Important From Salt Lake.

The Indian Massachusetts Men and One Wo-
man Killed-New Route to California-Thirty
Indians Killed-The Mormon Troubles.
ST.. LOUIS, Sept. 14.-We have received
Salt Lake papers of the 18th ult. They are
filled with outrages in the Mormon country.
Superintendent Forney reports that from
the information which he has acquired in re-
lation to the recent Indian massacre. in which
six men and one woman We're killed, and one
littla girl wounded, he is led to believe that
the butchery was instigated by white men,
Statements have been made, under oath, to
the effect that white men were engaged with
the Indians in the work of slaughter.
Capt. Simpson, of the Typographical Engi-
neers, has made a report that he had explored
and surveyed two new routes to California
the result of which is, that there is saving
of three hundred miles over the Humboldt
and st. Mary's River route.
Lloyd Pike was assassinated by Mormon,
named Spencer, while attending Court at Salt
Lake. The affair created an intense excite
ment there.
The assassination of Frank Mcneil and
Sergeant Pike is believed to have been done
by order of Brigham Young.
The Mormons declare that the Genties
elected to the Legislature shall not take their
seats.
In a battle between GAYS Company OF
Dragons and party of Shashone Indians,
the enemy was repulsed with the loss ofthirty
killed.
The overland mail had been much delayed
by the incessant rains.
The Apache and Canianche Indians were be-
coming quite troublesome along the route.

ne The design of monument to be sub
mitted to the Charleston Calhoun Monument
Association, is now in process of completion
by sculptor of South Carolina. The model
Of the mausoleum is said to he exquisite, and
has engaged all the leisure moments of the
artist for two years. 1t is furnished with four
glass doors, and is to be the receptacle of the
remains of John c Calhoun.
ATnRIvixG ClrY.-The Savannah Republi-
can, of Friday last, says that no less than
fourteen steamships, all heavily freighted, are
expected at this port in the course of fort
night. This is sufficient evidence ola growing
city and increasing trade, due in great part to
the large number Of railroads by which the
State of Georgia and others adjoining have
been opened to market.
DZs The steamships Atlantic, Baltic, Adriatic,
late Of the Collins line, bnt owned by the PAN
anna Railroad and Pacific Steamship Company, un-
der the title ofthe North Atlantic Steamship Com
pany, are q the wharves in New York undergoing
thorough repairs, in order to 1T them for their new
destination.

where entertainments were given, which were
succeeded by visit to the Theatre and TO Il

the serenaders handsome entertainment,
which was repeated to-day, upon the occa-

DREADFUL RESULTS FROM HYnRopHoBlA.-A
letter from Portsmouth, Ohio, written by
lady to her husband in Louisville. Ky,
makes mention of an extraordinary circum-
stance. short time ago young lady was
bitten by dog. Hydroyhobia manifested
itself on her, and while confined by the disease
she bit her sister, who was waiting on her.
The sister was soon attacked by the same di-
sease and bit her mother. All three were alive

DISASTROUS CONFEDERATION AT HALL
FAX, N. s.

Fifty Buildings Destroyed, Including the
Principal Dry Goods Establishments Of the
City.
HALIFAX, Sept. ia tremendous conlag-
ration occurred in this city early on Saturday
morning. Two whole blocks on Granville
street. numbering fifty buildings, and includ-
ing thirteen extensive dry goods stores, were
totally destroyed. The damage is not esti-
mated, but it must necessarily be very large.
The blocks CONSUMED are those facing each
other on Granville street, the south ends being
what are known as Murdoch's corner on the
one side, and Romans corner on the other,
and on the north end, Dufus' corner OH the one
side, and Silver's on the other. These blocks
contained the largest dry goods establishments
of the city, including Duflus & Co. 's.-W. G..
Murdoch's, Il. Billings, Jr., Il Co., tho Woollen
Hall, Graham's Book Sto.e, Sc. The buildings
with few exceptions, were all of wood. The
loss cannot be less than 5000, 600

ENJOYING A LAUGH.

