CHICAGO, February 24.-Eldsr Mark
N. Forscutt Of the 'Reorganizsd Church
Of the Latter Day Saints Of Jesus Christ"
preached here Sunday morning on 'The
Danites." The Mormons have been
holding services here for several weeks.
with q view Of organizing . church, and
this was Elder F%orscutt's seventh ser.
mon. He alluded to o charge which was
voiced in the play running at McVick.
er's Theatsr that the Mormons had q
society known a. the Danites. lie was
q Mormon, had lived in Utah and said
he knew of the Danites. That such o
society existed was incontestible, but he
could not hold tho Mormon Church
responsible for the crimes the order had
undoubtedly committed. He took q very
liberal view OF Mormonism. He denied
that the Mormons In Nauvoo or Joseph
Smith taught polysamy. Polygamy was
not q part OF Mormonism. and there had
been a time when those who practiced 1t
had been punished therefor by the Nor
mons themselves. He closed by asking
his hearers, when they heard attacks ON
the Mormon Church, to distinguish be.
tween the R~eorganized Church OF Latter
Day Saints OF Jesus Christ, Of which he
was o member, and the Utah faction.

ON C street. Virginia. He died on the

Of him:
He was . druggist in Virginia City
from the earliest dsys until 1865. From
Virginia he went.o White Pine. locating

pioneer, removed to Sc~hellbourne, which
at that time Was ut the very hight OF its
early prosperity. Here he again en-.
gagged in the drug business, occupying a
portion Of the since removed Moiineiii
Hotel at that place. He remained in
Schellbourns for some time, and became
largely interested in the mines IN thai
section. Upon the subsequent peter
ing out he returned to "Old Pogo.
nip" His former store having burned
down in the big fire, he located next
Jack Perry's saloon on Main street, n
there remained until 1875, when.
through q fortunate dabbling in stocks,
he succeeded in making . raise. sold
out his interests in Nevada and went to
San Francisco. where he opened = nrst'

The winser.

The winter which is about leaving us
has been peculiar in many respects
b.sid-s cold. There has not been rs
much sleis hing in ten consecutive years
in Virginia as this winter and yet the
fall OF snow has not been excessive.
The late snow storm was more severe to
the eastward than any other OF the win
ter. Much moro snow fell at q dis
lance Of from 10 to 100 miles east OF the
Sierra than Immediately at the eastern
base Of the mountains. Last Friday a
depth Of about five inches OF snow fell
in the valley Of the Carson river, where
but it'll snow has before been seer this
winter. In going eastward 1t was found
to have been still heavier. At Mason's
Valley, where they have hitherto had
but very little snow, they now have a
depth Of Is inches, which is q thing IN.
p~recedented in the history Of that valley.
Such a depth Of snow will be very hard
on the cattle Of the eastern sections OF
the State. The rauchmen in that direc.
ton have very little hay. and the snow
covers the white sage to such q depth
that the animals cannot reach 1t.

A CAT STORY.
The Benefits OF Advertising Clearly
Demonstrated.

The benefits derived by advertising In
the News were perhaps never more
plainly seen than in the following
described case: About a week since
gentleman Of this town lost q favorite
cat-one OF the class Of knowing cats,
rarely seen but frequently read OF in
magazine articles-a cat that can tell
the days Of the week, knows fish.dsys
from bean.days. can tell at sight q grain
fed rat from n fod on, swill, and can
select the Gold Hill News from q score
Of newspapers simply because Of Its
merit. Now to the point: On Saturday
afternoon last the owner OF this cat
caused to be published in the NEWS an
advertisement offering 50 reward for the
return Of his lost ~favorite. In less than
two hours after the Gold Hill carrier
had gone ovsr his route the cat came
marching into the house Of bis owner
carrying in his mouth u c"py Of the I'D.
vsrtissment referred to, torn from the
News. OF course all hands were glad to
see the long.lost cat, and he received any
amount Of carsssss. But the most
angular part OF the whole affair Is, the
cat would not eat. nor drink, nor rest
until the lady Of the house left the room,
when he at once jumped upon
bureau, pulled open drawer
and took therefrom a 1ve.dollar green.
back, the amount Of reward offered
for his recovery. All efforts to take the
money away from the cat proved fruit
less and he was finally allowed to keep
il. But as soon as the cat could get out
Of doors he made q bee line for a neigh.
boring butcher-shop with the money in
his mouth. and upon entering jumped
upon the desk Of the bookkeeper OF the
establishment aud quietly laid the
money down before him. The book
keeper knowing the cat, having frequent.
" supplied him with meat, and quickly
spprecistiug the joke. wrote a receipt for
the amount on account, which he gave
the cat. The cat took it in his mouth,
carried il home and deposited 1t in tho
drawer from which he took the money.
Since then the cat goes about in "the
even tenor Of his way" just as II moth.
ing had happened. Now II this story
does not illustrate the benefits OF adver.
Using. as well as show the wondrous
knowledge Of some cats the writer OF
this is willing to hear the next cat story.

AN OUTRAGE.
A I. Dirty Brat" Of . boy IS 81
Brute OF \ M~an-Insuis Adoed 70
Injury.


There was an outrage perpetrated in
Virginia yesterday. There were many
OF them, doubtless, but this was q
marked outrage. for this pencil was
there to mark it and. without q GOD
save the mark" will sketch il truly.
There was a child at plsy-as bsauti.
full and bright q being as ever left the
heavens and came down to earth-and
his voice rang swsetly as his laugh ran
in ripples OF melody throughout the
room. In the plentifulness OF his glee
he approached . man with whom be 10
wont to romp and play, raised his little
hand and. not being needed, struck.
The father saw the blow and started
for the boy. 49,,
go and sit down. you dirty little
brat! Go and sit down. 60 and sit down,
20 aud sit down." -.
And the father emphasized each
separate phrase by . blow on the tender,
auiverins fesh OF that child. Z sht
blows one after another fell heavily on
that shrinking frame before the boy
reached q chair aud climbed into Il; for
be was too small to gain the seat with
out an effort. 49,.
Lo! the shangsl The voice. which
but a womsnt before made melody a.
the stars make light. was for An instant
hushsd in surprise, and then came .
wall or two, so sweet and yet SO sad 1t
seemed as il the spheres themselves had
struck q minor strain and gone astray.
This called forth q rsbuke from the
father. aud with 1t came the thought III
that child is . dirty brat for plsyfully
giving one blow to . stalwart man, what
is that father. who gave eight heavier
blows to that tender child?"
But children are quick to forget and
quicker yet to forgive. and II they we're
not God have pity on some fathers when
their sons grow to manhood and have
manhood's strength aud passions. 10 u
few moments the surprise and sadness
vanished from the boys face and the
light returned to his tear.dimmsd eye.
Papa"
No answer from the brutal parent.
Papa"
oh, the sweet. the thrilling music OF
that voice! Never. since the morning
stars sang their lullaby over the graded
earth and the IONS Of God wept for JOY,
were there sweeter sounds.
Papa"
.I don't want Won 10 even speak to
me. You are q bad. boy to strike a. you
aid. and I don't want you to speak TO
me-" .
This was adding insult to injury. and
still querying how it could be bad III a
boy to strike in play and not in q parent
to strike in anger. this pencil withdrew,
scarcely wondering at the number OF lit
tie graves on the mound out beyond the
Ophir.
