Volcano, Jan. 18th, 1858 4
EDs. LEDcER:---Very little Of Importance
has occurred during the last week in the
Vorld-reuowned Crater City,
The votaries of pleasure were RECALLED du-
ring the FIRST part of the week with the usual
number Of dog fights, drunken squaws, &c,
which refined recreation was changed this
morning to the scientific game of SNOWFALL
ing. Many an unlucky AomJre was forcibly
reminded Of his juvenile days by receiving
condensed quantity Of the aakey element up |
on that part of his person on which condign |
punishment is usually administered during
our school-boy days. Everybody, however,
appeared to take it all in good part, only |
seeking to return the compliment at the ear
lcst opportunity ~ lI. .'ia ~
The "Callco Party which comes off here
On the evening of the 22d, appears to be the
grand topic of conversation at present
Great preparations are being made, and all
anticipate glorious time. The counters Of
the dry goods stores are covered with prints
Of every hue, shade and texture, aud sur
rounded by bevies of the fair sex, who seem
TO experience more difficulty in selecting a
calico dress for this occasion than they would
IN choosing bridal robe II the weather is
favorable there will undoubtedly be a large
attendance. ~
A number of our citizens are forming q
military company in this place, and although
Y Is TO be organized under the Military Act
Oh 90 believe it is understood among the
members that they hold themselves in readi-
meas tor the Utah War; to use the language
Ol one Of the members (and believe Of
'omebody else, "their souls are in arms and
eager for the iray.Y 1t is to be hoped that
.ney will show proper degree of leniency
towards Brigham, and not make seventy old 4
Vldows "at one fell swoop.v
