Gypsum Valley Fsrmsrs' Club.

Last Saturday evening the NOvem-
Der meeting Of this popular Club took
place ut the residence of DIR. Van
Eaton, about eight miles east of Sa-
lima. The members and guests began
Ia assemble at early lamp-liyht, and
did not stop coming until they had
filled the rooms of their worthy host to
overflow. 1t is said that there were at
least one hundred persons present. The
Doctor and his family succeeded in
making everyone feel ut home, and Of
course this insured u pleasant evening
to all.
About eight o'clock the Club was
called to order by its President, DIR.
Van Eaton. Their regular business
was transacted, reports Of committees
heard and acted upon, and topics Of
special interest discussed with much
enthusiasm. The prohibition amend
nlent of the Constitution was ably dis
cussed by Messrs. Wright, Cavan-
augi,, Walker, Eastman and Others,
both pro and con, and finally laid over
until some future meeting. ut which
time the ladies OF the Club are expect
ed to take part.
One Of the important events of the
evening Was the reading Of paper by
Mr.. 4. ID. w. Manchester. II was
abundant in good thought for farmers,
with plenty Of wit and huInOr running
through its pages to make IL interest
ing to all, anl also some very fine
selections, the whole rejecting great
credit on its editor. His correct re,Id-
ing and pleasant manner added much
towards making il interesting

but, although this closed the busi-
ness Of the Club proper, il by no means
closed the evenings programme. The
worthy ladies of the Club now came
forward with an elegant supper, which
argued much for the farmers Of Gyl,-
sum Valley. The sumptuOus repast
was ''abiy handled" by all present.
After supper An hour or 10 was spent
in pleasant social intercourse, and the
way everybody seemed to enjoy the
OCCASION was abundant proof that the
efforts Of the members Of the Club to
make these meetings interesting were
fully appreciated. Quite number Of
guests were in attendance from Salina
and other parts Of the county. All
united in saying that the November
meeting Of the Gypsum Valley Farm.
ers' Club was grand success, and ns
they separated late in the evening to
go Ia their homes. high hopes were en-
tertained by all for the prosperous
future Of the Club. VISITOR.

DeATHoF CHARLES DICKENS WIDOW

LONDON, Nov. 22.-Mrs. Dickens,
widow Of the late Charles Dickens, ex-
pir0sl ut her residence in KensingtOn
to-day. For some time before the
death Of Mr.. Dickens she had been
separated from him. and the peculiar
relations which hal existed between
herself, her younger sister, and Dick
ems, gave rise to much scandal in lit
eraFy circles In London. For many
years past Mrs. Dickens has led very
retired life, and has seldom appeared
in society. One Of her principal griev-
ances, upon which she spoke freely to
her intimate friends, was the fact that
her son Charles approved his fathers
course toward her, and had. Oh more
than one occasion manifested feelings
Of antipathy toward her. Nm. Dick
ems will he buried In the kensal Green
Cemetery.

AS much space As we can to extracts
bearing upon its most important points.
He cOngratulates the country upon the
good effects arising from resumption,
in the revival of trade, &c. Upon the
question of polygamy he says:
The continued deliberate violation
by a large number of the prominent
and influential citizens of the Territory
Of Utah of the laws of the United States
for the prosecution and punishment of
pOlygamy demands the attention of
every department of the Government
This Territory has a population suffi-
cient To entitle it to admission rs a
State, and the general interests of the
nation, as well rs the welfare Of the
citizens of the Territory, require its adj
vance from the territorial form of gov
eminent To the responsibilities and
privileges of a State. This important
change will not however, be approved
by the country, while the citizens Of
Utah in very considerable number up
hold practice which is condemned
rs crime by the laws of all civilized
communities Throughout the world.
The law for the suppression of this
offence was enacted with great unanim-
ity by Congress more than seventeen
years ago, but has remained until re-
Gently dead letter i'm the territory Of
Utah, because Of the peculiar Difficult
ties attending its enforcement. The
opinion widely prevailed among the
citizens of Utah that the law was In
cOntraventiOn of the Constitutional
guarantee Of religious freedom. This
objection is now removed. The SUI
preme Court of the United States has
decided the law to he within the legis-
lative power Of Congress-, and binding
~ a rule of action for all who reside
within the Territories. There is no
longer any reason for delay or hesita-
ton i'm its enforcement. 1t should be
firmly and effectively executed. If
not sufficiently stringent ia its provis-
ions il should be amended, and, in aid
of the purpose liz view, recommend
that more comprehensive and more
searching methods for preventing as
