does Utah need9 answer: Her people
need the gospel, but the law must pre-
pare the way for it. These blatant
traitors, who hurl anathemas at the Fed
eral authorities, need to be taught at
least outward respect for the Govern
ment. Polygamists who defy the law,
and make open boasts that the authori-
ties at Washington dare not interfere
with them. need to mediate on the sub
ject few years in the seclusiou of q
prison cell. Then, next to the law and
the gospel, Utah needs free schools.
There is no such thing as free school
IN the Territory. except the half-a-dozen
primary schools sustained by the vari
Gus Christian denominations. who have
gained slight foothold here. There is
an open field to-day for at least one
hundred competent Christian teachers
| and if these teachers could be furnished
and their support guaranteed, the next
ten years would witness far greater
| changes in Utah than have taken place
in ten years past.

oh how we miss our Clarke
We miss him in every ROOM
The house since our darling left us
Is filed with sadness and gloom.
We weep when we miss his sweet prattle
When we miss his loving look
When We see his little empty bed.
The half-worn shoes and coat.
When we see his toys and dresses;
When we see his little chair;
When we miss his pattering foot steps:
When we look at his picture fair.
But it is joy to think of our darling
Free from pain and at rest;
We know his head is now pillowed
On the dear Saviors breast.
We know he is watching and waiting
At the gate with a robe of white
To welcome his papa and ma NINA
To the heavenly mansions SO bright.

LANCASTER, for few days of last
week was entirely shut off from the out
side world by the railroad, and all the
mail received at the postoffice in this
city from Wednesday until nine o'clock
Saturday night, was by stage and very
meagre at that. During that period
snow blockades on the C. & n. w. R'y
entirely stopped business on the Lam
caster, Platteville and Galena branches.
Between Montfort and Livingston on
the regular line, and Montfort, Benton
on the Galena branch were huge snow
drifts, which detied plows and engines,
and attempts at clearing the track dur
ing the severe cold weather and Eigh
winds of Thursday and Friday, were
almost futile. Consequently southern
Wisconsin and northwestern Illinois was
almost entirely closed to railroad COM
munication for period of nearly three
days.

The leap year party, announced by
Lancaster's fairest ladies to take place
at Hyde's Hall this Thursday night. has
created wild panic amongst certain
single gentlemen worthy
gentlemen who were born great many
years ago and who have enjoyed single
cussedness all too long; and it was re-
ported this morning that many of
them had departed precipitous and
simultaneously on urgent business to
different points of the county. One
went to Bloomington to ascertain the
probable extent of that city's contribu-
tons to this years criminal crop; and
it is said that another sought refuge in
Harrison, doubtless to enquire after the
barge" Biddy Martin. Still others
are supposed to have visited Belmont,
Beetown and Georgetown, and even in
the noble city of Washington one of our
old "vets" was heard of as enquiring
the road to the Patent office. 1t is hard
