An Incident of Mormon Life. R
The St. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette publishes a'

lost his hogs and cattle. lie made a short en
visit from home ami on his return, was in- Pa

lied. He builtbimselfa house in the spring, #I"
fenced in about twenty acres, planted it in 8P
wheat and corn, but the crops failed, and
himself and children were, he said, " com- m
polled to live on boiled greens and weeds? r.u
sometimes a little brand or shorts. In this
way wo rubbed on until harvest." His m
children were now all taken sick with the e"
measles, and he himself prostrated with fel
the typhoid fever. For two weeks there
was little hope of his recovery, and ho was
persuaded to give his two eldest daughters
to a neighbor, who promised to care for .
them. They would not receive the children, 11
however, until deeds of gift were given to
them.
lie was now left alone, with one small m
eick child, and had It not been for the kind- . f
ness of a poor neighbor, he would have per- "
ished from hunger and neglect, and as it J"
was, this child, the last one of his family re- ?
maining to him, died. He was determined ^
to escape from the valley, but was unable,
on account of health and means, to accoinfdish
his purpose. He returned to his 1,1
louse, but was too unwell to cook his own ' *
victuals, and a Scotch woman came and
mixed tip a little shorts and water and baked
it, as lie says, as solid ns ever you saw
bricks, and lie had to uet a hatchet tr? <?m 1
T* nn
it to piece*. he
On this and two quart* of buttermilk lie ^
lived two week*. lie now found that Lis
wife was not dead, as wa? told him, but n R|(
prisoner closely guarded. He contrived (f,,
means for her escape, Attu hid her at ihe pn
house of a friend until he could make ar- to
rnngement* for leaving. By trading off his H|j
farin for a wagon and two mules, the means
were procured for conveying his family out
of the Territory. He first endeavored to escape
by trave|jng North, but was intercep- wli
ted by a hand of Brigham's minions, who Yc
styled themselves M destroying angels," and mr
had it not been for a band of passing Cali- of
fomians. he would have been iol>bed of eve no
rything ho possessed. After many difflcul dn
ties and dangers he escaped by a southern rrx
road to California, not until he had been ?l>
despoiled by the Indians of nearly all his pr<
provisions.

From Oar Correspondents. I
Kansas.?We make the following ex- i
tracts from the letter of ti friend residing at 8
Leavenworth City, K. T.:
44 Wo have quite an exciting time here in {
Kansas. In the first place, some ten days j
ago, the Freo Stato men around Fort Scott, i
(which is in the southern portion of Kansas,)
becamo very troublesome. The pro slavery (
men sent for the U. S. Marshal, to come and (
take care of some prisoners. lie went and i
took tlieni, but the Free State men fired up- i
on liiin, and, it is currently reported, killed 1
the Marshal and aeve.nl of his men, and re- !
took the prisoners. The Free Stato men ]
then went to ditlerent points, and in a very i
short time collected several hundred men. ?
The Marshal, seeing the Fort would bo at- *
tacked, sent to this place for U. S. troops,
n? *
uv-n. mriitjy Maiieu iuur companies to lliat
point immediately. ?
"Jim Lane, hearing of iho disturbances, v
was in Lawrence. He rose at 12 o'clock at n
night, had the cannon tired several times, to "
alarm the pcoplo, who rushed to a place (
whero the drum was boating. Hy next t!
morning Lano was ready to march to the a
scat of war. ?
" We have heard several reports fiorn Fort j
Scott within the last three or four days. We r
heard that Lano had tired upon the troops,
killing sonic eight or ten. (Jpon hearing
this, there were sixteen moro companies or- ||
dered to that point from this place. q
" Lane has placed himself in rather an ?
awkward position. If they do get hold of t
him, they will make quick work with him c
with a chord around his neck. Gen. liar- ?
ney has gone to Fort Scott ir. person, and if
he opens Bra^g'* battery npon Lane, I think f
he will have to up ; ? s^ort order.
44 A# soon as the Free Slate men heard fbis
news, they started out and visited ereh town
and took by forco all the arms held by the '
pro slavery men. They have the whole Tor- *

the shanghai and guinea species. It is
larger than the common guinea-fowl, and #
but little smaller than the shanghai.-? j
It favors the former only in the head and c
neck, and its attempts at ciowing reminds '

the proposition was made accepted, thus

walking museum of curiosities in the w?y c/f
the wampum, tomahawks, bend* and buckskin.
Titer are about the Capitol every daw
and look with silent, almost contemptuous
dignity upon the chattering in our grand
council. They uttered a great many' ugha*
at the color and gilding of the Representor
tive's Hall. One of them, evidently a disci-- p
pie of tho Dred Scott doctrine, in passing:
through the old hall just now, stopped au.
little negro, with an evident eye to the scalping
art, on which I supposed' him to be de*
scanting to one of his companion*, as lietried
in vain to work his fiingers in bisthicfe
wool."

curable disease, Scrofula.
Without being disposed, or deemincr ft

nece*?iirjrf to go into Che perticnlere of the
cam, I can Ray that the aetoniabtng results
that have been produced by that medicine,
oo a member of my own fAmily, and under
my own observation and superintendence, aft*,
after the skill of the best physicians had been
exhausted, and all the usual remedies bad
failed, fully justify me in recommending its
use to all who may be suffering from that
dreadful malady.
I do not mean to say tliat it is adapted to
all constitutions, or that it will afford the
tame relief in all caaes ; for, of oourse I ean
know nothing about that?hot from what 1
have seen of the effects, 1 would not hesitate
to use it in mnx and every case of Scrofula,
with persona tor whom 1 felt an interest, or
3ver whom I could exercise influence or con- & -...
trol. Respectfully yours,
