Show LETTER FLtOM ST. GEORGE. Regul.ir Corref pondenee of the Herald. St. George, Oct. 2CJ, 1S71. Herald: Since last wriiitiy we Iiave had a "cold snap," briofiiDa little frost, wliicli "played hob" with our tender plants and some of the beautiful bloom of flowers; and yet wc still haje enough left for a line show and nosegays nose-gays ad infinitum. The foliage of corn, aorgum, grape-vincd, etc., is generally killed with frost, and withering in true autumn style, while lucern and most fruit trees arc still sporting a verdant ver-dant sheen; and as weather u again mild we may expect a month or two of uutuuin weather, a month of mild, siiowless winter, then cornea the teeming teem-ing spring and gladsome green, and iioweivi bursting into fresh and fragrant fra-grant bloom; then may wc all bo joyous as the bird-song and go forth in renewed re-newed strength, to bring forth from nature's profuse bounties the comforts and blessings of life and the wherewith to make banvn places smile and the desert glad, and the place for his (bet glorious. There is liitlc ot interest transpiring here. The Tabernacle is being pushed Willi energy, the gables nearly completed, com-pleted, I he roof going on, arid inside liuish being prepared. At Kamib and Long valley the corn ernps have ripened and are excellent, aud generally so with potatoes. In biiildittg, Kunab is progressing. Another An-other party of Navajoc, for the purpose pur-pose of visit and trade, of tho "upper crust," has arrivod there, one female in tin pariy. Wnjor Powell has gone norlh for his lamtty, intending to winter in Kauab. A few days since a dozen of fine beef stuck, lor the Piocbe market, from the Canaan co-operative herd, passed westward. It is expected that to-night the last reel of wire will be laid on the telegraph tele-graph line to l'ioche. Wine making is nearly over for the season, the crop reaching probably not less than 10,000 gallons. Mr. Dodge assures us that his crop was never sweeter nor better. Winter schools have not yet started. Several good teachers would meet with ready engagement, if application is quickly mado. I Trade a little dull but health fair. J. |
