Show Frovo Items. (Prom our Special lieportor.) We have received premonitory lessons from the old wintry monarch. He has blown his breath upon us, And vines and verdure have wilted. He has walked, under the veiling ol Nox, over the aummtof our moun tains, and his stately Bteppings over the rugged way have been disturbed, i for he left the snowy flakes of bis I mod upon their tops. His preeence, however, has kindly warned us to prepare for his approach, and protect ourselves with fuel and clothing necessary. Undoubtedly he has an eye to the good of merchants as well as the comfort ot his immediate subjects, sub-jects, for overcoats and other comforts com-forts will be in demand. One may guess t ie sudden ob autre experienced by bis presence, as we overheard one of our belles, when going home from the Irving-Nelson concert with her lover, say that she felt really chilly. Whether this was said deaigoedly that her beau should fiing around her his warm embraces, we will not say, but are sure that she was cold, if not cool to him. Tue temple of justice, koown as the First judicial district court, opened its doors wide on Monday, the 17th, in Provo, and the place has become quite lively with tho many devotees who worship and officiate at itsshriue. Qiite a number of cases , are on the docket, which will be quickly dispatched by the hieh Driest ol the temple, Judge P. H. Emetson. This term, having both grand and petit juries, will be one of some importance, im-portance, and some very interesting cases will be tried. Last week Sheriff Turner, with bis uiual consideration, had the phiz of the notorious Wallace Wilkerson taken, by the sunbeams, by our artist, ar-tist, Mr. George Taylor. The likeness like-ness is a good one, but the counteuauce is not such as would impress us with confidence at meeting meet-ing it in a bye place. The perceptive faculties are prominent, with a retreating re-treating forehead; causality Bma!I, comparison larger, and benevolence BtnalJ. Behind the ear shows the organ of deetructiveness large, ilnlesa the barber combed the hair prominently promi-nently in that region. H:s companion compan-ion in solitude, McKinney, a horse thief, had hie shadow artistically taken on the glass too, which will make a companion picture for him. This horse fancier is a smooth toogued fellow, talks freely of his good intentions, inten-tions, and is so bland that, as the artist says, he would make a good missionary. These portraits will, no doubt, be made useful for detecting thsm should they ever escape, wbich is not very likely. This fellow ia as deeply interested in his portrait, though taken for a certain purpose not creditable to him, aa if he was procuring it for a lover. The Brigham Young academy is opened for this term, with about 112 pupila. lhe classes are well organized and the students seem of a superior cUsb steady, thoughtful, studious and respectful. We have no doubt that the eflorts of the tutors will be fell by the itudenta in after life, and that the former may recur, in years to come, with pride to the efficiency and ability of the latter. TheBtudents at this term last year were about fifty only. One interesting feature is that the classes in the higher departments of study were filled up at once. S indents lrom Sanpete and Millard counties attend this term. While the canons of our county are attracting the tourist with their beauty and grandeur deservedly, our fine lake has many ad mi rem and pleasure seekers from city are determined deter-mined to enjoy its broad waters and cruise over its glassy surface from this place to Goshen, which must be a de lightful sail. Several gentlemen have arranged to tale their lady friends a voyage over and arou nd it this seajon, and we know that it will be an enjoyable enjoy-able out iudeed. The finny inhabitants inhabi-tants will keep out of the way, unless some fair hand wiles them on, aa they have many "an odd fish" before now. ! Gorki s. |
