Artesian water was struck at depth
of l50 feet on the premises of ii. I'll.
Whaley a few days ago. An artesian
we'll is almost a necessity in the Gen.

as the water from the zan jas is so OBJ
structed in its passage as to be insult
ficient for irrigation.

From the Times of the 22d.
A slightly inebriated individual,

questionable, threatned to erect 4th

Utah street clerk this afternoon, for
induiging in undue levlty over his
grotesque antics as an equertrian.
Our citizens are waking up in re-
gard to the Railroad question, the i'm
portance of which is becoming more
manifest every day. A meeting has
been called for next Saturday, to take
place at the Court House,
where we hope some decisive action
may be taken on the matter. 1t is of
the most Importance that full repre-
sentation of the people be present.
The truth is, young woman, if you
discover that the noble youth you are
tying yourself to, comes strong in his
expenditures on Saturday night and
Sunday, but kind ofsimmers down in
to state of empty pockets towards
the close of the week, don't have him
at any price. If you do, you can bet
your best switch, and throw in your
pin-back blind, that as his wife you
will have to scratch a poor woman's
head as long as you live.
