Mem.
NEW YoRK, Nov. 26.-J. B. Grinnell OF
Iowa, in conformity with the actions Of
the late meeting of cattle m en- in Chicago,
has prepared a circular showing the capt.
tai invested in the cattle and swine in
dustry. and the losses on expectation,
consequent upon the restrictive regula-
ions and the decreased relative consump-
ton of beef. Grinnell finds that there is
invested sos. 900 900 in cattle, represent
ing 4.1l7,1 100 animals. The losses On the
expectation Of cattle. approximately, (com-
pairing 1882 and 1888 with 1880 and 1881
were l55 800 animals, valued ct $11 $685.
900. Grinnell had An interview with
President Arthur on the matter. with q
view to some remedy. The President was
greatly interested, and will treat the ques-
ton in his next message. The head of the
Treasury and Agricultural Departments
be also found equally anxious to extend
some aid, and will do all they can to se-
cure the framing Of laws for the consider
alton Of Congress. After consulting the
Commissioner Of Agriculture. ex-oficio
chairman Of the committee, Grinnell
called . meeting, to be held at the United
States Department Of Agriculture on
Jan. 10 1884. He hopes the Western peo-
pie interested in the cattle industry will

Mormon Missionaries.
New YORK, Nov. 28.-The London Truth
says that . party Of women missionaries
from Utah have been working actively for
the last six months in the western counties,
and I regret TO hear they have Induced
quite q large number of persons in the
rural districts to join their egregious body.
Many converts have already gone put to
Utah, and Q still more numerous con-
tingent have been baptized, pending the
time when they will be ready to start for
the promised land. It is lamentable to
think, after the repeated exposures Of the
Mennonite creed. that there still remains
in the country people capable Of being
ensnared by the outrageous fictions of the
plausible v~agabonds who are regularly dis
patched to Europe from Utah in search Of
recruits. In America, the hupbug Of
Mormonism has been 80 thoroughly ex-
ploded that converts are rarely forthcom-
ing, except in individuals whose room
would be considered preferable to their
company.

Sullivan, who had served two terms for

glary. He was tried for burglary this
time, and the jury awarded him twenty

lage of J~onesburg Sunday night, @. B..
Hendrick and wife went to the house of q
