In the latter part OF the month of
August. A. D. 1857, about ten days be-
fore the company of Captain Fancher,
who met their doom at the Meadows, ar
rived at the Mountain Meadows, General
George A. Smith called on me at my
house in Washington City, Washington
county, Utah Territory, aud wished me
to take him round by Fort Clara via

force to attempt our destruction; but,
said he, "Johnson's army will not be al

to marry as they desired. But the mis-

unfaithful young man. It was then
determined that the rebellious young
man must be forced by harsh treatment
to respect the advice and orders of the
Priesthood. The fate of the young man
was left to Bishop Snow for his decision.
He decided that the young man
SHOULD DE CAsTRATED,
Snow saying, "When that is done he will
not be liable to want the girl badly and
she will listen to reason, when she
knows that Der lover is no longer a
man." It was then decided to call a
meeting Of the people who lived true to
the Council, which was to be. held in the
school-house in Manti, at which place
the young man should be present and
dealt with according to
SHOWS WILL.
The meeting was called, the young man
was there, and was again requested,
ordered and threatened, to get him to
surrender the young woman to Snow;
but true to his plighted troth, he refused
to consent to give up the girl. The
lights were then put out. and an attack
was made on the young man. He was
severely beaten and then tied with his
back down on bench, when Bishop
Snow took

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

The suggestion in President Grant 8
last message that our experience Of
universal white and black suffrage
affords convincing proof Of the neces-
sity of compulsory education, was a
sound declaration which met re
spouse from thinking men Of all par
ties. 1t is stated that in Germany
the effect of compulsory education
has been to diminish crime thirty
eight per cent in fourteen years. In
New York state where the system has
been in operation the last year the
results are stated to be very favora-
BILE. 1t is time that the subject
should receive public attention in all
the states. The provisions are liber-
al everywhere in the north for the
instruction of every child, and the
laws should see that the advantages
are enjoyed by the poorest and most
classes Of society. The well
fare of our institutions depends on the
intelligence of the people. Children
should not be allowed to grow up in
ignorance to form material for mobs.
