P. 81 omitted to tell you that we
had also purchased lot containing s
acres in town, where we have built this
Fall and are now living. The lot cost
500. The town after being surveyed
into small lots, has strip of s, 10 and
j. acre lots around it. Our house is IA
X Is, twelve foot studding and feet be-
tween floors the roof is inst square
pitch, giving us room enough up stairs
for two beds and storage room for such
articles of furniture as we don't use; a
good cellar, 10 by IA feet, gives us room
for our vegetables; have also built a
barn, corn crib, and pig pen. Our team
OF years old horses, with harnesses and
wagon cost $500. The Epizootic has
just reached US, but is very light; we ap-
prehend no serious trouble from that
source. Domestic cattle are scarce. and
high as yet. Plenty of Texan cattle.cows
worth SIS to $40. but they are good for
nothing as mixers. No sheep yet in the
country, I think they would do we'll here
however. A.F.c.

FROM JAPAN
Revolt Among Farmers

New York, AUGUST "A Japan
letter says: "On the 21st instant,
10000 men, mostly farmers, armed
with bamboo spears, and assisted by
the former Daimio's retainers, armed
with swords, attacked the government
castle at Fukuoka, set fire to the build
ings, destroyed all the official books
and papers, killed six officers, and
four officers are said to have died by
their own hand as they saw the rebels
overpowering them. Three officers
only escaped, and three fed to Logo,
sixty miles above Nagasaki. The
telegraph line from Nagasaki to Yoke
hama, and which passes through Isl
klnszen, was utterly destroyed, and
the overland mail road was blockaded
SO that information is obtained slowly.
A report has reached Nagasaki that
the houses of all the people in Hakati
and the country round about who
would not join the insurgents had
been burned, and that the dwellings
of rich men and the banks had been
robbed. The insurgents are said to
number at least $50, 900. The cause
OF the revolt is that the government
has required the taxes of the farmers
to be paid in money instead of pro.
duce, together with the probable fail
ure of the rice crop"

at meeting of Beaver Dam Grange held

At meeting of Beaver Dam Grange held
on the I'd inst, the following was adopted ):
WHEREAS, We, although Patrons of Hus-
bandry, regard ourselves as citizens among
citizens and believing in "equaI rights for all
and special privileges to none" require us to
| cooperate with all honest men without our
organization, in political affairs, and that
while we lament the corruption that exists
among government officials to a large ex-
tent, and depore the Vaccinations of
scheming poiticians-we consider our or
ganization political one only to the extent
OF recognizing these evils by endeavor ing
10 see that none but honest men are nominated
and elected to office, without forming our
selves into distinct political organization
or party therefore,
ResoIved, That we decidedly disapprove
OF the calling Of a State convention of the
p'of d. for political purposes, as was done
by the Dodge County Convention of Gran
gers, held in this city on the 18th ult.. and
do refuse to send delegates.
ResoIced That a copy of these resolu-
tons be furnished the press for publication
Adopted at a regular meeting of said
Grange, held August I'd, 1873.

BRIGHAM YoUNG's Divorce CASE
SALT LAKE, UTAH, AUGUST S.
The divorce case of Ann Eliza YOUNG
against Brigham Young came up to-
day before Judge Emerson. The de.

the point that the papers were. not
properly served, inasmuch as the Off

not In the court. Judge Emerson
said the point was well taken, and the

attempted to, compromise the suit for
$4,000, without the knowledge OF
consent OF her lawyers. Messrs. Smith.

NO FUSION
~ a a n.
District Committee

The Ohio Democratic State Conven
ton which met at Columbus a week
ago, contrary to general expectations
refused to identify itself in any way
with the action of the Peoples State
Convention held only few days pre-
vlous. The Peoples Convention had
fondly anticipated that the Democrats
would ignore their old party affiliations
and join in the Peoples" movement
looking towards the formation of new
party. But the democracy far from
conserving to be dissolved and then at.
tached to some new organization, went
to work and nominated that antede-
luvian and time honcred old Hunker
William Allen, for Governor, and per-
formed all the other work pertaining
to the convention in regular. ancient
democratic style. A correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune, writing from
Columbus at the time of the conyen.
tion says ''it was convention of the
old sort with the peculiar feature of
enough young life present to make up
something new had it not been whip-
ped into old Bourbonism at the start y
and further states that nothing to for
get and nothing to learn" was the rule
among the members OF the body.
The action Of the Ohio Democrats
clearly proves that the democracy of
the country are determined to tread only
IN the old path and fight it out with
the Republicans on this line from now
until Gabriel shall sound his last trump.
