On our way we called, nd were very cordially received and hospitably entertained, at the the residence of Brother and Bister Standing, the parents of the brave young missionary who -- was brataUymurdered InGeorjIaT The next day being Sunday, at 10 o'clock, we all went to Sunday School, which was conducted byJEIder Moroni Ward. A few white children were in attendance, but the school "mostly con- -, slated of, not only red chlldrenof imall growth, but full grown men and women, all seeming in earnest to learn asfast as possible. I listened to each class separately, and, while I was deeply struck with surprise with the progress of the scholars, I felt no less admiration for the untiring perseverance of the teachers. By request I . addressed the school for a sh ort time, Bishop Zundel interpreting to those that did not ( . . . fulJy-understan- d. At two p.m. we attended meeting.

One impressive feature of the Eervice3 in the afternoon, meeting, which we attended, must not be overlooked, I. e., the singing, which was all performed by a Lamanlte choir of six males and six females. With the many variatlonsin their tunes, which are very peculiar, the perfection of their time is truly astonishing.) After the meeting was dismissed, the children were called together, and' I organized a Primary Association, with the following officers: Philena H. Zmdel President; Elfza Ward and Almira Hall, Counselors; Phebe Zundel, Secre- tary; Hadden Ward, Treasurer. We were informed that Brother Chandler is successful here In teaching a day school, which Is well attended; he also has charge of the Sun-da- y School, but was abzent on a visit we did not t ee him. The Indians are very Indus trioua under Brother Zundel's direction. This summer they propose building a number of dwelling houses of brick of their own manufacture, which will advanca them much in domestic On Monday we returned to Brigham City, stopping to noon in Honey ville at Bishop Hun- Baker's, where a number of the brethren came In for a few minutes' sociable, and where I had the pleasure of meeting the widow of the much esteemed Brother David Grant.

On the 26th, went to Willard City with the same wagon, team and charioteer attended two meetings of Primary Conference. The children's exercises occupied most of tho time their rccita beam from every countenance. The large Tabernacle in which the three conferences were held was well filled, and the wards generally well reported. The 13th was the Young Ladles Conference. I met with them in the forenoon, had a good time, listened to very sensible remarks, made a few myself, and in the afternoon took the train for my home in Salt Lake city, thus terminating my one month's "out." J Inow wish to append to the forgoing the following silk report from Brigham City: Christine Forsgren of the 4th Ward, in 1881, wove twen ty-oyards of all silk warp, with silk and wool fillings.
