Russians Cros. the Balkans.
some Reported Victories for
the TurRa.

The past weeks operation of the
Russo Turkish war gives very great
advantage to the Russians. They
have pushed column of 23 900, lead
by the daring, unciviIized Cossacks.
across the Balkan mountain pass, and
they are now reported on the high
road 10 Constsntinuple
The Balkan mountain passes, it
has been said, were the great, Impas-
sable, natural defeuces to the Turks,
and that the Russians never could
cross except at the expense of thous
ands and thousands Of lives. Accord
ing to present reports, 23 600 have
crossed. without the firing of guu
and if this body can cross SO easily it
looks like the whole RUSSIAN army
will.
In the face of all this, the Turks
have gained some striking victories.
on other parts of the war line. In one
place they report to have captured
II 600 prisoners in one batch, and that
the Russian commander the Grand
Duke Michael. Is in full retreat before
their victorious columns. We are not
going to give names and places, because
we can neither pronounce, write or re-
member them.
Very little of the war news can be
depended on. Bat. if the present as
pect, the successful crossing of the
Balkan mountains, prove true, it would
appear that the Russians are on the

For the hrst time in the history of Fulton
oonnry n case of rape Is being tried be-
fore our courts. The charge is against
Clsm Bird, man Of family, and the
outrage allsaHsa to have been committed
ON the psrsOn of Mrs. Ann Jones, q widow
l1k6y Of this county. Bird has been, en-
pIoyed as a cropper or overseer on the
farm Of Mrs. Jones, the past two seasons,
and during his stay on her premises ac-
complished the purpose. The prosecution
was conducted by Messrs. Geo. d. Prather
fudge A D. Kingman.
The outrage is said 10 have been accom-
plished about Christmas last, and three
several times, in the several weeks, there
Tense was not sworn out until in July.
The prosecution alledged that the delay
was occasioned by fear of Bird and deli
cucy as to giving publicity to the affair.
The defence attempt 10 make it appear
that the act was voluntary, by consent,
and not by force.
We have full notes of the testimony,
but as the case is TO be tried at the ap

cline printing ~ this time.
The examining trial was held before
Judge Montgomery Wednesday last, who
after hearing the evidence and argu-

really been divorced from his former wife,

own signature, in relation TO the above
indictments, the suit for aliuony against
himself and a general defence Of himself

sions were 80 unhappy as to induce his
aetion; that his conviction for lunacy was
unjustly obtained aud afterwards set
aside by the Court; that his divorce OBJ
tained in Utah was fair, just and legal;
and, that a. the time Of Obtaining the di-
yorce he was clearly citizen of Utah,
within the jurisdiction of the Court, and
that his former wife was duly notified ac-
cording to law; and that he has been the
subject of much persecution, etc. These
are the points made by Judge Williams,
and we give them to the pnhlic without
prejudice one way or the other In let

OUR HOME MoNEY MARKET =
One of the cheering facts as to our
renewed loeal prosperity is that money is.
growing cheaper. We near of consider
able amounts being loaned at ! psr cent :,
and in many instances mortgagers are
taking up their 10 per cent liabilities,
and borrowing a. :. This shows increas
ing prosperity; and in this connection it
may be noted that farm products are
bringing above the average prices. The
balance of trade, high interest and cheap
products, has been against the farmer,
the past few years, but it appears now
that is turning to the good old times
again. Money is cheaper abont Hickman
than it has been any year since the war.
aud money lenders move anxious TO in-
vest in local securities. The good effect
Of this is apparent TO all. This money
will finally mud it's way into home i'm
