Salt Lake City.

Haper's Weekly gives an account o.
Salt Lake City, from which we learn thai
ii is four miles in length by three in
breadth, covering twelve squars miles oI
ground. The streets are laid out at right
angles, and each are 1872 feet wide. The
sidewalks are 23 feet in width. A city
ordinance requires that each house shall
be set 90 feet from the street, and that
shade trees shall be planted in 'front.'
Each block from street to street is fifty
rods square, and eight building lots are
allowed to, each block. The dwellings,
are mostly long, one.story brick build
ings. The city has pleasant appearance.
The river Jordan, uniting Great Salt and
Utah lakes, is West Of the city. To the
South for the distance Of 25 miles. is a
plain. On the East and North are the
slopes Of the mountain range. There j.
a hot spring near the city. a stream from
which the Mormons have turned into
their bathing houses. A stream Of water
running through the. site where the city
stands has been turned by various branch
es into each street. supplying each fami-
ly with pure water; and these streams
enable the inhabitants to raise trees and
flowers which could nc. be grown in that
climate withoutirrigation. The city was
founded in the fall Of 1847. ao9 'as'9l

BeT~ In our issue Of Monday last, we
suggested to our Common Council, the
propriety Of supplying cur night Watch
with dark lanterns.
We have now another suggestion to
make, which we sincerely hope will meet
with the favorable consideration Of our
Councils.
The night Watch of our city run
great risk in going on their rounds at
night-they have no arms of any conse-
qucnce given them by the city to DEFEND
themselves against the assaults that are
often made upon them. On last Sunday
morning, if watchmen Messick and West
had been in possession Of the proper
weapons to defend themselves, while dis
charging their duty against the cruel and
barbarous treatment they received at
the hands of the low set, who inhabit
Irish Row, things would have been quite
different. We propo then that the
Councils supply our watchmen with the
necessary articles asked for.

YOUTHFUL DEPRAvIrY.-Perhaps our
readers may remember that a short time
ago we gave an account of a set of boys
who committed sundry dcprcdations in
our city on the property Of our Citizens,
and were arrested, and examined by Ma
gistrate W W Lamb, Esq, This Honor
the Mayor being absent from the city at
the tilne) who excused all the crowd on
account of their age, with the exception
Of a boy named George Malo-who was
old enough to know that he was doing
wrong-Magistrate Lamb sent this boy
to Jail for few days, as punishment
for the offence of which he had been
guilty, and the Mayor on his return dir
charged this boy from confinement on
his sacred promise that he, the boy,
would never again be guilty of similar
act. Now let us see how this youthful
rogue has kept his premise.
Yesterday afternoon he went into the
office of gentleman on Catherine street
lin the gentleman's absence) and took
several articles, which he offered for sale
at shop close by, which were purchas-
by the person attending in the shop at the
time, he not knowing the character Of
the boy. When the woman who owns
the establishment returned, she was in
formed of the purchase and Immediately
recognized the articles as the property of
the gentleman from whom they were
stolen, she having been employed by
this gentleman for some time past to
clean his office.
This boy is now at large, and in our
opinion he should be arrested and confn-
ed until he can learn how to behave in
proper manner.
We advocate this doctrine: any boy
that has sense enough to steal, has sense
enough to know that he is doing wrong
We leave the matter to those whose
duty it is to attend to it.

WHERE WAS THE GAs.-Afthough the
streets of Portsmouth last Monday night
were almost equal to mortar beds. and
dark as the dungeons midnight, and the
wind blowing 80 cold and fierce, as to al
most shave ones ears from his head as he
turned corner, and snow falling as
though the whole dark clouded Hea-
vens had turned into one vas field of
cotton and all creation was engaged in
picking it, and cleaning it by dropping
it, frozen to earth; notwithstanding all
these powerful means by which to force
every one who dared go upon the street,
to pass to and fro, as fast as nature could
carry him, giving him no time whatev-
er to look ahead for mud holes, there
was not a single light to be seen in the
whole domain of Portsmouth. We think
that if there ever is a time requiring
lights upon the streets, it is upon such
nights as those.

Cows.-We have of late beard numer-
Gus complaints among the merchants and
citizens Of Portsmouth living and doing
business on High and Crawford street,
about cows roaming there and there, and
everywhere they feel disposed, even in
the very thoroughfares Of our city. Now
II we mistake not, there is a law prohib-
iting this, and ifso, we think that law
should be put into effect and put an end
to these things.
There are great many cows owned by
the citizens of Portsn outh, living in that
part of the city, known as the ''old
field" and it is fact, that it is some
times almost dangerous for lady, and
especially for children to pass some
streets in that part Of Portsmouth alone.
But as we said in the onset, their wander
ings are not confined to this part alone.
for it has not been twelve M onths
since we saw COW attempt IL gore a
lady on the corner Of Crawford a q Hig b

booked her horns in the lady's clothes,
raised her some two feet high, and drop

ing we were told by a gentleman resi-
! ding on High street, that it was no un-
! common thing for COWS to make shell

/ to undertake to enuricrate the many in
stances of harm done by COWS in the bu-
sincss parts Of Portsmouth, only saying,
we think in our humble opinion, that it
would be much the best were they kept

snow whic h ad fallen the previous day
and night. throwing her at full length,
upon her face in the mud and water. The

woman, of course dropped her bucket of
eggs, breaking several dozen, while her
basket relied one way, ham another, su-
