BRYAN, W. T., October 8.
According to the views Of the older
citizens OF Salt Lake City, Tuesday
night was one OF the most marked oc.
caSions ever witnessed In that city.
Vice President Colfax, who with his
party had been there for the two days
previous, was serenaded by the band
from Camp Douglass. In response 10
repeated calls the distinguished gentle.
man addressed an immense crowd In
front OF the Townsend House, In the
course OF which he gave his Views at
length on thesubjeCt Of polygamy. He
quoted from the Book OF Mormons aud
proved, at least to the satisfaction OF
bis Gentle auditors, that the whole
thing was unwise and illegal and ought
to be abolished.
He was followed by Gov. Bross, Of
Illinois, who fully endorsed the afgu-
ments and opinions OF the Vice Presi.
dent, Such freedom of speech from
such sources and on such a Bnbjeot has
never before, It iB claimed, been exer.
cIsed In that city. These gentlemen, II
Ia said, will be handled without mlttens

sion In that city.
Mr.. Colfax and party, with the ex.
Ception of Governor Bross, left for the
East on Wednesday morning, all In the
best OF health and spirits.

EDS. CHRONICLE Our old and well

many years has been engaged in the mer-
camille trade in this place, sold out to a
firm from Colorado. We trust Mr.. Pound
will find some other opening, as we don't
wart him to leave. Several new build
ings have gone up this season, and nearly
mile of sidewalk has gone down, which
adds much to the looks and convenience of
our village. We sometimes think while on
these sidewalks how blessed it is to be in
corporated.. Wheat and hops have
dropped little, still business is lively.
Ben More, and George Lotte, while in the
woods between Baraboo and Logansville,
on the 9Th inst, caught a fine 4-year old
steer that they claimed was wild, and had
there on the 9th. They stood the trip
well, having as they claimed. rode him in
turn. While attempting to sell the wild
"crtter" to Messrs. Frost & Wallace it
was thought by some that all was not
right and they were arrested They were
brought to this place, and tried before JUS
tice Strong, plead guilty, and were for
warded to Baraboo Jail. -. Yesterday
morning while the 6 o'clock train was
passing west, a steer belonging to J. L..
Barnard, and heifer belonging to Mrs.
Packard, were run over. No damage was
done except the loss of the cattle. We
think John is able to stand it, for he seems
to have good many that go in that way.
