BRIGHAM CITY BITS.

D. ii. Grant, Esq, Is up from the metro
polls on a business tour; having spent
continued his trip to Logan.
A. E. Snow, Esq, and wife recently re-
turned from six weeks tour, during which
| time they visited New York, Washin gton
and other places Of note.
Things in business circles are beginning
to assume more of busting appearance,
and the opening of the spring trade is
plainly noticeable
c. T. Gibbs, merchant of Portage, is in
town for a few days, making purchases.
He reports the farmers generally are busy
in that neighborhood, blowing and putting
in spring crops.
Richard Morris, Esq, of the firm of Sum
merhays & Co., was in town last Tuesday,
and purchased from the B. E. S. & N.
company their entire stock Of pelts.
We learn the brass band contemplates in
the near future. giving an open air concert;
this will be treat as Bingham has en-
ioyed but little entertainment outside of
dances this winter, owing to the absence
of suitable opera house.
The B. E. S. g. M. company, learning by
their experience some months ago, that an
Investment in a cheap safe is by no means
safe investment, purchased handsome
burglar proof safe from an eastern firm :;
gentlemen of nocturnal fame
The orchard owners of Brigham city,
which includes most Of the people, have re-
garded the early opening of spring with a
great deal of suspicion, and much specula-
ton has been INDUCED in as to the proba-
bility of jack frost's paying US a visit.
Last year his visit cost the entire fruit
crop. The rain at present is doing good
work, but should hard frost follow on its
hrn le hot, 4 l.
The following officers of Brigham city,
having received their certificates of election,
to-day filed bonds and took the oath OF
office: A. Madison, mayor; Geo. L. Graehl,
Jr., recorder; o. N. Stohl, ST., treasurer !;
o. Petersen, assessor and collector; David
Rees, marshal; NJ. L. Ensign and o. Snow,
instices of the peace.
The scarcity of snow during tbs past
winter, together with lengthy duration of
fine, dry weather for the last few months,
caused the grinning eountenance Of the
stockmen to be met by scowl on that Of
the farmer The last week, however,
ushered in the long looked for moisture,
which, giving to the country thorough
drenching, restored the facile equilibrium,
and consequently the general good humor.
We learn with regret that E. H. Pierce,
Esq, one of our leading and most promin-
ent citizens, intends in the immediate
future removing to the metropolis, where
position rendered by the Coop. Wagon and
Machine company awaits him. Mr..
Pierce is genuine old timer, and the fruits
Of untiring zeal and activity in
all his concerns are apparent. His place
of business has been at the Brigham
depot, where he acted as agent for the
Union Pacific company, which he has
served faithfully for many years. His in
Huence, however, has extended to many
things of general concern to Brigham. In
social circles he stands very prominent,
having gained the respect and esteem of a
numerous crowd of friends and associates,
all Of whom will regret being deprived of
his society. The Brigham City Dramatic
and Lyric club, under his able management,
has in the last few years been able to pre-
sent some of the best dramatic renditions
known in its history. AS an indefatigable
worker in the cause Of Improvement, he has
been most valuable aid to the superin-
tendency Of this stake of Zion. In finances
also Mr.. Peirce has figured conspicuously;
besides other investments as a former
shareholder in the firm of b. E. s. & NJ.
Co., he aided materially, both by means and
influence, in establishing it upon its present
firm basis. He has also been the repre-
sentative of The HERALD in this locality
for the past few years, and to his push
and energy, together with the excellent
features and intrinsic value of the paper, is
due its extensive circulation here Mr..
Pierce finds his hands full at present in
shifting the numerous responsibilities
which are incumbent upon him to the
shoulders of others, and in a few days it
will be bye bye to Brigham city. He goes
regretted by his numerous friends and ac-
quaintances, who wish him success in his
new vocation.
