PRAIRIE-DOG VILLAGE.

Four hundred and thirty-fve miles
west Of Omaha is situated the great
Prairie-dog City, one of the largest set
tlements on the line OF the Union Pacific
Railroad. Several hundred acres, each
side of the track, have been taken up by
the sagacious little pralrie-dogs, and
there they have made their homes, and
that without buying one lot from the
company, or as much as saying "by your
leave" The dwellings consist OF little
mounds, from foot TO eighteen inches
IN height, raised by the dirt excayated
by their burrows. On the approach of a
train, the little inhabitants can be seen
scamperiny from their homes. Arrived
there, they squat upon their hams or
stand upon their hind feet at the en-
trance-a hole in the top-barking at the
train as it passes.

ter OF Brigham, who was on tine 1Ssh 0I
September illegally married TO John W
Young, at ST. George, was in company
with her polygamous husband.
This is Lns first appearance OF the pair
In public since their marriage, aud they
attracted considerable attention from
both MormOns and Gentiles. John W.
and his concubine really arrived In this
neighb0rhoOd Oh F,iday night last, and
have been hiding at Young's farm, lyiug
short distance South of the city. The
reason why they have now emerged
from their place of couoeaIment appears
10 be that the newly married couple
have just learned there has ben no war
