1eeS FTseron-The weather is fine, the
air Gain, and everybody 80 busy making
eafcFn and hxipg up. that local 10 scarce,
and 1t would be dif6cnft for the pen of even
an angel to indite al interesting letter.
We have already noticed the change in
the Tribune ffice. There are not mspy
other changes Of Importance. There will be
one next week. however, worthy of a spe-
cialt5-Benton and Wayne will remove their
hardware store from the present rooms to
Benton's new building on Main street, one
door from the Opera House. This is very
large building-ninety feet long. twenty
feet wide and three stories high. This i'm
mense building will be filed with all kinds
OF hardware and cutlery. the first room,
| ninety feet long. being exclusively used as
| sales room. 1t will be known as 2oS. The
splendid front cannot be mistaken. The
tlru. is laying in an immense stock of goods.
They have very large number of chidrens'
| carriages. ranging in price from S. to $26.
with all kinds of edge tools, willow ware,
garden tools. mill saws, aud various kinds
OF wooden wares. Their sales room is most
certainly the largest and neatest in Johns
| town, and the building adds much to the
appearance of Main street. Good luck to
their enterprise. There are no other reno
walls Of Importance.
| 1t is said that the German Reformed
church will occupy the room above the post
| effice.
| One Of our prominent druggists has had
one side Of his palatial building painted
! white. as If he intends advertising ON his
| own hook. We may Eotice it hereafter.
A travelling caravansary, yclept the Wig
ard Oil company. have been RECALLING the
ears of our people every evening, on the pub
lie square, with vocal and instrumental
music. Don't think they be-,ciEard many
people. but the music is good and the crowd
large every evening.
| Gallagher's store. at the Houston House,
was entered by burglars On Thursday night,
by means of false keys. and on Friday night
| the store room of John j. Murphy was en-
tered by breaking a large glass in the show
| window. Small amounts of money we're ab-
stracted in both Instances. and perhaps some
| goods. The burglars made a narrow escape
on Friday night. as their WORK was done
between ten and eleven o'clock, at q very
public place, and as there were marks of a
| hasty retreat.
| The great land slide which was to bring
/ the mountain city 6oen. didn't come of ac-
cording to the bill. )" but the dogs Of war"
have been let loUse in consequence, and q
| brisk fight is going on in the papers. They
may fight from the time that the dog-wo
blossoms till the dog days, for al we care.
| They are all dog ged fellows. and we'll be
dog-ged if they don't dog each other the dog
gedest. If the puppies only let the big dogs
dog away, it will be a do0-ged good thing
for the young dogs. Every dog has his day,
but this fight should either be settled at a
dog gerry celebrated in dog-geral verse.
The buds are swelling, the leaves coming
out. and the blossoms opening. Farmers
have sowp a large quantity of oats already,
and they report that the fruit il, so far, safe
and sound. Hope the good news may con-
tinue. AS the population increases the de-
mand increases for all that supports life. and
hence every one that can should plant a
grain of corn, stalk of cabbage, an apple
tree, etc. In this way the market may be
supplied. We live in a fast age. The pop
! ulation now will increase at least one million
4 year, and this will Of itself keep up mar
ket prices. We have not heard who will
| take the census here, but when they are
taken the aggregate population of the United
States will reach forty millions and, in one
decade more, Fifty millions Where will all
the produce come from to feed them The
soil must be cultivated or prices will iucrease
10 geometrical ratio.
It Is supposed that az soon as Congress
gets through amending the constitution. it
will commence on the moral law. Thou
shalt not steal I" must be expunsed. "Thon
shalt not coVet thy neighbours house, or bis
| wife. or his men servants, or his maid SER
want" should be changed to read, instead Of
servants. fifteenth amendments" This
would make the moral law concide with the
constitution. Travelling on Sunday is ne
cessity now days. Moses didn't know any
thing about railroads. He was even igno-
rant 'of the Suez canal route. though he
crossed it several times. Mr.. Covode thinks
the commandments might be fixed up little
to suit Congressman. Let this Idsc be amend
ed before the next election Brigham Young
won't objsct!i Nor the Utah delegate !!
The latest announcement in the dry goods
line is paper drawers. paper handkerchefs,
paper gloves and paper pin-a-fores. They
come cheap, save great deal of washing,
look tidy and white, and are as useful aS
paper collars. Paper skirts are now worn in
many places by the ladies, and We don't see
Why paper silks could not be made. Paper
garments of all colors will be the next nov
city. no doubt. 1t may be that this great
resort to paper is in consequences of our Inn
mense paper money circulation.
