APPLES FROM UTAH.-Several loads of
apples arrived yesterday from Fillmore,
having been ten days on the road. The
snow is representa- to be very deep be-
tween the summit this side of Desert
springs and Sulphur Springs-a distance
OF nifty miles. The crossing of the des-
ert with loaded teams is difficult in the
extreme. There were fifteen or twenty
freight teams laid up at Desert Springs,
oil loaded for Phoebe.
EXCITING FooT-RAcE.--An exciting
foot-race took place, last Sunday, at Bull
lionville, on wager of $4,000. The
contestants were James Schafer, Cover
nor of Bullionville, and James Watson,
known as James Fisk, jr. Both parties
were in splendid condition but the Gov
ernor's sponging was badly done, and he
ran short of lines. Fisk won, but the
Governor was allowed to leave the field
with all the honors of war.
WE are credibly informed that pistols
were drawn at the masquerade night be-

waited and supplied with overy conve-
nience usually found in such an estab-
lishment.
AS the elegance and richness of the
costumes of the demi-monde, night be-
fore last, are admiringly spoken OF by
half the town, they are entitled to what
credit local item will give them for the
success they achieved in that line.
The last grading on the Bullionville
end of the narrow-gauge is now being
