Elder Brigham Young, of the council of the Apostles, who has been seriously sick for several weeks, is now rapidly mproving. It is understood that the lectures Madame Mountford is about to deliver in England will be entitled The Zions of the East and West, and will deal with conditions in Utah and in Palestine; Jerusalem vs. Salt Lake City. The mem Tiers of the Deseret Sunday School Union board attended In a body the Old Folks gathering at the Salt Lake theatre on the afternoon of Thursday, January 19. The comic opera The Bells of Corneville, by the Home Dramatic Co., occupied the hoards. Elder Charles O. Card is actively engaged amongst the stakes and settlements drumming up settlers for the wide stretch of country round about Caruston, Alberta, over which he presides Finding that bis duties as president of the stake, and alBOof the Manitoba mission, could not be properly attended to by the same officer, he has requested the First Presidency to find a successor for the latter position. The Latter-da- y Batata of St. John, Kansas, tendered a dinner to the Old Folks' January 2. Forty to forty-fiv- e of them enjoyed an elegant dinner, which was followed by an entertaining program. Elder Wm. T. Jack, of Salt Lake City, president of the southwestern states mission, presided. Those who managed the affair were ably assisted by the citizens of St. John, and all had a most enjoyabls time. At the commencement of the present year there were 488 missionary elders laboring in the southern states mission; 192 elders and four sisters in Great Britian; 75 elders and one lady missionary in Germany; 28 elders in Switzerland, and 25 elders and six sisters on the Sandwich islands. Altogether, the world over, there were about 1,700 missionaries In the field on January 1, 1809. Quarterly conference was held at Huntington on the 15th and 16th. The most important business was the election of Hon. G. R. Miller as president of Emery stake, vice C. G. Larson, who, on account of his age, etc., had resigned. Mr. Miller chose John Pace and Henry Mathias as his councilors, both of Price. Apostles Lyman and Lund were present, and besides giving the people much good advice concerning the use of tea, coffee, tobacco and whisky, Apostle Lyman paid a good tribute to the work Larson, of and labors of Well done, my good whom he said: The attendand faithful servant cold weather, was ance, despite the very large, the largest, perhaps, in the history of Emery county. Judging from the reports of bishops throughout the stake, the people are generally prosperous and healthful, and anxious for improvement and knowledge. Possibly no other Sunday school superintendent was ever accorded such a funeral as that of Elder George Goddard, at Salt Lake City, on January 15th. For a man who practically was sold by his brother for fifty pounds, because he was ashamed of him and wanted to get rid of him, the attendance of eight or ten thousand persons, on such an inclement day, and so many of them little children, shows how deeply he was loved, how widely respected. There was also a peculiar fitness in the proceedings. The speakers were either his associates in the Sunday school work, or on tbe Old Folks committee, his pnpilsinthe Sunday school, his bishop and the youngest member of that remarkable band of missionaries, of which Elder Goddard was clerk, who in 1837 crossed from Salt Lake City to the Missouri The beneriver drawing a hand-cardiction was offered by presiding Patriarch John Smith, the deceased belonged to that body of the priesthood. Returned missionaries occupied the grater portion of the time at the tabernacle Sunday, January 23, the speakers being Elders Thomas Naylor, Andrew Smith, Theodore Xystrom, Thaddeus Naylor and Joseph Csfr. They were followed by President George Q.
