Truth Stranger than Fiction.

Some time ago we mentioned the
fact that the body found floating in
the river near the Cascades last sum.
mer, by Capt. Coe, of the steamer
Idaho, had been identified as the re-
mains of ". T. Smith, porson we'll
known 10 this city. The identification
was based upon the shoes and clothing
which Mr.. Smith wore, and which
were known by parties residing in
this city. A few days ago the body
was cxhumed and coroner's inquest
held. From tho afiidavits of several
persons, among whom was DR.. Rob
bins, who had extracted some teeth
for Mr.. Smith, it appeared to be set
tied beyond doubt that the unfor,
tunate man was W. T. Smith, and the
verdict of the jury was to that effect.
Last Wednesday, Capt. L. Coffin, reg
lister of the Land Office in this city,
received the following letter, which
we give entire, except some corrections
in spelling, ETC.:
WOODRUFF, Rich Co., UTAH.
January %, 1882.
To the Land Office in the Dales:
I understand that there is a patent for
my land in your office, from government, to
the name Of w. T. Smith. II so that IL
mine. ! have heard that Mr.. Beezley found
mo dead; but l, W. T. Smith, am alive and
we'll and hearty. and weigh 1885 pounds.
If my patent is there, please send it to me,
or write to me aud let me know what to do,
and you will oblge me. w. T. SMITH.
Please write to me as soon as you get this.
Write 10 Woodruff, Rich county, Utah.
w. I. SMITH.
In Q conversation with Mr.. Fred.
Smith, a brotherin-law of w. T., after
the above letter was received, he in
formed US that lie was fully persuaded
the letter was not written by W. 7.
but is forgery. He firmly
believes that W. I. Smith is dead,
and that tho remains exhumed were
his. He states that the clothing
which he saw undoubtedly belonged to
him, and the evidence of tho last in.
quest was convincing Of the fact.
Mr.. Beezley came into the office on
Monday last, and he does not think
the handwriting corresponds with that
Of his son,in-law' 1t would te an
easy matter for anyone to write the
letter, bpt what object could possibly
be gained by receiving the patent, We
cannot understand, if Smith is not the
author Of the letter.
Since the above was in type, We have
been shown Mr.. Smiths handwriting,
and We think the letter was written
by hind, Times.

HE THAT HATH EARS, LET HIM HEAR.

We have greatly marveled why there should be
so much evil dwelling in the hearts of the sons
of men. some of our exchanges rife with
glaring accounts of all of wickedness
stalking abroad in the land, insomuch so that the
head turns dizzy and the heart sickens at the
thought, and to quell our feelings and to find the
cause of all this wickedness, we have searched in
all the records that have been written here on
earth, that we might come to right conclusion
satisfactory to our own mind.
In researches we find it is not
because mankind have not intelligence
enough to know right from wrong, or good from
evil, but because the of men suffer themselves
to be deluded by persons standing forth as mes
sengers sent from the great Eloheim, to teach us
how to be saved in the Kingdom of God, and also
how to org anize political and civil governments
here on the earth,-who were imposters, who
taught lies for truth, and thereby deceived the
great mass of mankind from the morn of Creation
to the present day. Yet, correct knowledge, or
information, of the true and living GOD has been
on the earth from the first to the last and if man

PlNCHlNG THE RUNNERS OF MELONS,
SQUASHES, &c.

A practical gardener makes the following i'm
portant statement: "As test Of frequent prac-
tce among fruit growers of melons and squashes,
pinched the ends Of the long main shoots of the
melons, squashes and cucumbers, and left some
to run at their own will. One squash plant sent
out single stem reaching more than forty feet'
but did not bear any fruit. Another plant Twas
pinched until it formed compact mass of inter
mngling side shoots eight feet square, and it bore
sixteen squashes. Also musk-melon plant thus
pinched in covered the space allotted to it, and it
set twenty three specimens Of fruit. The pinch
ing causes many lateral branches, which latter
produce the female or fertile blossoms, while the
main vines produce only the male blossoms The
difference in favor of the yield of an of mel
ons treated by this pinching process may easily
amount to 100 barrels."-Ex.
Not long since we had melon plant that bore
81 melons, Is of which matured before frost came.
Some of the runners were pinched and some were
not. We know that the pinching process, prop

kind had been as eager to obtain this knowledge
as they were TO obtain the riches honors and glo-
ries of this world, they would have escaped near
iy all the sorrows and misery that have been en-.
dured. And now, after so long time, in the end
of the world, in the ''ast days." if men will seek
the true and living God, in good earnest, they
shall find Him. to the great JOY Of their souls.
We shall, as time permits, examine into the
records given by the great Eloheim and those
written by priestcraft.
| About the first teachings of old Lucifer that we
| read Of, was soon after the food by which the
first great dolatrous church was instituted, known
as the Sabian, then followed the Magian, and then
came the Mahomedan, and last, but not least, the
Modern Christianity, as it is falsely called. We
will examine all ofthese systems and show the
contrast between them and the holy order of our
great God, creator of heaven and earth.

ENRICHlNG ORCHARDS.

Any farmer who has been accus-
ned to raising apples and other
fruit, and have been uniformly
successful will doubtless say that
if he expects to get good crops he
treats the orchard AS he does for
any other crop. He nanures it
and he finds that a manure that
will do for most other crops will
do for the crop of fruit. 1t is the
neglect to manure orchards at all
that cause them to bear so poorly
and the trees to look in bad con-
dition. Nothing is better than wood
ashes for orchards. Next to wood
ashes there is no fertilizer better
than Barnyard manure. A liberal

she fell asleep at last in that ssblessed
