The Rev. H. L. Badger left on yes.er-
day mornings Salt Lake stage for the
East, where it is his intention to remain
permanently, we believe. In the long
course Of his ministrations in Phoebe the
reverend gentleman has greatly endeared
himself to all classes of our citizens by
his piety and the readiness with which
he has assisted in every undertaking to
promote the welfare, not only of his own
church, but the well-being of the whole
community. The Rev. Mr.. Badger has
not stopped to inquire about the religion
or antecedents Of those requiring the
sacred offices of the church, as can most
cheeriully be testified, but has readily
and willingly afforded the ministrations
OF the christian faith to all who sought
them for themselves or others. We hope
his lines will fall in pleasant places and
wish him God speed and pleasant
journey.

State, have a system of government far
more powerful, as far "a they are con-

bring TO bear upon them. This is vested
in a secret council, which passes upon
all offenses, and makes rules for the req.

Commerce and the Press.

At the 10th anniversary of the Cham
Der Of Commerce of New York, oele-
brated last Thursday evening, the vsne-
rable William Cullen Bryant respoIdrd
to the sentiment in honor of the press
He said that commerce and the press are
closely united, are dependent on each
other. and cannot be severed without
destroying both. Let there be no ex-
change of commpd dities, he said, and the
press would perish Of inanition; let there
be no press, apd the merchant would
bc in utter darkhsss andliperplexity,
afraid TO. venture upon, any enterprise,
for vent Of the information upon which
all safe fepterprises are founded: Afr.
Bryant freely admitted the short-com-
ings of the PRESS while; maintaining it's
activity and courage In the exposure of
abuses. Among Journalists. there is the
same Variety Of ofscharacte1s as among men
OF other vocatiohs.s There are men of
sturdy and resolqte honesty, and there
are others wfNp N are simply rogues. There
are enlightened, men among them, and
there are men who are deplorably igno-
rant There ate men Of warsring and
unsettled. opinions, on the one hand,
and men ofimpncticable and pig-headed
obstinacy, on the other. There are mon
of brilliant literary talents, and others
whom, for want of o more polite desig-
nation, I should call stupid; there are
fearless men, and men easily frightened.
But, on the whole, he boldly maintained
that as class, the journals of this coun-
try are wiser and more virtuous than its
legislators, and those who justly consi-
dered its influence for good, should be
excused for q feeling of satisfaction at
belonging to SO useful clhss.

If left to chance, they are no better than

should be kept strong in numbers and
prevented from swarming. This is done
by cutting away the queen in embryo
and removing the surplus honey as fast

gave the largest yield in May of last
year, filling the surplus receptacle twice
