 The special election last week for alderman passed off quietly, l.. R. Grobmyer receiving 88 votes and J. W. Williams 60, majority of 2S for Mir Grobinyer. We are sure the latter gentleman will make an efficient alder man, and we congratulate both him and the city. We sympathize with our friend Williams (we've been there'o, and wish him better luck next time. This thing of an involuntary explora- tion of upper Salt river is no joke.
 With their usual enterprise, A. Fried man & Co. change their advertisement this week in order to keep our people posted as to where they may get the best bargains in clothing, gents fur nishing goods, hats, boots, shoes, hose, neckwear, etc., and everything in the dry goods line, together with ladies dress and white goods in all varieties, ribbons, laces. footwear, etc. You are invited to call round and examine his stock, whether you purchase anything or not.
 We sympathize with our friend r. Littell in hls sad afiictions. His wife is very low-reported to be dying last night-and he is almost blind. Some time ago while returning from Little
 Rock MT. Littell got cinder i'll one of his eyes and inflammation set in, both eyes becoming affected until he has almost lost his sight entirely. Kind neighbors are rendering all the assist ance possible, but the hand of afiilcllon
 has fallen heavily upon this unfortu- l nate family.
 The Southern Express company
 closed it's office in this place Saturday night of last week, leaving the Pacific with a clear field. J. G. Boyle, who

Boyle, who was agent for the Southern, and the new appointee entered upon the discharge of his duties Monday morn ing. Both are lirst-class expressmen, and the public and the company may rest assured of faithful service finder either.
