PENMAN GOES TO THE PEN.
a Bountiful saint Whose Celestial
FOOlishness Gets Him
Two Years.

The last case which His Honor Judge
Zane disposed of yesterday afternoon
was that OF John Penman, OF Bountiful,
indicted for polygamy. This trial was in
striking contrast to the several others
preceding, it and brought out good deal
OF modest lying Several OF the witnesses
crossed and re-crossed themselves in their
ridiculous attempts to evade the truth,
and made the very general impression
that the guilty defendant would have
done them, himself and the Court a
most desirable service had he followed
the honorable example of Messrs. Wiley,
Morris, Birmingham and others by max
ing clean breast OF it. As it was, the
witnesses who furnished the evidence
made asses OF themselves and strength
ened the case against the defendant by
their unrighteous conduct. A number OF
witnesses were examined, and the prose-
cution established very clearly that PEN
man, on September list, 1854, married
Mary E. Hodgson, while his first wife,
Isabel Hutchinson Penman, was still liv-
ing. The case was given to the jury
without argument on either side, and
verdict of guilty was returned after few
minutes deliberation. lie Grande Young
represented to the Court that the defend
ant was poor man with q large family,
and the trouble and expense incurred by
the Court might have been made much
less had the counsel earlier understood
the case.
Penman declined to make any state
ment regarding his future conduct, and
in response to his request for immediate
sentence Judge Zane fixed the penalty at
two years in the penitentiary and fine
of S25 and all costs OF the prosecution.

Commissioner OF Pensions Black, APP
peared before the House Pensions Com
mittee yesterday, and advocated the pas
sage OF a bill extending the time for filing
claims for arrears OF pensions. Represen-
tative Loutitt told the Commissioners that
there were many pensioners in Califor-
mia unable to secure adjudication OF their
claims because there is no special exam
liner OF the department there to inquire
into the merits OF their respective cases.
General Black promised that within two
months time one OF the best examiners
in the pension service should be detailed
for duty on the Pacific Coast.

tons for the occasion were of much beauty
and profuseness. A large bank of ferns ar
ranged around q center of gay red peonies
rested in front of the pulpit, while from the
top of the latter pretty crescent and q star
Of buttercups were suspended. Among the
other floral pieces noticed were cross of
lemon lilies, harp of fower-de-luce resting on
che chancel rail which was draped in ferns,
basket of ox-eyed daisies and ferns, large
cross of "snowballs," cross of daisies and
ferns. The memorial tablet of Rev. BeDja-
min Tappan was embowered in English hsw-
thorn. The pastor preached an appropriate
sermon from Matthew 81 g. In the evening
there was successful Sabbath School
concert in the vestry, to which the
floral adornments of the church had been
transferred. "Consider the Lilies" sung by
Mrs. Milliken, and "Song Of the Roses" by

to have the celebration the people of the
County and the State are expecting, unless
we can have Sl700 The responses from
steamers, hand engines, and hose companies

large one. This has increased the expense,
but the good name of the city requires that we
receive visiting companies royalty and treat
them generously. A balloon ascension is
generally demanded. This feature will be
popular, but expensive. We cannot omit it.
Other features, such as fantasies, sports,
races, expenses of procession, COLLATION. & c.. j.,
all must be provided for. To provide even
q small display of fireworks, we find that
with the closest economy the total of our ap-
preparations will exceed Sl7OO.
