Bob Ingalls, Adventure.

Two sojourners in the land were de-
sirous of settling a little misunder-
standing last evening. and concluded
that their best plan was an appeal to
fisticuffs. This settled, and their Sec
onds chosen, the party, consisting of
five, the odd man probably the surgeon,
adjourned to the corner of 18th and
Ferguson streets, to have it out. But
two of the guardians of the peace hap
pened to chance along just as the Sec
ond round was under Roadway, and the
party took to their heels, but not before
officer Bob Ingalls, had gone down on
his knees to prayers, in his efforts to
grab his man, who, however, eluded
his grasp and started on the clean jump
down the street. Bob quickly recovered
himself and started in pursuit. Up to
the hour of going to press he had not
returned.
LATER.-We open the forms to state
that Bob has been heard from at Sgd
ney. The other fellow is slightly ahead.

of the NJ. f. church, held yesterday
evening, was a decided success, pecuni-
arily as well az socially. The receipts
amounted to about $3.50. The feature
of the evening was the voting for a
cake to be presented to the young lady
who should be lucky enough to procure
the highest number of votes The price
of a vote was ten cents. The names of
the young ladies competing for the
honor Of possessing the cake were as
follows, with the number of votes each
received accompanying them: Miss
Grace Houseman, 451;. Miss Annice
Bostwick, 361; Miss Louie Swan, 211.
Miss Grace was therefore declared the
winner. The votes for the cake
brought in S103 alone. There being a
surplus of strawberries and cream, the
management Of the affair have con-
cluded to keep open house in Fisk's
new block to-day, between the hours of
IL a. m. and l p. M, when strawber-
ries and cream will be retailed to those
DESTROYS of investing at fifteen cents

The Salt Lake Herald propounds the
question, "What will the End Be2''
and in an article under that caption,
speaks of the injury that the recent
sensational articles in the N. Y. Herald
had done them as a law-abiding people,
who are loyal to the government. We
have heard this same kind of talk be-
fore. about your loyalty as a people to
the United States government, etc,
but we do not take any stock in your
asseyerations of loyalty, especially after
the pronounced threat that your
prophet, Brigham Young, conveyed TO
his people the other day in Salt Lake
City, in reference to what he was going
to do if the United States gosernment
did not let him alone. Mr.. Jefferson
Davis, it will be r~ecollected, was In ex-
actly the same position some years ago.
He wanted to be let alone, and when
he found that this would not go down,
he very foolishly acted in much the
same way that BrlghamNis doing now,
only he went farther and seeded, a
step that we would not advise the
Prophet to think Of doing, unless he
desires the immolation of himself, his
church and his people. We have had
enough of Mr.. Buncombe, Brigham
Young and his bluster; at least Uncle
Sam thinks so, and if evtra troops have
been ordered to Utah, and capitalists
have abandoned you for more promis-
ing fields, where they can invest their
capital with a greater sense of security,
you will please to remember that you
have yourselves to blame, and not the
correspondent of the New York Her
aid, who doubtless knew what he was
about in asserting what he did of you;
nor yet the United States government,
which has been compelled to turn its
attention to the yaporings of your ia
NAUTICAL ruler, and to act accordingly.
And further, we would say in reference
to this subject, now that we have it in
hand, that unless the Mormons do be-
have themselves towards the United
States government in a commendable
spirit of patriotism, and become toll.
Grant towards the Gentiles who have
settled among them, the national gov.
eminent win proceed to extremes with
the Mormon rebels, and that is "What
the end will be-" or at least the begin.
ming of the end.
