nit' .tnese oneeS are 1ully competent,
and we think no better selections could
have been made. Mr.. Guy the old in
cumbent gave universal satisfaction du-
ring the past year as clerk. Mr.. Hunter
is new 10 the business, but from his we'll
known regularity, intelligence and ener-
gy, we are confident that the ardnous
duties of his Office will be strictly per-
formed.
CoNvENIENcE.-In one of the North
ern churches the pews are arranged
on pivots, so that the sitters can turn
to see people come in without twisting
their necks.
If the cost be not too great would it
not be good idea to introduce this con-
venient fashion in our churches? Think
Of it church officials and there need be
no "fairs" for the purpose either, for the
project is so generally advantageous,
that it may be easily done by private
subscription.
GONE GL1MMER1NG.-The. inhabitants
living and carrying on business in. the
neighhorhood of the brick hotel, must
experience sensible feeling of relief at
the departure Of the latter-day saint who
occupied the hole in the wall, Under the
aforesaid hotel, and who made night
hideous with his everlasting auction, his
cries of feefty cents or von dollar, which
came out with a roll and apparently,
from the bottom of his heart, and the
changing Of his wretehed bell. But be is
gone, and to parts unknown We sincerely
trust, and that the place which unfortu-
nately knew him so long; will know him
no more, forever. He owes. US no
"monish" and if he did we would forgive
the debt, because we are happy in the
idea that"we "shall never more behold
him." hereabouts at least.
MILITARY ApPoINrMENTs.-The follow
ing appointments for Intendent and
Wardens for the town of New berry have
been made by Gen: Candy: '-....

NONE or OUR BUSINESS in so
far that it is our duty to preserve order,
and prevent Lloodshcd, if possible. On
Monday last, about high noon, we Wit
messed display of .wrathful indignation,
which terri6cally exceeded anything of
the kind we had, ever seen before. More
the pity;too, that the wrathy man is or
einarily one Of the gcnt:est, most. for
bearing, kindest and long-suheri6g of
men. But patience and goodness, have
limits, and our friend is now ready t6
scalp the individual who has injured him,
and will do it too if not revented, for
though gentle when stroked, he's fierce
whenproVoked. We would stop violent
proceedings, and in furtherance. of our
peaceable intention, entreat the poor fell
low, Who sleeps in faneied security, to !
return Diary, Of Mr.. JAS. A. johnson,
deceased, to the indignant executor, who |
loaned it tohin, ere he finds himself cut
ting a. figure in.the middle of now here. !
Soft words wont butter parsnips, as the
borrower Of this long absent Diary will !
find, and We advise him to restore it at
once; lest he come to grief and hard bloss:
VALENTINE DAY:-The Almanac ma
kers unanimously agree that next Friday |
will be the 18th of February, therefore
we can confidently declare that it, will
be Valentines day, day dedicated to
the passage, not Of arms, but of tender
missives, tilt of hearts, not of lances,
and yet wounds will be many, some
of them fatal. All "well we do remem-
'ber," but the scars are all healed over
now. Little girls and boys in the fiedge- |
ling period, sweet sixteens in pink rib
bons, and gallant youths in paper dick:
