Is The H0IIDAYs. Our numerous
duties and engagements have prevented
Us from passing around the city to
personally witness, as journalists, the
variety Of entertainments that have
been provided for the inhabitants of.
the twenty wards now constituting
| Great Salt Lake City; but as far as
we have Witnessed and learned through
others, the community generally have
enjoyed, and still enjoy, the entertain
fments peculiar to this season Of the
year, without anything having occurred

moment, on to burthen unp1easantly.f
future memory with the recollections
thereof Many Of the wards have /
already had their CAV seasons Of as |.
seinbhng together to dance, and toll
renew acquaintance and to add FRIEND
ship thereto. Other ward parties have
yet 70 come, which We hope Will be as |

We have been much pleased to learn

and partaking at the festive board |.
through the proyident and fatherly care
Of their respective bishops, and we take /.
special pleasure in recording that mol:

party has reached our ears. The alb 4
sence Of Intoxicating beverages from
the ballroom, and from every place
connected Herewith, is worthy 81 par Il

by this, however. we have no DISPOSE
ton TO cfitieise our ncighbors. The Il,
seunco cody" abroad may think what
they please OF our habits, customs and
pecnliarities, now and at anytime else; /
we we only take the trouble to inform all
such ll that the Mormons enjoy their /
mountain home, and while we live. ID
breathe, have our being and preserve \
our reason, we purpose keeping the II
commandments Of God, acting justly : !
e all men, minding our own business, :
and doing Just as We please, SO that We Il
never curtailthe liberty or enjoyment

Ward party, held in the Social Hall, &
ast Saturday, we we're certainly much 8 8
with our visit there. We have Il
Witnessed many gatherings elsewhere in a