Who does not love to laugh, at times p
Where is the man or woman that doesn't find
it 4 relief to smile and be happyl And who
so dull but he can occasionally enjoy, right
heartily, a well-planned or q well-related Jest!
Perhaps we have been blessed with an extra
ordinary pleasant disposition-and perhaps
not nevertheless, We can laugh, and enjoy
it, too.
II is now some years since the old-styled
hymns, originally adopted and sung i'll the
Puritan churches, were laid aside, for the i'm
proved and beautiful hymns of DR.. Watts and
others. But We can recollect u good many
stanzas that used to be 'deaconed off, line by
line, and sung by the congregation, which
were emphatically amusing. Imagine, dear
reader, meeting house full of people drawl-
ing out the following, for instance:
'''Ihe race is not forever got,
By him who fastest runs;
Nor the battle by those people
Who shoots with the longest guns"
Now isn't that poetical? AT least, there
is strong tincture of truth in these homely
lines, which may be commended to the notice
of our fast" young men. The following
lines, addressed to the Sunshine very well
agree with the preceding, although of modern
origin;
All hail, the glorious Sun,
Bright as u new tin pan,
Though roundest, fairest, purest source
OF bread and cheese to man."
Then we have n touching alusion to the
pomatum, or Macassar, which old uncle Aaron
swabbed his whiskers with on a certain oc-
casion ride the following:
"'Tis like the precious ointment
Down Aaron's beard did go;
Down Aaron's beard it downward went,
His garment skirts unto.n
The next couplet is u thrilling and master
ly address to whales, vampires, sharks, tom
cod, halibut, scuppog cells, carpies, of set id
omne genus"-really beautiful verse to sing
in church.
"Ye monsters of the bubblng deep,
Your Makers praises spout;
Up from the same We codlings peep,
And wag your tails about"
The quotations made above are very well
known and have been cllanted, scores of times
by many of our readers-undoubtedly, in
good old times. The poetry and sentiment OF
these couplets are equalled only by two gems
in the way OF epitaphs, which may now he
seen upon the gravestones of two rivals, in a
churchyard near London. The first reads
" Here lie,
Snug as a bug,
Ina rug"
The man who died afterwards determined
not to be outdone by his competitor and caus
ed the following to be cut upon his tablet,
which stands close by that his former rival.
!" Here lies,
little snugger,
Than that other buggerl''
The above may be set down as old-tme
specimens of grave and sentimental poetry"

LITTLE TOO Mucn OF THE JoKE.-A Joke is
considered by some persons as public property,
and to be used whenever an opportunity pre-
sents itself, notwithstanding the sold indi-
vidualsOmetimes suffers severely by the pranks
of his humorous friend, the joker. case
came under our notice yesterday which, al
though fun TO some, was the reverse to others.
1t was as follows; While strolling about the
various wharves on Locust Point we came
across a gang of laborers engaged in loading
Il ship with coal. Not having urgent business
to attend to, we halted and watched the move
ments ofthe workmen. While observing them
one of the number left his wheelbarrow, and
from behind pile Of timber MYSTERIOUS
black bottle was produced. 1t now struck us
that the finder of the bottle intended to take
a horn, and in this surmise we were not mstak-
en-, for with grace supreme the bottle was
lifted on high, and the neck so arranged that
it fitted to a nicely to the mouth ofthe thirsty
Hibcrnan. The vacuum of Pats throat eX
banded, and down surged the liquid, as far as
we could judge, half pint. Upon removing
the bottle Pats face presented such fearful
contorions that we imagined that he was go
ing to stand for pictures to embelish comic
almanac. lie gave "ugh,' and exclaimed ;
''What the divil's that If that's what they
call speret it must have been distilled by the
divil himself it's so hot"
''It's hot is it, exclaimed a companion who
had just approached Pat, 'then that's the stuff
for me-" Up went the bottle, and down went
the supposed crtter. Another ugly face was
witnessed by us, and No. exclaimed "Be
me soul, and it is hot Murther, how hot it
makes me feel here, (clappnghis hands upon
his corporation that must be the real ould
Irish whiskey."
"Arrah, now, don't yebe saying that, " cries
No. 3, "sure there's no rale Irish whiskey in
this country" In Order however, that he
might judge for limselfhe INDUCED in slong
pull aud a strong pull" and then came the
denoeUment The bottle went in one direction
while No. sped in another, shouting that he
was ''pisned, = and the stuffwhich he bad been
drinking would kilss him entirely. Of course
No. and 2 now began to feel leetle skeery; ;
no time was to be lost; away they went, and
about this time n hullabaloo was kicked up in
the neigbourhood which induced the residents
to think that all the roughs from the city, had
taken possession ofthe island. Upon examin-
alton it was found that n hand on board of one
of the vessels had observed Pat when he hid
his bottle, and watching an opportunity, the jo-
ker removed the whiskey bottle, and aubstiut-
ed in its place bottle of spirits of wine and
camphor, which decoction had been used for
the determination of bed bugs, and which it
was thought by the drinkers would extermi-
nate them.
