Cardon, the Elders; and Bishop B. M. Lewis, the Priests. The Y. M. M. I. Associations of the First, Third and Fifth wards were reported respectively by J. H. Brown, Jr., W. Watterson and A. Anderson.<br><br> In the afternoon, reports were given of the teachers' quorums of the various wards, by the presiding elders. The Deacons' quorums of the Second and Fourth wards were reported by their president. J. M. Blair and C. W. Nibley reported the Y. M. M. I. Associations of the Second and Fourth Wards respectively. A statistical report of the First ward was read by ?. D. Carpenter and remarks on the same made by Bishop Lewis. J. A. Leishman read a report of the Second Ward, and Bishop Ballard made comments upon the same. Bishops F. Davidson, T. X. Smith and Wm. [William] Hyde gave verbal reports of the condition of their wards. Remarks by President Preston and Apostle Thatcher closed the day's services.<br><br> At the ?? meeting on Sunday, the Sunday School superintendents of the wards made reports of the condition of their schools, and Stake Superintendent O. C. Ormsby presented a statistical report of the schools of the city and made suggestions in regard to conducting exercises etc. J. A. Leishman read reports from the U. O. M & R. Co., of the First ward Y. M. M. I. Association and of the Relief Society for the past six years. Apostle Thatcher and Elders C. O. Card and W. Geddes, agent for the Deseret News each spoke a short time, and meeting was then closed.<br><br> On Sunday afternoon, Elders P. W. Hurst and John B. Thatcher reported the labors of the Home Missionaries throughout the Stake.<br><br> Apostle M. Thatcher opened his remarks by expressing his pleasure in feeling the influence of the spirit of God in the conference; said he would give an account of the introduction of the Gospel in Mexico. Stated that a Greek physician residing in the City of Mexico having some anxiety in regard to religion, prayed to the Lord for aid; and it was made known to him that he should receive the desired information from some book. Some days after, a small boy brought a book to him and induced him to purchase it. This proved to be a portion of the Book of Mormon which had been translated into the Spanish language by Elder M. O. Trejo. Feeling an uncommon interest in this work, he wrote to the translator for further information; and Bro. Trejo referred him to President John Taylor. Communication was then carried on for about a year, which resulted in the calling of Elders to Mexico. After the Elders had reached their destination, the physician was soon baptized and proved to be a useful man, as he could speak seven different languages. The speaker gave an account of a miracle that was performed through the agency of an Italian who had received the Gospel. After referring in a touching manner to the great sin existing among the saints in the way of tale-bearing and speaking evil of each other, all who ?? their hearts to teach it in this regard, were called upon for an expression on such intention by raising the right hand. (Nearly all in the congregation raised their hand.)<br><br> President W. B. Preston spoke of the feeling which seemed to be growing among the people, of screening evil doers by refusing to testify against them. Said this was not according to the spirit of the Gospel, but an element in all opposition to the work of God.<br><br> [Advertisements]<br><br> A FALSE STATEMENT has been made to the effect that the Logan Meat Market had made an advance in the price of Meat. Notwithstanding the high price for fat animals, we sell at the old prices.

As announced in last week's Leader, Paul Cardon, Esq., will soon open a hotel in Logan. This is a step in the right direction. Our city has many visitors; and, in the summer time especially, is a very popular resort. By having good hotels with ample accommodations, Logan will be enabled not only to sustain her reputation as an enterprising town; but will also be enabled to secure much of the patronage of those who leave larger cities at certain seasons, for the purpose of hunting, fishing, &c. The location of the new house is a very convenient one. It is large and well arranged. The proprietor is well respected in this community. He cannot fail to give satisfaction to those who may have occasion to visit his establishment. Improvements are now being made on the premises; and soon the house will be furnished. Success to the new departure!<br><br> LAKESIDE LIBRARY I have just received 200 numbers of this popular library, which I sell at from 10 to 29 cents per number. J. T. Hammond, Bookseller and Stationer. jan9 tf <br><br> A NEW DEPARTURE. Having been encouraged by the leading men of Logan to commence a Hotel, and realizing that the needs of the public require another such house, I have concluded to open a place of entertainment. My establishment is centrally and conveniently located, being ?? on Third, between Main and Washington Sts. and I am satisfied that it can be made a First Class Hotel.<br><br> I expect to open the House between the 15th of April and the 1st of May.<br><br> In addition conveyances will be kept for the use of guests and for those who desire to take trips to the Settlements and Canyons surrounding. ?? notice will be given to the public of the exact time of opening.

