Fast day in this city was not distinguished par
tcularly from any other day of the week. No
religious services except the Conference were OBJ
served. The boot and shoe stores were closed
during the day; all the other stores kept open all
day. The mills and factories were all shut down.
Horse back riding and base ball were participated
in quite extensively. game of the latter was
played on the Common in the forenoon between
the High School nine and picked nine. resulting
in the defeat Of the latter club by score of "a to

In the coming hot months matter that will
claim the attention of the people is the dangerous
condition Of the mill pond in the rear of Water
street. The main sewer of the street empties into
the pond. There is no water in the pond at low
tide, and the mass of filth on its bottom is expos
ed to the air. From this corruption deadly mi
asma arises and posons the atmosphere to a wide
extent. Within the last two or three years there
have been five deaths of pereons who were en-
ployed on W alter street, and who were declared by
physicians to have been poisoned by the miasma
from this POND. If the sewer pipe should be car
ned across the pond and discharge into the run
ming water of the stream, the danger would be
averted. Something at any rate must be done at
once, if the lives Of our people of any worth,
to deliver them from this sure and fruitful source
Of pastilencc, disease and death.

DecIsIOn.

SALT LAKE, April p. The decision in the fam
GUS Anna Eliza case against Brigham Young, was
given to-day by Judge Schafer. That the defend
ant and plaintiff were married April Is, 1868, de.
fscto but not dejure. That at the time of deiacto
marriage the plaintiff war competent TO enter into
valid contract Of marriage but the defendant
was not because he had lawful wife then living.
The conclusion is that the plaintiff is not entitled
to decree of divorce; that the alleged marriage
was and is polygamous, and therefore null and
void; that durug the time the plaintiff was with
the defendant as polygamous wife she was serv.
ing him as mental servant, and would be emit.
tied to reasonable compensation for her service
but having received in this instance in the form OF
alimony pendente lite, more than such services are
shown by the proof to be reasonably worth, she
should 60 hence without further compe nsation.

The difference between tie present spfiugtime
and that Of 1874, may be learned from the fact
that on the 18th Of April three years ago, Ma
jor Wm 5. Haines undertaken of this city, at
tempted to go to Manchester with pung to
bring the body of the late Mrs Levi Thing to
our cemetery for burial, but was obliged to turn
back on account of a severe snow storm, after pro-
ceeding about one mile from the city. Mr..
llancs is considered a man Of remarkable perser-
veIance in the accomplishment OF whatever he un-
deltakcs but he states that he found it impossi-
Bile to proceed with safety on the above occasion,
on account of the severity of the storm. Last year
we did not experience storms 20 severe, but the
season was several weeks more backward than
the present; and it was not until the middle last
Of May, and in some cases the first of June, that
planting was fully accomplished by the farmers
throughout this State and other parts OF New Eng
land.
Messrs. ". c. Wilson 4 Co., have opened their
new book and periodical establishment on the cor
ner of Union and Water streets, with an attract
i've stock Throughout.
Tie carriage of Hon Jos. A. Sanborn of this
city was badly damaged few days since by the
running away OF the horse attached to the vehi-
Gle. The occupants OF the carriage were thrown
out but escaped with slight injuries. After run
ming several squares, aud turning many sharp cor
rers, the horse was finally secured comparatively
unharmed.
The high price Of potatoes has helped farmers
greatly in raising funds for almost any and all
emergencies, sucn as tax-paying, purchasing gro
ceries, &C. One dollar per bushel ought to be
satisfactory 10 the producer at least.
That inevitable hand-organ, with that same old
twang, has again made Its appearance in cur
streets, grinding out the most excruciating num-
bers by the aid Of lazy, sshftle,s vagabond to
turn the crank The show proceeds towards the
capital of the State. Let it travel.
Melting snow in the upper Kenncbec regions
keeps the water in the river at good navis alton
pitch. 1t will take another smart rain to set the
logs running.
The unusual warm weather for the pas, week or
two causes buds on fruit trees to put forth vigor-
ously. We hope no "unimely frost may blast
the prospect OF abundant yield.
Arrangements are in progress for laying the
dust in streets. 1t is seldom the eed is
felt SO early in the season.
