element was created here yesterday by

IL regarded a q very pretty hsht by the
nom ormons. The troubles Of the
Church, coupled with the incarceration
OF the apostles Cannon, Darlington and
Young, calls forth the following threat
from the Desert Mes, the Mormon
Church organ: "How much more will
this people have to bear before some.
thing Ia done to change the current Of

would stand what VI have endured for
many years. In all sincerity w utter q
simple word Of caution. We say to u
enemies, forbear. There Is a line be-.
yond which It may be dangerous to pass.
You can dsspise our warning. II you
please. bat We tell you plainly that the
Normons, with all their charity. pa.
tisnos and long suffering. are only men
and women. and should the tide OF In.

MAJOR HoTCHKIss.-We recently had the
pleasure of meeting Major N ii. Hotchkiss,
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, and of
renewing pleasant recollections of the excur-
sion of Maryland editors in 1878, of which
the Major had command. Major Hotchkiss
is at present engaged in making arrangements
for reunion of the editors of New York,
Kentucky and Virginia, at the White Sui
phur Springs, West Virginia, in 1880. The
Major has had great experience and remark
able success in this line, and is consequently
personally acquainted with more of the edi-
tors ofthe country than any other man. In ar
ranging these editorial excursions the Major
has two fold object in view In the first place
he is devoted to the interests of the railroad
with which he is connected and of the State
of Virginia, of which he is an adopted citizen.
He believes that a personal examination OF
the railroad and the resources of the Virgin
las, by newspaper men of other States, will be
of advantage to all concerned Besides, in
bringing together the representatives of the
press of various sections, North and South
he feels that much sectional prejudice can be
blotted out. The Major has already done a
great amount of good in this manner, and il
is greatly to his credit. Long life and pros
perity to him, say we.

The Concert at High Point.

We would call attention to the advertisement in
another column of concert to be given at High
Point, the proceeds of which will go toward pur-
chasing an organ for the Union Sunday School,
lately started Mt this place. This concert is under
the management of the well known empressarios.
s. X Davies and Brother. Mr.. w. H. Davies is now
in the county working, up the concert. Quite a
number of prominent ladies of the various sur
rounding churches are assisting Mr.. Davies in his
efforts to make this a financial success; whilst
Mr.. s. X. Davies is in Baltimore, culling a troupe
from the sweet singers of that city. He has already
succeeded in securing the favorites of Baltmore's
gifted artists.
Many persons now stopping in Hartford will re-
joice at the opportunity of again hearing the sweet
bird-like notes of Miss Eta Ceaveland. Those
who may hear her for the first time cannot fail 10
he charmed with this pure soprano. Miss Emma
Pistols voice san Incompatible mezZo-sopranO,
and flows over her audience as a stream of mellow
honey. Mr.. iotf is acknowledged to he the best
tenor in Maryland. In most of the grand concerts,
given lately at the Academy of Music, his silvery
notes have been heard in leading solos, To hear
Mr.. Dongherty with his deep basso, sing I'm
afoat," is worth half doaritself. Mr.. VanIicr
is an amateur pianist. whose touch and manipula-
tons are exquisite. We advise all lovers of music
to hear these great artists and especially those
whoare students ofmusic for they will have an OPP
portunity of hearing and catching notes they may
never hear again.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
The most severe drought we have experienced
for many years, was brought TO q close on Sat
urday last, by numerous refreshing showers for
more than two months previous we have had
but two light rains, and in consequence the oat
and potato crops gardens, &c, have been greatly
injured. Corn, also, was dropping, but we think
the rain arrived in season to save the larger por-
ton of it. Wheat is an average crop, oats as
general thing light in straw, but full and OF
good quality.

Thinning Potatoes.

One Of my neighbors is always remarkably sue
cess1ul In raising potatoes-frequently obtaining
as large yield from n quarter of an acre as many
good farmers do from one or two acres. few
days ago, upon looking at his patch, which was
luxuriant and promised bountiful yield, he re-
marked II have just finished thinning my pota-
toes Upon inquiry learned that was his in
variable custom. Unexplained that it was just as
Important to thin potatoes as corn, if large yield
OF good-sized potatoes was expected. Another
neighbor, who is also successful in raising them,
attributes his success to the practice of thinning
them. Although / am an old farmer, whose
sands of life have nearly run out" the practice
is new one to me. Can any of your readers give
me further information on this subject, embracing
the proper time and manner of thinning?
BALD HEADS.
Permit me to take this opportunity to thank
your correspondent Grip" for his sensible article
published a few weeks ago, in which he advocates
the breaking and removal of the "bald-heads."-
Being in that condition myself-an unfortunate
one in tiy-time at least-I at first started but
upon reading further, found he meant that the
road supervisors should remove the stones which
project in the roads, and which by constant travel
are worn as round and smooth as bald pate
They give the weary traveller many an unnecessa-
ry jolt, and are very detrimental to good temper
and piety. Grip gives them the appropriate name
bald heads" and agree with him in thinking
they should be removed
