A LETTER FROM Miss MEEKER.-The
following is letter from Miss Meeker,
daughter of Agent Meeker, recently
murdered by the Utes at the White
River agency:
"Greeisy, Oct. o, 1871, as the eld-
est daughter of the martyred Agent
Meeker, of the White River agency,
wish to express my feelings in limited
way about this horrible massacre. Had
there been halt as much expedition and
force pat in operation from the time of
NV fathers calling for troops until the
battle as there has been since the battle
this horrible massacre would never have
occurred. The government, with its
slow movements, has let my father be
murdered when it could have been pre-
vented. My father wrote Governor Pit
kin on September 10Th that his and all
the lives at the agency were in peril, and
requested troops. After three weeks
delay SO small a detachment was sent
that it was overcome, giving the Indians
more power than they had before. Had
the cowboys of Colorado been called
ont on September 10 they would have
reached there in time to save the lives
at the agency, and they would have
made so clear work Of the red devils
that it would have been hard to find
one alive to-day. The life of one COM
mon white man is worth more than all
the Indians from the beginning of their
creation until the present time, and yet
such man as my father, with brains,
intellect and power to move the thoughts
OF men-his life is now put out by the
hand of savage foe, whose life or soul
is not worthy of dog, and no power
ii the land to stay the deed. What a
magnanimous government we have to
pamper a set OF creatures whose exist
ence should have been thing of the
past long ago. Oh, my father! Could
| have but died in your stead: My
protector, my hope and JOY! Oh, the
broken hearts of widows, daughters and
sisters who to-day at this hour mourn
tie loss OF their dear martyred ones, who
were their support, love, life and their
! all! They are now gone from their
sides forever, with only sorrow and des-
ola,ion for their comforter through life.
Who can pay the price Of this mighty
woe? Truly, the blood of the martyred
! ones cries out for vengeance, and shall
the voice of anguish be hushed?
ROSE MEEKER."

MONUMENT TO GEN. DANIEL MORGAN.
We are happy to announce that q
monument to that grand old revolution
airy soldier, Daniel Morgan-the hero
of the Cowpens, is TO be erected. The
plan is to get Congress to appropriate
$4,000 for this purpose. The remains
OF Gen. Morgan now lie in Mt. Hebron
cemetery, Winchester, Va, ard the
slab which once covered the tomb is
now nearly all Clipped off and been
carried away by relic hunters. 1t IS
shameful that such should be the case
We trust that common country will
unite in honoring the memory of gal
liant and patriotic man, by placing a
suitable memorial over his remains.
We shall have more to say of this here
after.-Uin. NeWs.

DR.. Glenn, of California, late candi-
date for governor on the Democratic
ticket, will raise this year on his ranch
in Colusa county, about LOO, 900 sacks
of wheat, equal to $4,000 tons, and
worth not less than two million dollars.
1t Is claimed that more than fifty per
cent. of this years cotton crop in Mis-
sissippi is the product of white labor,
which shows that where's will there S

The Rev. Robert Collyer has his
troubles in his new church in New
York. After his sermon last Sunday
evening, and while the choir was
singing the Lords Prayer in subdued
tones, a number of persons left the
church, to the great annoyance of the
large congregation assembled. AT the
close of the singing Mr.. Collyer said:
MAY ask those who have been so
kind as to remain through the service
70 say to any they may know, who
have just left the church, that if they
come again l wish they would remain
TO the end, unless their business is i'm
perative | was told before leaving the
West that l should find finer manners
in New York than in Chicago, but l
have found it otherwise. l have been
here but two Sundays, yet have been
more annoyed in this way than during
two years in Chicago. l don't like it,
and | wont stand it. You will tell
them, won't you?"

THE Man WHO WAS ROASTED ALIVE
III BURGLARS. Mr. Jacob b. Hill, of
Belfast, Fulton CO., Pa, the farmer who
was held over a fire on the 25th ult., to
compel him to divulge the hiding place
of his wealth, has given the full particu-
lars of the outrage to a reporter Of the
McCounellsbury Republican.
Mr. Hill had retired to rest after a
hard days work in the field. He was
suddenly awakened by heavy hand
tightly grasping his throat. He de
mauded what was wanted, and was an
swcrcd by blow over the left temple
The party of burglars numbered six;
four were stationed outside and two in
the house. Hill was then bound, gagged
and blindfoldcd. The sons were all
served in a similar manner. The leader
of the party, who was called General
10y his comrades, demanded of Hill TO
know where his money was hidden.
On his refusal, the General ordered
his party to build a fire in the cooking
stove, and Hill was then held by his
head and feet and roasted until he told
of the whereabouts of a small sum. Not
satisfied with this, they submitted him
again to the roasting process and Sc,
cured S131. The thieves also stole
seven or eight notes of different parties
and denominations, amounting to
sl,l09, and left threatening every mem
Der OF the family with death and the
building with fire if any alarm was
made before dayLreak.

Moral UrRoIsM.-The following ac-
count of cool courage under the most
painful circumstances has but few par
allelS:
Dr. Eugene Pcugnet, Of Fordham,N n.
Y, who had his feet cut off by train
of the Harlem railroad, near the depot,
at West Mount Vernon, on Thursday
last, was taken to Smith's Hotel, near
by, where he sent for DR.. II. Il. Sands,
of New York, to amputate his legs, and
tor other friends in the profession. In
the evening fourteen physicians were at
his side. While waiting for their arri,
val he had taken his lance, made incis-
ions 10 his arms, and then injected bran
dy and morphine,so as to counteract the
effect of the shock to his nervous sys-
tcm He also showed the persons
around him how to adjust tie bandages,
and he poured out the necessary guam
titles of brandy and ether TO be given
to him. He said that he believed that
he was past saving, and he gave direc-
tons to the Rev. Father Coles in re-
gard to services he wished TO have per
formed. When Master Peugnet, a
youth of about seventeen years of age,
arrived, knelt beside the bed, and
placed his hand in that of his father,the
latter expressed his last request in words
that moved all present. lie told him
that the responsibility of the care of the
younger members of The family rested
upon him, and that his mother would
have to depend wholly upon him. More
comfortable accommodations for DIR.
Peugnet were offered in house across
the street, and the amputatious were
performed there. The operation lasted
about an hour, DR.. Peugnet signifying
at what places he desired the ampula-
tations TO be made. Six hours later he
died. Death was caused by the ner-
yous shock

and pigs from Mrs. Osborne, jury out consid-
ering verdict; Mrs. Lena Werner, receiving
stolen goods, still on trial.
The county quarterly court before adj
iournment for the term, yesterday, fixed the
rate of county taxes as follows for the year
1879: For general county purposes, thirty
cents on the one hundred dollars worth OF
property; Judgment tax, fifteen cents;
schools, five cents; Ohio railroad coupon tax,
FIVE cents. Total county tax, fifty-fve cents.
In addition, the privilege tax will be FIVE
cents -one-half that of State privilege tax,
except as to keepers of tipplinghouses, who
will have to nay thirty seven and Il half dol
lars per annum.
The agreed case between State Receiver
Minor Meriwether and Mr.. W. P. Wilson,
which involves the constituhonality OF the
act of thu legislature repeating the old char
ter OF Memphis, and the act organizing the
Taxing District, was heard upon argument
by the Judges of the supreme court OF the
State, at jackson, on last Wednesday and
Thursday, and was taken by the court under
advisement. The court will announce an
opinion in the case probably to-day; if not,
then on Saturday next. There is very little
doubt but that the judges of the supreme
court will decide the act of the legislature
repeating the incorporation chatter as valid
and constitutional.
