“of darkness, polygamy and slavery,” he contended that the mission of the Repub- ilzcan party was not complete} until both ’had disappeared. Our neighbors are evi 'rlently bent upon abolishing a harbarism alike disgraceful to them as a nation and to -the age in which they live. Although [from its first foundation the Mormon church has incuclated upon her followers the most hideous and sinful doctrines, it was not until 185:! that the practice of a plurality .of wives was first recommended. From tthat dime, strange to say, the sect has -rapiilly increased in numbers until it now ’boasts of an army able to thwart the cf. :forts of its enemies, and to maintain un- polluted by Gentile pressure tne doctrines of the prophet Smith and the rule of Brig- ham Young. Senator Craigin seems to be in favor of putting this boast to the test. The Mormons are kept in stern subjection ~by their chief apostle, and should the gov- ernment endeavor to sweep Salt Lake city with the besom of destruction they will dis- cover this to their cost. A hostile move- ment on the part of the United States troops would cement the factions with which *the Church is torn and rouse the saints, who would fight with the fanaticism 'of Mamelukes. The only safe way of crush- ing the sect is to oust the chief from his sanctuary. Let Bzigham be removed and 1he Salt Lake “confederation of vipers,” as dhe wrathful Craigin dubbed the church, must collapse. Even should the Mormons think proper to select a new leader, their choice would probably fall on Joseph Smith’s son, who is a strong anti-bigamist, .a reapectable American citizen, an em- p‘ioyee of the American government, and not likely, therefore, to adopt any practices which wouldreuder himself and his fol- lowers obnoxious to our neighbors. Their endeavors, whether peaceful or warlike, to wipe out the stain of polygamy cannot be too highly commended by civilized nations.

During the past few weeks quite a number of pe0ple, and very young chil- dren especially, have died from scarlet fever in various parts of Perth. In some places the disease appears as “a mild kind of fever” simply, but in the major- ity of cases it assumes its most contag- ions and malignant shape, and carries off its victims in a‘ few days. One case is shown where the whole family were swept away in less than a month. In the neighboring counties the same story is heard, and in several instances it has been found necessary to close public Whatever may he the special demon of dcstructiveness that holds possession of some wretch near Benton Harbor, Mich, his malice is yet nnappeased,and the girdling of 300 fruit trees, for the fifth time, on the property now owned by Mr. Hunter, is reported.

In the exercise of this privilege, we doubt the proprie- ty of appointing a Civil Governor of the territory at this juncture of its af- fairs.

CORRESPONDENCE. H4Oo-oâ€"4 NIX. A death- by hydrophobia, under singu- lar and very distressing circumstances, oc'Curr'ed at Yonkers yesterday morning. An engineer by the name of Thomas 5 Lamb, who has been employed for Some {time past in Otis’ factory at Yonkers, 5 was bitten January last by a large dog belonging to Mr. Bergen. Lamb’s hand was not much lacerated by- the dog, and no anxiety was felt regarding any serious consequences that might arise from the bite. The dog, a very valuable one, was, however, killed by Mr. Bergen. On Tuesday of last week young Lamb was married to the object of his choice, against the wishes of her mother, who at once 'visited the young couple and ekpressed her feelings in pretty hard language, winding up, as it is asserted, with the wish that her daughter would he a widow within three months. On the day after the wedding, the husband shoWed symptoms of hydrophobia, and two physicianswere immediately sent for, and their treat ment for a while appeared to have good eifeet; but. subsequently Lamb sprang from his bed and fled to the woods, where he carried on all sorts of antics, jumped over fences, and barked like a dog.

The village is not morei'than a stone’s throwifrom the station, and consists mainly of one 'long dirty, irregular lane, at the trip of which is the church.

During the night a boat was rowed under the gunwales of the Algoma, the {sentry on board which observing chal- l Ienged the occupants, but receiving no answer he fired, with what result is not known. The boat Was rowed quickly away and disappeared in the darkness. This episode added fresh fuel to the ex- citement previously inaugurated by the passage through the canal of the sup- posed Fenians. New everybody is on the gm’ visa for something decided to oc- cur, and the suspense is Something awful. A scene 'of unparalleled Confusion and excitement prevailed when the shot of the sentry was heard in the ‘camp, all the men ha'd been in 'a sleepless state, owing to the anticipated attack by the Fenian‘s, and when the shot was heard it was supposed to be the commence- ment of a battle or skirmish, and there- upon supervened a scene which is in- describable in the narrow limits of a telegraphic despatch. The events of last night have cornpletely changed the aspect 'of ah‘airs here which Were pre- viously rather dull and monotonous, but now we may expect lively times. The grounds for the belief that the Fenians contemplate amassing force to intercept the expeditionary fares are daily being strengthened, and those Canadians in authority here are beginning to realize the fact that the preposed force will be much too weak in numbers to cope with the barriers and difliculties which are hourly cropping up in front of them.â€" The probability is that the force will have to fight its Way up from Fort Wil- liam. Many of the men are already somewhat despondent at the unhopeful prospective. There Was intense excitement last night a Fenian attack being seriousiy anticipated. So great indeed was the fear that a collision was imminent, that the local volunteer ferc'e's were warned to be ready to turn out at a moment’s notice.
