THE return last week of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. IL. Van Ness of IL summer
tour through Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin was at least month earlier than
they expected-the illness of their
little daughter making travelling inn
practicable. Health was the object of
the trip, and from appearances we
nudge Van would have renewed his
youth had he been able to put in the
other four weeks.

DrRING the search for the drowned
in the Cedar, last Sunday, some OF the
kind-hearted people on the west side
of the river brought abundant provis-

there. All the people in Rochester
and immediate vicinity, also did ev-
erything in their power to assist, the
Hartman boys running their ferry
gratis and continually for the benefit
of those interested.

THE GEL-LORioCS FoTRTH.-We
didn't see much of i.-not MOURN you
could cover with 20x30 "star-bangled
spanncr"-but it came all the same.
In Upton, Sheriff Maynard and Mr..
Prescott grew sufficiently patriotic to
chang the banner on the outer wall'-
that is, they hung it over the street;
the small boy went his last nickle on
the destructive cracker; and the res
taurants and saloons did a thriving
business. Camp meeting, surround
ing celebrations and private pic-ni,s,
were recruited largely from Upton,
and the other fellows staid at home,
famed themselves and were glad they
didn't go any where, and wished they
wasn't there.
At Clarence they went through
with a characterization programme.
Rev. J. +. Sprye was the Orator of
the Day, aud Albert Wilcox. G. l.. Me-
Nett, Geo. Mcleod, +. A. Gates.
Parke Simmons, j. =. Ferguson and
$. :. Camp, responded to toasts. Sem
ator Kent presided, and the City Mar
shall was the peace officer. Only one
arrest, however, was made, and he
wasn't a Whangdoodle. The girls had
the advantage; they personated the
States, while the boys were not allow
ed to shoot crackers. The gazette,
from which we CLEAN, thinks they had
"A good time, and we presume it is true
even to those who sweat for their
daily (and nightly fun in the Bow
cry.
At Rochester there was also big
time. The programme published in
these columns two weeks ago was sub
stantially carried out. No grecnbacks
| were distributed, however, except at
the restaurants, etc. \ spirit Of war,
not born of devotion to paper money,
we are told, was developed in the lat
| ter part of the day. Some blows We're
exchanged and numerous short ora
| ito ms made, more pointed than pious
and not at all included in the pro-
gramme. Nothing serious, however,
occurred to mar the festivities with
which the brush were full.
Cedar Bluffs celebrated the new
bridge and the nations bornja by an
| orga niZed celebration. s. V. Landt,
Esq, was the orator, Mr.. Hyatt read
the Declaration and the Mechanics
vile Band blew between times. 1t is
stated upon good authority that this
gathering was a success in every re-
spect; that everybody was happy and
river water produced no injurious eff
| fects.
Inland, also, perpetrated a set Cel-
ebration, according to announcement
made in the ADVERTISER. We are
without particulars, but presume the

"OLp GEORGE mccoy" long pen
sioner in Cedar county, and for sever
al years resident at the Poor House,
died there on Tuesday of last week.
The deceased was on old settler and a
sort OF celehrity-the latter chiefly on
account OF the diligence with which
he followed the profession of loaiing,
and Of sundry droll speeches begotten
from time to time Of an absolute ne
ces,ity to say something. "OldGeorge'
! always liked to rest, liked to rri.ate
his alimentary canal and never liked
to work. Being as destitute of posi-
tive vices as of virtues, he lived a long
life rs IA kind of mild public nuisance,
and died regretted by no one.
This may seem heartless sort OF
| such affords lesson worth regarding.
MURDER NEAR TAMA CITY Mr..
| w. j. Lee writes from Tama City
| that great excitement exist in that
region of country on account OF bru-
tai murder committed last Monday
evening. He says:
In the Bohemian settlement, about
| II miles from Toledo, Michael Mishick
and Chreshe Iiarng, having procured
their supply of benzine for harvest
concluded to test the same. 1t proved
to be regular fighting fusil, and in
!, short time they were enjoying Il
fine quarrel, in the course of which
one stabbed the other terribly with =
file. Monday evening, Constabl.
Whitley and two others went to ar
rest the party doing the stabhlng,
when he resisted, shooting the officer
dead. He was, however, arrested
brought to Toledo and placed in ths
county Jail, where excitement ran 81
high that the utmost vigilance was
necessary on the part of the officers tc
prevent his being lynched. In spite
OF this, II rope was once placed arounc
bis neck and he was pulled up almost
but not quite, long enough to destroy
life. The Jail is now guarded day and
night.

/ crossed the mountain by Indian
trail, taking my little Indian boy with
me on my horse. The gathering up of
the property and cattle was left in the
charge of Bishop P. K. Smith. The
testimony ofSmith in regard to the
property and the disposition that was
made of it was very nearly correct. I
must not forget to state that after the
attack a messenger by the name Of
James Haslem was sent with dispatch
to President Brigham Young asking his
advice about interfering with the COM
pany, but he did not return in time.
This l had no knowledge of until the
massacre was committed.
Some two weeks after the deed was
done Isaac Z. Haight sent me to report
to Governor Young in person. 1 asked
him why he did not send written re-
port; he replied that l could tell him
more satisfactory than he could write,
and if would stand up and shoulder as
much of the responsibility as l could
conveniently that it would be feather
in my cap some day, and that 1 should
get celestial salvation, but the man
who shrunk from it would go down to
hell. l went and did as was COM
manded. Brigham asked me if Isaac
c. Haight had written letter to him?
1 replied not by me, but 1 said he wished
me to report in person. ''All right"
said Brigham. ''Were you an eye wit
ness?' "To the most of it," was my
reply. Then 1 proceeded and gave him
full history of all except that of my
opposition. That left out entirely. I
told him of the killing of the women
and children and the betraying of the
company.A. That, 1 told him, I was OPP
posed to, but 1 did not say to him to
what extent was opposed to it, only
that 1 was opposed TO shedding inno-
cent blood. ''Why," said he, 'you
differ from Isaac Haight) for he said
there was not drop of innocent blood
in the whole company" When was
through he said that it was awful F.; that
he cared nothing about the men, but
the women and children was what
troubled him. said, president
Young, you should either release men
from their obligations or sustain them
when they do what they have entered
into the most sacred obligations to do"
He replied, Il will think over the mat
ter and make it a subject of prayer, and
you may come back in the morning. and
see me-"
I did so. He said, John, l feel first
rate. l asked the Lord if it was all
right for that deed to be done, to take
away the vision..of the deed from my
mind, and the Lord did SO, and feel
first-rate. 1t is all right. The only
fear l have is of traitors" He told me
never to lisp it to any mortal being, not
even to Brother Heber. President
Young has always treated me with the
friendship of father since, and has
sealed several women to me since, and
has made my home his home when ill
that part of the Territory-until danger
has threatened him. This is a true
statement according to the best ofmy
recollection.
