business here as q stock broker, for some
time past, and has won the respect and
esteem Of all who have done business
with him; but, unfortunately for Mr..

our knowledge, 7. W. Abraham, the
newly appointed Postmaster of Phoebe, is

his extreme politeness and anxiety to
furnish letters to them when called for.

Kansas and Texas Railway, which has
It's terminus here. The Houston and
Texas Central will be a long coon, and
then there will be rail communications

5000 inhabitants, and we have hotels,
stores, churches, grogshops, two par
soDsges, one gambling house, and a
town hall. We have been wanting q
graveyard. Yesterday a man died. and
this afternoon everybody will turn out
TO inaugurate to the new cemetery. We
thought we should have to import a
corpse to start it, but this fellow hap
pened to die and save US the expense.
Another one Is sick OF q disease he
brought from Missouri, and the doctor
says he had better hold over the other
chap day or so, and make one job Of
it. Don't think he we'll do it. though,
as We want the graveyard started any

WHEREAS, Mr.. Oakes Ames, Repre-
sentative in this House. from Msssachu
sets, has been guilty OF selling to mem
bers of Congress, shares OF stock in the
Credit Mobilier Of America, for prices
much below the true value OF such
stock, with intent thereby to influence
the votes and decisions Of such mem
bers lin matters to be brought before
Congress for action, therefore,
Resolved, That Mr.. Cakes Ames be
expelled from his seat as member oi
this House.
WHEREAS, Mr.. James Brooks Rep
resentative in this House, from the
state of New York did procure the Cred
it Mobilier Company to issue and deli
yer to Mr.. Charles Il. Nelson for the
use and benefit, of said Brooks, 81
shares of stock of said company at a
price below it's real value, well knowing
that the same was issued with intent to
influence the vote and decision of said
Brooks as a member OF this house In
matters to be brought before Congress
for action and also 10 influence the ac'
ton of said Brooks as a Government
Director in the U. P R. R. company.
Resolved, That Mr.. James Brooks
be and is hereby expelled from
his seat as a member of this House
The reading OF the report having been
comple,ed at2 Is, Mr.. Poland rose and
sa d that the committee did not expect
any action TO be taken on the reporl
until it was printed, and until each
member had an opportunity OF exam
lug it, nor did the committee propose
to have day fixed for the discussion
until then. =,
Mr.. Brooks, of New York, rose and
said he desired to submit to the House.
in reply TO what seemed to him most
partial, unjust, and prosecuting report,
documents which had not been read
10 the Committee. The first OF these
was the process, verbal, OF an action in
stituted by McCombs in the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania, against the
Credit Mobilier, in Decemb Der, 1851
containing list OF stock holders as
long ago a. December, 1867.
Mr.. Poland said that the list was
in the testimony. g,
Mr.. Brooks thought it was not alluded
to.
Mr.. Poland-We had no occaaion to
attend to it in the report. 1t has no
bearing on the case.
The list was read; the point of 1t be-
ing that Mr.. Brooks name did not ap-
pear, as a stock holder at that time OF
Credit Mobilier, and Charles Nelson 8
name did appear as stock holder o.
three hundred and fifty shares, and that
this was before Mr.. Brooks was appoint
ed a Government Director.
The discussion OF the report OF the
Credit Mobilier was set for next Tues
day.

A sad occurrence took place at the
residence OF A. W. See on the st. Mary g
pike, just outside the corporation yes.
terday morning. While Mrs, See was
momentarily absent at the gate to get
the milk, her little boy about three
years old, sprsng out OF bed aud ran to
the fire. Approaching too near the
CRATE his night clothes caught fire.
His screams attracted the frightened
mother, and in her haste to reach him
she slipped and fell; but instantly re-
covering herself. she seized q wooden
blanket, wrapped it around him and
eYtinguished the flames. But, alas,
they had done their fatal work; and
the innocent darling fingered until Ge-
ming, when the angel Of death came 70

The Mormon Question.

A correspondent o! the Baltimore
Sun, writing from Utah, says:
Much has been said about the Nor
mons during the last few years, 60 ]
shall say but little OF them. In their
religious duties they are as bigoted as
they are careless, and all that their
leaders ask of them is strict payment
OF their tithing, and dislike for any
thing anti. mormon. Their church SER
vice is very like that OF the Methodists.
Their place Of worship is what is called
the Tabernacle, the largest building in
the country, which will Eold fourteen
thousand people sitting. Here they
worship, and here hey listen to servi-
ces which are nothing but political
or else speeches to arouse a feeling
against the government OF the Gen
tiles"
AsI said, the coming Of the "Gentiles"
has i'm proved the city wonderfully, but
the change caused by them did not cease
here; with them came fashion, and that
made the greatest, and 10 the husband
of ten or fifteen wives, the saddest
change. Before the chief expenses was
in buying eingham to make his wives
bennets. Alas now the envious wives
won't wear gingham bonnets while
their Gentle neighbors can wear "those
loves of things" made up Of velvet, flow
ers, &c. Nor would they wear unpan-
Tered calico while their more modern
neighbor bustled about in silks and pop
Inns. So had the green cotton 'umbrlr
to give way TO the silk parasol, and thus
the change cane. II the authorities at
Washington will only let pO'ygamy
alone, fashion will kill it quicker than
anything that they can do, for that
man can stand therequ,sitlons OF sever
al fashionable wives'
Let me say that Eastern people en-
deavor to make Brigham Young, "the
prophet, seer and sage" OF Mormonism,
more miserable than he is; instead OF
sixty some odd wives, he has only nine
teen, and instead Of some two or three
hundred children, he has only fi'ty or
sixty; still he has enough to make it
quite an outlay to furnish them all with
Christmas presents.

CrRcUMsrASrTAL EVIDENCE OVERCOME.
The acquittal Of Leavitt Alley, re-
Gently, in Boston, charged with the mur-
der OF Alijsh Ellis, whose body, it will
be remembered. was found horribly
mutiIated floating in two barrels in
Charles river, has excited comment 10
the Massachusetts papers on the simi-
larity OF the circumstances on which
the prosecution relied to the Webster
Parkmsn case, which occurred about
twenty years ago. 1t will be remem-
bered that Dr.. Webster was convicted
sud executed for the murder Of Park
man, his creditor. Investigations led to
the discovery OF Parkmsus body, cut up
and sunk in the rear OF Websters lsbo-
ratory. In the csse Of Alley, it was
established that Ellis was bis creditor /;
that he was searching for Alley the
night Of the murder; that Alley alter
wards was in the possession Of iunds.-
But the strong point in the prosecution
was that blood was found in Alleys
stable, (he being Q cartman. which ex.
perts declared to be not only human
blood, but the blood OF the murdered
man, and that Alley was seen dumping
barrels into the river the next mernipg.
The defense first proved an abb, show.
ing Alleys presence elsewhere every
hour OF the night; that be bad money
on deposit in bank, and finally experts
prepondersted in the assertion that the
blood in Alleys stable was not human,
and that the analyses showed q distlnc.
tioo clear and defined between human
and brute blood. Upon this showing
Alley was acquitted. The cases refer
red to, between the Parkman murder
and that OF Ellis, 90 the Massachusetts,
papers claim, are somewhat similar
But the important distinction Ia, that
Psrkmsns body was found in place
secssaibls only to Webster. III
