with us at last. Cold weather has gone y
whistle an accompaniment to the growing
Of the polar bear, and King Sol, with thu
majesty that 80 we'll becomes him, is assert
ing his dominion. Warm weather is EN-.
phatically the order Of the day; corn and
pumpkins can now grow apace, and little
bows can run around barefoot without dan
ger Of any unwelcome nibblings from Jacl
Frost. Welcome, say we to warm weather,
now that the season for it has arrived. "Le'
all things be done decently and in order
is scripture injunction, and surely all or.
der in the weather arrangements must have
been neglected, when we are treated to such
cold and winter-like storms as that Of last
week, and such approaches to frosty nights
all in the month of June, the month eveI
renowned for balmy breezes, beautiful days
and wealth of flowers. Surely something
must be awry in some quarter, some north
ern door left ajar, or mayhap
A MoRMoN TRAIN of some thirty wagons,
each drawn by four oxen, past through our
town, few days since, en- route for Salt
Lake. Their camping ground, on the bot
tom, below public square, was visited by
many one of our citizens. 1t was rather
interesting to walk round the camp and wit
ness the preparations for supper. Each fam
lily in its own peculiar way, was busy at work
and even under such circumstances, where
all had like facilities and utensils, it was easy
to trace difference in the neatness and or
der with which their work was carried on.
Most of them appeared intelligent and well
informed and were, we should judge, Of the
better class of English. They appeared
cheerful and happy, and no doubt we're sin
cere in the belief that Mormonism is the re-
ligion taught in the bible, and have no idea
Of the horrors that await them In the distant
land whittier they are travelling. We noticed
among the number, many fine looking
girl who will be forced to yield herself as a
spiritual to some lustful elder, and many
an innocent child, whose first ideas Of life
will be formed by the awful example set
forth by the church under the cloak OF re-
ligion. We fear the hopes of the hopeful
will be sadly blighted, and their happy
cheerfulness be turned into mourning. God
speed upon their weary way, the troops un-
der the command of Gen. Harvey, who have
been dispatched to Salt Lake, and may all
who wish it, be enabled to rid themselves
Of the letters imposed by Brigham Young,

The CIRcUs, which visited this place last
week, was rather fine affair, and afforded
an excellent opportunity for our citizens to
get "shut" of all the surplus change they
had about them. Well, the mind must have
relaxation, and in want Of any higher order
Of amusement, tumbling, riding and feats
of legerdemain, to say nothing of the ex-
treme witticisms Of the clown, may serve to
clear the mind of rust and drive away the
blues engendered by too close attention to

Hang Hollow is indeed a fine one, and so
pleasantly situated withal, that the thought
of such home, in such spot, causes our
visions of bachelor happiness to fade into
nothing, and We have half mind to 20
straight to that beautiful blue eyed girl We
wot of, and ask her to become Mrs. Man
about Town. But then, what if she should
refuse,-''Nothing yentured, nothing lost"
is very good motto, and perhaps, as safe
a one as any, so single blessedness has it

The PoHTIco going up in front of the
Pacific House, is fine addition to the APP
pearance of the building, besides affording
splendid promenades for visitors, command
ing, as the upper'one does, view of river

Pacific is one of the hotels, and with this
new advantage for comfort and pleasure,

The REMOVAL of the old log building
from the corner of Broadway and Main
street, was effected in rather short order
one morning this week, and we learn that
Col. JAMES intends putting up three story
brick on the ground it occupied. Said house
was an old settler here, being one Of the
irst erected when logs were the only mate
rial used for building; and occupying con-
spicuous corner, no doubt its old walls, had
they been blest with ''the gift of gab,"
might have related many an interesting tale
Of the sayings and doings of the Blufites.
But old and venerable as were its logs, we
gladly see them give place to the more ele-
CANT and substantial walls of brick, mortar
