A good many of the returning law

that the session is to be a short, busi-

fore their vision as when they have be-

the first important steps taken by
the Pioneers was to provide for the
intellectual advancement OF the
people. This they undertook to do
in their Legislative assembly OF the
provisional government by passing
an act incorporating the University
OF the State of Deseret February rs,
1880, which was afterwards ratified
by the legislative assembly Of the
Territory OF Utah on the 4th OF
October, 1851 Owing, however,
to the conditions which naturally
surrounded the early settlement of
the distant, isolated place beyond
the boatders Of civilization, the Uni
versity was held in obeyancc and
had but a nominal existence for a
long time. Little educational work
was done in its name until 1867

FIRE ON BRACKET ST.
An Old Lady, Mrs. Abbie Phillips, Serious
ly Burned.

The alarm from box 81 at II O'Clock
yesterday morning called the department.
to No. 30 Brackett street, the residence
of Mr.. George II. Skillings, car
checker on the Maine Central. 1t seems
that Mrs. Abbie Phillips, an elderly lady,
was left at home with a young grand
son and was getting lunch ready for the
family. In some way she tipped the oil
stove in which she was cooking and the
flames communicated to her clothing.
The grandson, young lad, with great
presence Of mind, seized a big mat and
wrapped it about his grandmother, ex-
tinguishing the flames, but not before
she was quite badly burned. Drs. Brock
and Hutchinson attended Mrs. Phillips
and dressed her wounds. They feared
as much from the nervous shockssssto a
person of her age as from the burns. The
damage to the house was trivial, and
the s'all OUT was sounded almost as soon
as the alarm stopped.
At late hour last night Mrs. Phillips
was still unconscious, remaining in a
sort of stupor, and it was doubtful if she
survived long.

The members of Pine Tree Division,
No. &c, o. R. c., with their families and
friends, to the number of 200 took the
boat yesterday from Custom house wharf
for an outing. After a pleasant sail on
the bay the party landed at Long island
and proceeded to the Granite Spring
hotel, where a clam bake was being pre-
pared for them.
The Military band of 80 pieces, from
Boston, entertained the party while they
watched the bake cooking. At 2 O'Clock
the bake was opened and the hungry
knights of the punch marched in to one
of the finest shore dinners that Sawyer
& Palmer are noted for, and the manner
in which the CLAIMS, Holsters and other
good things disappeared, left no doubt
as to their appreciation of them. There
was a sacred concert during the entire
afternoon and the band won many words
of praise

Held Up on a Fish Hook.

Master Niles Nelson, son of Mr.. Niles
Nelson, of Sawyer street, South Portland,
met with very bad and painful accident
a little before dark Friday evening. He,
with number of other boys, were at
play in the large shed on the Lewis,
Chase & Written property at the break
water. A rope was hanging from one
Of the large beams overhead and all of
the boys had tried jumping and catching
at the rope and all thus far had failed.
When it was young Niles's turn he made
a jump and caught the rope and the fish
hook at the same time, and was held
there until he was released from his
agonizing position by some Of the other
boys, who found it necessary to break
the hook off in order to do SO. The
hook was large, old-fashioned one and
curved outward. 1t was also very rusty
and went through the index finger of
his left hand, tearing the flesh and cords
in a terrible manner The bone also
penetrated for a little way by the hook,
but DR.. Lowell, the attending physician,
anticipated nothing serious.

Speaker Reed and Senator Frye Have In
teresting Articles in the Illustrated Anne
rican.

The Illustrated ! American for July g.,
begins series Of articles by prominent
members of Congress, which cannot fail
to prove of great. interest and value.
Speaker Reed is to contribute an article
every fortnight for year, and other
members will contribute from time to
time. In the first July number, 1.-THE
magazine is issued every two weeks) Mr..
Reed and Senator Frye contribute the
leading articles. Mr.. Frye advocating the
annexation of Hawaii, and Mr.. Reed
writing in an entertaining somewhat
humorous vein of the puzzling question
Of procedure in social life at the Capital.
The department devoted to articles by
members of Congress is.-called The Open
Congress, and is the original idea of Mr..
Francis Bellamy, the editor of the Ameri-
can. 1t will undoubtedly prove not only
an interesting feature, but of great value
both to Congress and the reading public,
as it will enable the latter to understand
and appreciate the former.
