Hyde was its editor and publisher, al
though he announces the sale of the
same to Jacob Dawson, Esq, a Gentle.
The Iowa Sentinel and the Guardian
were consolidated and Dawson took
charge of both.
The paper is quite interesting in
many ways. Eli B. Kelsey announces
that at his home in Gainesville. near
Kanesville, he has a large number OF
cuttings of the grape and also some
red, white and black cUrrants. The
cuttings were sent from England for
the Saints who were going to the far
west and all those who intend emf
grating are advised to take a lot with
them.
William Westwood of st. Louis an
nounces in an advertisement that he

also horse nails, OK nails and wagon
covers and refers to John T. Game, zoe
Market street, for any information as
to his character. business standing and
ability.

nails of various sizes, from window
blind brands to 12-pennies; not a pound
to be had in this city that we know of.
Five hundred envelopes wanted at
our office for posting official documents.
If there are any in the city, we wish
our friends would inform us where.
CONSOLATION.-For the Consola-
ton of those who are living out of
doors for want of nails to build houses,
we would observe that a company has
recently gone into Iron county for the
purpose of erecting a furnace; and II
they are successful, as we confidently
expect they will be, not many years,
no, months, will pass before they will
have iron in our market; then, If a
machine can be procured, we can make
our own nails, with which to build our
houses. But d pound of nails is so
much heavier than a pound of feathers,
silks, broadcloth. that no one can az
ford to transport them for less than 80
per cent additional cost upon carriage,
and impossible to be had at that ex-
ira. Therefore those who may be I'M
migrating TO this place within a year
or two, had better bring nails, if they
want a ready sale for their goods; and
as to envelopes, we understand pa
per mill has commenced, or is about
commencing to build on Cottonwood
and those brethren in the vicinity of
the mill will do well TO put in their
labor tithing and help build said mill
as fast as possible, so that we can have
envelopes of cur own, home, domestic
manufacture. But what shall we do
for rags? Let all of the people of Des-
eret save their rags, every one of their
rags, and pretty soon they VIII be bet
ter than gold, for they will buy nails
and envelopes, but gold will buy
neither at present
The above is an extract from the
Deseret News and shows just how con-
ditions were at that time in respect to
the supplies mentioned.
WOULD DRIVE SHEEP.
Eli b. Kelsey advertises that he will
drive 1000 or even LOO sheep to the
valley of the Great Salt Lake in the
following manner:
To All Who Want Their Sheep Herded
and Driven to the Valley:
Having secured the services of Eu-
glish shepherds, of great experience,
who are we'll supplied with thoroughly
trained shepherd dogs, L am prepared
to contract for the herding and driving
oe 900 or 1,200 sheep to the valley of
the Great Salt Lake this season; and
flatter myself that, with the above ia
ciiities. I shall be able to give entire
satisfaction to all who will entrust their
sheen to my care. My terms for driV-
ing are: The one-half of the number
delivered in the valley. I expect TO be
ready to start by the Goth of May, and
Will receive fiocks of sheep, and receipt
for them any time between the first day
of May and the time of starting. Shear
ing should be done at as late a period
previous TO the time of starting as pos
sible: or else the needle" growing upon
the sandy plains viii adhere to the
wool and seriously injure, if not destroy
the sheen. For those whose early de-
parture shall prevent them from shear
ing their own flocks, 1 viii wash, shear
and dispose of the wool for the one-haf
and viii pay the proceeds OF their snare
to their order here or in the valley, as
they may wish. If l should be from
home when fiocks are brought for de-
livery Elder Duncan Campbell will act
as my agent in receiving and receipt
ing for them. Each flock must be
marked regularly with some substance
that viii not rub off.

Great Salt Lake City, Nov. %. 1851.
Dear 3rother-A line from Brother
S. W. Richards informs US of your
loss of mules on your return. 1t seems

pointed to locate the seat of govern
ment for this territory. We found a
beautiful site on a creek. heretofore ,
known as Chalk creek. the Indian
name of which is Nuquin. You will
learn the particulars of the trip, as we'll
