principally from Missionaries, urging in the
strongest terms the return to that Territory

peace will again reign in that distracted coun-

Re- At the July term of the First Judi

re-" At the July term of the First Judi
cia District Court of Utah Territory, held
at Genoa, in Charleston county, Judge Drum
mond charged the Grand Jury very forcibly,
and earnestly, upon the subject Of polygamy,
among other sections of the criminal code, to
the effect that inasmuch as there is no law in
that Territory authorizing the issue Of mar
riages, or authorizing any one to perform the
marriage ceremony, either in or out of the
church, as much as they might regret the ne
cessitv, it would be, nevertheless, their duty
toprefrr bills Of indictment against all such
as have not been legally married in some
other country, and particularly when two or
more women are cohabitiny with the same
man. 9. t.r-n @ .sgf

Coal AT JACKSON. -The 1d0ertiser learns
that the operations at Jackson, for the dscov-
cry AMI opening Of Coal Mines, have proved
very successful. One vein known as the Hay
den vein, lying about three miles west Of the
village, has been disclosed at about twenty
five feet beneath the surface which is four and
a half feet in thickness. About four hundred
tons of this coal have already been taken out,
and il is sold by the proprietors at four dollars
" ton. 1t bnfns very freely, is light and
gives out great heat. ESQ

TIE INFLUENCE OF TEMPER ON HEALTH.
Excessive labor, exposure to wet and cold,
deprivation of sufficient quantities of neces-
Sary and wholesome food, habitual bad lodg-
ings, sloth, and intemperancc, are all deadly
enemies to human life; but they are none of
them SO bad as violent and ungovernable pas
sons. Men and women have survived all
these and at last reached an extreme old age;
but it may be safely doubted whether sin
Gle Instance can be found of man of violent
and irascible temper, habitually subject to
storms of ungovernable passion, who has ar
rived at very advanced period OF life. 1t
is therefore a matter of the highest impor-
lance to every one DESTROYS OF preserving "a
sound mind in sound body" so that the
brittle vessel of life may glide down the
stream of time smoothly and securely, in
stead of being continually tossed about
amidst rocks and shoals which endanger its
existence, to have special care, amidst the
vicissitudes and trials Of life, to maintain
quiet possession Of MS own spirit. "a

Ey- We learn from the Chicago Press
that it is proposed by the capitalists Of that
city, in connection perhaps with those of the
contiguous Province of Canada, to establish
line Of propcllers between the former city
and Montreal. The advantage to trade of
such facilities for the transit of goods will be
almost incalculable, not only to our Canadian
neighbors, but to the inhabitants of our ex-
tensive northwestern frontier, whose mex
hausti|'le resources, agricultural and mineral,
are being so rapidly developed.
