About the Chamber elided the loved forms
Of her parents, and only sister. She silently
noted their movements with mild expression
of her dying eye, turning it from side to side

A playful smile lit up her countenance. She

her. Slowly sinking down, she glided towards

THE Hoe TRADE.-The Hog market con;in-
ues to be in strange condition. Men who
have much invested in preparations for putting
up pork, refuse to purchase at present asking
prices, and are likely to loose on their invest
ments. This is not only the fact as regards our
own market, but so far as we can learn, all
those in our neighborhood. We would request
those who think mon.y GIN be made on the
purchase ofhogs here al over So so, to have
those they own slaughtered and packed on their
account. This can be done at any Of our pork
houses on reasonable terms.

CALIFORNIA RaILRoAD.-Ihe San Francisco
correspondent of the New York San says:
The Mornons are rapidly settling the lower
part Of The State, and turning their attention to
farming and grazing. A community of them
have recently purchased an immense rancho nes
Los Angeles for which they pay about $780,,
COOS 900 down, and the remainder in two
equal annual payments. They, together with
others of the same faith in the valley, and along
the route, contemplate the construction Of a
railroad TO Salt Lake, terminating on the Pacif-a
ic in the region of San Diego or Los Angeles.
They are determined to accomplish the object,
and as the one of great interest to both Attain
tic and Pacific, they viii have the best wishes
and the encouragement of all. 1t will be not
little strange if a project Of such magnitude,
which should long since have received the fos-
tering care and attention of the Federal Gov
ernment, should at last depend upon this reli-
cious sect for lis completion. 3" e aa

the stores after dark. Such persons as admire
the wild music of nature crafty that sense
by taking nights lodging in the English neigh

beast are nightly heard as he INDUCES in his

We do not know what was his intentions,
but tie man did not meet his advances in very
friendly spirit but each time that he approached
too close, he presented the light end of the

this action was continued until the benighted
traveller reached his home. AS the capture of
the animal is attempted with great deal of

long enjoy his freedom, and we imagine that the
sooner he is Gagged again, decidedly the more
comfortable it will be for the neighborhood.-
