prNSEYs WIFE TURNS AGAINST HIM.

George N. Pinney married Flora Bray, me
daughter Of Walter Bray, the actor When
he had absquatulated she got divorce from
him. Until quite lately, since his RETURN
however, she had sided with him. Now-but
we refer the reader to the following:
San Francisco, August 27.-Flora NJ, the
divorced wife of George N. Pinney, brought
suit in the Fourth District Court to-day
against William H. Culver Of the Masonic
Bank, E. 81. Burr, of the Clay street Bank,
and George NJ Pinney, to set aside a deed
made by her conveying her homestead IN YAK
land to Culver and Burr throug h P!nney as
their agent, on the ground that the deed was
falsely represented to her as being merely 3
mortgage, and that it was given under threats
and fear of her life that she only received
$500 in consideration Of the deed, while the
property was worth S25, 900. In her dec-ara-
ton she alleges that Pinney compelled her to
SIGN orders on Burr and Culver to pay him
| Sc 600: that to free herself from the presence
and influence of Pinney she has been obliged
| to leave her hotel in Oakland and live IN a
place unknown to Kim; that Burr and Culver
| claim an absolute deed of the property IN
question, and that they were aware Of the
course which Pinney proposed to pursue to
compel her to sign the deed; that Pinneys
! return to California was put-up JOB on the
part of Burr and Culver to get money alleged
to be due from W. B. Carr, they promising
him immunity from prosecution.

Charles P Moore, sheep-herder (nobody
is called shepherd now-a-days), has turned
up missing; and it is suspected in Humboldt
county (where he has been tending tlocks),
that he has been murdered, Says the Silver
State OF Monday:
n. Levy & Co.'S. sheep herder, who was in
the vicinity of Moore's camp last week, says
he heard cries of murder one night but paid
no attention to the matter. Moore had two
men arrested this Summer for robbing his
camp, and it is stated that they threatened to
kill him the first opportunity, and it is feared
that they have carried out their threats. The
camp of the missing man was in the noun
tains about six miles from Guthrie's ranch.

A Freak OF nature Is re corded as follows by
the Reno Journal:
Out on the Indian Valley road there is a
natural curiosity. In pine tree, with di-
ameter of nearly two feet, there Is an oak
limb growing, which has already attained a
considerable length and diameter of three
inches. 1t is rather siclly, however, and does
not seem to thrive in its strange quarters
The theory is that an acorn by some means
got lodged in the bark Of the pine tree and
dust settled around it in sufficient quantities
to make it sprout, and it gradually became
part of the tree itself. 1t is close to the main
road aud can be seen by any one who will
take the pains to look for it. Mr.. w. J.
Marsh il our informant.

OF bold manner Of despoiiin3 the Lords
anointed, the Phoebe Record Of Saturday has
the following cool mention:
Two 8Gormons arrived in Phoebe on Saturday
last with a load Of barley, which they disposed
of for 500, and then departed for their
homes in the land Of Zion, going by the way
Dry Valley When they had got distance
Of about FIVE miles beyond the valley they
we're stopped by an individual, who presented
a six-shooter and demanded and compelled
them to deliver UP their coin, and after Sc
curing the same and giving the brethren a
little wholesome advice he told them to 60
and sin no more by dealing with Gentl!es.
They sent word TO town Of the robbery, but
as no description was sent of the man perpet-
rating it, no clue could be found to the high
waynan. This thing Of robbing 5Iormona
who had been TO Phoebe with q load Of pro
duce, and disposing Of the same, were on
their road home, used TO be one Of the favor
tie amusements Of the "boys" about five
years ago and added largely to the revenue Of
the various faro games IN existence at the
time.

