SALT LAKE, March 23.--At IL q. m.
precisely, Lee was brought out upon
tho scene Of the massacre at Mountain
Meadows, before the executing party,
and seated on his coffin about twenty
feet from the shooters. After the or
der of the court was read to him, and
the company present. by Marshal
Nelson, Lee made speech of about
500 words, bitterly denouncing Brig
ham Young, and calling himself the
scapegoat for the sins of others. He
hoped God would be mercifal; de-
MED that he was guilty Of bloodshed
to the last, and maintained that his
mission to the Meadows was one Of
mercy. After the speech, Parson
Stokes, Methodist, made prayer
commencing the soul Of the con-
demned man to God. Immediately
after this, handkerchief was placed
over Lees eyes. He raised his hands
and placed them on the top Of his
head, sitting firm, Nelson giving the
word to "fire" exactly at IL o'clock.
Five guns fred, penetrating his body
In the region of the heart. Lee
fell square back upon his coffin dead.
Death was instantaneous. The body
was then placed in a coffin and the
crowd dispersed. There were about
75 persons, all told, on the ground.

WASHINGTON, March 10. - Clerk
Adams, of the House, claims that he
has been misrepresented in tho news
papers in regard to his intentions in
the formation of the new House of
Representatives. He says he has
never given any opinion Of what the
democratic majority will be, nor has
he decided to enroll the names of the
democrats in contested cases. He
will govern himself by the laws and
recognize the certificates Of Cover
nOrs of States. There are only four
cases in which he has duplicate GER
tificates-two from Florida and two
from Louisiana. As the courts in
Florida recognized Drew as Cover
nor, and Stearns, the republican cam
didate, conceded Drewss election he
shall take cognizance only of Drews
certificate and place the names Of Da-
wilson and Finley on the rolls. In
Louisiana there are only two cases in
which certificates from Kellogg and
Nichols do not coincide. In regard
to these he will take no action until
the President has recognized one or
the other of the governments, which,
he thinks, will enable him to act with
out question. There are seventeen
districts from which he has yet re-
ceived no returns, including the three
from Now Hampshire. There will
be about eighteen contested seats.

Rev. A. B. Kendig writes from
Massachusetts,, regarding the indus
trial interests which were largely
dependent on..a settlement of the Pres
idential contest He says, as quoted
In tho Cedar Falls Gazette:
ALREADY our mills are under way,
running on full time and many Of
them over time, to meet the demand.
Fall River tried the experiment OF
sending cloth to England and found
they could make money ont of it. but
such Is the home demand that though
they turn out million yards Of grey
cloth in week they cannot supply
the demand, and must for the present
give up their foreign market. They
are now forming . new company ct
Lowell, that city Of spindles, the
Manchester Of America, for the ercc-5
tion Of new large cotton mill.
Tho boot and shoe, nail and screw
factories, and almost all industries
are feeling the rising tide Of business
confidence Ho also says there is 4
wonderful temperance revival all
through the New England Statcs.
1t is taking deep hold and nightly
awakening all classes OF people.

Stealing lottore.

CHlCAGO, March zz.-FOr some
time complaint has been made that
business letters addressed to Chicago
merchants have been missing and the
supposition has been that . steal has
been going on in the postofficc de-
partment. The responsibility, how
ever, had not been placed until to-
day, when Frederick J. Gross,
distributing clerk, who has been sus-
pected recently and quietly watched,
was discovered furtively slipping let
tcrs under q newspaper and thence
to an inside pocket. He was imme.
diately called to an interview with
Special Treasury agent Stuart, and
confessed to the theft, placing the
of his stcalings at $500. Gov
officers, however, suspect
that the sum is much larger. His
transactions have been confined to
business letters.

The first mail between Topsham
and Bath, Me-, (then called the
"Reach'), by water, fifteen miles dis
tant, was in 1855. The garrison was
ON Foreside Topsham, and q dog had
been trained to take packages to the
port Of Bath in about two hours. On
arrival he would howl until he gain
ed admittance, get his answer and re-
turn. After time he was shot by an
Indian, which was great depriva-
ti0n, and finally the four-footed mes
senger's place was filed by an ambi-
tious youth, who said, "I will carry
your messages by water" For two
successive Summers this bravo boy
went and came between the two
ports, swimming great part of the
way, in the night time, and resting
In the bushes on the shore of Merry
meeting Bay by day. At length he
was captured, carried to Canada, and
after a time escaping, returned and
resumed his swimming mail route.
He was again captured a second time
by the famous Indian Chief Sabbattis,
who broke up that mail route.
