Show LETTER FROM S.VIXT GEORGE. Ftettulor Correspondence of the Herald. St. Georhi:, Utait, Jan. 1.72. Doit Herald: we have returned !) sniiny "Dixie," and uotwithstartdiug we highly prize our most excellent friemls io the north, wo are rij;lit glad aaia to see our IViond.i here, our plcasiint , city, t he vrarra un-ihine, and even th.-. barren JierLs and warm locking red rocks. We had a ijuod h ip utid shun one lumia, escipiuj ilie .storms und had road-, and met hosts of i'riends, in the holiday merry-making, with dmile.s as warm and gonial our own "Dixie" sunshine. On the li'jth u!(. ihe hton..-woilviM on the Tabernaele piueed the lust stone upon the tower of that uianifioeut structure, 'mid the roar of cannon and Keneral rejoicinc, singing praibe and thanksgiving; and in the evening were entertained with a festival parly, much j hilarity and good Jeelinir. j Last evoniug the new leap year opened open-ed with a splecduijieapyear parly, givea by the young ladies of this city, the ladies in all eases inviting their male partners, ealling for them, jiroviding euteriaimnent and in fact managing tho party throughout, thus entirely reversing re-versing the ordinary rules of gallantry. The managing committee consisted of M bises V oung, Snow, Crosby and liraneh, and was characterized with ability, order, comfort and muoh salis-faction salis-faction ; and the festival was most inviting in-viting and excellent. Lat U suffice, furl her to say, we were a guest. The work of excavating for the temple progresses daily, hut a difficulty, difficul-ty, in the oh ape of a spring of water, has been uncovered, making it necessary neces-sary to cut a deep drain or ditch all around the foundation, and awaj' from the promises, which has to be walled and covered before work on the walls commence. The roof of the tabernacle is nearly ; shingled, and tho sash and doors to enclose en-close the building are king made ready. t It is interesting to note the precocity preco-city of some of the pet members of McKean A: Co's ring, and how apt as scholars of so worthy an expounder, and adjudictor of the "law (and gospel) some of his pupils have become. A ease in point recently occurred in thia vicinity. One of the judge's released jail bird?, in passing from here north, began to get tired of looting it.so as he passed Beilevuo he helped himself to a valuable marc, belonging to Mr. J. H. Johnson, of Bellcvue, rode it off to Cedar city, and as he feared to ride her farther on account of somo vulgar prejudice of some ignorant people in regard to ownership, ho sold the animal ani-mal to an Indian, traded the skins he received for her for something lighter, and started lor Pioche. Poor ignorant ignor-ant "Lo" found himself and skins sold at the same time. The main difference between this fimcy gent and your Salt Lake "ring" is this : the one is a "one horse" scamp and couldn't wait; the others go a big team, and can stand it a little time longer. Yours, J, |
