Bp. Anderson has presided over this ward threo years and is loved by all the members of his ward and while they regret very much to lose him, they feel to "submit to the powers that be." Tho people of our quiet little town have Just recovered from the "grip" and they arc now threatened with another an-other contagion which tho older and wiser population declare is more expensive ex-pensive than the other. The origin of this, matrimonial fever (for so It is called here) is unknown, at least It Is difficult to determine at just what place it was first noticable in tho form that It has attacked Mendon. Some declare that Mendon Is not responsible Tor its origin, as tho climate is too C1, and arguments might be produced produc-ed in favor of this supposition. The most conservative people think that it broke out first in the family of Bp. Hill of Sterling and offer as proof the fact that on Wednesday the 25th the Bishop's daughter Emma was married to Louis the son of Christian Sorcnson of this place. Others declare that It was brought here from Salt Lake City where they declare the air is never free from its germs. This class offer as proof for their assertions the fact that Chas. Lalace just came from' the capital cap-ital with Miss Fhcbe Davis and that they were married by Justice Larson on Thursday evening tho 20th. One man declares it was brought from Teton City, Idaho, by a lady who Is to become tho bride of Mr. George on Tuesday next. However this may be, the more one investigates tho more mysterious It appears. May the fever increase, for it certainly ought to find food hero as there are yet many who are llablo to contagion. Such occasions as those witnessed on Wednesday and Thursday last are cause of great rejoicing re-joicing not only on the part of the contracting con-tracting parties but also on tho part of their many friends, who after being wined and dlined and toasted, all join in wishing them a pleasant journey on , the voyage of life. .
