HERALD ot ON BRIGHAM YOUNG YOUKO AND ills HIS WORK the following is taken from the herald of dinst the herald is much abused for saying kind ilind words of brigham young and the mormons cormons Mor mons it is charged with upholding polygamy and defending the mormon religion because and only because it contends for the right of that people to enjoy their religion as we do ours but brigham young

looking promising for good crops we have discovered no grasshoppers yet in this county it will be remembered that four years ago last fall these pests came in clouds from the north add and reached cache and a part of or box elder counties before winter set in I 1 think only a few them can be found in the north whereas southern utah a part of california and arizona have received the main body of them they seem y bound we are at work establishing a co opera tive dairy and a sheep herd berd we are favored with health and peace our mining prospects are yet indecisive UNDULY E EXERCISED the central city col Jl egister thinks that there is imminent danger of brigham young and the mor mons being completely broken up at an early date this it argues will be the inevitable result of a combination of causes which are fast bringing matters to a climax it is a curious fact that people at a distance can see danger to the mormons cormons looming up on every hand while they themselves are unable to perceive it the most amusing part of the article is where it puts forth the projected methodist camp meeting in this city as among the most formidable causes that will conduce to the breaking ulof the mormons cormons Mor mons it says and now the methodists these great pioneers in religious efforts threaten them with a I 1 camp meeting attack A number of celebrated divines connected with this large body of christians are about to make a missionary trip to california carrying with them u big bg tent capable of holding people and on their return propose to pitch their missionary tabernacle on the sacred ground where stands the mormon temple itself it is reported that a great many mormons cormons were formerly methodists and that they are anxious to return to the old fold we do not know of anybody hereabouts who has any objection to the methodists coming along with their the ir big bi ten tand should ouid they succeed in convincing a few people that they can feed and fatten upon the chaff instead of the of religion we presume they will be perfectly welcome to all such we think that the methodists will not find salt lake a very prolific field for missionary enterprise however they can come along and try their efforts will doubtless have the effect of causing the mormons cormons Mor mons by contrast to more fully lully appreciate preci ate the light and blessings they enjoy PREPARING brother mark lindsay is busy making preparations to accommodate the large number of pleasure seekers whom he expects to visit his pleasant summer resort on the
