PANAcA, August 81. 1884.

ioene AcAlister OF st. George, Messrs.
Whitelock, Cannon, Gardiner, Pulsipher
and Bishop Terry, all of Utah, arrived in
Panaca. On Sunday these gentlemen
preached in our meeting house, which
was filed to overlooking, and fervent
prayers were offered up for the souls of
our brothers who were the other day so
cruelty assassnated by the wicked peo.
pie way off in Tennessee. Our visiting
brethren all departed for their homes ON
Monday, and may God speed them in
their noble work.
The political cauldron is boiling in our
village. Great big bubbles come up from
the bottom of it. Some OF our venerable
residents have been attacked with an
office-seeking itching, and why should
they not be, for are they not the Oldest
settlers in the county, and surely who has
better right to hold Office: l am try
ing to persuade dear papa to run for
office, and when he gets elected we will
then SO up to the big city of Phoebe to
live
The first political meeting held in Pa
naca was held on Monday evening.
Judge Rives, Eugene Howell and Thomas
Brown from Phoebe were down here, and
they brought DR.. Reese along with them
to administer political physic to our peo-
| pie. called on the doctor to get some
of his physic, but the horrid old man
said was 80 hard looking that he didn't
think the medicine would have any effect
on me. Judge Rives addressed the meet
ing, also Mr. Howell and Thomas Brown.
MIR. Browns talk took the best-he sat in
his seat and said nothing.
| The latest news from the front, in re-
gard to the Public Administrator and his
young army, is that on reaching Con.
ways place, they came very near having
a pitched battle between themselves.
The commander in.chief, on arriving in
camp, made charge on the molasses
| jug, and after little reconnaissance, he
made the appalling discovery that the
molasses had evacuated the vessel He
accused all his field.marshals and soldiers
as having made raid ON the Jug, and
condemned all the army to be extermi.
mated, whereupon the whole army run
and hid in the sagebrush, until the com.
mander got over his mad, when they re.
turned to camp. The next morning the
army started on its advance. At last &C.
counts, the army was mred in the stream.
The army managed to extricate itself
from this perilous predicament, but the
unfortunate commander was left in q
wagon, mired in the stream, with horses
detached, while the army were engaged
in firing mud cannon-balls at their un.
happy chief. The latest from the front
is that the army has become greatly de.
moralized, owing to the cook having lost
the first joint Of his little finger, which
was cut off by one of the wagon bows.
Very latest from the front.-The army
has been reorganized and is advancing
under the command Of Captain Matthews,
who has been placed temporarily in
charge, till the commander. in. chief re-.
covers from his wounds.
1t is anticipated that the teaching
works in Bullionvile will be ready to
run by the first of October. 1t is the
intention to first try and take the silver
out of the tailings without roasting, as it
will be much less expensive, but should
the desired result fail by this manner,
then the method of roasting will be re-
sorted to. The owners of the tailings are
perfectly satisfied that the silver can
be extracted by roasting. Experiments
and tests have fully demonstrated this
fact.
Archy Yoacham, of the Wash, accom-
panied by his daughter, left Panaca on
Monday for Salt Lake. He goes thither
for the purpose of placing Miss Vergic in
the st. Mary's Convent.
! 1t is now quite the handsome thing for
the young boys of our village to wear the
hats of us girls. The dear, little things
look so sweet and cunning with these
hats on. 1t sets them off charmingly;
but how sheepishly they appear when a
stranger passes them.
| We ale happy to say that brother
Samuel Lee, whose ribs were pressed
into his flesh by man hugging him
about the waist so tightly, in Phoebe,
during the week, is rapidly recovering.
