Show LOCALISMS. DO not forget the Sunday School Jubilee on Saturday next commencing at 10 o'clock a. m. BEEF cattle bring a good price now, the butchers paying from six to seven cents per pound. NO game has appeared in the market yet, though the "law has been off" of ducks, &c., for two weeks. A party went out duck hunting to-day. BARBER & CO. are making improvements in their store, noticeably a new front. The door will be placed in the centre and a large show window on each side of it. WE sincerely condole with Brother and Sister W. E. Bassett on the loss of their infant son, who died on the 11th and was buried last Sunday. Of five children born to them, they now have but one remaining. THE Tennessee Jubilee and Plantation Singers appear in Logan Theatre again on Aug. 25th. Their former performance was cut short by their having to take the 10 o'clock train but they promise to give an entertainment of extra length this time, to make up for it. OFFICIAL information has been received from President Albert Carrington to the effect that it has been definitely decided that the fourth company of this season's emigration will sail from Liverpool on September 2nd, on the S. S. Wyoming. Deseret News. YESTERDAY afternoon, as Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Bluemel had seated themselves in their buggy in front of Burton's bakery on Third Street, the horse started suddenly, made a sharp turn and threw both occupants out of the vehicle. No serious injury resulted. RIP VAN WINKLE BUDER, the countryman of Bismarck as he proudly styles himself, landed in ?? last night at about midnight, and this morning settled with Alderman Cummings for his lodging. He was convicted of being drunk and of disturbing the peace, and fined $20.00 and costs. THE Salt Lake firemen had planned an excursion to Cache Valley to start on the 23d last, but the U. & N. could not furnish cars though for it, as all the spare rolling stock of that road is being used on the Oregon Short Line. The firemen will go over the Utah Central to Nephi instead of coming north. MR. SMITH, the man injured in the hand car accident on the U. & N. some two weeks ago, and whose leg was amputated was removed from the Cache Valley House to Ogden on Sunday last. He was conveyed on a bed to the depot, and continued to occupy it on the train. Dr. Ormsby accompanied him. WE have received three pages of Mss. from a Wellsville correspondent evidently the last half of a long article. Without seeing the front of the animal we are unable to judge of its nature, so can't use it. We have also received an essay on temperance from "Voran" which is well written but too much of the nature of a lecture or sermon for our use. ON Saturday evening last officers Crookston and Everill arrested a man for whom they had been watching the trains from the south and who had just alighted from one. The arrest was in compliance with a dispatch from the officers of Ogden, and was on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. "DON" Peacock raised a disturbance at the Logan House last Saturday evening and was complained of by some of the guests to the proprietor Mr. Blanchard, who in turn complained to officer Everill. Early on Monday morning the culprit was arrested by this officer, and a settlement was had with Alderman Cummings on the basis of $7.50. Paid. THE performances of Jay Rial's Uncle Tom's Cabin Company take place on Friday and Saturday next. The acting of the human performers, the donkey and bloodhounds are always highly appreciated. The scenes vividly recall to the mind the impressive slavery themes depicted in Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's work. WE clip the following from the Deseret News: "We learn that the S. S. Nevada, of the ?? line, that was to leave Liverpool on the 30th inst. for New York, with a company of Latter-day Saint emigrants, has been chartered by Her Brittanic Majesty's government, to transport troops to the seal of war in Egypt in consequence of this it is probable that the time of the company's leaving will be delayed till Sept. 2d, and that they will sail on the S. S. Wyoming." |
