Show SANi'ETEISMS. Petty Lummy A Disposer of Ar-duuts Ar-duuts Etc. CllEbTKR, SANPETE COUNTY, December 27th, 1879. Editors Herald: There seems sotnotimos as though there mutt ho a carnival of crime as well as of jollity and fun. Aud although al-though when winter has set in, and buow lays all around in doep pro fuaion, the hoodlums uf tome of our towns find time and opportunities to visit stores, money drawer?, and shelves aud to deplete the same. At one little town four youths, ranging from 14 to 16 years, wore found guilty of petty laroeny and roooiving stolen goods, three were sentenced to terms ; of imprisonment in the county jail and oue paid his fine. The direct cause of these nefarious proceedings is found in the fack of a person koep-ing koep-ing ostensibly a ttjre, surreptitiously sold wbiek.v and compounded theBe crimes. For this compounding he was duly arraigned, plead not guilty, by law. Facts and a jury pronounced him guilty. A hue waB duly assessed, whicb, together w.tb, costp, ho has paid, but it is said ho intends to appeal ap-peal against the verdict on his iniqui tous proceedings. Opposite to all this is the good and 'profitable results of the Y. M. M. I. A., ovidenoed in their mettingq, mutual mu-tual and interchanging missionary labors. Young men go in pairs several miles to simply till in few words their budding faith. Ytt these acorua will produce the towering on ka. The evangelittiare atill passing roucd, and have, ilia presumed, aaved "hut one aoul" by oausing a retailer of the "ardent" to close the bung-bule of his barrel and open hia Bible as they have iutorlinod it for the delectation of the ex pet tints of tho ooming Savior. With praise for your pajl merited auooeas, and hopeful for a Happy New Year of unparalleled prosperity to you and your enterprises, the Daily and Semi-Weekly Herald, I am, ever your ntll wisher, D.
