Conncilnirn dimes off ou Monday ne\t.
Wo did not anticipate, until within the
Inst two days, that there would lx* any
interest or excitement, but we find that
there is two tickets, one of which lius been
handed to ns and which we publish. We
have this to nay for it: that it in an excel
lent ticket; all property holders and ju
dicious men, and while we speak thus of
these geutlemcni, we have, no disposition
to disparage the gentlemen ou the other
ticket, but there scents to be among the
people a disposition to elect anew hoard
of town officers, and we will certainly iu
terpos • no objections.

Wo call attention to the advertisement
of Messrs, iioronglis: &. "Wing, of Atlanta.
This is u strong and reliable firm and wo
have no doubt that our merebnntn will find
it to their interest to pr.rebr.so their to-;
bae.eo, cigars, etc., from that bouse.
The firm is represented by Mr. J. T.
Jordan, TniveEng Ayeut, who lms now
located with bis family in our town, which j
will be 11 valuable accession to our com
iumliiy. With hi- cie igy and p-T.oiml
popularity, wo have no doubt that be. will
build up a fine trade for the house he
represents. And now, as be is a citizen
and neighbor, we hope our m -rehunts will
deal with him.

has como and wo arc glad to say that it
finds our people in the enjoyment of
Heaven's choicest blessing—health—
and that the financial c’ouls that,
lowered above us during the closititr
months of the old year are gradually dis
appearing. Our planters have done all in
their power to save their merchants, and
we must say that the nmrelmnts have been
exceedingly liberal and indulgent to their
customers, and bv those reciprocal favor..
we think all parties will get safely through
the crisis. WiH the results of l ist year',,
planting, the crop disasters and fiuauei.d '
troubles, ull be forgotten when the now
crop is to be planted. Will they forget
the lions they gave for bacon, corn and
fertilizers ? Will they forget that it ted.
all or nearly of their cotton crop to p. .
them. Have they no! learned that fer
tilizers can be made at home? that (sun
an I bacon can be raised at home? And
are they so stupid as not to know with
plenty of corn and bacon that they arc
independent. With these supplies there
is uo necessity for the planter involving
himself. Wo do hope our people will take
warning by the past and profit by the
difficulties through which they are now
passing. Keep out of debt; give no liens
on your crops; plant and cultivate all you
can within your own means, and our
country will soon be prosperous and happy.

Washington's Sensation.
tYmiuN’oToN, I>ee. 27. -It D very con
fidently a-.soiled that the President; in
January, will nominate General Hclienek
to be Secretary of the Treasiny, Mr.
Richards, m to be Secretary of the l.fterior,
and transfer Secretary Delano from the
lat! or department to the mission to Eng
land. The President, it is stated, doclm es
that while lie does not join in the popular
clamor against Richardson, lie in of the
opinion that lie lias outlived las n- ‘fulness
at the hi ml of the tivußurv departm.' lit.
Thi i'tho p:.'grain'"..' as it is gossiped
about in some official quarters, but.it lacks
tile evidence of the President's positive
indorsement of it. lie consulted no one
about the appoint men! of Williams as
Chief Justice, and did not mention tile
tender of the mission to Spain to ('ii hiio.
to a single member of his cabinet. Those
who are so confident of the coming changes
are nimble to offset the President's known
reticent-. 1 in the matter of appointments,
and Vet there are eornnu facts known out
side 'hat m-.’v:- th, slorv pm! He.
It is litiiteif J co that the obj. * t of the
ret. tit visit of ex-Senator Patterson, oi

e.idmv tile Srnuto to take his ease from
the file of tie-Let Congress, and act upon
it. He still hope:, to ha vindicated by the

Senate eensiderß that his reputation was
ruined by the Credit Mobilicr liiscloaiuvs
last winter, it will l>e recollected that the
special committee appointed by the Senate
to investigate Patterson’s ease, reported.
Two or three days before the end of tin
session, that, be ought to Vie expelled. No
action was taken on the report, and w hen
Ids form expired o:i the -Mji of March he
left the Senate, with the und minding
that te ■ H.-natc at its extra si-.i■ i sina'd.t
pass upon the rep nt. This it did liol do,
und Pa Person went to Fiuvpe, from
whene - ho recently returned to engage in

