Order q event the spread of the spirit o

Twas caFId t the 'cial Hall, 1.-THE theatre build

aabi,au' If the city. This meeting was
ntende' to be held in secret, so that no Gentiles
ihould 70 resent; but the Gentiles got wind
ct it, an ". re consequently there punctually al
Che app ,ia cd time. In consequence of their
i'resenc.: asst one speaker addressed the con
f;repatieS he exhorted them briefly not to
l'urchas~ goods of Gentle merchants for the
present, .elitng them to wait till all the mer.
chant tI yis had arrived, when goods would be
& drug - tie market He also advised them
TO refrs q as much as possible from all inter
Course h,teVer with the Gentiles The meet
ing was eiesed with benediction by E. T.
Benson, ons of the twelve apostles, before the
PEOPLE fis ceased to come in. Neither Brig

Brig asa has brought in q bill of $4,000
against ,e ar Department, for the use of what
ia styled th~s church PASTURE on the banks of
! the Jor ., liver, it having been occupied by
the arm t, the three days succeeding its ar
rival IN a.> alley. The pasture was fenced in

nas long q e,e fallen away, leaving scarcely
Hundred le cot continuous wall at any point !;

oaiy red eling feature was its proximity to
the rivei N which the army could procure

willing ida sady to pay reasonable and ad.
equate o. sensation for anything obtained
from the Pcs 'le for the use of the army under
hss contr 4. ut this outrageous demand of the
church, &, meie occupancy of land to which
trey hav i eality no title, is certainly fa-
giant i'm ao1si ION upon the kind feelings of our
friends ost s-army.
Whe Il hrst arrived in the valley, it was
veguely AElepered around that the church
leaders i tea led to renounce the further exten
si9n OF pr ~ sny; that if they were not troubled
OF distu,ae@ in the enjoyment of the many
wives wb cls they now possess, they would not
III the to 1ss, sanction the marrying of more
than one va We hoped sincerely that such
was the ua but it seems that we are mista-
ken, and h9tthis people are still determined
to hurry n i their wild career of folly and
wee, and toe airy out their destructive system
