Judge Lane has decided that a polyga- mist cannot sit on a jury to try man charged with polygamy. It is perfectly clear that a man who believes polygamy to be divine command, and therefore of course no sin or crime, would pay no heed to any mere human enactment such as a state or national law. Yet it has been for years impossible to make the courts of Salt Lake City see this and enforce it. With jury wholly composed of 'Gen- tiles," as the law-keepers of Mormondom are called, it will be more probable that the late enactment of congress can be car ried into effect.

The jury in the Conant murder trial at New London retired about 9:3O Thursday. At 2:20 o'clock they announced they could not agree and were sent back for further consultation and little past o'clock re- turned and to the usual question answered that they had agreed and announced that they had found the prisoner guilty of mur- der in the second degree. The prisoner flushed, but beyond that bore himself with the same stoicism that has characterized him throughout. His relatives in the court room. whatever their feelings. be- trayed nothing in their countenances. The prisoner will not be sentenced for ten days, during which time his counsel may file objections if they so conclude. The verdict was not surprise to most of those who have watched the trial, but few, if any, were prepared to learn how the jury really stood affected. Upon retiring after the charge an informal ballot was taken, showing that eleven stood for conviction of murder in the first degree, and only after more than four hours of consultation were they able to agree on the verdict ren- dered The verdict carries 8 sentence of Imprisonment for life. The story of the seduction of Mrs. Conant by Mcclellan, as told by Conant, found little credence with spectators or jury.

Hartford Post Almost everybody is going gunning nowadays, the law being of. It is an excellent way to get exercise. Stout clothing, good gun and a clever dog can make the occasion exceedingly en- joyable. Quail are reported to be very plenty but woodcock seem to be scarce. Gray squirrels and cartridges are frequent ly bagged. Whatever meteorologists may -deduce from these facts they are welcome to; the study of the habits of such an- imals has not yet been close nor continu- ous enough to found successfully weath- CT bureau. But to the sportsman they mean plenty of good shooting, and plenty of good shooting is as pleasurable and merciful-the good Isaak to the contrary notwithstanding-as the hooking of trout or the tearing out of gudgeon's mouth.

Please allow the following small space in
the columns of the REGISTER. There was to
have been a meeting of the United Anti
Thief Organization, at Ironton, on January
Goth. But owing to SO much ice on the roads
and bad weather-that is, it was almost i'm
possible for members to reach the place of
meeting, and in consequence the meeting
had to be postponed, to Saturday, February
23d, 1884.
All members are requested to attend the
meeting, for the purpose of devising plans to
carry out the object which its organiza-
ton is based upon.
Resolued, to divide into township organ
izations, so that if any of its members ever
have to call the Brothers, they are at hand;
ready to respond to the call, to bring the
culprit to justice, and eradicate Iron county
of all worthless characters that may exist
within its limits.
Our organization is composed of the best
citizens of Iron county, and they hope to
soon see the day that they may slumber in
safety, as in the days of Iron county's infan-

Arcadia Valley Teachers Associa-
ton.

The Thirteenth Session Of the Arcadia
Valley Teachers Association met in the Pub
lie School building at Pilot Knob, Saturday,
February I'd. The meeting was called to or
der by Pres't J. b. Scott at eleven A. NJ, and
was opened with prayer by Prof. F. c. Mil
Ter. The minutes of preceding meeting were
read and approved. Prof. T. G. Foley then
read very interesting and quite lengthy pa
per on "School Punishment" which en-
braced many of the modes of punishments
and the most effective ways of inflicting them
The paper being OH subject of much gen.
eral interest to the teachers, the entire morn
ing and evening sessions were directed to its
discussion. 1t was, however, admitted to
have been a meeting of much benefit to all
present. The only regret to be expressed, is,
that so few were present to take part in the
discussion. The Association adjourned at
3:1o P. NJ, to meet April list, when it is
hoped a full attendance will be had.

DIED.-At the residence of her father, j.
b. Hampton, ESQ.,, Mrs. SARAH j. ABRAMS,
in the 26th year of her age.
On the 4th day of February. 1888, she was
married to Mr.. Henry Abrams, who, wit h an
infant child, survive her.
The deceased has been lingering on a bed
Of sickness for about two months. In the
early moments of her affliction she seemed to
realize that the shadows of death" were
about her, and she was led to prepare for
the hour of dissolution. A few days prior to
death, a friend was summoned to her bed
side to pray with her, to whom she remark
ed joyfully, "I've found my Saviorw Those
in constant attendance needed not these
words of assurance, for there were ample ey-
licences in her calm, sweet resignation to the
Fathers will.
After earnestly eXorting those about her
to prepare to meet her where parting would
be no more, she died in the full triumph of
Christian faith, having opened the door of
her heart to Him who stood and knocked.
To the bereaved ones we would remark,
''Now, no Christening for the present SEEM
eth to be joyous, hut grieyous; nevertheless,
it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of
unto them which are exercis-
ed therebyo "For If we believe that Jesus
died, and rose again, even so them also
which sleep IN IJesus will God bring with
him.
"Asleep in Sesus, blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep:
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes" A.

Some Of the papers of the Southeast are
freely offering "slate' for State officers,
we notice. Some are so selfish as to present
the entire ticket. Now, Of course, most Of
these offerings are simply complimentary,
but We notice few names going the rounds
of the Southeast press that would look ap-
propriate il presented as champions of the
pool and card tables. If Southeast Missouri
would get hearing, she must place her COM
pliments as well as her confidence, in her
men of character. We like your support of
Mr.. Bashaw for Governor, for the reasons
you assigned.
