Thanks giving.
By the p resident Of tile United States Of

By the President Of tie United States Of
america,
WHEREAS, The revolution Of another
year has again brought the time when it
is usual to look back upon the past and
publicly thank the Almighty for his bless
ings and,
WHEREAS, IF any people has more occa-
sion than another for such thankfulness,
it is the citizens Of the United States,
whose Government is their creature sub
ject to their b9hests, who have reserved
to themselves ample civil and religious
freedom, and equality before the law, who
during the last twelve months have enjoy
ed exemption from any greivous or general
calamity, and to whom prosperity in agri-
culture, manufactures, and commerce has
been vouchsafed.
Therefore, by these considerations, |
recommend that on Thursday, the 28th
day of November next, the people assem-
BILE in their respective houses of worship
and taerc make their acknowledgements
to God for Lis kindness and bounty
In witness whereof, hereunto set my
hand and the seal Of The United States to
be affixed.

From Utah.

OpHIR CRY, U. r., Oct. Is, 1872.
Mr.. EDITOR We have just returned
from Salt Lake City, the Mecca of many
a toll worn mountalneer' where we went
to attend the Descret Agricultur Fair,
which opened on the "a of October, and
closed with the week. The amount OF
produce, stock &C., exhibited did not eX-
ceed that Of many Of your Eastern county
Fairs, but the quality of most Of the arti-
cles inspected were pronounced excellent
There was splendid display of grapes,
pears, apples, peaches, apricots, &C., and
many of those fruits were brought hun
dredS of miles, many from near the north
ern line of Arizona.
Tho Territory of Utah is becoming eel
ebrated as wool growing country, and
consequently there was fine display OF
we'll woven WOODEN fabrics, blankets, &c.
We believe the time is at hand, Gf it has
not already arrived when Rocky Aoun-
tain wooden manufacturers can successful
" compete with eastern manufacturers in
price, and far excel in the quality of their
goods. Already California WOODEN shirt
ING and blankets are much preferred to
those of eastern manufacture, for both
warmth and durability; and, just as soon
as Utah goods are manufactured in sutti-
cient quantity to throw upon the market,
they will become as those of California.
The Fair closed on Saturday, October
9TH, and the day following was the COM
mencement of the semi-annual Confer
euce Of the Mormon. church. Al good
saints who came to the Fair, staid also to
the ConforeLce, and. with fresh arrivals
every day, and the attendance at the cab
ernacle of tive loafing Gentiles," that no
bic structure was daily filled with dense
mass Of both lowly submissive saints and
defiant stiff necked sinners.
The Conference continued through four
successive days, two services being held
each day. Most of Eve Gentilesn attend

Vot, the Whole Republican Ticket
HAMILTON FISH,
Secretary of State.

As this is the last issue of the CHRoNI
Gle before election, we take this opportu-
nifty to urge our Republican friends
throughout the county to vote for the
entire Republican ticket. The whole tick
ct is good one. There are no objection
able features in it, And if the Repu5li-
cans do as they are in duty bound to do
at this time, our whole ticket will be
elected
Vote FOR Francis Little for our State
Senate, strictly honest man in every res
pect. No one can say anything against
him, and in these times when there is
such howl made about corruption, it be-
hooVes US to elect honest straightforward
men to go to our legislative halis-of such
is Francis Little.
Wfn.s Sands, candidate for Sheriff, is
we'll known in our county. He has served
us before as Sheriff to the satisfaction of
all parties. He has made one of the best
officers the county ever had. There is no
better man on the ticket than VIM. Sands.
lie has always been found in the right
place at the proper time.
JOAN L. Jones, candidate for Treasurer
is in every way worth the support of Re-
publicans of this county, and any Repub-
hcan that neglects to cast his vote for him
is doing what will make him feel ashamed
OF himself in time to come. There is no
man in Iowa County that is better quail
fed to fill the position of Treasurer than
Johs T. Jona.

the singing, which was very good lnde, d
when accompanied by the rich and solemn
tones of their magnificent organ. The va
rious choirs of the country churches had
combined with the choir of the tabernacle,
SO that all combined constituted a noLle
band of singers. For our part, we would
be the very last to Unfortunately con
denim the Mormon people as being all pre-
tenderE and upholders of a false and per
nicious creed, for we believe there are
many within the pale of this church who
have been proselyted from the various Or
thodox churches Of Europe, where they
were members in good standing, having
known the grace Of God and felt the pow
er in their own hearts. But, as to the
majority of this church, we believe that
they have the form of a religion, but in
their daily lives, and by their pernicious
ways, their well known vulgarity and
MISUNDERSTANDING the power thereof.
AS to the leaders Of the Mormon church
we think still less of them than we do Of
their followers. We have sat long enough
in the presence of these false prophets,
these great lusty, red faced, bull headed
teachers Of "damnable hereses" to know
that they are as shallow as an egg-shell-
and just as soft within. The apostle de-
scribes them exactly when he says: For
when they speak great swelling words Of
vanity, they allure through the lusts of
the flesh, through much wantonness, those
who were clean escaped from them who
live in error"
Brigham Young made lengthy address
at the close of the session, and during his
discourse wandered as far from anything
truly spiritual, as, we believe, his heart is
from God In the course of his remarks
he undertook to tell the people how to run
kitchen for a family Of five hundred per.
sons, Then he criticised the lawyers,
next the doctors, and ssthoGe women who
CT ud not get along without them. lie
was particularly severe towards those la
dies who cut up whole cloth into so many
small pieces, to be sown together again,
and built up, fold upon fo.d, as high as a
fence lie remembered the time when
women held their dresses a yard or two in
| front Of them now, he says, the protrub-
erance is the other way He also knew
OF the time when ladies wore sever yards
in the sleeves and three in the dress, and
if the ladies bought the sleeves the mer-
chant usually threw in the dress pat
tern. free. And this shallow, foolish
bigoted old man went on talking about his
idols-the women. Surely, Brigham is
bound to his idols. Let him alone"
Res pectfu,ly yours, I. A. JONES.

~ The following in regard to John
I. Jones, the Republican candidate for
Treasurer, we clip from the State J0urna7.
Capt. Jones, the Rep. candidate for Trea
surer, we have known for years, and take
pleasure in endorsing, as a patriot VINO
shouldered his muSket for the country's
defence. true and faithful Republican, a
man of ability and Of the highest char
acter for integrity. Because he has held
clerkShip in the Secrctary's office here for
two or three years, a leading object of bis
stay here being to have access to the
State Library and study law, in the plac-
tice of which he intends establishing him
self in Iowa county ; the cry Is raised that
he is a Madison candidate, though he has
never been registered or voted here, an
his property is all at Miffiin.

suffering was so great as to make Mr. Conrad
almost tired Of life. lie had been heard to threaten
seltdestruction, put his friends kept close watch In
cution on thursday last, however, Mr. Conrad
procured an ounce and quarter OF laudanum,
but waiting his opportunity swallowed the whole OF
It. He then refused most persistenty 10 take any