* A Hard Story.
Tho latest wonder comes to us in the]
shape of a communication from a Louis-,
iaim physician to tho Nvw York Ntow, and, ;
taken for all in all, it is one of the hardest
stories that has over como under our ob
servation. It is literally petrifying,
Mr. Frederick Haller, u lawyer by pro
fession and the p olid po-msspr of one of
the finest geological collections in Louis
iana, was married about u month ago to
bis second wife, a beautiful and charming
girl of sixteen. On the day after the
wedding ceremony Mr. Ilall. r crimed his
bride to his residence, whither she was
accompanied by sonic, of her female
friends. About one o’clock thus partic
ular is thesiory -the young wife and three
or four companion*, intent on amusing
themselves, concluded to explore the mys
teries of Mr. Haller’s “Ivock Study.”
Among the curiosities therein contained
we re s vend round boulders brought from
Arkum-as. These bonldi mou being bro
ken pr* sv nt in the central space ji crystal
liiie formation, aud ere usually not much
larger than the double lists. One of these,
h nvevcr, ;\v.;s nun .ally 1,. \ , ;a asuring
tw, uty -one inches in eiretimh .v nee. l’re
qiu nMy the .internal mirfuco, always hol
lo\v, contains vvat. or rather a. concea
tratrd aolutiuu of silica in water. This
fiiet v us known to one of the young ladies,
who mentioned it. At once they nil
begun to wonder whether there was water
in the large boukh r. Two of the HiiuvlliT
ones hail been broken, showing in the
eilitre large crystals, and hail contained
water, according to t!w i assertion of the
young lady who had gained her in for
mation at sumo other time m a previous
visit.
At oneo it was propound to break the
large one, and several meil’ectual attempts
were m ute hy them with n geological
haeamer always piuvsent. Tticy calhsl to
li.eir aid a imlovkl man, a eervant on the
place, who was requested to break open
ihe rock, as they called it. He readily
assented, being willing to thus render his
tir.-t. service to the new mistress. A
pitcher being plae* and nmhnnonth the boul
der us tho man held it, ono sturdy blow
of his stalwart arm cracked it. and the
fluid w ithin ran out run! w:as collected in
the pitcher, scarcely 100 dug a. drop, there
in in,v half a pint, in it. A low additional
blows opened the boukhr, presenting
1 irge, fine, tnnispivikmt crystals of quint/,
ids - i were much adi.e.vd, and other
trie is Is were called from the parlor to
iool; at ; lie newlty.
Tlie bride, without ever giving it a
tliougiit, couctav 'd the notion of drink
ing "the water from tho boulder. She
poured most of it into si glass tumbler,
nearly filling it, ami lifting- it. to her lips
die drank first to the health of her hus
band, then to find of the unmarried
Tri'-uds in th<‘room, .vishing them shortly
to b.'happy la id- s like her.A'U, and drains
('d the glass, uli bring done so quickly
that, no one had tiun to interfere or to
think that any e.-ns-quenci a might fol
low. At first it was thought that no harm
was and ate, and it was considered a fim
j and mu m merriment, was made, tint
in a few miuutes the youthful bride com
plsim and otTxcerdve pain in the stomach,
u; isle b-'g.in to r.-ah/e the rashness of
her action.
A Jin vi wager was at once dispatched for
tie: husband, who Was at his office, and
for tin* phy-'eim wlio reltues the story.
Tlkv li,. 'U*iied to obey the siumnoua, hut
ff before they could resudi tho sc( i nc, the
bride of a ilay had Invatlied lu*r last. Upon

prop!.at.i scjit a delegation of tiieir jiicked
women to the capital to make ait impres
sion at the sent of government favorable :
to the in. ti;iiiiou of Ivlormouism. Mr.
John Young, the subject of our narrative,
composed one of the delegation. It was
no- ie and that when the Mormon ladies held
a certain reception or audiciicc at which
Mrs. Crcswoll was proseut tho Jiandsome
wife of the youngest eon of the jn'oplud
feig.ued .sickuci'.M, or at h ast did not ap
pear. Airs. (J,, however, cliituccd to meet
her iiih-nvard, and saemcil to have an
impression that she had met her some
where bei'u -e. When Mrs. Cres wed i re
turned to Eiliton Die was reminded that
the wifi of John Yeung v.:,s the former
Miss Canfield who used to trim and sell
bonn- fs in Elkion, and the young wife’s
reluctance to meet her at tho eapiiol was
ex]duin<;d.
Homo time ago two Eikton ladies were
going to Philadelplua in tho cars, nrid in
tho scat in front them two. gentlemen
were seared, who were talking iibout Halt
Lake. One of them asked the gentlemen
if they knew Mr. Young and his wife.
They replied they did, and would deliver
the lady s card to Mrs. Young when they
;■ a-iched oi-lt Lake. Mr. John Young was
lately (-ii a voyage to Europe. His wife
came from Halt Luke East with her three
children to meet him on his arrival, May
ing Jit her mother’s till lie lauded. The
card whic h her Eikton friend had sunt
sill the. way to Salt Lake to her ha 1 been
running in her mind all these months,
and it gave her real joy to think that her
memory had not been banished, and that
she was still remembered by one, at least,
in the little town where her young heart
had woven the: c delightful dr* ama of ro
mance which developed in such fearful
danger; so when tho Lord returned to!
New York from across tin* sea she lmd her ;
!n art fixed on comil.g to Klkton, and
bringing him along, and on "Wednesday j
0Y( uing of last, week tho lady who had,
sent the card to Mis. Young nt Salt Luke, i
received a message at tho Howard House j
that n lady requested to see tier. She
immediately repaired thither, and in the
parlor the two ladies met face to face,
l ime had wrought great changes in both,
and they stood regarding, but not recog
ni. ng each other. The wife of the young j
prophet whs tla v first to speak. “Is this;
Mrs. ?” “Yes. lam Mrs. Young
Li;/.io ('anfield when wo wore younger.” \
.Ml res* rvc was at end, and the two friends, i
whom time and untoward events had ;
threatened to place an impassable gulf j
between, rushed into each other’s arms.
The Mormon wife and lu r husband had |
numerous calls while they remained at the
hotel, and she related the chapter of her
life to those who had thus kindly remem-
her. She had insisted, and curried
her point, it . ceim, on being the sole wife
of the man she had l*raved such danger
for; and not satisfied with this, she in
sisted on a marriage in tho Htnt.es in th*'
old style she laid been taught in her girl
hood to honor, and “John” hml to suc
cumb before she would leave Halt Lake,
declaring that she would never face her
former ti lends unless she was married by
the ceremony acknowledged by them to
be proper. And thus she heroically at
tempted to repair the rude shoek her
moral character had received by entering
the community of the Mormons and giv
ing herself a sacrifice to tho monstrous
E rime of polygamy. Ib r fine female sou
. ihilities, tier education, all of that better
nature rebelled against lnr net when the
first, wild dream of romance was broken.
Who can toil of t li<* anguish and tears that
young wife has doubtless suffered V They
can only be computed by the joy of dis
covering that sonic of her girl-dav friends
Ell remember her with the old-time af-
I fin tion.
