Show Bad Financiering. Parowan, Utah, Juno 22, llluTi. An cahtoru journal brings sotno alarming iiowh. It appaors tho llttlo town of Sharon, Vt. la fairly boiling ovor with exolteinout. Two strangors appearod thoro Intoly and wanted to buy tho Robinson farm of 00 ncrea. Thoy asked tho farmer what ho would tnko for It. He, anspooting thoy had found valuable miuornl on tbo laud, uamod n high price for it, which they promptly paid. After which tho awful disco vory was mado that tho two strangers woro Mormon oldcrs, and that thoy were going to build a mnnumont to tho Prophot Josoph Smith, nnd that tbo littlo town would becomo n Mecca to which pilgrimnges would be mado at in tenuis. Tho inhabitants buvo callod ou all church mombors to rally, pull down tho monument nud pour out other calumnies on the poor Mormons. Now, those poor Sharon-itos Sharon-itos don't appear to bo blest with good commn i sonso. What a splou-did splou-did tbuig it would bo, if somo one would set up a monument horo in Pnrown, to drnw pllrgims to ent up our produoo and help out our hotel keepers, mcrcohnnta aud farmors, nud ovorybody, oven If tbo monument was only to imirortallzo Joah Billings, or your correspondent, for that matter. Wonder to mo that tbo viliago that gavo birth to tho greatest pbiloHophor of tho 10th century have no hotter judgment than to howl down a proposition that would bo tbo means of raking in tho $8$, but thou, there is no accounting for tastes.
