The Other Side. "I want you to pitch into those Post Office people; give 'cm fits! I sent a letter to Suit Lake threo weeks ago, and k hasn't been received yet." That is a sample of complaints we frequently hear; not about Suit Lake alone, but about many other places at all points of the fompass. Now we are well aware that there is plenty of cause for grumbling on postal matters, but there- aro two tides to every question, and we want to say a word on the other side. Did it ever strike our complaining friends that these are Post Office regulations affecting the public as well as the P.M's. Every letter mailed to any part of the United States weighing half an ounce and under nuit bear a three cent, postage stamp, and an additional three cents is required on every additional half ounce or fraction. "Well," says some impetuous person, "every fool knows that." Not so. There are people who mail letters, sometimes with a two cent stamp and at others with a ono cent stamp, and there are others will put on a revenue stamp, instead of a postage stamp. Those who are so Ignorant of postal matters as to do so seed not be surprised if their letters do ot reach the place designed. A postage tamp cut eut of a stamped envelope cannot be used" on another envelope, neither can a regular postage stamp be nsed twice, whether it has been properly defaced of not by the stamp of the Post Office;. All letters should be addressed plainly, with the full name of the person for whom it is intended, the name of the town, county, State and country for which it is destined. Letters are ported in Ogdcn sometimes with imperfect addresses; the name is omitted, or the lame of the town or State, and sometimes the envelope is blank. Such letters of course do not reach their destination. Then the careless writers waul s to "o for those Post Offico people." We shall return to this subject again. Mutton. The Suit Lake butchers aro calling aloud for Biuttoa. So are the Ogdeu knight of the cleaver. The Salt Lak ers will get what they want, because Uiey advert isa. )e cannot predict the saint success to the Ogdcn unless they advertise too. Eut out of g regard fur them, the niul public and our friends in Cache, JIalad, ana eisewuere, wuo unve so uuiny heep they don't know what to do with them, wo proclaim abroad that there is almest a mutton fatuino in our principal cities. It is time that our stock raisers attend to fattening moat, for the market as a business. There are few cuter-pristhat will pay as well. The demand is growing larger all the time, and as our manufacturing and nutting population increases, farmers and stock raisers will find a brisker market for their produce aud fat beef, mutton, pork and poultry. But quality will Tule tho markets. The railroad is here, ami the days of skinny meat are numbered. If our own cattle raisers will not supply the public taste and appetite, there are enterprising men outside who will. Our farmers must wako up. These are rushing times. Everything is going ahead. The most improved methods of farming and must be learned and practiced here as elsewhere. Clubs should ba organised, agricultural information should be sought and imparted. And it will be found that there is wealth in our rich mountain grasses, tho rootB and grains that can be- - raised in our fertile farms and gardens, and in the onversion of these products into tender, juicy meat for the table. "Meanwhile, wo say to onr friends, remember the mutton. And it would ot be out of place to drop the hint that the printers at this office would have no objection to making their teeth form a junction through a mutton cutlet or a cut from a roast, if those who own thecp and owe for the paper will exercise the attributes of justice aud mercy in our direction. beef-cutte- rs es The Denver News giv?s the particulars of an extraordinary attempt at obtaining a free ride by rail to Massachusetts. On Monday 'last an expressman was requested by a singular looking individual to convey a box to the Express Office. The exprcstuiiari drove his wagon to a house in liolliday Street and took a box, which he found addressed and ready for shipment, to Vells, Fargo & Go's Office. But the agent refused to forward the box unless payment was cither made took or guaranteed. Tho " exprcs-inathe box back, but could not find the man who had engaged him, and thinking something was wrong gave information to the police. The City Marshal went to man the house and found the mia.