BRIGHAM CITY, May 20, 'S4

Editors Herald:
There has not been great deal
going on here since l last wrote to
you, everything being as a rule
nujet and steady. We had, how.
ever. a gala day on Tuesday last.
the 9th, it being the occasion OF
the May walk for the Sunday school
children, which was prevented on
the 18th instant by stormy weather.
At about 9 in the morning the
Brigham City Brsss Band paraded
the streets discouraing sweet music
and calling all the citizens who were
to participate in the days proceed
ings to the Court House, where the
procession formed at 10 am, under
the direction Of George Graehl, Esq,
marshal of the day. Ii then pro-
ceeded to Apostle Shows, the band
serenading the reverend veteran.
From here they called at Mayor
Msdsen's, the band again favorlng
with some choice airs. Owing ID a
storm the night previous it was
feared the ground would be too
damp at the grove, where 1t was in
tended the days sport should be.
The committee therefore had dis
patched q subcommittee to aScer-
tain the condition of the ground,
which returned while the. Mayor
was being serenaded and reported
unfavorably. After some consulta~
ton the procession was disbsnded
and the programme changed as fol-
lows: In the afternoon at dance
was given the children at the Social
Hall, which lasted until S o'clock,
and In the evening smother dance
was given at the Social Hall for the
older people, and dramatic per-
formance by the juveniles, for all
ages, was held at the Court House.
Everything went off lovely, no acct
dents or jars OF any kind occurring.
About ten days ago an insane
woman living in Eden, Weber Co.,
wandered from her Hume barefoot
foot and scantily dressed.
Marshal Loveland OF this city
hearing of it started up in
the hills to look for her, and though
getting on her trail several times did
not meet her. He determined fins
ally to seek assistance from her
relatives, and upon arriving at their
home found she had returned of her
own volition. The marshal says she
must have suffered terribly from
cold, the snow being twenty feet
deep in some places. She was also
exposed to dangers OF wild beasts.
The marshal saw two bears and seY-
eral bear tracks.
What might have been a serious
accident occurred a few days ago.
a young couple were walking in
the vicinity OF Box Elder creek and
desiring to cross the stream pre-
cured plank. When about in the
centre of the plank it turned with
them and both were precipitated
into the water. The young lady
was carried considerable distance
before the young man could
reach her and draw her out.
Two Salt Lake Agricultural I'M
plement houses have lately estab-
lished agencies here, the Osborne

The Box Elder Creek is badly
swollen and doing considerable dam
age to property in Brigham City.
The streets in some parts are in q
terrible condition.
The Bear River has overfiown to
such an extent that it is impossible
for teams to cross direct by the reg
ular road from Brigham to COrinDe;
they have to 60 up around by Bear
River City to reach 1t.
Dame Gossip whispers there will
be quite a few marriages here
shortly, some of the contracting
parties being the offspring OF prom
inent citizens.
ExThe trains on the q. & n. going
bota north and south are very ir-
regular. being on an average two
hours late daily.
The weather has been very stormy
of late, and while others may grum.

rejoice.
A. E. Suo ~ s. Co. are closing out
their stock of general merchandise,
