SALIVA, May 8, 1S96.-Late frosts
have killed all the early blossoms such
as plums, apricots and peaches. APP
pie trees are now in bloom and there
is prospects of a good crop of that
kind of fruit.
The weather continues cold and very
little gardening has been done on that
account.
Judge Johnson came from Richfield
this morning where he has been hold
ing court in Judge McCarty's place,
the latter being in Provo, holding
court Yesterday Judge Johnson
sentenced John Dastrup of this place
to one year in the penitentiary on con-
viction of assault with the intent to
commit a rape on the fourteen year

record having been good the penalty
was made as light as possible. Our

with tramps lately They seem to be
drawn hither by the extension of the
railroad. From reports the railroad

have her new frame house and all her
household furniture burned UP one day
last week. Her loss was estimated at
about $500. Insurance, 1000.

a rich field wherein the seeds of his
ability may soon sprout and grow and
bring profitable and quick returns.

Experienmce with a Bear.

A sheep herder related to us the other
day a slight acquaintance he made
with a bear while herding sheep up a
branch OF Spanish Fork canyon short
time ago, which runs about as follows:
1t was on Sunday morning and as
everything was still and quiet L concluded
TO take a stroll up the canyon and break
the monotony of camp life by perusing
the contents of book.
The place selected was above a ledge
of rock which faced a level patch of
thick underbrush down in the canyon.
trail leading up around the ledge of
rock, evidently made by wild animals.
Just as I commenced to get interested
in the book the dogs which had followed
me began to prick up their ears and
show signs of alarm. Anxious to discover
the cause of their uneaSiness, l got up
and walked down to the ledge of rock
intending to look over, but just as /
reached the ledge / was met by huge
black bear coming up the trail. We were
only about five feet apart when we dis
covered each other, and both come TO a
sudden stop. The meeting was very I'M
expected to me and evidently to bruin
also, for we both stood spell-bound and
all the dogs, but one having run off
toward the camp. While contemplating
whether to throw the book and run, the
dog which had the courage to stay made
for bruin and he turned and fed down
through the underbruSh followed by the
barking canine. That was the last / saw
of Mr.. Bear, and | must admit that
was very much pleased with the way
our acquaintance ended.-Payson Globe

CHARLEY KENT.

As announced yesterday in a special
to The Herald from this city, Charles
Kent accepted an offer to travel and
sing with Primrose and Vests min
strel troupe, and left with that organ
ization at 2:30 yesterday morning. 1t
is understood that he sang a selec-
ton or two for the powers that pass
judgment on the abilities of applicants
for such positions and they wanted
him. He came high, but they had to
have him; 50 he is gone. Maybe Ogden
people will appreciate him now chat
they cannot hear him oftener than
once a year. and even then have to
put up the price of admission to
first-class show Kent has magnlfl-
cent voice. Kent knew 1T himself, and
about everyone else in Ogden ought 10
know it for he was never Stingy with
his voice. He has sung at church so
CABLES lodge paroles, serenades, Wed
dings, christenings and funerals. he
has sung almost everything from
campaign doggerel to 20, MysFather,
and if the writer of this knew enough
about the technique of music to ex-
press more surely that he has sung the
whole gamut of musical compositions
he would do So, And everyone from the
veriest ragamuffin to the cultured and
critical judges in the Eisteddfod con-
test wanted to hear Kent again ana
again The Herald hopes he will quick
ly win fortune and fame, and then
come back and settle down in ogden
and sing again for love, so that ne
may be heard nearly every week day
and twice on Sunday.

BALLAST FOR DUCKS.
A Scientific Discovery That Eiuci-

Few people credit duck with the
sense he really possesses" said Fred
Ozenne, a disciple of Nimrod. For years
| had been wondering what had caused
the presence of a good sized people pdnh
on the shore of the lake IN the Granoi,

stood it. but it was composed OF pebbles,
ali very much alike, rounded ana sInoolh
almost to a size, and apparently dlHerlns
from the small stones round IN the graV-
ell beds of the south. Several of the nun
tiers in that section had seen the pebble
beach, and, like myself, they couId not
understand it. All winter long 1t seemed
fresher than at other times, and during
the summer the grass would kinder cover

near the edge. There was not another
beach like it in the marsh.
lone winter, in fact it was just when
the first cod spell had struck US, L was
hunting with friend in the lake spoke
of. 1t was one of the finest ducklng
spots in the state. This was before they
had begun to make glue from the eggs IN
there was duck to be seen. The
next morning 1 was hiding in the grass
near the pebble beach when l heard a
sound of wings and large flock OF NAL
lard settled near me. Before couid raise
ny gun the entire lot walked out on the
pebble bank and, to my establishment,
began to disgorge a lot of small stones
like the ones already there. This occupied
but a short time and the flock began
quacking and sailed into the lake and
shot several. This settled the mystery
of the pebble beach. In the spring l was
again hunting on the lake, and when the
first warm weather came the ducks began
to go home. They would come to the
beach and after a few preliminaries swal-
low a lot of the pebbles, then fly around
for few minutes in order to see if their
balance was all right. If they were too
heavy they would disgorge few stones,
or if too light swallow half dozen
more.
Il found by observation that in order
for the ducks TO make long flights it was
necessary for them to fill up with a GER
tain number of stones to secure a proper
equilibrium for the return trip. AfMr |
