The MoRMoNs IN REvrvAL.-We publish to-
day some interesting intelligence from Utah.
The Mtrmons, it appears, have had religious
revival, which lasted four days, during which
the Saints were addressed by Brigham Young,
and sundry other shining lights of the Mormon
Tabernacle. The tenor of the discourses, as
we'll as the general sentiment of the people
was, according to our special correspondent
exceedingly mild, and presents striking con-
trast to the clustering and defiant tone which
some time ago characterized every speech and
newspaper article emanating from Salt Lake
Vity. We give report Of Brigham Yeung's

without employing any of the fire and brim-
stone style Of oratory for which he is remarka-.

Our New City GOvernment-An Amenl
ment OF the Charter Required.


The election is over and the Mayor and Cor
poration are chosen. Upon the character OF
both we have previously expressed our opinion
We are satisfied of Mr.. Woods good intentions,
but we believe that the two boards of the Com
mon Council are about the worst we have ever
had. The Comptroller has declared his estimates
of the expenditures for the coming year 1860,
and they are lower by nearly million and halt
than those of the current year. That fact, how
ever, carries little consolation with it. because
the Common Council will undoubtedly increase
it by perhaps two or three millions Such
has been heretofore the result of the action Of
previous Corporations; and as 1t is admitted by
all parties that the one Just elected is the most
corrupt and degraded this city has ever seen,
there is no ground to hope for anything but
worse state of things than has heretofore ex.
listed in our municipal legislature.
We have confidence in Mr. Wood; and in spite
of all the abuse lavished upon him, we believe
that he means to administer the government
efficiently, so far as it lies within the means OF
his limited authority. We have confidence in
Comptroller Haws; he is all honest mar, who
will not become party to any fraudulent dis
position of the public funds. We have conf
dence, too, in the new Corporation Counsel,
Judge Bronson; he is a man of strict integrity
andirreproachable character, and we are certain
that he will not permit any unjust claims
to be recovered against the. city by de
fanlt. The Mayor and Corporation Coun-
sci will assume the functions Of their respec
tive departments on the LIST Of January
and we have no doubt that they, as well as Mr.
Haws, will perform their duties faithfully. But

insure us good, economical government. We

bracelets upon his wrists. Mr.. Let's
Immediately searched him and found a

letters upon his person. Some of the
letters were written in the "rogues

money. Another was from Indiana,
offering Stearns a safe retreat until the

~A woman named Mrs. Power

A woman named Mrs. Powers,
of Lawton, was brought to this village
by John Let's on Monday morning
last, charged with aiding in the escape
of, and consealing John Stearns, the
person now in jail charged with shoot
ing F. G. Larzelere. Her examination
was to take place yesterday. John is
evidently determined to bring the
whsle gang to justice while he is at it.
P. S.-Since the above was in type
we learn that the woman Powers has
been held to bail in the sam of $500
for her appearance at further exami-
nation on Monday next. 1t is now
thought that the entire party concerned
in the burglary and shooting are now
safely lodged in Jail.

eW We have often, we do al,cay,
admire the quaint simplicity of the
prattle of little children. We have
frequently been put to our wits end by
the questions they have asked US, and
have wondered at the manner in which
they go to the bottom of a subject and
demand reasons for that for which we
have no reasons to give. Sometimes
however they place one in dilemma
which, were it not amusing would be
decidedly embarrassing.
A short time since we had the pleas.
ure of visiting family, where among
other attractions was little boy about
two years old, who amused us greatly
by his endeavors to talk. He had al
ready mastered several sentences which
he was continually repeating greatly to
the edification of his parents and their
friends. Among other things, he had
been taught to say "hurry up your
cakes" which he frequently repeated
with great animation. One morning
we were seated at the table and the
writer was requested to ask blessing.
The first sentence had hardly been ut
tered in compliance with the request,
when Charlie with more than ordinary
animation and in a tone that is indies
cribable, sung out, hurry up your
cakes" producing an effect so ludicrous
that it is needless to say the blessing
was cut short on that occasion, while
every one at the table INDUCED in a
hearty peal of laughter. =

INSTALLATION. A public installa-
ton of the officers of Dowagiac Lodge,
No. 10, of F. & A. N. took place at the
81. E. Church, in this village on Tues
.dav evening last. The installation
ceremonies were conducted in very

Bro. A. G.. Hubbard, and were witnessed
by large con aggregation Of our citizens.
Bro. Hibbard also delivered the closing
address, which was one of the finest
and most appropriate efforts that 1t has
ever been our good fortune to listen to.
Did our space permit nothing would
afford US greater pleasure, than to give
a general review of the lecture, in order
that our readers might see Masonry in
what we think is its true light and
bearings, but as we understand that
an effort will be made to induce Bro.
Hubbard to allow it to be published
entire we forbear for the present.

following resolutions were adopted
unanimously:

taken before Justice Bowling, confessed
the theft, paid fine of $40 and left for
