GREAT INsTIruTIoN.-Wem mentioned some
time since that huge red cart with sprin-
king attachment was in state Of compile
ton, and prepared to subjugate the dust
for which our streets are So justly celebrated
and so excusably cursed. The ink was hardly
dry with which that announcement was writ
ten, when the windows of Heaven were
opened, the rain fell, ETC., and the red cart
became merely an useless ornament. The
streets have dried, the dust has begun to arise,
and the services of the cart are in requisition.
Last evening the streets were sprinkled excel
iently well, and from the movements of an
individual who is tinkering around the con-
Germ IN front of our window as we are writing
this squib, the operation is to be repeated.

PERsoNAL.-That old scallywag of a saw
age, John X. Lovejoy. the Piute, called to
see us this morning. He looks like as if he
had just Joined the temperance society-and
he wears most shockingly bad white hat
even hat that reminds one of preacher
just returned from camp-meeting where he
might have been wrestling with the spirit.
Lovejoy says he will publish the first number
of his newspaper-the Piute-(Moses what
4 name) on Monday next, in the city of Vir-
GINA. He certainly has our best wishes for
his success. May the "Piute" race of the
LoveJoy tribe be more beneficial to the coun-
try than its illustrious predecessor.
Ho! FOR BoIsE.-A party of ten men from
Calaveras county, California, passed through
town yesterday, on their way to Boise. Each

them luck, but We are confident that they are
passing through a country now which is
much richer and has more advantages than
the one to which they are going.
