OMrssION.-Owing to the lateness of the
Monday night we could not write out any ex-
tended notice of the evenings performance
We cannot pass by the occasion however, to
commend Miss St. Clar's playing on that eve
ming. The play, Fazio, was the first Tragedy
brought out this season. and certainly was no.
bly, done. Miss st. Clair in that most difficult
of her favOrite characters Blanca, was the ad-
mired of the whole company. She exceeded
our most ardent expectations. 1t was the most
true. chaste. real, and faultless personifcation
of Blanca Fazio we ever witnessed. We but
echo, in saying this, the opinion of all of the
crowded and intelligent audience who witness
ed the play. All through that long Tragedy,
not passage, not an incident, but was fault
lessly kept up without tagging in the least in
interest, to the closing scene. This was the
triumph of the whole evening. The entire au-
dience rose to their feet, to witness the Ia
bleau and the curtain went down in the most
enthusiastic applause.
We can not refrain from speaking here, by
the way, of a TOO common error in Theatre 60
ers. After a tragedy has been we'll performed,
it is customary to ''call out" the leading actor
or actress. who has just gone through the ''dy-
ing scene" so pathetically, before the curtain.
We think this is wrong. 1t break the effect
and temporary illusion of the play, which is
its chief charm. A thrilling death scene, We
hold, ought to be closed by the curtain, in the
most respectful silence, instead of wild ap-
plause by the audience. We venture this as
hint

From Salt Lake.

The Kansas correspondent of the Sun

TO enforce obedience, in Utah, of the PEG

They express determination to resist such

Brigham Young, with $50 followers, left
Salt Lake City, April 30, to visit and treat
with the Indians in the northern part of his

He is determined, if it does commence, to
secure possession of the country thereabouts;
or put a stop to the emigration across the

Every man and boy able to shoulder a

1t is supposed that the object of his miss

The MormOns claim that they number
$4,000 in Utah alone.
Gen Burr thinks their population will nc,
exceed half that number.
They are thoroughly acquainted with the

character of Demarest. Templeton and Mere

We owe the Orchestra a long apology for
not noticing them before. We are sure any one
who has listened to the sweet tones of Mr..
Ainsworth's flute, who is perfect master of
that instrumental to the excellent playing of
the two violinists, Messrs. Munger, will pro.

A HUNr.-Some two months since, some
of our citizens in this vicinity, arranged
test hunt. ranging themselves into two par
tins for the killing of gophers, ground SPUR
rels, black-birds, hawks, &C., the party
killing the largest number, to win the wager
ola dinner, to be given by the losing par
ty. Tomorrow is the day set for the deter
mination of the contest by counting the
trophies of the various parties. The Dinner
is to be given by Mr.. Arnold of the Eureka
House. We understand that the number
ofgophers and ground squirrels killed is very
large. The plan is a good one, and has a
double attraction-the radiance of the coun-
try of plague to the crops, and the pleas
ant excitement of game of chance. We
notice that similar contests have been going
on in several other places in the vicinity,
Medford among others.-i5.
