Buried a Dog and Round a
Fortune.

The Manti Sentinel publishes
the following, which Is authen-
ticated by a well known resi-
dent Of the capital Of Sanpete, who
arrived 10 this city today;
Mr.. Foster r. Kenner OF this place
has owned for eighteen years a
small dog, aud had become very
much attached to it on account of its
fsahfulness. Mr.. Kenner has
been heard to say on many occa-
sions. that when the little fellow
died he should have decentburial;
at least something better than dogs
usually get in that way.
Last week Mr.. X. bought a load
Of hay, and when the teamster
stopped his team 70 open a gate lead
ing into Mr.. k.'s premises, the little
dog went under the wagon. and
beingoccupied with his observations,
did not notice the starting Of the
team, and the unfeeiing wagon ran
over and killed him outright. Mt,
X. was very much mortified and
grieved over the sad accident and
Immediately set TO work to carry
out his charitable designs in regard
to the dogs burial.
And now comes in the exciting
part Of the tragedy. Mr.. X. pro-
cured a suitable box, and placing
his little favorite therein, he got his
buggy, and taking pick and shovel
with the box, he drove to the foot
hills east Of town, intending to bury
his little companion under some
Spreading cedar tree. When he
had driven as far as he could he left
his horse and buggy and taking his
pick and shovel, went in search of
proper place for the interment of
the dog. He saw a short distance IN
the mountain a large cedar tree;
this, he thought, would answer his
purpose, and on approaching it, he
discovered a fiat piece Of ground
under the bOughs Of the tree which
answered his purpose exactly.
He at once commenced to dig, and
after sinking the grave about
eighteen inches his pick struck
what he thought was a rock, but on
clearing the dirt from around the
obstruction, he discovered, much to
his surprise, what proved to be, on
close examination, a copper camp
kettle, which he caref ully removed !
frofn its bed, and on taking off the |
covering, which appeared to be a
pile Of blankets, he saw, to use his |
own expression, something that
caused his heart to jump into his
throat. There was the kettle almost
full of Mexican dOubloons. He had
a fortune. He was too l
faint to count his money just then,
hut after resting a short time he
began the labor of reckon
ing. At the conclusion he
found that he had one thousand
two hundred doubloons; and esti-
mating a dOubloOn to be worth
seventeen dollars. he calculated
that he was worth in gold SO, 400.
de says his little dog has been
faithful to him even in death and
he intends to erect over his little
grave a fine marble monument with
his inscription: "a - 1
Sacred 10 the memory Of Eido,
The mosi faithful OF his kind.

This morning we had the pleasure
Of meeting Bishop William T. Reid
Of AIanti. We learn from him that
farmers are busy in SanPete, the in.
teution being TO sow an unusually
extensive acreage in cereals this
season. The excellent prospects for
water gives hope Of plenteous har-
vest Sanpete grangers have had
a struggle to keep their cattle alive
during the winter. Besides shipping
hay from Sewer Valley, everything
that stock could eat has disappeared,
old straw being conspicuous by its
absence. Some Of the cattle are. a.

d0wy, reminding one Of the spare

This morning we had the pleasure
Of meeting Elder J. w. Cook, Of
Garden city, Rich County, who re-
turned with the last company Of i'm
migrants from the Southern States.
Brother Cook len on his mission
February Z, 1855, and was assigned
TO the East Tennessee Conference.
For the succeeding ten months he
labored in Carter and johnson coun-
ties. He was then transferred TO
Mitchell and Ash counties, where
he remained till he was released.
There was a feeling OF Indifference
on the subject Of religion, but the
people were kind and hospitable, and
many were induced TO listen to the
Elders testimony. Brother Cooks
health was good during the time he
was in the missionary field.

Notes From EVANSVILLE

The people here are busiIy en-
gagged planting their crops and the
land is now in fine condition to re,
ceive the seed. Judging from the
appearance of the mountains there
will be plenty Of water. We have
suffered very much from drouth
during the past two years, and
those Of our townsfolk who are en-.
gagged in the stock and sheep busi-
ness have suffered hesvy losses. As
the spring opens, however, the
prospect brightens for the various
industries in our midst.
The great Whirlpool OF speculation
has not reaqksd US yet. We DO not
have "the 3 < 10 rOds'' discussed at
our street corners. The only topic
OF importance among US now is the
water question. The water owners
have organized themselves into irri-
eating companies, whereby they
can mOne eiIectually improve the
water courses leading TO our town,
and better regulate the water on the
farms.
Last night and today we have
been visited by Presidents 5. b.
Young and B. II. Roberts, who held
a Seventies Conference here today.
President Roberts occupied the time
at the forenoon meeting, his subject
being the Priesthood. 1t was
hsDdied in a mastery manner.
This afternoon President s. b.
Young occupied the stand. his re-
marks being chiefly devoted TO the
Prosecutions through which the
Saints have passed. Many woSis
OF encouragement were given 10 the
Saints.
Last night a meeting was held, ut
which Elder Roberts spoke mostly
to the Seventies. He gave them
some useful instruction.
