A STRANGE DELUsIoN.-Reuben Stafford
known throughout eastern Connecticut for the
past twenty-five years as the "od hermit of
WewacuS niIl, died at MOntville few days
ago at the age of So. He was a steady going
mill operative until lSi9, when the California
mining fever turned his head, and in company
with George ROOertS, who had a similar mag
got in his brain, he began hammering and
blasting at the tlinty rocks in the neighbOr-
hood in search of the precious ore. The two
men finally organized mining company. cap
italists Joined the enterprise, money flowed in
and shares sold high. But al last the chimeri-
cal scheme. which was only sustained by the
fraudulent representations of one of the prn-
cipal managers broke down completely. the
works were abandoned and the ruined stock
holders returned TO their former pursuits.
Stafford, however. never awoke from his dream
of sudden wealth, but built him a hut at the
mouth of the mine and spent the rest of his
days i'm solitude, hammering at the barren
rocks or poring over muSty mining treatises.
But age, which did not weaken his trust, en-
feebled his frame, and the town authorities.
on the approach of winter, mercifully removed
him to the poor house. This broke the old
mans heart. and he survived but a few weeks
the eXtinguiShment of his hopes.

At the Onondaga County Fair ex-
Vice-President Schuyler Colfax deliv-
cred speech nearly one-half of which
was devoted to the evils connected with
polygamy in the territory of Utah. Ae-
cording to Mr.. ColfaX the Mormons
surpass in successful notification of
federal laws all former attempts made
by States. The naturalization aS well
as the homestead and presumption
laws, are construed and carried out in
way calculated to destroy their use
fulness and defeat theirpurpose in that
territory. Under the naturalization
laws foreign-bOrn woman marrying a
citizen is naturalized by her marriage,
and the wife of an alien becomes natur-
allied by her husbands naturalization.
The territorial authorities of Utah mis-
construe the law by treating as citizens
the foreign born polygamous wives Of
Mormon citizens. On the other hand,
while lawful wives cannot procure title
to Government lands under the home
stead and pre-emption laws these po-
lygamous wives, when applying ut the
land offices, abandon the claim that
they are wives, and obtain patents for
lands on the ground that they are
single.
