short trip to the country has satisfied us that
Hp to this time, the young fruit has been only
partially injured. Three fourths Of the
peaches were killed by the first cold snap
but the frost that destroyed the peaches
gave the apples, cherries, plans and pears a
"set back" which saved them. In exposed
localities, the peaches were entirely killed
but in many portions of Illinois, conveniently
situated to the ST. Louis market, the damage
was only partial,-St. Louis Intel.

LATER FROM UTAH.

Expected Erodus of Five 7Housaad Aposiate
Recommendation rih Federal Troops.
The Dessret Valley Tan, Of the 18th March
contains the following news of interest:
The Deseret News is filed with a lot Of
heroglypbcs, which is styled the Deseret al
pbabet. 1t seems to be vocabulary in which
the Mormons alone are to be taught.
The Valley Tan thinks that between four
and hvs thousand persons will leave that ter.
ritory for the States and California, all OF
them apostates from the Mormon Church, iu
few months.
Prior to the 22d of February, it had been
Rtorming for three weeks. 1t was the seve-
rest weather ever experienced 10 Utah The

rumor Of collision between troops sta.
toned at Provo and Mormon citizens, pre-.
veiled at Salt Lake City on the 10TH The
troops we're stationed there by order Of Judge
Oradelbaugh, during the session of his Court.
The Mormons petitioned the Governor on
the subject, and he went to Provo to exam
Inc into it. 1t was supposed hat the Court
would adjourn on the 18th and that nothing
would be Gone except to try two Indians, the
Church hierarchy that controls this people
overreachiug the Jurisdiction of the United
States Courts. Judge Cradelbaugh thus ex-
plains this matter in his charge to the Grand
Jury;
''Some United States troops are here. -
Perhaps it ia an unusual thing for them to
be here knew that there were those who
were guilty. out of the camp, and also that
there were many guilty around here of nu-
merous offences. | was informed that there
was no prison here, and those troops we're
sent by the commanding general. at my re-
quest, to take care of the prisoners now in
custody, aud not to interfere with any one.-
They are here to take care of and preserve
the peace. lfprisoners are brought they will
be taken care OF, and the whole authority OF
the troops is to detain those persons in Gus.
tody that may be taken prisoners until they
are called for by the Court, and they have no
power beyond that"
The Judge, in his charge to the Grand Ju.
ry. refers to the fact that attempts had been
made to destroy the Court and its usefulness,
and even to bring the jurors into disrepute.-
He refers to many cases OF murder aud crime
committed throughout the district, but in
which no indictments had been found by pre-.
vious Mormon Grand Juries.
