No new case of d phtheria but the child who hai the d. tease has died. We have a letter rf indignaJoel f.om one tion in reply t of our ctizens which will appear on Friday. A NEFARIOUS SCOUNDREL. At different times lately reports have reached in of a parly g going through th county acts o: pe.ty la.ceny by obtaining goods under lube Athe reports were not we did n..t fully authenlic.it.-dt them, fearing give publicity that we might be piennture in and appreiioii.-ion- s arousing did wheie it opprobrium casting not belong. Ou Friday evening last, however, our previous reports were confirmed by learning that a wariant h id been issue I from Justice barters Couit, Moroni, charging one Sagers with obtaining goods under false pretenses. etc. (Mr. Hansen of tli .t the Ft. Green also clia-ge- s lame party obtained goods undtr fdse statements from him, but that he did nut care to prosecute the case at his own expense as he knew the party hud nothing.) The culprit it seems after go ting at different goods fahtly an to the public dates added it injury by iudu mig a woman, the undivorced wife of another man and a of Ft. Green, to accompany him South. The two traveled as far south as Sterling where after repeated impurtun-ing- s and pitiable expres-ion- s they were given a farm to work on shares Sagers slating that his wife's father would soon jon him and lint t he two would do the work. Mitters with th s anomalous household ran along coni-mitin- pie-tense- s. - . 1 in-u- re-ide- nt for a fsw days Without decision-in- g much comment, ihe old gentleman doing most of the work mid Sagers posing as tl e high Sachem, it appears, however, that Sugeis was not yet satisfied with nis conduct. He found some excuse 10 make two or three trips lo Juab. As a trophy of one of these he brought back a roan(orgny) hor-- e alleging to have received it on a debt, though he had previously stated that lie parties owing the debt were in Tintic. On the second trip lie secured a mare and Colt, all three of which he has dit-p- se of, some lo pay liquor bids and the other to enable him 'o live. To cap the climax however this heinous wretch induces his nominal wifes sister, a girl of about 10 or 17 yea s, to go with him to Juab on one of his trips (we think it was the third) and while gone himself and the girl were couipelle to ca up out two or three nights Ins nominal, but now re diy deserted, w.fe the while visiting several of tiie families oi Sterling deploring the conduct of her husband and sister. The arrest of this insulter of public decency on Friday lat did not occur a moment too soon, ns tne people of Sterling were becoming jusdy indign uit at his nefarious conduct, and a number of responsible citizens have omphadcdly and eunestiy assured us that graver and more fellonious charges than obt lining goods under false pretenses ought a ul uiiil iutbedly will be made ogam t him. Since being arrested, the fel.ow has been incarcerut d in the county j ul but is now undergoing u trial at Moroni. We trust that the Attorney and other o'lieers of the county will search these ina.t rs to the very bottom and give this pe.sou ta undei-stah- d that the pub.io order of our county cannot be run over and trampled down with impunity and tout society demands that oflfenseS of this kin slia.l be eumiuaiily and severely dealt with. Since writing the above we learn that Sagers has been bound over by Justice Enter to await he action of the Grand Jury.

Instead ofbeing boycotted Joel received too many favors and too much by bis friends in Manti partly because of li s gentlemanly beiring and partly on account of his re atives here, who are respected and honored citizens. He next says the leaders and prominent men have worked for Ins overthrow because he did not ask consent, etc. Now in contradiction lo this statement we shall say IhafJot himself informed us the first day lie opened, that the highest official of the Church in Manti, namely Pres, Maiben, was his first customer, paid the cash for his goods and wished him success. In contradiction to his npxt statement the action of members of the Church on Sunday last at which time lie was severed from the Church is sufficient. He w .8 a member of the Chinch up to t nit date, hence coaid not be eu and nobody ever said that lie was. At his auction none of the leading men of the Church were pres in, or if so, they escap d our notice, and no one said anything abut his worthless jewelry, only at one time as the auct ioneer liel up a ret of sleeve but'ons and the worthless things fell to pieces in his hand and bedashed to the ground, several parties then laughingly rem irked the circumstance. And instead of frowning down, or discouraging the ede of the popular authors, (Di kens, Sc tt, Cooper, etc.,) a short lime before the opening of Joels Depot, at a meeting at the opening of the Young Mens Libiary and Reading, Room, the princip il men of the town (ecclesiastically) suggested those very works atno ig otners as good reading and favored their I; s a f ict th it they discouraged the Uae of his Nickel Library of who are to 1 ab-ur- d, ed 1 apo-mf- e, I u-- e.

Joel heard it. Lastly he speaks of the way he was treated here and compared it with his treatment elsewhere, now on this score we shall only say, that if lie was ever heated better than he was in Manti lie is t lie luckiest Joel in existence, and we would like to be in his shoes (in the manner of but not as a 6callas us) wag dont niisuiide-stan- d and share in his good luck.as we term it. To conclude. Instead of being driven out of Manti many of our citze. s have tried lo per-8ide him to st y, and some have even made him propos.tions to help increase his small business, but under the pretext of his ill health and not boyco.ting he claimed he must go to the states. When Joel left here he had many fiiend, hut the I'bove letter has changed tneir opinion and if in Manti, he h is one fiiend left we do not know it. All biand him as a hypocrite and a liar; an ungrateful' liar, inasmuch as he lias partaken of the people's .hospitality and favors and then gone and inisiepresent-e- d them anil lied in a manlier to put to 6hame Eli Perkius him-se.U f. lie left a wife here, an estimable young lady and to whom he had been but a short time married and who has the best wishes, sympathy and respect of the whole community. By many lie has been considered as a spy, who came here with the intention of finding out 8 miethiiig for a sensation and in his exbeing pectations tie manufactured as great a heap of falsehood-- ns he could possioly put together and gave them to the world. Be this as it may, at one time he said to a stranger in our heating that the Rev Iliff and other gentlemen of Sait Lake with whom I am intimately acquainted does not know that I am a Mormon and I do not wish them to know it. The gent.eman af.erwar.ls remarked that a man of that kind would bear watching. But he is gone and in a shoit time his sensational falsehoods w 11 have passed, but the eligma of them will c.ing to him as long as be lives and those things will .stare him ill the face when he leas! expects it. - I THE I Studetaker Wagons Are celebrated for their lightness of draught, strength and durability.
