FRESH SALMoN.-As the CITY authorities have
provided for no public dinner, no speeches, and
no fun Of anysort, the majority of our citizens
will probably dine at home and celebrate at home.
To such as would desire to show their patriotism
over an extra good dinner, we would say, that
Richardson K Wetherbee, No. 10 Mechanic ST.,

fresh salmon, some Of them Of extra size, which

" There are arrivals from Salt Lake almost
daily, and in the case of parties of emigrants
some Of the vehicles are as extraordinary az
the motive power hich propels them. Gov.
Cumming testified to having observed wag.

FROM WAsHINGToN.-Th government is
In possession of dispatches from Minister For
syth, who, at the last accounts, was in cor
respondence with the Mexican government
on subjects growing out of the tax on the
property OF American citizens. The point
Tor demanding his passports had not yet been
reached.
The whole number of land warrants issued
IN June was nine hundred sixty three, to sat-
isfy which it will require over one hundred
and forty-two thousand acres.
Secretary Thompson is engaged in organic
ing the commission TO run the boundary line
between Texas and New Mexico. The ex-
ploration and survey cannot fail to be ex.
tremely difficult, as there are long stretches
OF country entirely destitute of water and
vegetation.
The government has received a letter from
Maj. Ben Mccullough dated Camp Scott in
Which he states as his belief that one Of tho
reasons why the Mormons deserted their habi-
tations was to guards their border from the
apprehended excessive gallantry of our sol.
dlers, and besides that, the leaders resorted
to this exodus to keep the people and prevent
the disafected saints from throwing them
selves on the army for protection. The Nor
mons, he says, do not believe the army has
orders or authority to pursue them, and hence
congratulate themselves that thsy are out of
harms way from that source. Col. McCul-
Tough says a small force of Mormons is still
in Salt Lake City ready to fire it, perhaps III
the event Of the approach of the army He
thinks great mistake mas been committed in
permitting the Mormons to gather their crops,
as this, while it strengthened them, ditnin-
ished relatively the power of the military for
ces.,
Mccullough and the other commissioner,
Gov. Powell, were going at once to Salt Lake,
but not with the army. Their powers are
superior to either those Of Gov. Cumming or
Gen Johnston.

A Hot SPRING AT FALL RIVERA cores
pondent of-the Boston Post notices natural
phenomenon at Fall River, as follows ~.
" This tIhursday) morning as the diggers
OF well upon DR.. Durfee's estate, in the
north part of the city were blasting, they
were surprised by a stream of water bursting
forth, throwing a jet some forty feet above
the surface Of the ground. The stream is
clear as crystal and almost boiling hot. What
makes it the more singular, is that the spot is
one Of the highest in this city, neatly Of the
same height as Moant Hope. 1t is one of
the most beautiful sights you can imagine.

A FINISHED CITY.-A recent American
traveller, when in Venice, expressed a curl.
osity to know how the remarkable palaces of
that city were built, and on what foundation
they stood. When told that they stood on
piles, he desired to see the pile. driver
" There is a model of il in the Doges Palace
somewhere" replied the guide. "but it has
not been used, for we have not had house
built in Venice for three hundred gears"
Making due allowance for the guides ac-
curaey OF computation, the anecdote will
serve to show the stagnant, dead. sea aspect
OF many Eastern countries, whose exploits
history has emblazoned.

The Horse TRoT. What the sports OF the
amphitheatre were to the ancients, horse, race
is to the moderns, and we shall be much surprs-
ed if the announcement which has been made of
the grand trial Of speed, this afternoon, at the
Agricultural Grounds, between some of the fast
est horses of the day, does not attract to Worces
ter crowds ofpeople from all parts of the county.
1t is very pleasant to listen to a fine Grafton on
the anniversary Of our country's independence;
good dinner is not bad to take, music has
charms, and the fireworks are a source of amuse-
ment and qualification but some people are so
stupid that they cannot appreciate good grafton,
some are ST. dyspeptic that they cannot enjoy a
good dinner, many persons have no ear for mu-
sic, and we have seen some few individuals who
consider fireworks bore and nuisance, but we
have rarely seen man or woman, though some
were rather reluctant to confess it, who did not
really enjoy horse race, So we shall expect to
see a crowd at the Agricultural Grounds, today,
to witness the sport that has been provided for
the multitude.
