decent and modest. But if she did rush towards
Gov. Wise in the manner he mentions with arms

n. Du.v q prope,ty Holders.

# a general demand for business property, for
business uses, is one Of the surest indices Of a
towns prosperity, it may with equal propriety
be added that high rents and e1travagant calca-
lations are indubitable evidences Of premature
decline and decay. Burlington represents either
one or the other of these phases to-day. We hear
on every side complaints Of high rents. Proper

state of things actually exists, and people are
anxiously enquiring what they shall do to ward
off the fatal results of such suicidal policy. II
this is true of our property holders it is to be
deeply regretted, and we cannot but believe that
those who have taken this step, win find plenty
of opportunity to regret it too before they are
ready for another advance.
The fact of it is, this unhealthy state of things
has been forced upon the community by the nat

this experiment will not be tried just at this crit

The last number of the Deseret News, contains
an account Of the origin, successes, troubles and
triumphs of the latter day saints. The writer
computes the number Of Mormons in the old and

by the Great Salt Lakes they have prospered, and
have received accessons from all parts of chris
tendon. One thousand Danish Mormons are ex
pected to arrive in Utah next seasons.
On the 18th of September, they had an ex-

vision of the Horticultural Society of Great Salt

On Thursday last a few thousand million grass
hoppers decended in the settlements in the north
of Utah county, destroying every green thing in
their way; the last prospect for bread in that re-
gion is therefore suddenly snapped asunder
