Murder Trial.
ST. JoHNsBURr, VT, d

ST. JoHNsBURr, VT, Dec. 81.
The hearing IN the case of Hadley for
shooting Hayes at Lyndonvile continued last
evening and has occupied the entire day today.
Some six or eight witnesses were examined
whose testimony largely disagreed with that
previously given. Judge Smith in giving the
conclusions of the court said the testimony
was such that he was of the opinion that in
consideration of the threats made by Hayes
against his life and the manner he was as
saulted in the dark when he could not see the
intentions of his assaIan; and being fred on,
he was justified in the course he tock. and
therefore discharged the respondent.

week what his arrangements for the coming
season will be. and then he will be able to
say what he will do in regard to the proposed
race

Mysterious Disappearance OF an Ohio
Physician.

CLENELAND. u, DEC. OF.
The village of Lyons, Fulton county, Ohio,
is puzzled to account ior the disappearance
of DR.. 5. w. Moulton, the leading physician
of that place. Three strangers came 70 Lyons
on Monday, one of whom said ne was q de-
tectiye. They asserted that heavy burglary
had been committed at Toledo, and they had
reason 10 believe that the burglars were Sc
creted in Lyons or its vicinity. They re-
ouested DR.. Moulton to get his horse and
buggy and take a drive with the detective,
vhich he did. The other two left town.
Since that time nothing has been heard, either
Of three men, of DIR. Moulton. or of the horse
and buggy. No such burglary ~ they men

1t was here that both the gentlemen COM
posing it first studied the law, and it is
here that they made their fame and their

some of the leading corporations of the

Williams will take offices in the Hooper

will continue at the old stand just north
of this building. They retain all their
old clients, having divided the firm busi-
ness. Considerations of business ma
ture alone prompted the dissolution of
the firm, but the old clients of the firm

To both the gentlemen we say good luck
and continuance of the old prosperity.

HE ISN'T sTINGY.

Editor Hemenway, of the Ogden Her
aid, publishes his good bye' in his pa
per of yesterday. No doubt he wrote
his own obituary and praise himself.
There is sonethiassAgenerous, and at the
ssme time modest, in the style in which
he speaks of his own abilities; it shows
that Ogden's favorite hero is not stingy.
Want of space alone prevented him lay
ing it on thicker. We give specimen
below.
From all parts of Utah Editor Hemenway
has -a-eiyed the warmest letters of SYM
pa ". ..os only from Mormons, but from
q g as we'll. His name has gone
al I'd. gad ne finds that very generally the
public corcurs in the opinion that he has
been prosecuted more to gratify partisan re-
sentiment than to satisfy intrinsic Justice In
any particular. He feels sure, too, that his
!. q suits. his punishment, and his present
: rrows rre, under the circumstances, only
,e necessary prelude to a more potent and
splendid future career. Greatness cannot
bsi attained without great suffering, great
peri. and great exertions as rule. MIR.

DIPHTHERIA.

The city seems to be suffering from an
epidemic of diphtheria. 1t is a scourge
to be dreaded almost as much as small
pox and like contagious diseases. Diph-
liberia is generally deemed to be disease
arising from filth, but when once it gets
started it invades the palace as well as
the hovel. If it comes from the great
abundance of bad odors arising from
prevalence of filth, then it is as liable to
be carried everywhere. 1t is disease
that seems to battle all efforts to effectu-
ally curtail and eventually stop its
spread, but something can be done to
lessen the spread of the disease. This
something is rigid enforcement
of wise quarantine regulations. Such
regulations do not enforce themselves,
and upon The ordinance book may look
never so we'll and sufficient, still, their
worth is only in their enforcement. The
quarantine regulations of the city are not
stringently enforced. A Ayellow flag hung
out in front of house where diphtheria
exists may prevent people from entering
the house so long as the flag hangs out,
but so soon as it is removed the friends
and neighbors rush in to see those who
are in sorrow for the loss of loved one,
when in nine cases out of ten there is as
much danger in the house after the flag
is down as when it was up. These houses
should be quarantined for some time after
the patient is well or no more, and
the inmates forbidden to mingle with
the community until all possible danger
is passed. The houses where people may
have been sick with any contagious or
infectious disease, should be thoroughly
disinfected, and the city authorities should
see that it is done. But more than this
still remains to be done. The city au-
thorities should forbid the digging of
cesspools in the city, and should compel
owners of land within the city to fill up
those now in existence. These are the
great breeders OF filth, and for the city to
take no heed of these and other causes
of disease, but to confne their attention
merely to diseases after they are devel-
oped, is for them to merely gaze at the
flower which blooms on the tree of death.
Let the citizens demand of the City
Council a rigid enforcement of every
quarantine regulation, for if some imme-
diate and strong effort to check diphtheria
is not made, the death-rate from this
cause will be increased to a most alarm
ing extent.

Hemenway is a young man, his abilities have
never been called in question, and the day
will come, as sure as he lives, when he will
triumph over his last enemy.
He was attacked, and he now suffers be-
cause he fought for the unpopular Mormon
people, their rights and their God; and to
the Mormon people he pledges his best eff
forts, his whole time, and his humble talents
as long as he has strength to write or breath
to speak. For their good, for their preser-
walton, and their ultimate triumph, he can
face death, Jail, or anything else cheerfully,
even as he faces his trials now. May Heaven
bless the Mormons, and deal with their enc
mics speedily, according to His own merci-
full pleasure, is the farewell wish of Editor
Hemenway-his farewell wish to the great
audience who will read this Mammoth Edi-
ton of the Ogden Herald farewell wish
until he can use his fettered pen in freedom
and exultation after the bitterness of his en-
emies has satiated itself.
