Good Neps. I'VE understand that the con-
slough between this place and Cedar City
This will be good news to farmers of the up
per Cedar Valley, and others whe are in the
habit Of drawing produce to this market
from the other side of the river. Heretofore
this short strip of road has been almost i'm.
passable during the spring and fall, but the
bridging of the slough will give us good
road, by allowing free passage for the wa
ter in tina of freshe:s, and thus prevent the
washing out Of the embankment as hereto
fore. Enough has been expended there al
ready in endeavoring to make a good road
to pile the whole distance from the river
bridge to Cedar City.

was new recreation, and consequently they
did not appear to as good advantage as in the
drawing-rooms of home. We noticed sever.
al, however, who skated well, but for the
most part they made no great display Of pro-
ficiency, except when they fell down, when
they would display-great agility in getting
up again. 1t is practice that makes perfect,
and by the time Of another skating season
we may expect to see the noyices of.the pres
ent winter skillful performers. There is no
more healthy and cnlivening exercise than
skating, and we are glad that the ladies are
adoptingit.

Skatin9.-These moonlight evenings skat-

the epidemic, and the lassie who does
not skate is quite out Of fashion. We went

swift long sweeps and steady poise would
almost convince you that the skater had new

the wake of the expert came the new begin

more attitudes than were ever thought Of by

What Sorghum cont do.-Sorghum is a
:" big thing" it is one Of the staples of this
State, but there is one thing it is not worth
continental for, and that is printers rollers.
We know, because We have given it a fair tri.
al. Our readers may have noticed that for
two or three weeks past our paper has work.
ed mserably: sorghum was the sole ca,ise.
Some three weeks ago we made new roller,
and used sorghum syrup instead of sugar
house." To all appearance the roller was a
tip-top one, it was soft and had a smooth sur
face, but it would not do good work, nor
could it be made to. There is some proper
ty in the stuff that will not amalgamate with
printers ink, and if you do get the ink dis.
tributed on the roller you cannot get it off
on to the type. This is our experience With
sorghum in roller making, and we find on in
quiry that We are not the only ones who
have experimental with it. and in every case
the result has been the same. We note this
for the benefit of the craft, so that Others
can take warning, and escape our streak OF
bad luck.
