Lake.
THE SNOW is rapidly melting, but the
sleighs still boom.
JOHN R. WINDER and Jesse Fox, Jr.
were among our visitors to-day.
MAYOR DUsENBERRY is again out, bu
still at some inconvenience through
having to use crutches.
The THIRD term of school at the
Academy commenced on Monday last,
with large number of pupils in attend
ance.
SOMETHING WHICH greatly needs at
tentiOn, is the ventilation of our ball
rooms. Whenever there is dance, al
most everyone goes home feeling much
fatigued. which is caused more or'less by
the closeness of the hall. This should
be seen to by some one in authority.
Phil MAReETTs with the springville
Dramatic Company is playing this week
in the leading settlements of this
county. They perform here on Friday
and Saturday nights in Cuffs Theatre,
The plays being presented are "Will
and the Way and "a Lost Child
YESTERDAY, SHERIFF TURNER received
telegram from Price station on the D.
Il r. G. to arrest q man and daughter
who were on the west bound train, the
charge being incest. The man is about
45 years of age, and the daughter Is.
They are both now confined in our city
jail.
WIN. J. SILVER delivered lecture in
the court room last evening, under the
auspecies of the Provo reading rooms.
on the subject of iron, its uses, etc. At
1880 O'Clock there was no standing
room left in the hall. but before the
lecture was over a great many had left,
although the lecture was instructive.
On MONDAY night, lectures were given
in the Tabernacle free of charge by Mr..
Ship and DR.. Shipp of Salt Lake,
good-sized audience being in attendance.
Mr. Ship occupied the first part of the
evening, and spoke very emlphatically
in regard to the necessity of ventilating
homes. and more especially bedrooms,
Dr. Shipp spoke mainly on "the health
of the heart" giving several illustra
tons. She also spoke of the necessity
of providing pure air during sleep. The
lectures were well delivered, and great
ly appreciated. 1t is understood they
intend delivering lectures again this
evening, and will charge % cents adj
mission.
Nor long since we had occasion TO
make mention of ga gang of hoodlums"
who infest the fourth ward OF our city.
Since the severe reprimand the court
gave them at the time, we are pleased
to say. they have almost entirely desist-
ed from ANY further meanness, and are
employing their leisure time in more
lucrative pastimes. But now the third
ward comes to the front, and for pure
cussedness they excel all others. There
are about ten in the gang, and range
from 16 to 81 years of age. 1t has now
come to such state of affairs among
them, that's gentleman, and especially
a stranger, cannot make a visit in that
part of town unless he is in some way
basely insulted by them. 1t is very
much to be deplored that such things
still exist in the midst of ciriliza ton,
and we hope that the city officials may
be able to break up and lay waste all
such rowdyism. With the assistance of
the residents of that district we are
satisfied they can. Boys! desistl brace
up and make men of yourselves. This
will be easier to do than to be constantly
insulting some one, and receiving
"black ewes" in return: las some OF YOU
did on Monday night" for your so
called amusement, By doing as YOU
are above advised, you may become Or
naments to society, and a blessing to
yonr families; instead of being as you
now are, disgrace to both.
