HIS FORTUNE AND HIS WILL.-The estate of
Brigham Young is estimated at from Sc, 200, 600 to
$1,000 000 but it would be difficult to put any APP
proximate value upon it, it is widely scattered.
He owns large tracts of real estate in many of the
settlements, and mills, buildings, live stock, and
great variety of improvements. He owns nearly
all the stock in the street railroads in the city,
and large amounts of Utah Central and Utah
Southern railroad bonds, is a large owner in the
Deseret bank, the Deseret telegraph company, the
controlling proprietor of the great lions coop
erative mercantile institution, etc. In Ann ELIAS
bill for divorce she estimated his monthly income
at 800 000 which be denied in his reply, and stated
that his monthly income would not exceed six
thousand dollars. He had alreadg distributed q
considerable amount OF prUpeFsy aiHonS s-his'srrf-
dren, and as he was very punctilious in regard to
his affairs it is probable that his will has been
drawn to preclude if possible any legal complica-
tons. Through life he was averse to lawyers and
the settlement of disputes through the courts. 1t
is doubtful whether it will be possible to avoid
complications and lawsuits in the settlement of
this vast estate and it is than likely that the
lawyers may have many fat fee before the will is
disposed Of A clause in the will directs that
Brigham shall be buried in a rosewood coffin three
inches wider than his body, so that if he had a
disposition to turn over he might do so; that he
be laid on a cotton mattress that his body he
borne to the grave bier, and that he be buried
in stone vault stone slab to be placed over the
top. He requests that none of the male members
of the family should wear Grape embems of
mourning, and that the females should not pur-
chase mourning dresses, though they might wear
such if they had them.-Chicogo Times.

ARREST OF TRAMPs FOR THEFT.-0n Wednes-
day last two tramps made their appearance at the
public house of H. C. Paro, on the Philadelphia
road, near Stemmers Run, and while one went to
the rear of the house to ask for something to eat
the other slipped into the bar-room and com
menced helping himself to the money in the draw
err, cigars, and number of other articles which
he happened to lay hands on. Both then beat a
hasty retreat. The theft was soon discovered
when the services of special officer Frank ]. Stu
art were called into requisition and he soon sue
ceeded in coming up with the scamps, in a woods,
and capturing both of them who gave their names
as Patrick Dublin and Joseph Stroup. They
were committed to Jail by Justice Reever

For Sheriff of Baltimore County.

LoNGNECKER RRos.-Gentlemen Among the
many candidates already named for the impor-
tant office of Sheriff of Baltimore county, we know
of no one as well qualified for the position as
THOMAS E. KEMP, of the 10th district. He
has filed the office of Deputy under Sheriff Bar
ton for the past two years and has discharged the
duties of the position most acceptably, making for
himself many friends. The people want man
who is fully competent to discharge the duties of
the office, an honest, sober and industrious citi-
zen, and Mr.. Kemp fills the bill. therefore take
pleasure in presenting his name in the hope that
the Independent Peoples convention will nomi-
nate him. TENTH DIST. DEMOCRAT.

FROM ELEVENTH DIsTRIcT.-The Glorious Rain
-"Sonle" PotatOes-Good Men for Office, &C.
Messrs. Editors Coming Immediately after such
a severe drought the recent glorious rain makes
us almost feel as if we had passed from death unto
life. l think no one but the tiller of the soil can
realize the difference which good rain, under the
circumstances, makes in the whole routine of the
farmers business.
For the next six weeks it will be seeding wheat
and the anxiety will be to obtain the best kinds
for seed, the proper kind and quantity of fertiiz-
er, and, drill or broadcast-which is best.
You mentioned that some one had raised 90
bushels potatoes from one bushel planted. AlthO'
very modest man 1 must tell you our experience
this season in that line-Orer fifty bushels from
one; variety, Early Rose; cost of seed S1.75 per
bushel, consequently made them reach as far as
possible by cutting small soil light, moderately
MANFRED with barn yard manure plowed under
l think the secret of the good yield was in the
fact that house had stood in the middle of the
lot many years ago.
Are we to have Reform ticket for county Off
cials this fall? If we are would beg to offer some
names for the consideration of the managers, viz,
for Commissioners, Messrs. James Councilman,
Sd district Joseph Merryman and Daniel AL
der, 9th district Two of these gentlemen are Re-
publicans and one Democrat-all men OF sterling
integrity and solid, energetic business men-just
the kind we want to save our money and see that
not dollar of it is spent uselessly. No doubt
! there are many more just as good. Les us have
the best we can get, without regard to their party
preferences. The man who cannot now rise above
this slavish, partisan feeling is hardly deserving
the privilege of voting.
1 think the report of the Auditors will open the
eyes of the people to the necessity of having good
men both in the halls of legislation and on the
bench. There is a sad need of some law to pro
ect the public monies, or, if there is law enough,
then for its proper enforcement.
How much more we to expend in making
streets, putting up lamps, paying police officers
and other matters pertaining to the well-being of
the "BeIt" before we hand it over to the city ?
which at best is only question of time.
Yours, WHITEMARSH.
