Ordinances,

We call the attention of those interested
u the town ordinances. which are now be-
ing published in this paper.
Tho "City Fathers" have taken hold in
earnest. and every well-wisber of good Or
der and sobriety will sustain them in their
efforts to lessen the evils OF intemperance
We should think, from present indications,
shat our pleasant and thriving town will
soon be materially improved in ap-
pearance. except the streets. which, of ne
cessity. wall be very much obstructed this
season with building materials.
The ordinance in reference to leaving
teams IN the streets, without hitchine, we
think IS al! proper; but at the same time
the town authorities should see that a suf
hcient number of posts or racks are pro
v'ded. 80 that people can have an opportu
nifty to fasten their teams when they have
business In town.

Three residents of the Balkan province
once travelled journey in company, and
OH their way found treasure, which they
agreed to amicably divide. They contin-
ued on their journey, discoursing on the
uses to which they should apply their
money, till their provisions began to fail;
when it was decided, that the youngest of
the party should go to the nearest village
and purchase supply, VINO accordingly
departed. On his way thithor he thus So
liloquised: although l am now rich, yet
| should be immensely wealthy, were but
possessed Of all the money we have found:
these two men may combine to deprive me
of all;-but can easily prevent this, and
become sole owner of tho wealth. | will
poison all the food purchase. and at my
return will say,-I have dined at the vii
lage; my companions will eat without sus-
picion, and die. l shall then take ali the
treasure to myself" Meanwhile the others
were contriving for themselves. 1--WE
should do we'll to rid ourselves Of this
youth, who ia associated with US; we shall
be obliged to admit him to share of the
treasure; his part would materially aug
ment ours, aud We should be really rich
when he returns, let us poignard him."
The young man at length returned with
the poisoned viands: his companions assas-
s;natod him and then eat the poisoned
food and persisted, leaving the treasure to
the possession of no one.
Such were the results Of crime: and in
this way were murderers made to suffer
mutually the reward due their wicked
ness.

This territory is beginning to attract the
attention Of the public, generally. The
preciso line Of policy that the present ad-
ininistration designs TO pursue with Brig
ham Young and his fanatical followers,
has not yet been made known. One thing.
u our mind, is certain, that unless the
Government sends n sufficient amount Of
troops to sustain tie United States laws,
it would be worse than useless 10 appoint q
Governor and Judges to administer thelaws
in tina. Territory, fol they would not be
obeyed unless Brigham happened to take
fancy to them. which he would not be like
y to do. The Mormons are getting to be
very numerous. and are rapidly increasing
by emigration, and it will require quito an
army to enforce the laws of the United
States, in that secluded region. The time
has arrived when something will have to
be done. Various plans have been sug-
gea;ed by different individuals. in refer
once to the proper course for the admins
trstion to pursue. but it still seems doubt
ful whether the proper plan has been hit on
yet.
We have the utmost confidence in'the hon
os,y and capability of the administration,
consequently we have an abiding confidence
that this vexed question will finally be dis
posed OF, without making any particular
jar in the universe 1t is fortunate indeed,
