This country has been favored BY
the presence of DR.. Fisher in the
interest Of the Bible Society, American
by name, undenominstioual in cha
racter. He held six religious exer.
cises in Msntl on one Sabbath day. in
the churches OF the Saints and Pres
byterians. He has organized soma
branches of tbs American Bible
Society IN this country and promises
US visits of cOopersteTs, not to con-
vert. or proselyte, but to distribute
Gods blessed Hord, In which sndeavor
l most heartily wish him God speed;
tor a copy Of the holy scriptures
should De IN the house and hands OF
every one 10 Utah abba to read. No
weapon is as ehectual to exterpats
error as this book, and Judged by It's
results it is hsppifylng and beneficial.
The Nlmrods OF this county have
had most delightful success In stalking
the deer; though, by the by, it would
nave been more so, had the time not
been 90 short. l have some time
thought some gentleman from the
northern part OF the territory must
have prepared that bill on game, be-
cause they leave for the south about
that time and to them the sport is
over, while with us it has barely be
gun. OBJ for one month more OF
delicious sportI But as it was, parties
OF four and ivs have returned with
their twenty to thirty -four deers in 8
few days, and the proud antlers
adOrn barn and stable. The tracks
OF deer passing east and west to the
mountain ranges are indeed numeI-
Gus, suggesting perhaps q premium
by and by for the deer scalp, for our
crops IN the past season have shown
evidence Of the deer visits.
This is a quiet peaceful, starving
place for lawyers. No exciting liti-
CATION; no fghis-the incidents OF
saloons; but 10 one city in the county,
the authorities civic seem to sleep on
the verge of a vortex of sin and
shame Yet these little quiet cities
are environed about for many miles |
with charter limits and rights, and the |
revenue is 60 small that for q strong
two-fsted fight vita saloon-keepers |
and their alders and abetlors the civics |
quail. The counties are forbidden, |
By charter rights. to enter tae sacred |
pIecinc. OF city to suppress, as 1t has
wherever 1t had the right, this mon
,ter drink. Even the peregriuatlng
wagon enters one Of these cities and |
n the streets thereof peddles the
medicinal bitters, twenty-five bottles
1t q time to be consumed on The
Itreets-st least its medicinal proper
les are seen by tangled legs and
nuddled brains.
The drummer from cities east
icour through our county taking or
iers for goods, draining US Of cur
money, leaving the d. G. NJ l. and
NY merchants out in the cold and
tultiiying our home industries. These
RUNNERS pay no taxes, repair DO
'Osds, support no schools, build no
emples, pay no tilhipg or licenses,
sud yet they are supported; while
citizens below, in the same line of
foods. Handsomely contribute in
chool funds for the support OF our
district schools. Even the ubiquitous
German and Jew come along in the
conveyance at So per day OF some
amt knowing as to the rich ones OF
he town or county and sells them the
cal Paisley shawl, the never-to-be-
destroyed Irish poplin dress and
emnants OF seven yards length OF

Iuietly smuggled in from Old Eng

lied with blank notes Of hand and
1st wants your signature. l saw one
nan who accosted me on his return
rom securing one of the southern
ountiee: Tell me, Bro. D. c.,
'here can / sell q dozen Paisley

lot know and so drove on. He
ad bought these and table linen,

Even the iron horse that was to be

be rude hand OF law lays heavy on

ir James, and My Lord So and So,
ave been csjoled out OF their ducats in
England and will awake some morn
lg to find that not only does the
orse sleep but the coA slum5ers in
8 pristine veins. Or has Jay Gould
emmed them in and thus the
blarsted" Yankee is just one ahead?
