Blankets Stolen,

Last evening Commodore Davis, 0l
Day & Co., missed four pairs oil
blankets frum in front OF his store,
where they were on exhibition. He
proceeded up street and entered the
second hand store just south of 6av-
ages Bazaar, where he saw 3 couple
of them. He asked where they had
been obtained, and was answered by
the remark, 81 just bought them
from him." pointing 10 fellow in
the store. but who at this point made
a break from the store and up the
street, close followed by Commodore
Davis. Tn, commodore was too
much for the fellow, and caught him
about a block above the Council
House. The fellow came back nearly
8 block, when another person was
met, and the prisoner reiu ed to go
farther. Here Mr.. David Yearsley
stepped up, when the second IN
known pc son told the prisoner to
stab or kill his csptor. and knivel
were drawn on Messrs. Davis and
Yearsley, both OF whom were IN
armed. and in the scaffle that ensued
the two got away. Subsequently
Mr.. DAVIS armed himself and
began peregrina.ing. Shortly after
wards he ran across q person
he believed to be the man be
was after, snd he followed him
several blocks, endeavoring to assure
himself that he had struck the proper
person, when by q sudden turn, and
9 short run, the pursued left the
commodore in the rear. Officers
Phillips and Pratt, being told OF the
occurrence, picked up 8 couple of
fellows, who had been arrested on g
similar charge before, but Mr.. Davis
could not identify them as the men,
and they were released. Two pairs of
blankets have been recovered, the
others are non est.
About I.30 O'Clock this morning
these same two fellows were arrested
while in bed st the Overland House.
They had previously changed clothes
with each other, and one had put on .
cap; it is also believed they shaved. ss
Mr. Davis said the man he nsbbsd
bad side whiskerG. When awakened
the fellow said he had no cap,
but it was subsequently, found under
tho msttrass. They are now in
jail. They are supposed to be two Of
a gang that is doing 90 much petty
thieTing ct present.

AbOut Weather.

A close observer of the climate in
this valley has decided that changes
can be determined with certainty by
observing the following rules: On the
approach OF a warm spell the upper
stratum of clouds will come from the
southwest. This is the warm, moist
current from the Pacific Ocean, and
brings our rainfall in winter time
On the contrary, when the upper
stratum is from the northwest, cold
weather may be depended upon.
Storms from this quarter are of short
duration and generally cold. The
upper stratum of clouds generally
move from the southwest nine months
ID the year. The hight of this
upper stratum fron the valley may
safely be estimated st about two
miles and a half. Storms in Cali
fornA produce strong south winds in
Utah, and generally precede a rainfall
here.

Wanted TO be an Angel.

A young fellow of fast procliViLieI
has been in the habit OF going OF
hard and periodical sprees of late
with but very little re between each.
On Thursday evening he had it bad,
and in addition to other habits, ha.
contracted, it is alleged, that of freely
psrtakiDg of morphine. On the
evening in question, he resolved to
metanorphose ntnself Into an aDge +,
and tn his friends announced that by
Y O'Clock all that would be left of him
would be cold clay; in earnest ofwhich
be informed some of his friends =
when defunct they could have sunGI
trinkets, of more or less value. Some
of these friends, however, thought
that this earth vas sufficiently good
for him and took away the NOR
phiue. and kept a WAtchiul eye over
him;,and as no suicides have been re-
ported since, it ia probable that by
this time he has arrived at the same
belief as his triends-this earth ia
good enough tor him for the present.

of water, any amount of timber, and
the climate is warm and pleasant; in
addition to this, we have coal fields In
abundance right by as, which are sus-
ceptible OF ready access. We are
located on the river, and there is
timber enough growing on its banks
right here to fence in all the land
that will be taken up. The stretch
OF land on which Blake City has
been settled extenss about ten miles
up AMI down ths river, and a canal
can be taken out at almost any point
on either side, for conveying irrigGt-
ing water. Up to December oath, we
had no snow to speak OF, and it had
Talned the week previous eonsid-
srably, giving evidence OF q mildDess
OF climate.
A canal has already been started
on the west side of the river; and
little if any trouble will be expert
enced in getting water out. ss there is
natural lay OF boulders across the
river. at the head of the caBal which
servss as a dam, and there is DO

sufficient amount OF ducats to operate
as al induoement for the continuance
Of Judge G. @. Goodwin as the pre-

OF the success that has attended the
efforts of these begging brigsdes, the
owners of the ex- Heddless, it is said,
are seriously considering the advisa-
bility OF further testing the length of
contributing purses to see If the entire

of their employees, cannot be raised bv

successful. it is thought the ex- HeadLeSS
can be run go as TO pay expenses.
The donations thus given must be

sides.
