Thay Convert Ihe Wife and Aon or a l'roinl n ant A tahamo Citizen. Oxford. Ala., March 1.—[Special.]—About twenty miles aoutheatt of this place, along the upper part of flay county, lies a small valley, about twelve miles In length and from three to five mile* in width, and known a. Shinbone rallry. Near the renter of tht, picturesque little valley, upon a thickly wooded ridge, and near the Ashland road, standi a small log bouse, known a. Oak Bulge schoolhouse. The school bouse was built in 1833, by tho citizens of the valley, for the purpose of a school and church house, open to all religions denominations. ELDER KASIAII APPEARS. Tho second week of July, 1881, it was an nounccd to tho citizen, of Shinbone valley that on the following Sunday Elder Kashth, of Utah, would preach At Oak Bulge school bouse. Tho elder preached according to ap- E ointment, and a few days later he was jolnod y Eldcia Stevens and Mootry, and the throe at once went systematically to work to make converts to Mormonlsm. Elder Mootry la a native of Randolph conn ty, Ala.; and he found a nephew by the uatno of Thomas Mitchell Jiving in 8kInbone valley. Mitchell was easily ronvorted to Mormonlsm and his house at onro became tho headqaar- ten of the elders. CONVERTS MADE. Mr. J. M. Landers was teaching school at Oak Ridge nt this time, but shortly alter the arrival of the ciders, liis wife and ion Joined, themselves to the little hand of Mormon con verts. Being bitterly opposed to Mormonlsm, and having failed to prevent bis wife frolm joining them, Linders abandoned his school, hid fsrcwcll to wife and friends, and wont to tho home of his daughter lu the nortborn part of tho date. In the fall of 1884 Elders Kaslab, Mootry and Stevens returned to Utah and their places were tab eh by Elders DcLsmeyer, Foam, En gel and Davie, and during the year 1833 tho work was carried on vigorously, and a number of new converts were made. The work was carried on very quietly, the meetings being held at private residences, and' little attention was paid to either tho Mor mons or their work, until growing bolder with sncceis they began to make themselves obnozlona to the better class of citizens; thon a committee was appointed to wait on the elders and request them to leave. To this re quest they replied: “We ahall not leave and you dare not attempt to drive ns away, for the laws of the United States will protect ns.” EXPLAINING THEIR FAITH. The homes of the plain, but kind hearted,, people of this valley are over open 'th the' stranger, and the Mormon elders in the gulao of travellers gain entnneo to every house, bnt when tboy make known thotr business and are not well received they seldom call again. They leave nt every houso a little twenty-five page pamphlet entitled, "doctrines of tho church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints, by- Elder John Morgan.” This book contains their articles of (kith and gives an account of the ravelttlons made to Joseph Smith; also claims that Monuonltm is tho only true religion. When a person joins them the elden give him what they rail their "myitlc sign,” which con sists of a paper upon which Is written their ar ticles of faith and tho name of every convert In that section. The possession of this proves the owner a true “saint.” One of their most enthusiastic converts in Shinbone valley is W. J. Conger. Living upon Conger’s farm la a yonng man by the name of Bolling, who baa been very bitter towards the elders and their converts. About six weeks ago Bolling found a paper near his home which stated that Mormonum was the only true religion, and that unless he' joined them within thirty days and used his influence to get his neighbors to join, he must leave that rectlon of country. The paper was signed by all of tho elders, by Conger aud a number of other converts. Bolling has not left, and statod to your cor respondent that ho did not Inteud to leave, and to far 1.0 effort has boon made to force him to leave. MORE CONVERTS MADE. Lut September or October Elder Davis came over Into Cboccoloco valley, within live miles of this place (Oaford). and in a short tlmo he was joined by Elder Allrad, who came direct from Utah. In a little while they had made converts of James Tillman and his wife, and later on Hiram Harrison and hla entire family. Tillman icon became much enthused with his new religion, and declared that he “thank ed the good Lord for sending Mormon elders to teach him the truo religion.” Eldon Darla and AUrad spent most of their tlmo while In this section at the homea of Tillman and Har rison, and a few nights ago a committee of cit izens surrounded Harrison’s honso and called for Ihe oldors. They happened to boapendlng that night at the house of Thomas Richards, and the committee, not flndlng the objocts of their March, notified Harrison that ha mutt not let the elden atop at his honso again. A NOTE Or WARNING. The next day Harrison bought a gun and a supply of ammunition and hit ion wrote the following nolo to' the citizens: “Come to our boose anothor night and tome of yon will eat break hut In boll tha uaxt morning.” _ , After writing the notice, young Harrison •hot a pistol ball through tho paper and thon stock it on tha gate post of a man ha supposed was one of the committee of citizens. Elders Allrad and Davit will probobably undon this Held of labor at an early day. Tha Shinbone valley elden were reinforced in January by Elders Butler and Wilson, and In that section they have tanght not only their converts bnt many other ignorant people, to believe that the entire territory of Utah la the exclusive property of the Mormon church, and that it is a land overflowing with riches, long life and happiness, and naturally most of their converts arc anxious to get there as soon os possible# The elder* have very little to say shoot polygamy and tell their converts that only church officials nr any pious members are al lowed to have more than on* wife. The elden an fell and clothed by their con verts and alto receive regular installments of money from Salt Lake City. THE EBKJLT ACCOMPLISHED.

