AMONG TIE FARMERS OF UTAH.-Aug. IS
To day we have boon taking trip into the SUI
burbs of Salt Lake City, to see how farming
operations are conducted here. There is no
certainty of raising crop anywhere In this val
ley without irrigation, which is done in about
the same manner as in Colorado. Fruit and
shade treesas well as vegetables and ornameu-
tai plants generally, are planted in such man
ner that they can be constantly irrigated, con-
sequenty great care is required to Insure sue
cess. In some OF the low grounds near the
water level, grass and some kinds of grain can
be grown without artificial irrigation In fact
the land has TO be underdrained, which costs as
much as 1t does toprepare bitches for irrigation;
therefore these lands are no more valuable for
farming purposes, and far less desirable for q
residence. All the ordinary cereals do well,
yield abundantly, and are Of the finest quality.
We saw extensive meadows from which four
tons hay per acre was being gathered. Then,
what climate for making hay no showers or
long, drizEng rains to interfere with and spoil
ones calculation in regard to time required for
gathering or the quality Of the product. All
kinds OF farm produce command a good price,
and the farmers are so well satisfied that they
hold their best lands at from two hundred to
two hundred and fifty dollars per acre.-Rrai

FASHIONABLE WEDDING.-St. Francis
Xavier's r. c. Church, near Warwick was
the centre of attraction to the yeung people,
especially, for time last Wednesday morn
ing, it being the occasion Of the marriage OF
Mr.. Louis K. STAN, of Chestertown, Md,
and Miss Mary N. Lockwood, daughter OF f.
W. Lockwood, Esq, of Middetown. At an
carly hour the friends tho interested cou-
pie assembled in the church to witness the
ceremony: the ringing of the bell in the tow
er announced the appointed hour, 10 clock,
and this bridal party moved up the aisle and
took their places within the chancel, while
the Amphion Band, of Middletown, played
the "Heavenward March. The groom was
attended by Mr. Wilbur Eliason, of Chester
town, Md, and the bride by Miss Ella Nc
Dermot, Of Washington, D. G. The matri.
monial ceremony was then performed by
Father Villiger according to the rites of the
Catholic church, after which the Nuptial
Mass was celebrated. The entire service &C.
cupied about an hour, and was most beauti.
full and impressive.
The music for the occasion was furnished
by the accomplished volunteer organist, Miss
M. CraddocS. accompanied by the Am

excellent, grand TIE Deum by the full

few words personally regarding it. have done
my pest, both by precept and example, for the
past thirty years Or more, to induce my brother
farmers to cultivate this highly valuable grass
much more extensively than they have done |;
but regret to say with very little effect. Pray,
now go and see what Mr.. Crozier Is doing He
has about l 10 acres of it, and although II Is not

day l examined it, June ID, it stood from thirty
seven to nifty Inches high and would make FROM

commenced moving for hay two or three weeks

On the I'd OF August Mr.. Crozer wrote me as

INSULT TO THE PREss.- The Portland
Herald says: Washington Territory
can boast of more worthless, trashy and
sickly papers than any other portion of
the United States. With but two excep-
tiens, these papers are owned and run
by scheming politicians, who use them
to promote their selfish ends" 1t is a
remarkable fact that the, Standard is
thus far the only one Of the Washington
papers to resent tins diabolical inuendo;
which is very maspanimous in the Gen
zal, considering the fact that he 7ex-
pressly regards his paper as one of the
two honorable exceptions. But he says:
We would very much like to know
which of our Territorial journals the
Herald classes with us, as the excep-
tion." We should suppose that she
instinctiye acumen which SO unmistaka-
bly, pointed to the Stan, lard as one of
the exceptions, would have as clearly
indicated the Courier as the o,her. The
owners and conductors Of neither Of
those journals are-seheming politicians,
candidates for Office or have any selfish
ends to promote. We feel no interest
in the controversysSbut like to zee the
honors fairly distributed among our CO.

A NEW TRIBE A California paper
describes the discovery of three villages
of Zum Indians, supposed to be the sur
vivors of the ancient Aztecs. They
dwell ON the great trail from Fort Mo-
have, on the Colorado, to Albuquerque,
on the Rio Grande, and are about day s
journey from the diamond fields. They
are about two thousand in number, AMI
are very different from other tribes, in
looks. bearing and pride of dress a
manifestly superior race. The women
are comely and modest in dress, their
houses are clean and their cooking
was good. Certain kinds of cloth are
made by them. These people have fields
of corn, wheat and vegetables. focks of
sheep and goats. and they keep all the
domestic animals. They are friendly
to the whites. never fight aggressively.
but are stubborn in defense. Their
houses are of stone. three stories high,
and built in terrace form. They worship

A minister in lowe was compelled to

that may have been, the defense claimed
that there had been. no corresponding
service; non meruit; his preaching WASH t

THE RIGHTS OF REpoRTERs.-The DO
lice authorities Of Chicago have been
led to entertain spite against the news
paper reporters of that city, who have
been the means Of making public serious
deiinquences on the part of some of the
members Of the force, while they have
waged an active warfare on several in
efficient Police Commissioners, whose
natural incapacity has been aggravated
by personal habits uniting them for
the duties of their station. A few nights
ago these officials thought they had an
opportunity for Furnishing certain repre-
sentatives CT the press for their free
criticism, and proceeded at once to avail
themselves thereof. 1t was ascertained
that there was to be raid on noted
gambling hell, the two reporters Of the
Tribune and enc of the Times hastened
to the place in advance of the police in
order to witness the proceedings. When
the gambling saloon was entered the re-
porters were arrested as well as the gam
blers present, and although their busi-
ness there was we'll known they were i'm
prisoned until they procured bail. At
terward they were put on trial and hon
orably discharged, the Justice holding
that reporters were in very broad
sense public servants; that by frequent
ing haunts oi vice and reporting the
practices followed there they protected
and warned the public, and were not to
be classed with those who went to- such
places for purposes immoral or illegal.
Itis hardly probable that the future Of
fetal care er Of the persons using such
ineans to intimidate reporters will run
in paths of pleasantness and peace, SO
far as the newspapers are concerned, an
less by timely and unexpected reforms
they remove all occasion for further un-
favorable comment. 81 ifi gans7
