Prospect at the West.

The Westminster gentleman who is
travelling in the Western States, an ex-
tract from whose letter we published a
few weeks since, now writes US from
Neenah, Wis, as to political prospects
in the Western States. Since his last he
has travelled in the States of Illinois, Iowa,
Minnesota and Wisconsin. He finds the
enthusiasm entirely with the republicans
and for Grant. He says:
In Minnesota the Greeley element
has been mere conspicuous than in any
other portion of the West but of late
there has been decided reaction there
and large numbers who at first were dis
posed to 60 for Greeley, upon a second,
sober thought have decided to vote
Grant. In at least one Congressional
district the Greeley men and the demo-
Gratis we're more bitter toward each other
than they were towards the Grant men,
and were determined to fight each other
to the bitter end. Men who are we'll
posted, say that Minnesota is sure for
Grant by a larger majority than ever be-
fore, and the belief generally prevails
that the entire West will go for Grant in
November"

RANDoLPH.-The Normal school To-
Gated here is fast taking the precedence
of others of the same grade in the State.
Its pupils, $50 in number, are, in the
main, those who have thus far made
teaching a profession, and, it is to be
hoped, intend to make the remainder of
a well prepared life useful in that work.
This school never was more prosperous.
The principal, E. Conant, as thorough
instructor and firm but cheerful disci-
plinarian has but few equals. He is also
very fortunate in the selection of corps
of assistants. Miss Tarbell and Miss
Arnold hsve well earned reputation,
which they can sustain in any position.
The third assistant Miss Guernsey, late
of the N. FL. Normal, we believe to be a
thorough and practical teacher. The
two courses taught here, when com plet-
ed, give a young man such fit that he
can the scientific department of any New
England college.

their children before sending elsewhere

Terrible Murder.
COLUMBUS, O., Sept. II.

The particulars of this terrible murder
committed Just west Of this city, this
morning, are as follows Robert Dun
lop, who was employed on the farm Of
w. b. Hawkes., man of dissolute hab-
its and brutal passions, when drunk, has
for some time past suspected his wife of
infdelity and threatened to kill james
Carpenter, a young man of excellent
habits, and who is acting superintendent
of Hawkes. farm. This morning, Dun
lop's wife saw Dunlop come out of the
house with double-barreled shot gun,
and fearing mischief begged him not to
hurt her. Dunlop went to the corn crib
where Carpenter was at work, and a mo-
ment afterwards she heard the report of
gun and a scream. Dunlop returned
to where his wife was standing and fired
the other barrel of the gun at her, just
grazing her back and setting her clothes
on fire.
He then beat her over the head, break
ing the gun stock to splinters, and made
his escape. On going to the corn crib
soon after, Carpenter was found dead,
his face buried in his hat, which was
full of blood. The wound in his left
breast. where the contents of the gun
entered, was CHASTITY, and about three
inches long. Two shots passed through
the heart, and must have killed him in
stantly. Carpenters connections are
prominent citizens, and his habits were
such as to make it very improbable that
Dunlop's supposition as to his intimacy
with his wife we're correct. Mrs. Dun
lop, although very seriously injured,
will recover.

The Geneva Arbitration.

AWARD OF SIS, 100000 TO THE U. s.
The verdict of the Geneva Arbitration
was promulgated last Saturday, and the
result is an award of 15,500,000. Most
of this is for damages by the Alabama,
but portion is for the Florida and 9th
er rebel war ships. The verdict recites
the facts and very plainly states that
England failed to perform her obliga-
tions as a neutral power. The arbitra-