Judge West, the republican can
didate for Governor of Ohio, open
ed the campaign in that State on
the 18th, in an elaborate speech at
Bellefontaine. He discussed labor,
silver and resumption questions,
and suggested that labor difficulties
be settled by arbitration, that silver
be remonetized on basis of its
gold value, and that the resumption
of specie payment be pushed as
rapidly as is practicable without
causing too much distress among
the people. His speech was an able
one, but he stood throughout firmly
for ultimate specie payment, on the
basis Of the gold standard of val

We are glad to know that John
Brown, the greatest moral hero of
the 18th century, is to have a monu-
ment, and that it is to be in Kansas.
The skirmishiRg of the struggle
which led to the downfall of hu-
man slavery in America was done
in Kansas, and John Brown was
the leading spirit in those advance
conflicts The monument has been
erected at Osawatomie and is to be
dedicated on the 30th inst. The
most prominent actor in this move
to erect 3 monument to John Brown
is Hon. james Hanway, who was
an actor with Brown in those early
struggles for Freedom. Among the
other features of the occasion, Pres.
Hanway will make statements of
organization and work Of the Osa-
watomie Monumental Association.
The Grafton will be delivered by
Senator Ingalls,, and the dedicatory
ceremonies will be CO ndncted by G.
81. Langston, colored gentleman,
of Lawrence. A large number Of
prominent men of the State have
signified the intention to be present,
and q very interesting time will
doubtless be had.

Stock and Grain 1nteresIs,
The monthly report of the Kan
sas State Board of Agriculture, for
July, is full of interest. It gives
some cheering statistics of the num-
Der, growth and condition of our
stOck and agricultural pursuits,
which will be of interest to our
readers. We copy as follows:
The number of horses for the
year ending March ], 1876, was
2I4,S11; for the year ending March

1918 per cent. The number of
mules and asses for the year ending
March 1, 1876. was 26,42l; for the

The number of cows for the year

This is large increase, especially
in sheep and hogs. The multiple
cation of sheep is promising thing
for the future of our State. We
have millions of acres of pssturage
which ought to be consumed by
sheep every year. In no other d.
rection is our husbendry capable OF
such large and profitable expansion
as in this. The Increase in the num-
Der of hogs is remarkable, and
shows how quickly this species of
stock can be renewed when there is
q demand for it. In 1874 the State
was nearly stripped of hogs, owing
to the failure of the corn crop.
Since then we have had good crops,
and the State is again we'll stocked
with hogs.
The increase in the valuation of
live stock is q little larger in per-
centage than the increase in num-
bers, as is shown by the following
figures:
The valuation of horses for the
year ending March l, 1876, was
SIl,S14, COS: for the year ending
March 1, 1877, $13 al, $50; increase,
81, 433, 245, or 1918 per cent. The
valuation of mules aud asses for the
year ending March /, 1876, was
81, S49, 470; for the year ending
March /, 1877, $2,272,9C0; increase,
$423,43O, or 14.73 per cent. The
valuation Of mich cows for
the year ending March 1. 1876, was
SO, 1863, 772; for the year ending
March /, 1877, $7,O32, 225; increase.
$66S, 613, or 1850 per cent. The
valuation Of all other cattle for the
year ending March I, 1876, was
So, 467,Cc0; for the year ending
March 1. 1877, IO,566, 99I; increase,
$l,O99, 991, or IL 50 per cent. The
ing March l, 1876, was 1851, 7Oe,90 ;
for the year ending March I, 1877,
$612.56l; increase, $3.50, S57. 10, or
40.17 per cent. The valuation Of
swine for the year ending March l,
1876, was $2,642,840; for the year
ending March l, 1877, 1922, O81
increase, So, 2S3, 24l, or 124.23 per

WorkInEmon OrganI.Ing.

The workingmen are organizing
in different cities for the purpose Of
running . political party of their
own. The success Of their effort in
the late election In Louisville has
gwen them new enthusiasm. This
they have Q perfect right to do,
and so long as they do not go to ex-
tremes, or attempt too great a de-
gree Of class control, they will have
the best wishes of those who desire
their welfare. There is no doubt
but that the ballot is the strongest
instrument they can use to bring
about the reform needed, and which
we hope they will secure.
Meetings have recently been held
In Baltimore, in some of the Ohio
towns, In Kansas City, Topeka, aud
ut other points, for tho purpose of
organization. In Baltimore the seu-
timents expressed by the leading
speaker were such as no honest
workingman, nor any one having
the best interests OF society at heart,
can endorse. The meeting was ev-

of characters are mixed with tee

been Office seekers all their lives
and have been spewed out of every
political party. They have stood

howled for reform for years, and
not one OF them has done an hon.
