The Weather.

Following the late wet spell the prolonged cool weather is decidedly unfavorable to the growing crops, and the seed which has been planted but is not yet up. The weather for the whole spring has, so far, been un- usually cold, and even nov when it has reached the vicinity of the mid dle of May, the weather is cool enough to make it pleasant tosit by the fire. There will be no healthy growth of the young crop of corn and cotton so long as the cool weather lasts. We do not think it possible for the cold spell to hang on much longer and think after the 12th inst. we will have more favorable and better growing weather.

 Saints Arming with Breech-
 Loading Rifles.
 SALT LAKE, May 5.-The feeling aroused throughout the United States by the testimony at John D.. Lees trial relative to the Mountain Meadow massacre, has led the Lat ter Day Saints to apprehend the arrest of Brigham Young and others, heads of the church, accused of sane tioning the commission of that hor- rible crime. The Saints have de- telmined to resist any movement against Brigham Young by the Fed eral authority, and to this end they are secretly arming and drilling. Orders have been privately issued by the military commanders Of the famous Nauvoo Legion, requiring that organization to be in readiness for active service by the 2lst of the present month.
 Night meetings and drills are go- ing on in Salt Lake City itself, and it is reported Brigham Young has asserted, within the last few days, that the Mormons, who have been driven so often and so far West, will be driven no longer.