THF DAY BEFORE AND THE DAY AZ
TERN its issue of Monday last the
Springfield Republican remarked that " it
passes the comprehension of the average
party organ to see how the Republican,
advocating Mr.. Greeley for President,
can yet propose to support, nnder the
probable contingency of the State can
vass, Mr.. Washburn for Governor of
Massachusetts. 1t then rambled away
to prove all sorts of things and to show
how infinitely superior were the views of
Springfield politician to those of any
body else. The day following Tuesday
il said
" AS there is no possibility of electing
the candidates to be nominated at Wor.
cester tomorrow, it is not very import
ant to discuss the fitness of the men
above named, and whoever may be as
ISOLATED with them on the ticket for the
several positions in the State govern
ment."
On Thursday the 18th it remarks:
Whether elected or not, his candida
dacy will give great aid to the Liberal
cause throughout the country : if elected,
as he may be, he can accept and hold the
governorship until such time as his state
of health, or the call of new national
administration, may withdraw him from
it."
Here's precious go ! On Monday, the
Springfield man proposed to support
Governor Washburn, on Tuesday, ne
says there is no prospect of electing the
candidate of the Worcester Dolly Var
den Convention, and on Thursday he
thinks Charles Sumner may be elected.
This reminds us of a postal agent years
ago who was told that there would be a
change of administration and that the
Wings would come into power and turn
bin out. I'D like to see an admins
tration change quicker than can change
my politics" was his reply. We should
like to see newspaper which can have
more opinions in three days than the
Republican.-Bost0n Journal, 13A.

CUPID's AMBUsCADEs.-The sly arch

he delivers his heart-shafts from any am
bush with more effect than when he arms
them from the braids and folds and ring
lets of a superb head of hair. Ladies
who have not been favored by Nature
with this browning charm of woman

the volume of their hair and impart a

State Fair.

The State Fair at St. Johnsbury last
week is reported not to have proved
success financially, though very good as
an exhibition in most departments, par
ticularly in stock. The south end of the
State had but few representations, Dan
iel Davis and son, of Windsor, and j.
@. Davis, of Brattlecoro, receiving pre-
miums, the last, on cattle, and the first
named for yearling stock horse, and G.
F. Davis, of Ascutneyville, for four
years old stock horse.
Sheep were largely represented, but
the premium list shows none from this
county. Windsor, Orange, Addison
anc Caledonia counties had large repre-
sensations.
There were good exhibitions of the
fruits, sugar, honey and Vegetables, &C.,
and the awards as usual were gener-
ally to those near the locality of the fair,
as those further off will not take the troub-
lie to exhibit. The same is also true of
a large portion of the contents of Me-
chanics' Hall.
The racing premiums were quite an
attraction this year, and we copy as fol-
lows.

Mountain Meadow Massacre.
MoRMoNs THE AUTHORS OF TT.

MoRMoNS THE AUTHORS OF TT.
Philip Clingman Smith, who at the
time of the Mountain Meadow massacre
was Mormon bishop of Cedar City, has
made an affidavit at Salt Lake City,
showing that the atroeious deed was the
act of the Mormon authorities. 1t will
be remembered that large company of
emigrants on their way to California
were all killed with the exception of the
young children. When the massacre
was discovered the Mormons set ahoat
the story that they had persisted by the
Indians, but from time to time, circum-
stantial evidence has appeared, indicat-
ing that they we're murdered in cold
blood by Mormons in revenge for previ-
Gus outrages upon the latter perpetrated
in Illinois and Missouri. The affidavit
states that the Mormon militia attacked
the emigrants, and after fight of sew
eral days without result, sent in a flag
of truce offering them protection if they
would lay down their arms. These terms
being complied with, the entire party
was butchered by the Mormons. Smith
was then acting as a recruit in the Nor
mon militia, and says that his Lieuten-
ant Colonel Haight told him that the or
ders from headquarters were to shoot
down all the emigrants except the little
children, and that the commander of the
Mormon force, Maj. John D. Lee, in an
address to his troops, told them those
we're his orders. Smith heard the order
passed down the Mormon lines, and wit
messed the entire massacre. He fired
one shot himself, though several volleys
were fred, and then exerted himself to
save the little children.
