The large amount OF freight on the
road from the terminus OF the Utah Cen.
tral-one party having 20, 900 pounds for

When some OF my lady chums are re.
turning home with their fellows in the
small hours. - they ought to be more
discreet. for loud talking will attract the

Your former scribe is talking about
going to Salt Lake for his health, when
tine furnace shuts down over in Bullion
vile. Now, Mr.. RECORD, that excuse is
altogether too thin. The fact is, that
rakish character. after vainly trying to
get some of US girls to marry him, has
made up his mind that his only show Of
getting q wife lies in his joining our bro
therhood Of saints up in the city. 1t is
true he howls about the evil effects of
polygamy on the rising generation, but it
is equally as true that he did pack one of
our banners on the oath of July in Salt
Lake City, which bore the motto, II

A few weeks since we made mention of
the stealing of couple Of checks from
the Office of Supt. Godbe by one Frank
Mathews. and the passing of one of them
on Quartz Sparks, Sr. It now transpires,
however, that the rascal did not confine
his operations to the cancelled checks,
but helped himself to some blank checks
from new book unused by Mr.. Godbe,
as that gentleman received q dispatch on
Tuesday, from the Deseret Bank of Salt
Lake, informing him that an $S7 com.
was forgery. Upon receiving the dis.
patch Mr.. Godbe found that five blanks
had been distracted, as above stated.
The checks at present not heard from are
numbers 4766, 4767, 476S and 477O. II

with Jas. Walsh and Ed. Moore, ostensi

Mountain, and it will be well for the peo
pie Of those camps to keep sharp looh
out for him, IS he is dangerous person
to be at large.
For the benefit Of those who labol
under the impression that the Edmundi
law has in any way prevented the sol
emnization of polygamous marriages
across the line, we will relate little in
stance that occurred over at Parowan, /,
few weeks since, which is strictly true
in every particular, and was given to u
by one whose veracity has never beef
questioned: In the aforesaid village live
Ed. Dalton, old man Dalton and Bisho]
Jones, all prominent citizens and shining
lights Of the Latter-day Dspensation, a
preached from the pulpit Of the Parowal
meeting. house. The former OF this trit
returned from a mission to the sum,
South few months since with three con
verts-two old women, and sixteen
year.old girl, daughter to one OF tn
women. The girl Is represented as fai
type OF rural Southern lass, bein
comely and shapely, and just the perso
to attract the attention Of some lecheI
. ously inclined old polygamist. At an
rate, the Bishop, who by the way
something over sixty years old, saw an,
