you do me the favor to inform me when
you can spare that compositor of yours /;

told me he had sold million dollars
worth of holiday goods since the puff,
and should have doubled the amount had
the crowd that thronged his store fully
understood that he had :" con "-science.
Since, however, what did say of friend
Charley was gratuity, and, as / have
no visions of oysters or cigars, that COM
positor may after all, get reprieve, in

Mr.. EDITOR Il noticed in Chester
items of last weeks TIMES, an article
manifesting great sympathy for our hotel
keepers, especially friend Cole, stating
the grand jury had found bills against
them for violations of the liquor law,
and that over two hundred of the voters
in town had signed petition praying
that the States Attorney would be as
lenient as possible that Cole had kept
quiet, orderly house; had laid out two
thousand dollars in repairs and the raid
was unnecessary.
/ was not aware that any one proposed
to punish Mr.. Cole for keeping disor-
derby house, but for selling disorderly
rum or rot gut, contrary to law, and if
there are two hundred voters in town

hotels with the profits of rumselling, /
pity them. Go ask the wives and chill.

Methodist church, this Thursday evening.
That elephant was photographed
on Wednesday. 1t represents the wait
ing at John w. Church's.
Christmas morning is rather mild
and in fact November and December
seem to have exchanged places this year.
AT z! o'clock Wednesday evening
the entire heavens were hazy and quite
distinctly marked with crimson red.
Services were held at Emmanuel
church Christmas eve. The church is
beautifully trimmed and lettered with
evergreen.
- The next lecture in the course will
be delivered by Wallace Bruce, on
Thursday evening, January 18th. Sub
iuct: Landmarks of Scott. 1t is said
to be lecture of much interest.
Washburn's Troup and Indians
drew crowded house on Friday evening
of last week A principal attraction
we're the Warm Spring Indians, who
smoked the pipe Of peace and gave
war dance The chief made speech,
as given to the audience by the interpre-
ter, which was very good and well re-
ceived.
- The Sabbath School connected with
the Congregational Church had services
at their church on Wednesday evening,
consisting of Christmas Rotations, sing
ing, etc., Two heavily laden trees were
Invested of their burden much to the de-
light of the little people. A supper was
then served in the vestry to the school
which was partaken of in an apprecia-
tive manner. The whole entertainment
proved a very pleasant Christmas gath
ering.
A correspondent in this place, N.
R., reports case of " counting in tight
place" 1t appears that on arecent Sum
day night, Romeo started for the front
hall door at very late hour, which was
found locked and the key gone. All
the doors and windows were found lock-
ed or nailed. Things we're getting des-
perate when an AK made egress at a
kitchen window through which Romeo
escaped, leaving the tableaux of Juliet
standing at the window with ak in hand
just as the family came down to break
fast. The last heard of Romeo he was
getting up patent lock.
- Edward Sweeney of Salem, N. Y,
arrived here one day last week, full Of
generosity. He was accompanying some
freight we believe on the railroad, when
suddenly he began to give nearly every
body he met a goose. 1t soon became
evident he was likely to turn into a
goose himself He had planted one
about once in sixteen feet all the way
from this place to Keene. n. III. 1t was
thought best to inquire into this extra
ordinary phenomenon and he was brought
before justice J. d. Bridgman and held
to bail in the sum of $500, for further
explanation at county court. In other
words he had stolen from a car over a
barrel of dressed geese which he had
been distributing. A brother came on
this week from Salem and became bail.
He claims to have been drunk, and it is
hoped be will soon at least change from
a very simple goose to more dignifed
gsnder.

August IL
Some months ago leading antiMormon lawyer
OF this city, one whose reputation as student and
well read lawyer takes front rank In the Terri
tory, had occasion to seek divorce for u lady and
lew thousand dollars. He succeeded. The
divorce was procured in the Probate Court OF Salt
Lake county. subsequently he married the lady.
The Territorial law cOnfers this power upon the
Probate Courts and upon them only; Congress has
never annulled that law; hence the lawyer re-
ferred to satisfied that his course was perfectly
legal But II the District Court alone has the power
to grant divorces then his wife is O bigamist, and
he is in rather q curious position the husband Of

This week suit has been commenced In the Third

next friend, George X. MAXWELL against President
Brigham Young for o divorce and aimony, the

which Judge Mexican has managed his Court for
some time legal business hangs fire and fees are
frequently visionary; hence an attempt to work up