-in- g In trem box. out the of just getting bling accents he implored the Marshal not to shoot as he had only tried to get n homo. The box was about five foet long, threo feet high, and probably two feet broad. At one end and on one sido were trap doors so carefully concealed by deals which bound the box that it was impossible to detect them from the outside. Insido he had arranged a not ting which was stretched on a frame-worplaced in angular position at ono end. This, covered with Bheepskins, offered rest for his back, and constituted a sort of bed on which he could recline at will, lie was careful to prepare himself for the journey, and had his rations stored away in a secure place. These consisted of five loaves of bread, about two dozen apples, a can of sugar with which to sweeten tho fatigues of travel, probably a string of Bologna sausage, and several other littlo articles. His wardrobe comprised a great coat, a pair of pantaloons, a vt.,t, and a paper dicky, neatly wrapped up in a news paper. His bedding was a couple of blankets. A tut pail was filled with water, and the top neatly and securely fastened, lhece, with another article, "nameless here for evermore," of most ingenious construction, completed his outfit, and thus prepared and safely stowed away he was ready to commence and sanguine of performing his little k, good-size- trip d to tho east. The box was well made and addressed to Mr. F, C. Cross, Newtgn's Comer, Pleaso keep this sido Massachusetts. up." The man, who was no other than Mr. Cross himself, was taken to jail, dad held on the charge of an attempt to rob the Express. There is no proof of any such intention on the part of the prisoner, it is thereforo most probable lie stated thai he will be discharged. that desiring to return to his homo in Massachusetts, and only having $18 in his possession, ho conceived t he idea of getting himoeif f rwarde m fr ight and so constructed the box, fitted it out as abovo describe 1, and after engaging the man to take it lo the office turned iuto the house aud got iuto hi.i hiding place. When tho box arrived at the Express Office it was set on end with his head dowuwards, but ho was ai'raid to call out lest hu should be discovered, and for a few minutes, as he expressed it, he was in a "pretty tight place." Somo enterprising genius placarded tho town with a notice that Cross and his box would be exhibited at a beer ball in tho towu, but as they could not get the man, they had to content them selves with the box, which they pur chased and exhibited to gaping crowds ahead. t two-bit- s If the "man in the box" is not crazy, ho is possessed of great confidence and determination and a lively spirit of adventure, aud we expect to hear that the result of his escapade is a sub scription raised by tho Benvcrites to forward him to his nativo home. He is too smart to keep. e- cattle-fattenin- g Fhom Exlha.nd By letter from Elder John I. Hart of this city now on a mission to England we learn that ho is meeting with good success among his relatives and friends, several of whom hav embraced the. Gospel, and intend to make Utah their future home. Elder Hart is well and desires to be remem- bered to all his friends in Wcbcr ty. Coun- Outrage lit Japan. A correspondent of the New York Tribune writes from Yeddo, Japan, giving an account of an assault which was by experts to discover if any traces of blood could be found,, and they were all required to furnish written certificates to show their whereabouts at the time of the assault. This was carried out among the high and low alike. But though all that could be expected of the Government officials was done, the foreign represen tatives called a meeting in Yokohoma and a memorial was adopted desiring the Japanese Government to disarm all its subjects excepting officers of the highest rank. This impracticable and unjust demand was protested against by the American Envoy, but persisted in by (be others. We consider that the Japanese officials exerted themselves far more under the circumstances than any other Government in tho world would have done. The two wounded gentlemen were not injured fatally, and at the time of the assault they were violating established regulations. Guards are provided for all foreigners who travel through the streets of Ycldo, but Messrs. Dallas and King, though employees of the Government, and therefore under double obligations to observe the rules of the city, dispensed with the attendance of guards and went it alone. Tho responsibility, therefore, rests upon them, and not upon the Japanese Government, and they ought to take the consequences without further trouble to the authorities. Anderson, our correspondent at Portage, Malad, writes under date of Feb. 22: We have had a beautiful winter, more like spring. But last night it commenced raining "ashes," and then the wind shifted from the North, and we had five inches of snow this morning. Stock looking fine, brethren all in good health and spirits, great preparations making for developing the resources of the Territory in the spring, by farming aud mining.
