\ good friend OF mine dropped into one
of the alleged sanctuaries OF the SAINTS OF
the Latter-days on Sunday, when and
whore he received impressions, the gst
of which will condense to the inmost
and utmost condensation, for the benefit
OF those OF your readers who are not yet
fully acquainted with the style and Ian
guage OF the average Mormon haranguer.
4 good earthquake or the flowing OF
the sea DER its bounds is as good Sun
day item for Mormon preacher rs
sensational murder is to hungry news
paper man. When the Saints lived in
Nauvoo, the ever damnable breeding den
OF iniquity and infamy, a revelation was
given stating that 'the waters were
cursed through my servant john"
See Doe. and Cow After that every
explosion or other casualty on the rivers
was heralded as another sign OF the com
ing Of the Savior. Though the waters
have remained under the curse
ever since there has been IL blessed great
commerce carried over the great rivers,
and no more accidents have occurred
than even "my servant John" could have
expected While poor, innocent Charles
ton is stricken, the detiled and ac-
cursed Nauvoo is still the blossoming
vineyard OF the Mississippi and while
guitless West Virginia suffered that ter
rble drouth, the "bloody State" OF Mis-
souri, was green and blooming, Verify,
the judgments descend on the innocent
and spare the guilty,
OF such is the blssiulness OF Mormon
theology, "Allah is great and Moham-
med is his prophet"
OGDEN, Utah, Nov. |, 1856.
On Saturday, before United States
Commissioner ii. c. Wardleigh, one Jas.
McDermott was bound over i'll the sum
OF 81 200, on charge OF obtaining money
under false pretenses. He had been liv-
ing in Ogden for about two years on the
proceeds OF Il compromise with the L. +.
Company, who paid him $4,S20 to pre-
vent Il suit for damage sustained by him
on service, Lately he made ont that he
had an interest in, or control OF, the val
liable corner lot on Fifth and Wall
streets, belonging to the Jennings estate.
On the strength OF this assertion he OBJ
tanned money from several parties. The
one most ViCtimized was James llOrOcks,
one OF the Oldest settlers OF Ogden, who
was beguiled into endorsing n check OF
500 on Beckwith IL Quinn, Evanston.
The check, however, was dishOnOred, as
"Mac" had no credit or collateral there,
and Mr.. IIonocks, OF course, fell liable to
the amount. Mr.. HOrrocks, after several
interviews with "Mac," saw no other
way than to swear out Il warrant against
the deCeiyer, and, on Saturday, Deputy
Steele arrested the guilty man, who was
then produced in court, us above stated,
and bound over. Deputy Marshal Exum
took him down to your city, where he
now fingers in limbo.
On Monday afternoon the funeral ser
vices OF Alexander Patterson, the father
OF Adam Patterson, and father-in-law OF
Patsey llealey, took place, The old gen
tleman expired on Sunday, aged between
go and 10 years. He was straight,
staunch old gentleman. The funeral was
honorcd by large attendance from
Riyerdae, whore he breathed his last
Thus, one by one, our old-timers pass
away, leaving the ground to their
youthful survivors, X. |. =.
