9Th ofSeptember, 1857, body Of
white men, bearing flag of truce,
was seen to approach. The flag
was borne by John d. Lee. The
immigrants naturally thought that
aid had arrived. They were told
that the "hostile Indians" were not
favorable to any white man except
ing Mormons and that they had
better return to Salt Lake, but 1t
would be policy to appease the In
dams by giving to them their guns.
Some of the immigrants were dis
trustful, and all were loathe to sur
render their only means OF defense.
But, being promised protection by
the Morinons, they yielded.
The immigrants were formed in
line, the men in front, women
next, and the children in the rear.
An armed Mormon marched by the
side of each as they filed out Of the
hollow square. At a short dis
tahce from the edge OF the meadow
u squad of armed Mormons were
concealed. Here the line of immi.
grants was stopped, and at signal

or child. With his dubbed mus.

shot to death. Simultaneously, the
concealed assassins came upon the
scene and joined in the slaughter.
This feast of demons lasted about
an hour, during which outrages
more horrible than death werc
committed upon women and young
girls, after which they were mur-
dered by the fiends.

They were identified in after years
by southern relatives, and this
Identification strengthened the cir

The bodies Of the immigrants
were stripped of their clothing and

GIVING A LEMON LUNCHEON.

Souvenirs Clever1y Hidden Where
the Center of the Fruit Has Been
Among the various fashionable lunch
cons is the lemon spread. This is
an extremely appetizing affair, and
more than one clever hostess has of
late extended this form of hospitality
to her friends. A lemon luncheon OF
recent date in Philadelphia is described
by the Inquirer as having enlisted tht
admiration of every guest. All the
decorations carried out lemon tints
and the dishes, besides being all rs
nearly as possible lemon hued, We're
garnished with thin slices Of the fruit.
A natural lemon tree graced the cell
ter Of the table, and the corners IF
the lemon satin cloth We're caught up
by one or two handsome specimens.
At intervals during the meal grass
bowls in the form Of lemons were
passed around with their lemon scent
ed water for the fingers. Beside each
plate there rested upon a bank Of
green what looked to be fresh whole
lemon. This proved to be tie real

gold lace pin with a lemon head,
and for the gentlemen a scarf pin.
The fruit snuggery for the souvenirs
was so cleverly arranged that although
the lemons were cut in halves. they
were laid together and tied where the
halves met with yellow satin ribbon,
thus Disgusting the break, SO that each
guest when untying the ribbon was
greatly surprised to find the lemon
drop apart disclosing it's dainty COZ
tents.

MEETING OF LITCHFIELD NORTH WEST
 CONFERENCE.
 The notable thing the past week was the meeting of the Litchfield North West conference at Norfolk, Warren be- ing one of the 12 churches of which it is composed. Norfolk is one of the typical villages of New England, for picturesque scenery and for being a famous summer resort for people desir- ing high ground and fascinating land- scape. It is situated on the Philadelphia & Reading railroad, is prosperous, at tractive and booming. Our conference met there. Rev John DePeu was at the station to meet and greet with well come, the east bound train. Rev Dr Hiram Eddy of Canaan, the venerable patriarch of the churches. was called to the chair and presided with great grace, and at times with overfowing humor. Rev E. c. Starr of Cornwall opened the question, ssWhat is the aim of the Sun day school and are we fulfilling it p He made some pointed criticism as to the use and understanding of the Bible, afford ing abundant ground for rejoinder on the part of the body, if it's members saw fit, some of whom of course did, not ably Rev J. c.