On Thursday evening, as Mr. Edgar Stone, of Lynne was walking home from the depot in Ogden, on the Utah and Northern track, he discovered in in one of the bridges two ties which had been fastened in the ice below and projected through the bridge some two feet above the track. He removed the obstacles and had no sooner done so than the noise of the northward bound passenger train was heard, and it passed the bridge a few minutes afterward. It had been Mr. Stone's custom to ride home on the train, which leaves Ogden at 6:40, but feeling chilly and desiring to reach home as soon as possible, he did not wait for it this time, and it was well he did not, as the train would certainly have been wrecked if he had been on instead of ahead of it. We hope the perpetrators of the dastardly act will be detected and punished.-Junction.<br><br> WHEN YOU visit Salt Lake City do not fail to call at the agency for home made goods in the Old Constitution Building, and examine the stock of Flannels for Dresses and Plain and Twilled Flannels.

A gentleman named Saulisbury discovered an egg in his barn, bearing the following terrible words, "War in 1881." The characters seemed as if blown in the shell; and people began to think that some prophetic hen had uttered this novel warning. After the excitement had reached fever heat, it was discovered that the letters had been made by some genius who knew how to use hot grease and cold vinegar.<br><br> SHILOH'S System Vitalizer cures Dyspepsia, Inactive Liver, Sour Stomach, &c.

In defiance of the ordinance relating to the matter, several individuals whose cattle have died recently in Logan, have dragged the carcasses into the suburbs of town and left them by the roadside without burial. This is wrong and if allowed to continue would have the effect to breed disease and pestilence. The proper authorities have therefore concluded to take determined action and compel people to either bury their dead cattle or carry them to some deserted place outside of the city, where their foul odors cannot annoy human beings; and where their decay will not result in sickness for our citizens.<br><br> J. HAYBALL, Anatomical Bootmaker, Logan. <br><br> INFORMATION WANTED.

Exceeds in Durability, Beauty, Brilliancy and Fire Proof Quality any other paint made. Its Cost Is no more than pure lead and oil-which is unmixed and not ready for use-whereas the Enamel Paint is all ready for use, will cover more surface than any other paint, giving no trouble or waste in matching, possessing greater beauty, and outwearing any other-facts which warrant us in the assertion that for a period of ten years it will save the consumer fully Fifty per Cent. As a House Paint It is the most perfect substance known, possessing unsurpassed beauty, great brilliancy of color, adhering firmly to the wood, and giving the richest, most agreeable and uniform tints. Our Wagon and Machinery Paints From the finest vermillion to the cheaper colors, are specially fine. Every person owning a wagon, or any kind of machinery, should keep a can of it on hand, and occasionally give them a fresh coat of paint. It would take but a few hours time, while it would add to the durability and appearance of the articles a hundred times its cost. Its convenience of Form is Readily Apparent Being already mixed of the proper consistency to put on, requiring no thinner, and of any required shade or color, and in any quantity desired, aside from its other advantages, makes it desirable for Farmers and others who may not be skilled in the art of mixing and tinting, but who wish to do their own painting. The use of these paints obviates the necessity of procuring skilled labor, as any one can apply them. With this paint the consumer has to purchase no oil, pigments or dryers. He has no mistakes in shading to correct, and it is only necessary to ascertain the number of square yards to cover and the shade to apply, which can at once be purchased, so mixed that it will spread evenly, flow smoothly and dry rapidly. These facts together with there being No Waste, make it the most convenient paint ever made. Put up in 1/4, 1/2, 1 and 5 Gallon Packages, and in Barrels, Pure White, and any shade of color desired. Also Eureka Paint in 1 and 2 pound cans, same quality as Enamel. Send for sample card of colors and price list, which are mailed free on application, to G. F.
