a LETTER from point about thirty
miles above Eagle Rock, on Snake
river, TO the Salt Lake Herald has this
to say OF that section as an agricul-
tural country:
Perhaps it may be well TO call at
tention to the great amount of excel
lent arabic land lying open to pre-
emption and homestead in this sec
ton OF country. There are about 20O,-
coo acres Of good land in this locality
well situated for irrigation, and an
abundance Of water in Snake river,
easily accessible Small grain does
well here; oats grown here last sea-
son weigh thirty-eight to forty pounds
per bushel Wood and timber are al
SO easily accessible by floating down
Snake river. the banks of which
stream are lined for miles with cotton
wood groves
The Snake River Water Company
is now constructing canal for irri-
eating this country. 1t will be a
large one, the head gate being suffi
clent to admit, if necessary, stream
thirteen feet deep and twenty wide
The canal, with its branches, will be
about forty miles in length The en-
gineering work is in charge Of Mr.
James H. Martineau, civil and by
dIauic engineer, and the earth ane
lock work is contracted for by M. d
aud H. NJ Hammond, of Providence
Cache county, Utah. They have quite
force working with pick and bar
row, Notwithstanding the severity 0
the season and depth of snow, which
is about eight inches now; but it hal

The Scorpions Suicidal Impulse.
London News.

Do animals ever commit suicide?
A dog is said to have done SO by
drowning, perhaps on no stronger ev-
idence than that which authenticated
Capt Marryats anecdotes. Doubts
have been thrown on the sanity of the
cat which hanged herself in the fork
between two branches. The suicidal
character of the scorpion, however, is
reasserted by correspondent of ma
ture. We have all heard how the
scorpion, if surrounded by a circle of
fire, runs its ting into its own head,
and SO expires. Probably most of US
have Chased this scorpion with Ben
venuto Cellini's celebrated salaman-
der or with the barnacles who gave
birth to wild geese. Mr.. Allen
Thompson, however, has friend who
has often seen scorpions sting them
selves to death at Lucca. When the
insect is caught he is put in a glass
tumbler till dark A light is then ex-
hibited, whereupon the scorpion first
loses his head with excitement, and
then "brings his re-curved sting down
upon it, and pierces it forcibly." In
moment his sorrows are over, and
"his excitement amounting to despair
ceases to vex him. 1t is odd that this
suicidal mania should be hereditary
in scorpions, because, of course, the
dead ones cannot have reported to the
survivors that the experiment is sue
cessiul, while suicide is far from com
plying with Darwinian conditions, and
favoring the persistence of the spe
cies. The alternative theory could
best be put in the words of Ettrick
Shepherd, when accounting for the re
ported visit of ghost to his grand
mother, Maybe my grandmother was
an awful leear." But Mr.. Thompson
has no doubt about the veracity of bi:
informant.

while about to feast upon tie bodies
of the captured Frenchmen. The

proach, but were pursued and fifteen
of them killed. The scene upon the

they landed was sickening in the ex-
IRENE. Several large blocks, similar
to those used by butchers, were stand

These were reeking with blood, and
