BRIGHAM YOUNG PROPOSES To SELL OUT TO
TIE GOVERNMENT. Captain Gibson passed
though st, Louis on the 10th, on his way to
Washington, as bearer of important dis
patches from Utah to the General Govern
ment We understand, says the Democrat,
that these dispatches embrace propositions
from Brigham Y Young, to sell out the Nor
mon property at Salt Lake City and vicinity
to the United States, the Saints to evacuate
the Territory, and remove to some point on
the Pacific coast, either in the British Fos-
sessions or within the boundaries of the Uni
ted States, where they will establish new
home for themselves and followers.
There is no doubt that Brigham Young is
induced to take this course by the recent
heavy immigration to Pixies Peak, and the
rapid extension of the power of the G9ntiies
toward the immediate neighborhood Of the
prophets dominions. The documents which
Captain Gibson has in his possession Will no
doubt shortly be made public.

The SLoUGH.-In the Express, of yester-
day, appeared a very reasonable article re-
commencing some speedy action on the part
of the -eity fathers in regard to the Slough
in the western part of the town. 1t does
seem as though that nuisance could be rene
died very easily by putting in sewer or
drain pipe at the outlet of the slough and in
addition building an embankment across it at
the upper end of the drain, to prevent the
river from backing up at all into it; flood
gate being placed at this point so arranged
as to close against the entrance of the water
from without, but allowing whatever may
have entered to pass out when high water
has subsided.
The cost Of such an arrangement would be
trifing, compared to the convenience afford
ed for crossing the slough at any point, in
stead of having TO travel long way around
to one of the bridges, as many have now to
do who have business "across the slough
besides the far weighher matter of getting
rid of the foul sickness breeder" as the Ex-
press justly callsit

FATAL AccDENT-On Tuesday last. Mr..
John Gray of Nevada was accidentally killed.
He had started, says the Democrat, for Eure.
ka with Sales express wagon, containing
about 900 pounds of goods. While going
down the hill at Illinois Bridge man named
Nash met him; he was then walking by the
side of the team. Soon after Nash passed
him, he heard an unusual noise, and looking
back saw Gray lying in the road, the wagon
wheels having passed over his head His
skull was badly fractured, and he died before
Nash could get to the place where he was
lying.

GARIBALDI ANNOUNCING NicroRY.-pis-
patches have been received from Palermo by
the Sandman Government, which fully con
firms not only the victory obtained by Carl
baldi at Calatafmi over the 1000 Neapoli-
tans led by LAMA, but the more important
one, which placed the heights surrounding
Palermo in the hands OF the Sicilian patriots
The first of these victories is further con-
frmed in a letter addressed by Garibaldi
himself to Rosalino Pilo, Count of Capace,
from Calatafmi, under date of the 10th
May:
yesterday, we fought and won. The
enemy is flying towards Palermo. The pop
ulatons are in high spirits and Join my
camp by thousands. Tomorrow, l shall
march on Alcamo. Tell the Sicilians that
the hour is come to put an end to their slav-
cry and that we shall do it soon. Every
arm is good for the brave-musket, scythe,
hatehet, nail at the top of stick. Unite
with them. Thwart the enemys plans as
much as possible. Light bonfres upon all
the heights which surround the Neapolitan
troops. During the night, kill as many of
the enemy's outpost sentries as you can. In
tereept the communications In word,
harass the enemy as much as you are able.
l hope to see you soon.

Ice CREAM.-An ice cream establishment
was sold out, yesterday, under the hammer
of the Constable. The fitting up of the sa-
loon cost considerable money-employment
of labor also good deal-rent not small
acknowledgement expenses tolerably heavy,
and the institution failed. This is not the
first time that an ice cream saloon has "gone
in," in Marysville. A certain Mr.. Kelley
started saloon of the kind, here in 1868, as
we are informed, (for we were not here, and
expected to do big business The first
night that he opened, he invited the public
generally to give him call and partake OF
his luxuries-free. The whole town was on
hand, the rich and the poor, especially the
rich. Men, with their families, were pres
ent who had never been known to eat ice
cream before and have never tasted any since
The old and the young We're there. Parents
who had left their children at home returned
and sent their offspring to the feast. Con-
dictionaries were also a part Of the establish,
ment, and hundreds of pounds of candy, nuts,
raisins ct ceterd, were borne away that night
in the pockets and aprons of greedy urchins
and laughing misses. 1t was free thing,
and freely did the people partake.
The entertainment ended at last, and Kelly
looked around to see what was left. Not
only was every particle of ice cream gone,
but there was not a raisin, or n nut, or a stick
of candy high or low, in the entire building
Next day, Kelly closed out, lie had nothing
left, upon which to proceed in his business
His capital and his stock were both exhausted
He had expected to invite attention to his
business and acquire popularity, by giving q
free feast, but he did not expect to be eaten
clean out and teetotally devoured at the first
onslaught.
The present clse-the failure Of the saloon
alluded to at the beginning of this article
is not a parallel one with the case Of Kelley,
but suggests it, and we mention it as fact
connected with the history of ice cream sa-
looms in this city. BY the way. it is some
what strange that in a city SO much com
planned of abroad as being intolerably hot
ice cream saloons go down, because it is toe
cool for demand for the commodity.

INQUEsT.-At an inquest held in San Fran

the jury found that deceased was from New

death by pistol ball, fred by himself, for
the purpose OF destroying life, while under
temporary mental alteration. We are told,
says the Bulletin, that Mr. Wyckoff was a

California-and lately his dyspepsia had been

SHEEP RAIsING.-S. b. Rockwell, the great
sheep raiser, writing for the Solano Herald
says; Sheep are the most profitable of all
the domestic animals. A given amount of
capital invested in good, fne-wooled sheep,
will give in the period of five or seven years,
an income greater, by rs to 100 per cent,
than if invested in any other of the domestic
animals. One thousand dollars invested in
good sheep in California, will double in one
half the time it would if invested in cattle,
horses or hogs.
