One can always find something pleas
ant to say of anything if they will but
try hard enough. The editor of the
Marysville Banner speaks rather vaguely
of the merits of a dramatic troupe per-
forming in that town, but adds "Too
much cannot be said Of the admirable
elocution Of the prompter, whose clear,
bell like voice could be heard in all parts
of the hall"

The Old Mill Pond.

Who is there who has not in some re-
cess of the memory dear old haunt
like this, some such sleeping pond radl-
ant with reflections of the scenes of early
life Thither in those Winter days we
came, our numbers swelled from right
and left with eager volunteers for the
game. till at last almost hundred strong
we rally on the smooth black ice The
opposing leaders choose their sides, and
with load hurrahs we penetrate the
thickets at the waters edge, each to cut
his special choice Of sticll-that festive
oudgel, with curved and clubshaped end,
known to the boy as a skinny stick" "
but to the calm recollection of after life
principally as an instrument of torture,
Unfortunately promiscuous in its play
full moments.
How clearly and distinctly l recall
those toughening, rollicking sports of
the old mill pond l see the two OPP
posing forces on the field of ice, the
wooden ball placed ready for the fray.
The starter lifts his stick. | hear a
whizzing sweep. Then comes that lib
uid. twittering dirty of the hard wood
ball skimming over the ice, that quick
succession Of bird-hke notes, first dis
tict ard clear, now fainter and more
blended, now fainter still, until at last
it melts into luivering whistle, and
dies away midst the scraping sound of
the close pursuing skates. With sharp
crack see the ball returned singing
over the polished surface, and met half
way by the advance guard of the
leading side. Now comes the tug
of war Strange fun What spectacle !
The swouldbe striker, with stick up
lifted, damned in the centre of bois-
ferrous throng the hillsides echo with
ringing shouts, and an anxious circle,
with ready sticks, forms about the
swaying, gesticulating mob. Mean
while the ball is beating round beneath
their feet, their skates are clashins steel
on steel. hear the shuffling kicks, the
battling strokes of clubs, the husky NUT
terings of passion half suppressed | hear
the painting breath and the impetuous
whisperings between the teeth, as they
push and wrestle and jam. A lucky hit
now sends the ball few feet from the
fray. \ ready hand improves the
chance but as he lifts his stick young
ster's nose gets in the way and spoils his
stroke; he slips, and falls upon the ball
another and another plunge headlone
over him. The crowd surround the
. PROSTATE pile and punch among then
for the ball When found, the same ri
otous scene ensues another falls, and
all are trampled under foot by the en-
thusiastic crowd. Ye gods will anyone
come out alive | hear the old famil
lar sounds vibrating on the air whack

then " Now I've GOT it |" "Shinny on
Yer own side - ard now heavy tAud
which means a sudden dampcr on some
ones wild enthusiasm. And so it goes
on until the game is won. The mob dis
perses, and the riotous spectacle gives
place to uproaiious jollity.-W. H. Glib

SALT LAKE
WEEKLY HERALD.

The demand for a WEEKLY HERALD
has been very pressing during the past
two or three years. The aim OF
the publishers will be to furnish a
paper for those people who live
of the main lines OF travel and who
are not accommodated with mail ser-
vice oftener than once week; to
provide a newspaper for those who
have only one day week of leisure
to devote to the pleasant and prohta-
BILE employment OF reading; to supply
a suitable edition of the HERALD for
sending abroad-a paper that shall
faithfully and honestly represent this
great and growing territory, with lis
many aud important industries and
its thrifty, enterprising people; to
make paper for the home circle and
family freside. one that shall contain
the news, and at the same time COM
blue the essential elements OF liter
arv, educational and industrial jour
nal. In fact, cur aim will be to make
the WEEKLY HERALD welcome
visitor to the home, where it will be
.ound a constant fund CT instruction,
entertainment aud profit, TO
all members of the family
Besides the leading characteristics OF
the Daily, the Weekly will contain
matter specially for the sgriculturist,
the gardener, the stock-raiser, the
mechanic, the kitchen and the house
hold generally, and an important
feature OF its columns will be the
weIl-chosen, entertaining and moral
literature, also reports OF the Iaber-
nscle discourses. Nothing will be ad'
mitted to its columns that has moi
fret been carefully prepared and re
vised.

Loui.ville, 4.-Democratic state con-
vention on June II.
Chicago, 5.-A prominent democrat,
who is in close communion with Tilden,
gives trustworthy information that the
latter Is now busy preparing for The nomi-
nation at the Cincinnati convention. He
builds his expectation on the belief that
Grant will be the republican nominee
and thinks he can readily beat Grant or
any other nominee except Wsshburne.
1t is worthy Of note that the friends of
Iilden are profoundly impressed with the
idea that the Chicago nominee will be
either Grant or Blaine, and that in either
case they are determined to nominate
Tilden, They have no faith in the pre-
tensions of other candidates of either
party.

bitterness sown by the Utica convention
among the Brooklyn republicans are
springing up. In the Fourth Ward

On motion of VIM. A. Lynn, one OF

lowing resolution was unanimously
adopted by the republicans of Bergen

limited vote of the party is neces-
sary 10 its success in November. We
deem it inadvisable that Gen. Grant
should receive the nomination for Presi-
dent from the republican rational con
vention at Chicago, and it is the wish o.
this convention that delegates elected
here shall oppose, at Trenton, the choice
of any delegate 10 Chicago who favori
