vicinity are somewhat Respondent just
now on account of the weather. On the
night Of the 10th we had heavy snow
storm. and ss our fruit trees were in full
leaf and covered with fruit some OF them
were broken down, and the hard frost
which followed the storm finished up
the balance of the fruit that remained
until now-the night of the 2lst. 1t is
still showing and freezing.
Onthe 18th we had q school exhibition
and wers visited by some of our Phoebe
friends. Alb. Policy and VIM. Bell among
the number some Of whom came loaded
to the guards with plenty of that which
cheers. and has been known to inebriate.
and Notwithstanding the weather we had
q good time. Our scholars gave proof of
the efficiency OF their teacher, Eugene
Wyman. by answering many hard ques-
tons in the various branches of study,
At the close of the exercises the children
were presented with prizes, to the value
OF about 500, by their teacher.
In the evening we had dance, which
| would have been success no doubt but
| for the unavoidable absence OF our must
clan. which obliged us to fall back upon
the exertions of fiddler who knew as
much about music as hog does about
war.
During the course Of some Of the re-
marks which were made at the close of
the school, we eoeived-somewhat in.
appropriate perhaps-some instructions
in regard to the Mormon religious belief,
which SO affected Billy that he wished to
be baptized Immediately. but as he il
believed by some to be the author OF that
fox story, his request was denied until
he shall have cleared himself of that sus-
picion. Whenever this is done you shall
be informed Immediately.
