The new Legislature.o Utah, elected in
August last, meets next month. 1t is be-
lieyeyed that this Mormon body will not
enact the laws required by the act Of Con-
gress Of March 90, 1882, diFqualifying poly

this event the Utah Commission will re-

have little terror for the Mormons. Vi

 The Derby road receipts for this quarter are expected to exceed considerably the re- ceipts for the corresponding quarter last year. For the six months ending March 31, 1882, the receipts were $S1 ,2O5.29 and for the quarter ending March 31 they were $370 larger. Very soon the road will be stee tracked all the way to Derby. Last year 197, ,O0O passengers were carried. Several improvements are ahead, including $2, 900 H owe truss wooden bridge over the creek this side of Derby.
 The new locomotives recently built for the Hartford road give much satisfaction to ex- perienced railroad men. The Venus,
 ''Adonis" and No. 1O7' are among these frst-class pieces of railroad furniture They are fast-a special requisite in this genera tion. For instance, No. 1O7 took a train
