IN A MORMON TOWN.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN poLYeAMY LIFE.
A. Seen by a Minister Employed by
tho Home Missionary Society
Facts About a Peculiar
People.

Writing from Lehi, Utah, not long ago,
w. Forbes Cooley gives some interesting
facts about Mormon life. lie says:
"Let me extent to you and your readers
cordial invitation to pay our beautiful
Utah villages visit and study Rocky
Mountain polygamy, offspring OF
Yankee Mohammed's fertile brain. IN Its
final stronghold. The balniy airs OF all
early spring, the green-carpeted earth,
the fruit trees just blOssoming into
wealth Of beauty, together with the deep
blue of lake and sky. and the Glistening
whiteness of the snow-clad peaks OF the
Wasatch and Oquirrh ranges. which
shut us in. all join with us In giving you
welcome as you step from the train.
Naturally you are curious to see what
Mormon town Is like, and how polygamy
looks at close quarters. The uninviting
streets, the barren-looking adobe houses
with groves of fruit trees, forlorn fences,
and general air of shiftlessness, tell moth
ing except the fact that this peculiar peo-
pie, while indubitabiy industrious, is
careless Of appearances, and has no eye for
beauty. A few words Of explanation
here.
1.-THE two stores near the station are
kept by polygamists. Let us pass down
the street to the east. The first house, a
cheerless- looking adobe, Is the house Of a
woman who was formerly Ne. , to far
mer In town. Becoming enamored with
another man. she secured a divorce that
she might join her affinity. Meantime,
however, the latter gave her the slip and
departed with another woman. SO that for
the present the dropping vine has no oak
on which to cling. Passing the adjoining
adobe dwelling, yet more desolate, where

TuE Posr-oFFICE CHANGE,

Word was received here Friday that
Mr.. +. M. Wood had received the APP
pointment of postmaster, in place OF
Geo. G. Smith, resigned. That the Of
flee would be changed was matter of
general expectancy, in fact it was I'M
reasonable to suppose that our Demo-
cratic friends would permit an office of
the importance of this one to remain
IN "oflensive" hands.
1t seems that some six weeks or two
months agoMr. Wood made formal APP
plication for the position, backed by the
unanimous voice of the Democrats of
this town and endorsed by leading
members of the party in this section.
In the first week in August a new
candidate appeared in the person of
Mr.. Henry Goddard. Mr.. Goddard
had the support of his son, Martin
II. Goddard, Esq, of Ludlow, and, as
common report has it, few ring Re-
publicans. The present incumbent, IL
pom learning these facts, OH tho Sth OF
August sent in his resignation, and
the result has been as above stated.
Mr.. Smith has held the place for six
teen years, and has made an excellent
postmaster, prompt and efficient in ev
cry sense, and giving as general salts
faction as possible for any man to do
and we but voice the common sentiment
in saying that his retirement is Il matter
of regret. Again, his prompt rssigna
ton, when learning that his place was
wanted, is highly commendable, as, in
our Judgment, no Republican should
desire or strive to retain an office agains
the wishes of the party in power.
Mr.. +. Nj. Wood, the new appOin
tee, is II comparative stranger, yet Il
no sense carpet-bagger. He came t.
this place, from Massachusetts, abou
three years ago, and at once engaged il
the lumber trade, keeping one or NOR
mills running, in this vicinity, the
while, besides supplying work for ou'
village shops. In this way he has pal
out agood deal of money and furnished
a large quantity of freight for teams
ters and the railroad, which has, o
course, been a substantial benefit
this community. While he is soil
Democrat, he is liberal and not Offer
sive in advocating his beliefs. His et
ucation and business habits fit him TO
the position, and we have no doubt, bl
under his administration, the ofti(
will be conducted, as heretofore, upo
business and accommodating principle
The office will not be immediatel
removed. but when it is it will be pl,
ced in quarters that will afford the pu
. lie ample opportunity for the transa'
, ton of its Enthusiastically opposite ii
5 present location.
