llcontlous doings Of n resident in the
southern part Of Napoleon township In
that State. II Il snid that be has n
large farm, on one part Of which he
has house where lives his wife, and
on another part a place whore he keeps
aparamour who has several illcgltl-
mate children. The people are very
much lncenscd over this state Of affairs,
and want the grand jury TO take up
the case.
The Zee calls this person "a Henry
County Mormon" and In speaking Of

men who were loudcst Ia their outcrlos
against that system lived after the
fashion Of the ohio farmer, or worse,
except that they kept tholF Illicit rela.

not comprehend the higher sentiments
and purposes that governed sincere
men In tina, matter, aud therefore sup.
posed they were he'd only by passion
and moved, like themselves, on the low
plane Of sensual indulgence.
But no mso who h llccntlous eau

truly said 10 have "Mormon" tenden.