Tho Theory That Two Nonrnes Committed tho Crime. From the Athens, Ga„ Banner. The Banner.Watchman has always contend ed that it did not believe the Manldin boy at Toccca was murdered by Fred Freeman, and that if Fred shot him at all ’twos an accident. While ata hasty glance tho chain of circum stantial evidence seemed conclusive, a careful examination of the snrmnudlngs of the mnr- der dots away with many of tho surmises. Wo learn from an anthcntic sonrro that Major Freeman and family have' been greatly annoyed by aplea hanging around their premises at night, think ing that Fred might return and they conld thus secure his blood money. Major Freeman hat been very patient, and stood much more than most nteu would have endured. Inti mate friends of the Freemans say when tha time comes that Fred will ho brought homo and turned over to the legal anthorltlea, but this will not bo done until the excitement Is allayed, aa tho child’s life would probably not he safs where there la ao much indignation against him. , But In the last day or so fresh light bat been thrown on the killing of young Mauldin, that has wrongbt a wonderful change In public opinion, and many believe It will result In tho entire vindication of Fred Freeman from the horrible charge under which he now labors. Two notorious negro gamblers, w|to had their headquarters in the cabin where the murder took place, suddenly and without apparent' cause disappeared the day after the desth of Mauldin, and no trace of them can bo had. It Is now believed by many thit tho negroes are tho real murderers of tho child, and that the dastard ly deed was committed because tho dead boy had discovered evidence to ronvlct them for gambling, and they decided It best to quietly K it him out of tho wav. It Is now a settled et that the hogs did not sever Manldln's head from the body and remove tho skin from the head so nicely, but that It wna the work of human fiends. Fred Freeman had no weapon by which he eoulil do this, afld not a spot of blood waafbund on his clothes. Again, when suspicion rested on Fred, and his parents de cided to send him off, he at once posi tively refused to go, saying that he knew nothing about tho killing of Manldin. lie is now in a safo retreat, where he will remain until ready for trial. Ha atill persists in declaring hia Innocence, and begs to he permitted to return to Toccoa. Wo trust and believe that the mystery will soon bo cleared away, and the elond that hangs over he distressed famllyllfted.

Iiev. T. K. Tierce, of tho North Alabama conference, told your correspondent a atory, which la substantially aa follows: One fine morning in 18433, before day, bis father, who then lived in Toscaloon county, Alabama, sent him and hit brother, both small boys, to a Ash trap, in a creek near by, with instructions to accme any flsh found In It and bring them home for breakflut. They went to the trap and took from 11 a mess of fine fish. and. as they had plenty of leisure, they built a tiro on the bunk of tho oreek and amused them, selves was aeon shy playing in the sand.

It was purchased from Texas at a tlmo when that state bad more domain than ehe could see any usa for. The United States wanted It to carry out an early agree ment with the Iudlatis, by which the tribos placed ou rcaervatlous were to have a runway or outlet to reach the buffalo country when they wanted to go hunting. Mr.JIale's ^prop- Texts osltlon Is presented lu the form of a joint olutlon lo enter into negotiations with T to sell aud oede enough of the I’amhandle to make with “No Man's Land” a body large enough for a respectable territory. It U pro- x»cd to lake, Texubeing willing, tbo part of :be Pan-handle lying above the Canadian river. This wuuld add 0,019,200 aoru to tho atrip, and tho territory of Cimarron would bo at least big enough to contain ila name spoiled out on tho maps. Professor Wiaorira, the celebrated Canadian weather prophet, said In a recent Intorvlow that In August last he prcdlcted-tlis• winter of 1880 would be unusually cold und stormy on account of the planet Saturn being In perihe lion. Tho planet, ho said, had forced tho Oulf stream out of Its course and nearer tho Ameri can shore, which accounted for the lack of snow in the maritime provinces this winter. He also predicted some months ago a heavy storm on the nierifllsu of London on March 3, which would reach America on March 7, ac companied by high tide*. He says: “It will be lively” In the mailtlmo provinces next Sun day, and be Is curious to know howSsturn will ralso the tides at Quebec, Halifax andSL John. He added that In March violent north west winds across the North American conti nent always precede a dangerous storm In the Atlantic ^ According lo Do Voe, tho meteorologist, we may look ont for some bad weather. March will enter, worm and foggy, over a' large portion of the United States, except down la Florida; there tho pooplo may look for share frosts between the first and third. Abent the third a severe storm will form back in Kansas, and move aerera tbo country straight for Washington, D. G„ and it will •trike tho Atlsntlo coast about the fifth, nnd there will be heavy southeast gales and floods in the southern states. Bnt north of latltndo 38° the storm sriU bo now, and a snow block ade will occur over a large portion of the United Statee. This storm will strike New York dty about the fifth, and all raerehanta having goodatoablp should take Uma by the forelock. Immediately following this storm there will bo a cold wave that will make everything map and creek. The center of this storm will crou the Atlantic ocean to Kuropo be tween latitude* Si® and 40», aad vessel* crossing tho Atlantic ocean should keep north of latitude 43°. Between the fith and lOth heavy showers will fall in England, and in Scotland about tho 10th, and flood* in Franco and Germany about the tamo date. After tho loth the weather will become remarkably warm In tha United States. Between thalOlh and 15th a heavy storm will form over the lower lake region and move eastward, causing de structive floods In tho state of Maine aud lu Canada cast, and drum fogs at New York city and along tho New England coast This storm will cross ths Atlsntlo ocean, and cause floods In England about tbo 20tb. About tho life a- cyclone will form la the South Atlantic oeeani aad move up tha gulf stream, uitaiug heavy: northeasterly gala* along tho Middlo Atlantic •fates, and unusual high tide* at New York' city and Long Branch, followed by a sharp cold wave, which will strike New Yurk about the 22d.
