Show University, many have said. If you go there you will become an infidel. Fears of thh nature was express ed for some of us students that have been attending this year. From our county can say thai there is no danger of such a thin.' happening, we have never had am instruction in the University bu'-what bu'-what will make us better and wiser, and we have the consolation of knowing, that our religion does not conflict with any of the truths of scieme.

Jay-day has just passed. And of course the young folk of Sanpete have had a happy time, and while they are discusingit, I thought it might be of interest to some to know how we passed the day here, by we is meant the students of the University. It was decided that ihey should spend, the day in Parley, Canyon. At 8 o.clock A. M. they got on the U. C.

Mr, Jenson from Kphraim, and your correspondent, from Manti," besides there wee representatives from nearly every county in the territory, and from other statesand territories; a strange gathering surely very few of them had ever been acquainted before the University Univer-sity made them so, yet they repres. ented the future pedagogues of Utah, and perhaps, some of them her future legislators and statesmen. About twenty of them will soon graduate and return to their different differ-ent homes, and it was certainly pleasant for us who remain to enjoy their society for one whole day, before they leave, we became better acquainted then would ever have been possiple in the regular exercise of the school. The scenery at Glencoe is grand and imposing, so grand infact that I cannot describe it, While standing on one ' of the peaks among the many that surround sur-round us, and pondering over that great command in Genesis, which reads: "Let the dry land appear," I thought of the great and mighty convulsions that must have taken place, to bring about this decree. What tenibie commotions must have shook the earth at that time! Yet how important are the mountains. moun-tains. We may well say with RusKin: "Itjwas absolutely necessary necess-ary that such eminences should be created, in order to fit the earth in any wise for human habitations? for with out mountains the air could not be purcued, nor the flowing of the rivers sustained, and the earth must have become for the most part desert plain, or stagment marsb They were created to . fill the thirst of the human heart for the beauty of God's workinc, to startle t$ have ordered their goods via S. 1.

One night this week when Mrs. Hunter was absent in the city here, Martin Wright, a near neighbor, saw a light in Mrs. Hunter's house, first in the lower story and then in the upper. He of course, supposed the people at home. But soon Mrs. Hunter called on her way home from town, and was surprised to hear of the lights in the house.as no one was at home. An investigation showed that the house had been entered, but nothing was found missing. Our people should be very careful just now, as there will be more or less of this gentry present pre-sent during the summer. MAYFIELD NOTES.
