Joe Jones

Don't yeu remember lame Sally, Joe Jones
Lame Sally, whose nose was so brown?
Who looked like a clam if you gave her a
smile,
And went into fits at your frown?
In the old goose-pond, in the the orchard, Joe
Jones,
Where the goslins are learning to swim.
Lame Sally went fishing one wet windy day,
And there by mistake tumbled in.
Under old Sims brush fence, Joe Jones,
That winds at the foot of the hill,
Together we've seen the old camel go round
Grinding cider at Appleton's mill;
The mill-w heel is oven-wood now, Joe Jones,
The raflers fell on TO COW;
Aud the weascls aud rats that crawl round as
you gaze,
Are the lords of the cider-mil now.
Don't you remember the pg-pen, Joe Jones,
Which stood on the path 10 the barn
And the shirt-button trees, where they grew
the boughs
Which we sowed in our jackets with yarn /!
The pig-pen has gone 10 decay, Joe Jones.
The lightning the tree overcome;
And down where the onions and carrots once
grew
Grow thistles as big as your thumb.
Don't you remember the school, Joe Jonesl
And the master who wore the old wig?
And the sandy nook by the crook of the
brook,
Where We played with Aunt GATHERINGS
pig;
Mice live in the masters wig, Joe Jones;
The brook with crook is now dry
And the boys and girls that were playmates
then,
Have grown up ever so high
There is change in the things l love- Joe
Jones
They have changed from the good to the
bad
And feel in my stomach. to tell you the
truth.
I'd like to go home to my dad.
Twelve months-twenty-haye passed, Joe
Jones,
Since knocked off your nose with rail
And yet believe I'm your only true friend.

The Fremont Qowa1 Journal learns
from party recently arrived from Great
Salt Lake, that the +" Utah chief, Walker,
was preparing to give the MormonS battle,
and as he has enlisted in his cause the
Comanches and Apaches, bloody strug-
gle may be expected. He has sworn a
war of determination, and woe betlde the
Mormons who fall into his hands. The
Mormons endeavored to make a treaty
with him, but his demands were considered
intolerant and they would not comply with
them. He required that they should build
him a house as large as Governor Young's
on prominence near the city, pay him a
large sum of money, and furnish him with
as many wives their veritable Governor
has. So far as the house and money was
concerned the Mormors were willing to
comply, but furnishing the wives was an
other matter, and here the negotiation
ceased. 1t is to be regretted that this
state Of feeling exists, as it will be danger
Gus for small parties of emigrants to cross
the plains the coming spring, and as in the
case of poor Gunnison and his party, many
whites will perish who do not believe in
the Mormon creed.
The Arappahoes, Cheyennes and Sioux
are making preparations to exterminate
the Pawnees in the spring. They express
determination to wipe out the entire
tribe Bloody Indian battles may there
fore be expected soon.
