She had been under the care of Dr. C. A. Jelleff, for the last two weeks, who amputated the second finger of her right hand at the carpal bone, for caries of the finger.

A broken I'high. Last Saturday, Benjamin Middleton, I one of our old pioneers, fell while un- i der the influence of liquor and broke the upper portion of the bone of his right thigh. It seems he was talking I ;yith same parties or. the south side of the alley at Pierce’s drug store when he staggered back, striking his foot solidly on the pavement when his, leg gave way and he fell to the ground | Ke was taken to a room in Brake's saloon where Dr. Dorwin set the Ijtrjb. The bane was broken off close to the h>p joint, and a g a ' n about six inches lower down. Tuesday the Dr. visited him and found him iu a bad situation. No reaction seemingly had taken place, and the probability is that he will hardly recover.

Grand Larceny. Orman Friend was arrested on February the 9th., upon an affidavit filed by John Slmaies Gottschalk, of Berne, charging Friend with appropri ating $45-00 of his money.

Mrs. Ann Eliza Young will deliver her popular lecture on Mormonism at Kover’s Hall, Saturday night, Feb, 25, 1882. Mrs. Young was the ninteenth wife of Brigham Young, the Mormon prophet, as he styled himself. Her parents belonged to the Mormon Church, and when he claimed her as bis own she thought it perfectly right, How her eyes became opened, how terrible it seemed to her and how she dared to break away from the great head of the Church, is a story stranger than fiction, which she, the principal in the same, will graphically deliniate. This lecture is, from circumstances surrounding it, the most popular one of the season, everywhere deservedly attraeting crowded houses.

The Indians professed not to bsiiove what he said, but he assured them he would certainly do all he promised, and when the day arrived, it brought a large number of the noble red men to witness the sun's extinction. A few minutes before the fixad by the u«tronQtpefa fur tha observation to begin, the wag mounted himself on an empty sugar hogshead and began hie incantation. Presently the sun began to disappear, and the *‘Boo6 of the forest evinced unmistakable signs of uuewneis which increased V the parfurmane* progressed, until, a short time before the suu disapeared entirely, they rushed upon the magician, exclaiming: “Bad medicine man! put out sun! and would have dispatched him in short order had they not been restrained by the soldier* who had gathered to see the fun.’’
