Social Wine-Drinking.-A Crush

At an ecclesiastical meeting, wine
drinking came under discussion. Some
favored it-some condemned. At length
an influential member made Il vehement
speech in its favor. de%nouncing oppos-
ers as fanatics. When he had ended, Il
layman asked permission to speak.
''Moderator," said he. sit is not my

nature, reformed him. | need not tell
you that father rejoiced.
We'll, years passed. The young man
completed his professional studies, and
was about to leave home to enter upon
his life-work, when, in an evil hour, he
was invited to dine with 4 clergyman,
noted for his hospitality. At dinner

offered again, and again refused. He
was then laughed at for his singularitv.
He could withstand appetite-ridicule

Lees Confession.

BEAVER, Utah, July 20 The sub
stance of John D.. Lees confession is
that thirty Mormons. with the assistance
of Il large number OF Indians, dccoyed
the emigrantS from their entertainments
by a ilag of truce, and that all were
murdered except seventeen children;
that the deed was done under orders
from the leaders of the Mormon church:
that he took the news of the massacre TO
Brigham Yoang, who dcplorcd the
transaction, and said it would bring dis
astcr to the Mormon people. The
statement of Lee, so far us known, only
confirms previous reports in regard to
the massacre.

The Flood.

The damage by the recent flood OF the
Charitons in u vicinity is considered
by many to be greater than we esti-
mated last week, which was $50, 900.
Besides all the losses of the farmers in
their crops, for "a distance of fifteen
miles from the mouth of the Charlton, up
to Bowling Green Prairie, many lost a
great deal of stock. After they had
abandoned their homes on account of
the flood. some low and d~espicable
sneak thieves went To these houses and
p%iltered and plundcred them OF many
articles. Such vile creatures are too
mean to live, and they are not prepared
to die. Some several hundred saw logs
were washed away from Lewis saw
mill. This is one of the best mills in
the State, and supplies many places
with the best kind of lumber. Large
quantities of splendid walnut lumber
have been shipped from this mill to St.
Louis and Chicago. The loss Of the
mill by this flood IS at least $500 to
$ 1,G00.

On Saturday last the "Stars" of this
city took a trip down to st. Joseph to
s.tackle" the ''Pastimes," who it seems
has beaten them pretty badly. The
Pastimes are evidently Il good nine, and
played we'll on Saturday. The Stars
seems to have had bad luck from be-

played their positions to perfection, but
the other boys played bad throughout.

they will be beaten 50 bad the next

JOHN ID. LEE, a Mormon, has turned
States evidence against his former asSo-
ciates, and has promised to reveal the
facts of the massacre of emigrants in
1867. In that year a large train Of en-
igrants passed through Utah on their
way to California. They were fired on
several times by parties, whom they be-
lieved to be Indians, but resisted des-
perately, and repulsed their assailants;
buta short time after a large company
of the latter, disguised as emigrants,
overlook them and proposed to travel
in company. The emigrants agreed to
this, and put Eheir guns in the wagons.

cold bl0od.-ET.

lows: Some time since DR.. IIatton, Il
prominent physician and surgeon of
this town. was called to attend the
wife of Mr.. Fred Mewhcrdcr. a prom
inent citizen living a few miles in the
country. She was delivered ola child,
and MeWherdcr claims that there was
malpractice on the part Ofthe doctor,
and that tie mother is injured be-
yond surgical aid. On yesterday
evening Mcwhcrdcr was riding along
the road armed with Il Spencer rifle
and met DR.. Hatton, when he imme-
diately raised his gun and fired shoot
ing him through the body. The ball
went in at the side and came out near
the spine, and there is 10 hopes of the
doctors recovery. Mewherdcr fled
as soon As he fired the fatal shot and
has not since been heard from. DR..
I!atton is respectfully connected and
has hosts of friends here. and they
freely threaten lynching if the muir

potato beetles, and found OH trial
that it wOuld do so. The powder
may be busted on dry when the dew

probably, is to make 4 tea Of it; that
is, infusc it III hot water and then di-

by means of Il common watering pot.
This is the plan We adopted, and in
an hour or two every beetle, large or

be made too weak to be eifectual.

if its strength is we'll drawn out by

twenty gallons OF cold water may be
added. The powder might, like Par

During the thunder storm on Satur-
day morning last, the house of S. b.
Buckley, in the north part of town, was
struck by lightning, and considerably
used up. The house was square built,
with chimney in centre. The lightning
struck the chimney first, passed down
it a short distance, and then passed to
the corner Of the house. The plaster
ing in large quantities was knocked
down, the chimney broken into pieces,
and the corner of the house badly shiv-
cred. Mr.. Buckley and wife were oc-
cupying n room and his children the
other, all of whom escaped uninjured,
though their beds in which they were
laying at the time was covered with the
clustering knocked down!

The duty of q journalist is to make

cause the blush of shame to Jingle upon

in the land, and such occurred IN the
hitherto peaceful township of Rockford,
at Mound school house on last Sunday.
The people of the n~eighborhood had as
sembled there for public worship, and
during the progress ofthe religious ex-
e%rcises, a man by the name of Kahus
applied for a letter from the church. A
majority of the members were opposed
to giving him a letter, but were willing
to give him an honorable discharge
from the religious flock. This occa-
stoned hot words and hard feelings, and
when the religious services were closed
the subject was again preached and dis
cusscd in the yard, in language not al

more the matter was discussed warmer

matters eliminated in blows. and an

sued, which was participated in by men,

flew through the air, men swore, wo-
men screamed, children screamed, hors-

flowed freely. About fifteen or twenty
persons took part in the fight and one
man came out with his ribs caved in !;
one had his nose broken; another the
top of his a chopped off. and about q
dozen received black eyes. bloody nos
