BELow.-From a private letter re-
ceived last evening by Ches. Travis from his
brother Wes., we learn that the city of CO.
rinne is laid out very extensively The coun-
| try all around is plated of into lots and
L
contain a population equal to New York City.
| The citizens have the most expansive ideas in
regard to the prospective magnitude of the
| city. Lots are being sold every day at from
| $3.50 to 200. The utmost excitement pre-
walls, not only IN that place, but all along
| the railroad. Everyone seems fearful that
each town will become a metropolis before
| lots can be secured. There is as yet no GER
tainty expressed as to where the great central
city viii be located. The "Co- operative So
| ciety'' of Salt Lake are engaging extensively
in business In CorIune. also at Ogden. Every>
thing in the shape of stock is very high. A
good horse is worth from two to three hun
dred dollars, and beef cattle range in price
from ten TO thirteen cents per pound. The
roads are very muddy, and in some places al
most impossible.
INVENTORS AND MANUFACTURED GA
zETTE.-We are in receipt from the publish
ers of a number of this excellent Gazette. 1t
is devoted to the interests of those engaged
in the manufacture of machinery and con-
tains vast amount of valuable information.
1t treats of the various improvements upon
all kinds of machinery, illustrating them by
we'll defined cuts. 1t alsO devotes much space
to the discussion of patents applied for, the
benefit of the patented article, etc. The
tIcles lt contains give evidence of close re-
search and extensive knowledge of the me-
chanics. TO all manufacturers it is invalu-
able, and should be In their possession. It Is
published by Saltiel q Co., No. 81. Park Row
New York. Subscription 81 per copy year
DECLLNED.-We are favored with an
interesting and ably written treatise upon the
uses, abuses. and benefits of small pOx, to-
gether with the history and cause of the dis
ease, Its anatomical structure, manner or
treatment and results. 1t discourses luxurI-
antly of nausea, fever, vomiting, pains, ETC.,
aNu
pustules, eruptIons, secretions and scabs. We
regret that so valuable n production is lost
to the cause of scIence-so magnificent a
light hid under a bushel, and this annoying
and indelicate disease shielded against the
enmity of this article. We will be happy to
lend it to the first family stricken down
SHAw-wARD.-From Mr.. Charles d.

Everything Is quiet at the Fort, and nothing
tTanspires beyond the usual routine of garri-
son life-
THE storm, which was heralded by
bleak, raw morning, that called into requisi-
tion overcoats, does not, up to the moment
of writing, seem to be a success in our valley.
There is a want of earnestness about it which
detIacts from Its Importance. However, If
are in n degree unfortunate i'm the supply,
we have the satisfaction of knowing that the
stream Is wide apread, extending beyond Pleas
ant Valley and raging even in Virginia City,
where they toll not and are happy. 1t viii
