Goops ARRIvING.-Several wagons ar
rived in town this morning from the
west, with merchandise for several of
our principal dealers. A number more

day and tomorrow.
For SALT LAKE CITy.-During yes
terday seven wagons arrived in town
from Carson on the route to Salt Lake
City, laden with goods, wares, and
merchandise, designed to afford aid
and comfort" to the latter end saints.
FRESH TRoUr.-A choice lot Of fresh
trout, large and fat, arrived in town
this morning from the Humboldt, and
all the restaurants display the fnny
darlings. We advise every n to buy
some and eat them, and feel like Chris
tians.
The FIRST SLEIGHING.-This morn
ing a lively little party in q sleigh
dashed along Main street at a killing
pace, enjoying the delights of the initial
sleigh-ride of the season. The sport
lasted nearly a quarter of an hour, there
being about "two muds to one snow
rs an admiring spectator quantity ex-
pressed it.
WHO KNOWS BEsT?-We were highly
amused last evening ut hearing the fol-
lowing story told by a person in illus
tration of the peculiar logic Of an oppo-
nent. The speaker said a few years ago
he was living in Missouri, and his neigh
Dor had a negro named Ephe, who was
a regular attendant at church, and was
proud of his Bible learning. He was
saving wood one day, while his masters
son, a lad of about twelve years, was
looking on, and now and then asking
questions. (which Of the Apostles does
o like best?" asked Ephe. "Well,
don't know" drawled the boy. 81 likes
Samson" said Ephe; she was so strong,
and piled up dem wicked folks So"
"Why, Ephe," replied the boy, laugh
ing, "Samson wasn't n Of the Apos-
ties" Ephe put down his saw, and
looked at the youngster q moment in
amazement, and then asked him with
an air Of triumph, "Look here, white
boy, how old am your" "Twelve,"
replied the boy. DWELL, Use forty
now, who ought to know best?-l az
you dat"

PAHRANAGAT.-It has been demon.
strated that the distance between Pah.
ranagat and this city, over an excel
lent natural route, does not exceed lSC
TO 200 miles. Messrs. Lane, Cole, and
Schaeffer, with two wagons, arrived
in town on Monday, direct from Pah.
ranagat in eight days. The latter per-
son is keeping store there, and has come
here to purchase merchandise, which he
intends sending over the same route,
Leaving Silver Canon, the party passed
south Of Mount Irish into Round Valley
over which they crossed to Quinn's
Canon, about fifty miles n%orth-north'
west. They cotinued this course, pass
ing some 20 miles north Of the Reveillt
District, until they entered Hot Greek
District, through which they passed
| over Stonebarger's toll road to Austin
delighted with the country over which
they had travelled. The party made 6
slight deviation from q direct course, a!
the projected toll road hence to Pahrana'
gat, via Hot Creek and Reveille, will pas!
through the latter as well a the former
district. Grass of excellent quality ant
several varieties abound along the en-
tire route, and water is ever plentiful
Timber is scattered on the direct line
travelled, though there is ample for fuel
but the hills contain the nut-pine in
abundance. One point only was OBJ
served where work was needed to mod
ify the outline Of an abrupt but short
hill, and that was at Quinn's Canon
The rest of the route was as easy ano
| pleasant as the way to matrimony. Mr.
Schaeffer is highly pleased with the
| route-and he has reached Pahranagat
by others-which affords facilities fol
obtaing supplies quickly and cheaply
1t bids fair to become N of the mos
important roads in the State. For in 6
little time a Gordon of mining camps
soon to be converted into towns-wil
stretch from Austin 200 miles to Pah'
ranagat, and along this whole route
farms and stations and taverns will be
planted, until the whilom wilderness:
will be resonent with the industry o.
e%nterprising and civilized man.
