TERRIBLE Snow SLIDES IN UTAH.-A Salt
Lake despatch reports another disastrous snow
slide on Wednesday in Big Cottonwood
Canyon, near the Richmond mine. Six mea,
named Thomas III. Bradict, VIM. Ritter,
Charles Daddle, j. Breeze, Henry Atkins and
Reuben Moore, were swept away and their bo-
dies have not heen recovered. The avalanche
was mile in length and about two hundred
yards wide. The bodies of six persons killed
by the snow slide at Alta City were recovered
on Wednesday, and it is supposed that many
other persons have perishcd in a similar
manner. In one demolished house we're found
the bodies of woman with her infant elasped
in her arms, while near by Icy the eorpses of
her husband and little daughter. At another
house q man was dug out alive, but another
who was sleeping beside him was dead, and
the dead body of another man was fouud out
side the house. There ia much alarm in the
mining camps, and it is believed that most of
those who can leave there will do so, though
they will have to run the risk of other slides in
their way out of the canons. A despatch from
San Francisco reports that % Chinese wood
cutters have perishsd by snow slide near
Genoa, In Nevada.

A NEW FERTILIZER Indian meal is said to
be equal to Peruvian guano as . fertilizer.
Like the latter, it will kill the germ OF the seed
if applied in too large quantities 1t may bs
used in the hill, furrow, or broadcast in about
the same quantities as gnano. At 60 cents per
bushsl, for corn, tOa of it costs about $25, or
about one-third as much as guaao. 1t acts
quickly upon the growing crops and may be
applied to wheat in the sPri0g at the time OF
sowing clover and raked in with the grass seed.
From all that we have heard of this article as
fertilizer, it is certainly worthy a trial, and
We hope that some of our readers will expert
ment with it the comiag season and report
results Wheat bran also may be quite al
valuable for this purpose and may be tried il
the same manner. A tablespoonful of corr
meal may be applied to hill sf corn, or three
hundred pounds to the acre on wheat or Other
broadcast crops. 1t is said to answer quite a:
well on potatoes and other root crops.-EE.

Visitors to the Centennial.

The board Of finance of the Philadelphia
Centennial estimate that there win be three
million of people who will attend ON an av-
erage Of three times making hiue million
entries to the exhibition. All Europe will
be represented by at least five hundred thou
sand people. The greater part of these will
come from Great Britain aud Germany; it
is difficult 10 say which will send the larger
nnmber. This leaves two million five hun
dred thousand TO be drawn from the States
aud Territories, nearly all of which have
given very promising assurances. The COM
missioneIs think however, that the requi-
site number can be relied upon without 90
ing very far in any direction. Taking Phila-
delphia as a focus, there are, within radius
Of two hundred aud fifty miles, twelve mil
lion OF people, allowing five members TO each
family; should each send representative,
there viii be two million four hundred
thousand visitors from nearby points, leay-
ing one hundred thousand to come from out
side the limits named Tho commissioners
estimate fifty thousand as the average daily
attendance
The largest influx of strangers is expected
on July 4, 1876 The Roman Catholic total
abstinence societies will dedicate their mon-
umental fountain. They expect TO parade
fifty thousand strong. Fifty thousand Ger
mans will dedicate the monument to Hum
boldt. Ten thousand Italialh, twenty-five
thousand lsraeites and twenty thousand
Presbyterians, win dedicate their respective
statues. At least twenty-five thousand sol
diers are expected, besides number of civic
societies not yet fully determined upon.
These figures swell to the magnificent total
Of one hundred and eighty thousand people
"a good many people, when you see them all
at once. The board Of finance may not
have the probabilities business reduced
to an exact science but this is the way the
great day Is counted on.

Happy Couple.


4 man should always be a little oller a

stow upon her all his worldly goods, and She
should take good care of them. lie may
owe her every care and Tenderness that az
fection can prompt; but pecuniary indebted
ness to her win become burthen. Better
live ON a crust that he earns than ON a for

opposite sex. Perfect confidence in each

affairs, even 10 members Of their own fam

A wife should dress herself becomingly
whenever she expects to meet her husbands
eye. The man should not grow slovenly,
even at home.
Faultfnding, long arguments, or scold-
ings, ends the happiness that begins in kisses
and love-making. Sisters and brothers may
quarrel aud make up" Lovers are lovers
no longer after such disturbances occur, and
married people who are not lovers, are bound
