Show LETTER FROM ST. GEORGE.' ;R2iil;ir CurrciiKiiUinco o: ih Jierul-L: Sr. Gf.iiP.gi:, Nov. jrh, 171; ihor UrrM Tins h lb third dy of our autum- : nal Conforme.', and an ius been usual upon such occasion, it i.i acoul, winily, cloudy time, and lat night snow foil upon the mountains around in sight, which gives us, individually, the shivers . and decides us that we should like to emigrate to a country so far south that wo might get out ofsisht of snow. We 1 really piiy you poor follows up there, ; who are obliged to remain where the wintry harvest are bleak fields of snow, which the winds gal her for you and the sua only cures. I-ut so long as you are blessed (?) with a crop of legal lore, you ought to kefp yourselves your-selves warm, thn'vhirtf, or if not, in being threnhtJ, ! By-the-by, wouldn't it pay to establish estab-lish in your city a law Ht-hooi for the enlightenment of the world generally, und all republican governments particularly, par-ticularly, in the of:W and improved codes of practice promulged by, and practiced by McKean, Ba-kin & Co. tho most opinionated of the profession? profes-sion? One of our speakers to-day contended con-tended that these legal gentry were a uaeful and valuable portion of our population, pop-ulation, illustrating the caso most happily hap-pily in the following manner: . A lather la-ther may havo sons that require chastisement; chas-tisement; then a whip is a useful and very necessary article. It is used, the children are severely punished; then, it beinij over, the parent, sad at the necessary infliction of pain,brcakcs tho rod to pieces and tosses it into t he firo. All right! Wo accept the position, receive the scourging of McKean & Co., to the satisfaction of the nation, remembering what will be the end of iho rod. And we hope tho sisters will take this understanding and view of tho case, before they put their veiled threat ; into execution. Poor whip! the cracker is already burnt with violent use, and iho stub and stock will soon follow to the flames. Ambitious but unfor-' , tunato implement of torture! your end is smaller than your preface; you will , soon be von est and your epitaph briefly written rest quiet cats in pace. To-morrow tho ground for the temple tem-ple here will be broken, consecrated and set apart for the sacred purposo, and ore many days material will begin to accumulate and tho work of construction construc-tion commence. Tho people are awako and alive to the work, and will push it on to tho extent of their ability. Since- last writing wo havo had a visit from another party of Navajoos, about 10 in number, with intent Ecaceful, and anxious to exchange lankots for horses or other property thoy might desire. From present indications in-dications we shall havo an oarly winter, win-ter, and perhaps colder than usual, We notice the Bishops J'rom the various wards and settlements of southern south-ern Utah in attendance at conference, who report peace and prosperity generally gene-rally among tho saints. 'The congregation each day has been large, notwithstanding the unpleasant stale of tho weather. The Rio Virgin manufacturing Go. and Canaan Co-operative Stock Co., hold their annual olcotions for officers here rcconlly, but with what result, we have not been informed. Adios. J. |
