SPRING Is COMING

SPRING Is COMING.
The grass will soon be springing
The birds will soon be singing,
wild geese be swiftly winging north their flight,
flight flight;
And thawing pools rejoicing,
With bullfrogs gayly voicing
Their amorous lays throughout the liveong night,
night, night.
When nights no longer freeze us,
And balmy verna breezes
Cure colds, throats and sneezes sure as fate
fate, fate.
Fond lovers will be swinging,
While to each other clinging
In fond affection on the garden gate gate, gate

Terrible Tragedy.

Warrenton, Va, "details are
received Of terrible tragedy near
Delaplaine, in this county, on Sun
day. 1t seems the attention of the
neighbors was called to the residence
of John Glasscock by the appear
ance Of his house being on fire.
When it was entered and the fire
extinguished, the body of
his wife, a son aged seven,
a baby and a child were
found dead, welter;ng in blood from
pistol shots, one each In the wife,
second and third child, and three in
the Oldest boy. Shortly after shot
was heard in the direction of the
woods, a short distance off, and the
body of John Glasscock himself
was discovered. The deduction is,
that he murdered the family, re,
loaded his revolver, fired the house
to conceal the crime, and then
killed himself as soon as the ex-
tinguishment of the fire told him
his crime was revealed.

views on the Mormon question. he
character lied the Mormons as
"cranks and Guiteaus," and opposed
oppressive measures as only tendlng
to incite them to further lawless
acts, instead of subduing them.
This he said was the history OF all
such measures. -POlygamy, he
thought. was on the decrease, and
he prescribed education as the psna'
cea for all the ills from which the
people of Utah suffered. The Nor
mons as a people. in his opinion,
were extremely ignorant, led by
cranks and those who had their own
ends to serve, and all necessary to
bring them back to the paths OF
morality was to show their true con-
dition.
