-Hark ye croakersl we have had three
fine days in succession.
No accident on the G. s. to-day a. far
AZ heard from. Reports not all in, how
ever.
-Punctually at 2l5 the INTERIOR
JOURNAL made its appearance and was
welcomed as usual.
.-Whats the matter? Our z. NJ. seems
to distribute the mail with a pre-occupied
air; and. while he is playing out hand Of
letters, frequently pauses and knocks upon
the table as II his mind was dwelling
amid the memories Of the past
Fowler and Chenault held Con-en-
ton TO day. Reporters were rigidly ex-
cluded. The speeches, therefore, cannot
be given. Enough has leaked out, howev-
er, TO enable me TO give YOU an inkling Of
the true inwardness Of the convocation-
which promise to do in due time and
ample form. Should fail TO redeem this
promise, ! respectfully refer to Ed Kenne-

Is il true that the Mormons have en-
ployed emissaries to pry into the private
devotions Of the lawmakers at Washing

bill in the threatened conflict between the
holy horror Of the Gentiles and the liber-
al theory Of the Saints on matters matri-
monial2 II 20, we predict a compromise.
There will he no war emanating from this
quarrel. OF course our Legislators don't
fear an investigation; but then the annoy
ance Of the thing, yon know.
Il congratulate my Young friend, Joe
Paxton, on the result of his first effort as
pros. atty. lie got the sentence OF the
Court wrong end foremost, though Ac-
cording 10 modern ethics wife-beating is
regarded like all other athletic sports, as a
game in which the uncertainty Of success
gives zest to the contest. 1t is an affair Of
muscle and pluck; and, no matter on
which side victory may perch, the luxury
OF making up is sufficient reward for
conquest, and ample remuneration for de-
feat. But there has been a reaction in
opinion as to mothers.in law; and would
advise all young men TO look into the mat

factor in working out the great problem
Of success in wooing, and peace in the
family circle. Look to IT Joe.
The failure Of the Whipping Post
bill is being celebrated with appropriate
ceremonies in this region. On Friday
night the corn crib Of Clint jenkins wal
raided, and, it is estimated, some ten OF
twelve bushels Of corn--part Of which had
been shelled and put into sacks-was alb
stracted. The thieves gained an entrances
by boring away the stats Of the crib. Oh
Sunday night the lock on the door Of Da
vid Rifles store-house-some four mile
South Of this place was bored away, and

Among the articles taken were a sack o
coffee, a half barrel gcanulated sugar, sew
