sheet, filled with bad grammar, worse wood
outs and horrible burlesques on wit, was i'm
posed upon a long-sufering public yester-

is edited by the shears, New Jersey whisky

A little strategy was used by the bartend-
ers yesterday in giving the BARRIERS clean
shave of % to 20. The gin-s!ingers adroltly
made beer the basis of the contest, and as a
consequence they say they just walked away
with the lather and soap artists. A second
game is brewing between the two profess
sions, and the BARRIERS say they will then re-
deem themselves.
The Salt Lake Herald now publishes less
Geographic matter than any other paper in
the CITY, has fewer subscribers, and is re-
ported to be in generally demoralized con-
dition. The grand premium swindle broke
the rotten concern all up, and the Church
has been appealed to in order to keep the
measly thing atioat.
The Salt Lake Herald is abusive, in its
usual imbecile manner, because a soldier
who fought through the war, but who now
processes the Mormon faith, has been re-
fused fellowship with the G. A. Z. The
choir singer of that sheet should now damn
the Masons, the Odd Fellows, and the
Knights of Pythias for the same reason.
These are law-abiding associations, as is the
G. A. r., and as the Herald claims to be an
impartial Organ it should not slight them.
The trial of Kennedy and Barry, who fig
ured in the row near the Cliff House on
Monday evening, was held in the Police

quarrel grew out of little misunderstand-
ing, which now had been amicably settled
between them, and in view of the circum-
stances he wished the fine imposed to be as
light as possible. After due consideration
Justice Speirs imposed a fine of $40 upon
Kennedy for battery, and So upon Barry for
disturbing the peace.
Mr.. Willard Weihe, the efficient leader of
the Theatre Orchestra, has received through
Mr.. D. @. Calder one OF George Gemunder's
celebrated violins. The instrument is per-
feet model of the "Antonius SIMULTANEOUS -
and in appearance looks worn by age. Mr..
Weihe kindly played Home, Sweet Home
TO the delight of several listeners this after
noon at Calder's music store, and the instru-
ment showed wonderful smoothness and
fine quality of tone. The price of this beau
tiful instrument is $500, and Mr.. Weihe is
as delighted with his new companion as q
boy with Christmas toy.
