THE MORMONS.

A great many scandalous reports come oo,
easionally from Utah. One of the latest oil
these ia the statement going the rounds OF the
newspapers, that zone of the United States
officers in Utah has become Mormon ana
has two wives" To become Mormon and
to become many wived, is one and the same
thing. The women are the arguments with
which Brigham Young converts the unbe'
levers. Like Mshomet, he offers the faith
full heaven of hours in this world and the
next. However, we suspect that Brigham .
hours are not very attractive. They are not
equal to those who welcome the Turkish SOL
der in the bowers of Paradise. On the CON
trary, from the accounts, they are lean kline,
i'll favored, ancient and melancholy. If this
be q true description, it is no more than
right that a man in Utah should have many
wives, as it takes about a hundred of them
TO equal one common woman.

RICHMOND AND FREDERICKSBURG DEPOT
Under the direction of Superintendent BRAD.
LEY who is a very practical and sensible
officer, there are some very decided improve
ments going on at the Richmond and Fred
ericksburg Railroad Depot A curved track
has been constructed for the purpose of
switching the locomotive and cars into the
depot, and very perfect turning table has
been placed inside the depot By this i'm
provement the turning table in the middle
of the street will be dispensed with, and the
running in and out of the locomotives and
cars will be greatly facilitated.
In short time curve more gradual than
that now made will be laid down from the
street into the depot on the lot adjoining the
Broad Street Hotel. Here will be the depot
for passenger cars and the ticket office and
passengers will have the additional comfort
of getting into and out of the cars umder
shelter. This will be indeed very great
Improvement, and we hope the company will
effect it at the earliest possible moment.
BY these alterations the turning table in
the street, which has been an eye sore, will
be dispensed with, and that unsightly knoll
ia front of the Broad Street Hotel will be
shaved down to proper and seemly grade.
These improvements will be hailed with
pleasure by the travelling public and the
citizens.
The new turning table constructed inside
the present depot, for turning locomotives
upon, is very complete affair. 1t is patent,
I'd by Messrs. Isbell & Maybe, of Binghamp
ton, New York. 1t turns on d pivot, and is
moved by crank which revolves cog
wheel that bears on rim of cogs on the
outs- edge OF the table. 1t is surprisingsto
see with what little force locomotive can
be turned around. A boy with one hand is
equal to the task. With the table and the
curve the locomotive can be brought out
promptly. exactly when it is wanted. Under
the old system it took several minutes, and
the iron horse was in the habit of snorting
and cutting up capers for some time before
starting
