mates that unless capital comes into
the mines in the spring it will go hard
with the present population, nearly
all being out of money and provisions,
and with no reasonable prospect OF
procuring another start. To be sure
all have plenty of eject" and some of
the lodes have been developed to-. a
considerable extent, and large quaiti-
ties of ore ready to be taken out, but
as there is no machinery on the ground
to extract the metal it does them no
practical good. All are waiting with
the greatest anxiety for some one of
the numerous mills that were promised
on the ground this spring, when STIR
ring times are hoped for New Mex

LAST WEEK, we published extracts
from prospectuses Of Chicago adven-
turers, and rather broadly intimated
that the authors were bilks. "Col. S.
B. Farnham" charged the rascality
ON one ''R. NJ. Cole, and we so stated.
A letter is now on our table written
by said Cole in which he says:
In November last, l met one Col.
S. B. Farnham in Chicago, and joined
him i'll an enterprise to take a cnloniz-
ing and mining company into Arizona.
The enterprise was a good one, and
but for the dishonesty of Col. F., and
our Treasurer, would have proven a
success. They robbed the men of a
few thousand dollars and left.
If Col. F. got anything like an
equal divide with the Treasurer, and
Cole tells the truth, the "Col." is act
ing very badly in this matter. We
oplne that the scheme was intended to
''raise" 100000 out of the men, and
that owing to the rascality of all the
projectors of the "enterprise", it was
broken up before fully consummated,
i. e. before they secured 500, 900, and
therefore these examinations and re-
examinations Of the leading members
of the "outfit' we say ON the
frontier. From quite credible reports
of Col. Farnham years agone, we are
inclined to think he's not as pure as
he represents himself, and should not
be surprised to learn that Cole over
estimates his own integrity.

THE POISONING MANIA-The ;StorY of m,
OLD Nan anho Married Young Wife.-Tbe
Columbus (Vhio) Statesman is authority for
the following story
"About eight years ago Peter Potfennar.
ger, resident in Madison county, Ohio. aged
eighty years, possessed of q large property.
estimated at SioO, 900, married Young wo-
MIN of attractive appearance. Four wears
afterwards he died, leaving nearly all his
estate to his widow, and the residue to her
in trust for the use of two children, who
had been b7rn during the union. The
widow soon married young man who was
represented as reporter on New York
paper, converted her property into mo-
ney, and removed to New York. Here
her husband engaged in business as
a banker. Two months ago the neigh
bors of old Mr. Poffenbarger, who profess
to have always suspected foul play in the
manner of his taking of, caused the body
to be exhumed, and the yiscera forwarded
to Columbus, Ohio, for analysis. The Sc
cond husband, according to the Statesman,
appeared on the scene and attempted to
stop this operation by threats of legal pro-
cecdings. The analysis was, however. pro-
ceeded with, and on Friday last DIR. II. G..
Worm!ey. of Columbus, who had conduct
ed it, made report to the legal authori-
ties of Madison county, to the effect that
he had found "large quantities of arsenic
in the stomach, and traces OF the same in
the liver" Upon this report requisition
was procured from the Governor of Ohio
for the arrest or the former Mrs. Poffen-

two or three days in dispatching an officer

THE CAUSE OF EARTHQUAKEs.-The re-
Gently reported earthquakes give to the
theories of Prof. Fred. MOhr, of the UNI
yersity of Bonn, published in 1865, re-
newed interest. Unable to receive the
popular theory that the earth was once
melted mass, because the silicates found In
many of the olden rocks, If once melted,
possess certain chemical and physical prop
critics which they never after lose, anu
which do not distinguish them in nature
in their crystalline form, he supposes that
the interior of the earth is similar
to its surface, except that it is more
thoroughly saturated with water. The
mountains, he saws, are continually grow
ing from beneath, the inorganic matter in
the water slowly crystalizing and pushing
the range upward. Sometimes, according
to Professor Mohr, the water dissolyes
away the earth, making cave miles, per-
haps, in extent; the eroof of this not being
strong enough to upbold'the mass OF earth
above gives away, and this causes one. OF
those great convulsi0ns which we call
earthquakes. The friction caused by this
falling produces heat enough to melt tho
rocks; and convert the water into steam,
and this accounts Cor the volcanic phenom-
eDa which generally attend earthquakes.
The Professor thinks that his theory IS sus-
tanned by the fact that earthquakes move
in concentric and ever-increaslng circles,
and also because the water OF the sea on
sueh occasions has been seen to recede,
flowing toward the centre Of the conyul-
sion and then return, oyerfioWing the high

who was far behind. Going down the t1ack-

was difficult to decide after moment
which had the best OF it. AS they rounded

INVITATIONS TO WITNESS A SUICrDE.-A
new phase of the suicide mania was brought
to light Yesterday. The editors of MORN
ing paper received polite note from a lady
of respectability Uhe full name being given),
announcing that she would at 8 O'Clock last
evening proceed TO take her own life blythe
most available means, aud the pleasure of a
reporters company was respectfully solicit
ed to witness the ceremony. Punctually at
the appointed hour the reporter and several
other invited guests presented themselves
at the residence designated IN the letter,
but owing to the inclemeney of the weather,
the interference of friends, or some other
unforeseen circumstances, the exhibition
was indefinitely postponed. The letter,
however, was certainly written in good
faith, and tbe purpose of the writer came
very near being carried out. Of course she
was deraneed. -
