The Universalist supper, given in
Jones building last Friday night for the
benefit of Rev. Eldridge, was largely at
tended and highly enjoyed. The ladies
Of the society deserved and received
much credit for the admirable way III
which they served their excellent supper
The large attendance was an unmlstaka

this good old man is held in Austin
Let Austin make the remaining days
which this good man has to spend with
US as pleasant to HIM as possible.
Mrs. Ann Eliza Young made her
third appearance in Austin Tuesday
evening, to very meager audience in
deed. She is talented lady, and has
devoled her life to the exposure and ex
tirpation Of the infamy ofpolygamy from
free and enlightened America. She is
zealously and sincerely laboring for the
welfare of her suffering sisters in Utah
and the strangest thing in connection
with the whole matter, is the cool recep
ton she receives in many places from
her own sex. She is a cultivated, gentle
lady, and as pure as any the sun shines
on. The women Of America should en-.
courage and sustain her.

Last Saturday week, twin boys were
born to Mr. and Mrs. w. W. Englc-two
sweet and promising husband thu
house was full Of JOY. Last Saturday til.
death frost came and nipped one Of the
tender buds and laid it away forever, ane
the dark shadow Of sorrow eclipset
the bright sunshine of joy. One ha
been taken and the other has been left
and who shall say the All Father has no
dealt kind!ier by the one he has taken
unto Himself, than by the other who IS
left here to struggle and to suffer? What
a consolation the belief that these sweet
babes, though separated here, and, so soon
may meet hereafter and live an eternity
together in each others love.
The bracket-saw fever has struck
Austin in dead earnest. Life, to the boy
that hasn't bracket-saw, is hardly worti
living; and the parents of the boy wht
has one, are also about persuaded tia
this life is all fleeing show, or circus
or something of the kind, which is hardly
worth what it costs to keep up table ex
penses, etc. They sleep, and dream O
bracket.saws, and brackets, and sheets Of
designs, and wood, and dirt, and saw. dust
and groups of noisy boys 60 milling
through their brains like horrid night
mare, till they awake and find conso!atio.

saws are passing. And yet, after all
these childish troubles are only surface
