The Plymouth Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1869-1941, 1869-12-30

very bitter sermon, In the tabernacle,
against the G. entiles, the Sunday previous
to our visit, and if reports are true
used almost as much profanity as Henry
Ward Beecher is capable of condensing
in one disccurse,-a very naughty thing
on Brigham's past.
Having so short time to stay, and
the weather having been unpleasant,
everything was seen at disadvantage;
but it is said, that in the spring and
summer time, when its thousands OF
shade and fruit trees are in leaf and
blossom. with the lake stretching out
| on one size, and hemmed in by the
grim old mountains on the other,-there
j. no place more beautiful than Salt
Lake City.
On our return tri p we chose an out
side seat, Couldn't get any other, come
to think of IT'D, and the weather turning
off pleasant, we had fine view of the
country. About mile north of the
city are the famous
HOT SPRINGS
and the morning being quite cool, i'm
mense clouds of steam arose from them,
well-njsh suffocating us as We passed by.
There is no visible boiling of the water,
but the springs afford stream of water
almost as large as mans body. which
empties into the lake. These springs
are said to be possessed of great medi-
cinal properties;-we don't know how
that is. but do know that they have
tremendous "odoriferous properties.
TIE COUNTRY
along the stage road is very thickly
settled, and if one can judge by the inn
provemcnts and general appearance, by
a thrifty class of people. There are
three villages between the city and the
railroad. and one Of them-Farmington
contains about 1900 inhabitants.
Arriving at Uintah in due season We
took the cars and were soon safely
landed at Promontory, with our pref
udices against
TIT 1<op 1fONc
very much notified The Gcntiles in
this part of the country are very bitter
against the latter day saints, and threaten
what they will do when they get more
backing. Everybody agrees that it
is but justice to give the devil his due. "
Why not be equally as generous with
Brigham and his people They came
to this country many years ago,-con-
verified barren waste into a blossoming
garden-killed innumerable Indians,
with a Gentle thrown in occasionally
for seasoning-were killed and scalped
in turn by the Indians,- now all
they want is to be '.let alone" They
will not be let alone, however, for the
railroads are already bringing in swarms
of Gcnti,es. who will soon be strong
enough in numbers to materially dis
turb the even tenor of Brigham's way
Brigham does not appear to be alarmed,
but is flinging open the door of his
sanctuary by building
TIE UTAH CENTRAL r.
This road starts at Salt Lake City
and runs northward 81 miles until it
reaches Ogden, forming junction with
the Union and Central Pacific roads
90 miles are already in running order
from Ogden south, and the remaining
twelve miles will probably be finished
by the first of January.
LITTLE INCIDENT
and we are done, for the present. A
short time before reaching Ogden, on
our journey to Salt Lake City, the
engine whistle sounded an ALARM
brakes were put on, train stopped
and most of the mae passengers got out
to see the cause of detention About
fifteen yards ahead was an old Mormon
with light load of lumber on an old
''shackly" wagon His team had stuck,
just as the wagon, was fairly on the
track and could pull the load no further,
and it was no wonder, for a smaller,
meauer, poorer, or more skeleton like
pair of animals we never saw hitched
together. They looked like Orpheus G.
Kerr's Gothic stced, Pegasus, hand
ratings down the back and huted sides. "
The men helped the mormon off with
his wagon and were starting to get
aboard the train, when brakeman,
| VINO had been eyeing one OF the horses
for some time, blurted out:
II say, old fellow, no wonder you got
stuck, I'm ID # | couldn't read a
newspaper right through that horse
"Wall, stranger drawled the old
Mormon, "that boss had Jst the s-a-n,-e
| chance as the other boss had"
Hoping we have succeeded in
quoting our ghost, for the present, We
are, reportorially and individually,
Yours, j. Med.
