SALT LAKE Utah. Oct. 20. 1872
The Grand Jury in the Third district of this Ter
ritory has adjourned for three weeks to afford Dis
trict Attorney vanzile time to procure evidence
against polygamists. The body is composed OF
thirteen Gentiles and two Mormons Those Nor
mons who avowed their belief in polygamy and IN
Mormon revelation, and declared that they would
obey Gods law before the law Of man. were chal-
lenged and excluded from the jury.
Among tho indictments found is one against
Mormon elder named Birming ham. who was APP
pointed missionary to Europe at the last Mormon
conference. He was arrested on the day before a
party of missionaries. of whom he was to have
been one. started for Europe. He will be tried dur
ing the present term of the court. He has lately
taken polygamous wife. John W. Young. coun-
sellor to the Twelve Apostles is also indicted This
much married young man il now in Arizona.

Remedy for Garget in Cows.

The Western Rural gives the following
treatment for garget in cows; " Fomenta-
tons of warm water must be applied to the
bag and constantly persevered with, in the
beginning of case. The udder must be
kept free from milk, both by allowing the
calf to suck, and by continually drawing
with the hand. Turpentine liniment should
be applied several times daily with friction
by the palm of the hand. With regard to
internal medicines, after the bowels have
been well acted on by laxative dose of a
pound of Epson salts, mild febrifuges may
be given, such as nitre in half ounce doses
dissolved in drinking water, and given twice
daily. If the inflammation rises high, the
dose of nitre may be combined with half a
drachm of powdered leaves of digitalis and
two drachms of powdered tartarized anti
mony, and such dose may be given morn
ing and evening, in half pint of cruel,
from bottle, during two or three days"
This is rational treatment, and worthy of
trial. Our own experience has been that
tablespoonful doses of finely pulverized
saltpetre in meal, repeated three times a
day, together with lamentations of hot water,
as hot as the hand can bear it, are very eff.
fective. The bag should be well dried after
fomenting it, each time.
