PAHRASAcAr VALLEY, Sent. Is, 1859

Mr.. Eilter: This is gettirg to be an
unfortunate valley. Every bod's been
shook up during the last two Yeas.
Dad has the shakes and ague now, VII,
he says he wouldn't mind 80 much II .
could make use Of the shakes tor a lev
r''of to his house aud tran f. r the que t..
the foreign element round the c, untry,
80 that they Wouldn't be so badly stuck
after the land they've got away with.
which ought to have belonged to the old
settlers
Furthermore he wants to reduce the
size of hi, family all he can, as he see's
no sign Of being able to make an, thing
out of the railroad, and the fret man
who comes along that'I give him hun.
dred dollars an acre for all he's got, he'll
through: in the improvements, new
| fences and all.
| The twins are to have a fine outfit
apiece, including bu tiles, so that the,
can catch husbands aud settle dow n, IN,
| tell him he can save on the bustles a.
they re going out of fashion, all exec Ut
the natural ne., which hsint very TO-.
ticeable on the twins at present. VIII. d
we can dispose of them and the ranch,
the rest If US agoing to Salt Lake to see
life and the great temple.
hate to be much m hind the tin e..
but if them Washington Territory p, o.
pie ! amt got a | the women they want.
Why dout they send down to Utah for
few carloads. as there are lot. f norm, n
girls to spare, and though they're gene,.
ally not good looking, they dare'nt kick
or put on airs. You can hitch EN- to q
pl'w if you'll only give em new cal CO
dress onct in while or a diamond pin
from Alaska.
To cIme back to acres reminds me I'm
in the soup myself. I've only got one,
but ITS tirst-class pain producer, and II
l can get good aud uad Tomorrow TN
goirg t" tie string to it aud put BIZ
rock at the other end and see whose 70.
lug to be boss.
What pity is the people down here
couldn't all have there different com.
plants at the same time Of the year 20
that they might hire d,cttr and Civ.
him little cash instead Of eggs and
| other produce, which doctors d, MT take
kindly to. We had fellow here onc,.
but he busted the Lul community, Tor
there wa mt gret nback round for over
twelve months afterwards.
One of our neighbours was down to
Phoebe and saw the ba,. ball game. He
told me the st. George men warn't the
people they said they was, but that they
behaved considerably better than SOM.
Of the Piochers who didn't show the hos.
pitallty or the pcllteness they might have
done under the circumstances. Further.
more that that young Freud.nthal-
your type stick.r-a dandy to rur,
beating the fastest runner we've got
around the country. I've a noti,u Of
tackling HIM myself. l know I can Z. t
away With him, esp. cially if there's some
one behind with shotgun, who don't
feel very good tow ards me for treadlng
on his toe or smiling at his best gul.
Talking If girls reminds me Of Mary.
She's getting kind of hostile and wants
to know ~ether I'm making a walking
stick of her and sa, she haint az ing 10
stand any funny business, that she's got
her share Of the house. keeping traps
ready aud Id better come to time, or
she'll tr ng an action for breach Of prom.
ise against NE. Pl ase tell me what I'D
b, tier do, Mr.. E'iser, as possibly could
help you OUT Of a scrape one OF these
days.
