Fearful Tragedy-Death at charivari

On the night Of Monday, the 18th inst.
a young man by the name of William
Hamilton, while at Charivari, was
shot by Richard N. Pierce, and instant
ly expired. The following are the cir
cumstances we have been able to OBJ
tain /:
Pierce was married on the lst ofJan-
uary, and on Monday moved into a
house he had bought, about PIP miles
south of this village, in this town, and
on what is known as the "School Sec
ton" Several of the young men of his
acquaintance had threatened to ''horn''
him, and he, aware of this, had borrow
ed smooth bore rife, with which to
defend himself
About 10 o'clock at night, party of
young people, among whom was Ham
ilton, approached the house, and COM
menced blowing horns, and making the
disturbance usual on such DECISIONS.
Pierce ordered them to leave, fired
his gun. in the air. This only served to
excite the party, and after variety of
other performances, Pierce growing ar.
CRY, discharged his gun at the crowd.
killed Hamilton instantly, and wounding
one or two others slightly. Hamilton
it is said, died without a struggle or
groan. He was about 81 years of age,
has always borne an irreproachable
character, and was highly esteemed.
The shot passed in at the right side,
and it is supposed, penetrated the heart.
Pierce is about 81 years old, and is
said to be peaceable, well-disposed,
industrious young man. He came to
town Immediately and gave himself up,
saying what he had done, and express
ing great sorrow for the deed. The I'M
fortunate occurrence has plunged both
families into mourning, and caused the
most intense excitement throughout the
community.

seven hundred yards from the. channe
of the stream. The. banks of the Fork
are lined with willow, brush, and cotton
wood trees, blasted in one or two places
by attempts which were made by the
iormons, before the evacuation OF Fort
Bridger, to deprive US of fuel as well as
of grass. The trees and bushes We're
fortunately too green to burn, and the
fire swept through acres of wood, doing
no other damage than to consume the
dry leaves and scorch the bark. The
water of the Fork is clear and pure, and
ripples noisily over the stony bed be-
tween two unbroken lines o. ice. The
head quarters are upon green knoll,
around which the stream makes gentle
bend. The 5th Infantry are camped on
the left toward Fort Bridger, the ar
tilery batteries and the lO,h Infantry on
the right. The dragons will be dis
tributed along Henry's Fork, on which
the grass is unburnt. All the cattle and
mules which survive will also be sent
there to recruit ~
The work of killing cattle and jerking
the beef had been prosecuted busily du-
ring the week but there had been no
salt in camp for more than a fortnight
The average cost of transportation
from Leavenworth City to the Salt Lake
is from Is to lS cents per poued, and it
was thought uneconomical to haul an
article across the Plains at SO heavy an
expense, the value of which at the ex-
peeted termination of the march would
not exceed two cents per pound. So

ET Mrs. MoZART's Concert, on Tuesday
evening last, was well attended, notwithstand
ing the unfavorable weather, and the fact that
the Churches were open for divine service, and
consequently many were at Church who would
otherwise have attended the Concert.
The performances were of the highest order
indeed, we may truly say that musical enter
tsinment equal TO it has seldom, if ever, beer
given in this city. Its superior is seldom mel
anywhere. To say of Mrs. Mozart that she is a
fine singer, is not enough. In our judgment she
is the Singer of the West
Ofmusic, we do not presume to discourse learn
eddy, and therefore can render the lady but scant
justice. We know only, that we were moved
by concord of sweet sounds. But we can say
at least this, that Mrs. Mozarts beauty, grace
and modesty, and the perfect good taste of her
manner, took the heart of the entire audience
captive, and commanded a respectful Difference,
beyond what we ever before saw manifested 10
an artistic on the boards.
The performances of Mr.. Mozart and Mr.. Cur
ris it is high praise to say, were in perfect keep
ing with that of the lady We are glad to learn
that they intend to favor us soon with another
Concert. We scarcely need say to our readers.
Go, by all means, and hear it. We dom. often
say so much We say this heartily.
