FROM UTAH.

MASSACRE IN UTAH.-The mail from Salt Lake,
says the Los Angeles Star, arrived here this week,
bringing intelligence Of another horrible massacre
having been committed in Utah Territory. The cir
cumstances as they have been related to us by gen
tlemen who came here from San Bemardino, where
the mail carrier from Salt Lake stops, follows
Mr.. VIM. Parrish, his SON. a young man about seven
teen years of age and Mr.. Potter started from the
city for the purpose of coming to California. They
had proceeded but short distance when their bodies
were found dead Mr.. Parrish's throat was cut from
ear to ear the others had been shot Their bodies
were found at place called Sprngve, about 5Omiles
from Salt Lake city. 1t is not known by whom the
outrage was committed Rumor has it that Mr. Par
rish had difficulty with the authorities about reno
wing his property which he had previously consecra
ted 10 the Church. We give the rumor as we heard
it, It il also said that the massacre was perpetated
by Indians. The intelligence of this murder caused
the greatest excitement in San Bernardno where part
Of Mr. Parrish's family reside, as well as generally
throughout the country. We hope an investigation
by the Government authorities will be made into this
massacre and the guilty parties made to feel the heavy
arm of the law. These outnges Of so frequent
curence that it behooyes the local authorities TO take
steps to bring the perpetrators to punishment.

y closed the market for Mexican provisions here Not
pound of flour can be purchased here, and the other
articles of provisions will be exhausted in short time
The Arizona Copper Mining Co. and the Gila Copper
Mining Company will be obliged to suspend operations
until they can obtain -four from San Francisco. The
Gila Company discharged half their workmen on the
lst May and have only -four enough on hand to sub
sist the remainder until the lst Of June. Mr.. George
+. Hooper, of this Company, will soon be in San Fran
cisco TO make arrangements for the shipment Of pro
visions purchase Of machinery, ETC., and It's proposed
by the propetors to put large force Of experienced
miners from Sonora as soon as the arrangements
can be completed. new vein Of ore two feet in
diameter has been opened. yielding about fifty per
cent. Of metallic copper. The news from the silver
mines at Ia Ariyaca, Santa Rita, and Sopor Gadsden
Purchase, continues nattering and small shipments
are about being made by Mr.. Poston, of the Sonora
Exploring and Mining Company.
The state Of feeling caused by the Crabb expedition
and the utter failure and massacre Of the party, Is
represented to be extremely unfavorable for Ameri
cans. Capt. AnErim, Of the Colorado Ferry Com
pany, and Mr.. Slate of this place. well known in so
nora, and speaking the language thoroughly, were
obliged 10 turn back from Sonoa for fear of assass
nation. Mr.. Robert Ward, an American, who has re-
sided for year, in Sonora and whose family resides in
that province, did not dare 10 pass through Sonoa
on his way to the Colorado, from the town of Tu
bal, Gaislen Purchase. Mr.. Hill, an employee of
the Arizona Mining Company, is supposed TO have
been assassinated near zonia, by the Mexicans. He
had no connection with the fllibusters, and was on
business for the Company. Something will have to
be done to restore the American influence in the Pur
chase and Sonora to protect American life.

teman has mill on Saxton's Greek, running fifteen
stamps, situated close to his vein. Last week, Mr..
Moore informs u.s. he struck it very rich in his vein,
and is now taking out quartz that will pay 81 900 to

gentleman of velacity, from whom we derive our in
formation. This vein is of the Fremont Grant.
GESrRY's GuLcn.--The quartz vein of Cleary, Bur-

PICTURE OF A Coop WIFE Will our young
sparks who are pleased to think of wife as n
elegant plaything, intended only TO dress and
dance, visit and spend money, please look at
the following picture of good wife, drawn by
the pencil of solomon.-Prov. XXI. ~
Verse 10 Behold virtuous woman, for her
price is above rubies.
IL. She riseth with day and prepareth
breakfast for her household; yea, before the
sun has risen she hath her maidens at work.
I3 She seeketh wool and fax, and layeth
her hand willingly to the spindle, while her
right hand merrily turneth the wheel.
IA She looketh well to the way of her fam
lily. and eateth not the bread Of idleness
I6. By her industry her cheeks are made
ruddy like the rose Of Sharon, yea, her nerves
are strengthened, so that when she heareth
talk of Mysteries, she msrveleth thereat.
IL. Her house is the habitation Of neatness,
so that the heart Of her husband is refreshed
when be enters into her chamber.
IS She maketh fine linen and selleth ft,
and delivereth much fine cloth to the mer-
chants.
I9 Her husband is known in the gates bv
the fneness of his apparel, for she maketh
him clothes of silk and purple.
29 Her children rise up and call her bles-
sed, her husband also, and he praiseth her.

SCARLET FEvER.-The bills Of mortality In
almost all the large cities continue TO attest
the alarming prevalence of this frightful
scourge of the young, and even the smaller
towns and rural districts seem to be unusually
affected. We DO not open a paper hardly
that is not freighted with the burden of ca
lamity, and the daily reports in our own midst
aimonish US that we are not exempt from
a share in the general affliction. For some
wears mast the annual recurrence Of this dis
ease at this season has bsfied the skill OF the
medical profession, and the present winter IL
seems to have arrived at climax Three
and even more children in some quarters taii
y;ctims 10 the scourge in a single family, and
instances are not rare Of its communication to
adults And not only is the fatality occasion
ed by this fearful disease most distressing, but
even when the unfortunate sufferer escapes
with his life he is frequently left with injured
sight or hearing In view of these sad facts
we can only repeat the warning to be diligent
in all possible precautions.
