Sassacus Excursion.

Large Party and Fine Time.
 Before seven o'clock yesterday morning all the thoroughfares leading to the Steamboat dock began to swarm with people, old and young, large and small, with baskets and without, bound on the Sassacus encampment excursion to New York and the Hudson riv- CT on the steamer Elm City. The boat swung of from the dock at quarter, past eight to the martial sound of the Sassacus drum corps from the hurricane deck with eight hundred and seventy-f persons on board, and after lovely sail landed about four hundred excursionists at Twenty third street dock at half-past two o'clock, after which she continued on around New York city and up the Hudson river as far as the Palisades returning to 23rd street dock at half past four giving the excursionists till six o'clock to stay. Owing to the strong wind and tide prevailing, the first landing was not effected for some time. and no landing was made at Peck's Slip on account of the chang ing of Q sewer which necessitated the tearing up of the dock. Many left the boat on her return from the Hudson for a short tour through the streets and to give themselves little exercise on terra frma. At six o'clock the boat steamed away for home, leaving the customary belated ones behind, among them two ladies. arriving home without accident before midnight. Dancing was engaged in all day to the music of Thomas orchestra, and through the efforts of the committee this was rendered one of the pleasantest and most successful excursions of the season. The committee were
 Capt. Peter Terhune, H. B. Perry, A. A. Kellogg, Lewis Manderville, Max Thalheimer. Many prominent Odd Fellows were in the company, among whom we noticed s. Fair child, w. W. White, George Blakeman, Col. Tolles, s. B. Hammond and many others. The sail up to New Haven was most delight the heaVing waters, while the moon shining down from out the clouded sky, the cool breeze and the strains of music from the orchestra left nothing more to be desired.

AVotce from the Poets.

In the long ago, Thompson, the poet of The Season, drew a picture of summer dis eases:
 dThen. wastefu1, forth
 Walks the dire power of pestilent disease.
 A thousand hideous hends her course attend,
 Sick nature blasting and to heartleEs woe
 And feeble desolation, casting down
 The towering hopes and all the pride of man." Mighty pretty poetry, but the discovery of Perry Davis' Pain Killer has robbed summer complaints of their horror. Thompson wouldn't paint such picture now. He would be like all other sensible people, moving serenely about amid summer scenes, with the confidence that bottle of the great remedy would circumvent any attack of the 'thou- sand hideous fiends."

The DANTE Chief.

Bill Hickman the notorious leader of the
Danites in olden times, whose name was
once terror to immigrants from the Mis-
souri, river to the Pacific ocean. is still alive
and lives in the eastern part ofthe territory
a decayed horse thief and murderer. He
is said to occasionally indulge in violation of
law nowadays, stealing stray steer or a
vagrant pony, but he no longer eats a gentle
for.breakfast every morning and is still living
on his reputation as acutthroat. Hickman
yet claims to be Mormon, but the Mormons
repudiate him, saying he never belonged
to the church, and claim that the murders he
committed were done of his own accord and
not under the doctrine OF "blood atone
ment," of whi0h 80 much had been said.
He has written an autobiography, or hired
some scribbler to write one for him, in which
he gives the organization of the Danites, and
a list OF the crimes he claims to have COM
mitted under the orders of the church. The
genties have little faith in him or his sto-
ries, aud agree with the Mormons that,he is
the greatest villain unhung.-[Salt Lake
