Show THE IMMIGRANTS. We had a pleasant call yesterday from Elders N. Peter Rasmussen, N. M. Andersen, N. C. Larsen and George Frandsen, who have just returned from Europe by the company of emigrants which arrived in the city yesterday at noon. The company came through in the charge of Elder Rasmussen, who informs us that the total number of immigrants in the company amounted to 757. The Scandinavians left Copenhagen July ?th, and arrived in Liverpool on the 10th and New York on the 22d. A four-months old child died on the overland journey and was buried at Pittsburg; yet with one birth on the ship the same number that left Liverpool arrived in Utah, all well. The influx of such a large number of people gave the town a somewhat busy appearance, while the tithing yard seemed alive the whole afternoon. Quite a number have left the city this morning, and in a day or two all will have settled down in the midst of their friends. Elder Rasmussen receives high encomiums for his able management of the company.-News, July 30th.aliu |
