Hollit. Brioham Citt, July 18, 1873. Editor Oqden Jokction: Yesterday afternoon as the family ef Mr. James Hanson were temporarily absent from the house, some fellow went coolly to and opened a window, went through it and ptole a valuable watch, ith which he walked off. As it was but children who saw him, who could not conceive the meaning of such a manoeuvre, nobody came on his track in time enough to capture him.

Detectives, however are on the look-out for this mysterious stronger, who would have received a blue pill aa a proper medicine if caught in the act. We need now to have our premises well secured, and keep an eye upon a certain class of individuals that are becoming quite plentiful in many parts of our once quiet country. A. C. Following the Indians.

By Dearet Telegraph, Paris, July 9th, 1873. Parties have returned from following the Indians who stole the surveyors animals. They sighted the Indians, and run them so close that four mules and one horse were dropped, but the Indians made their escape with tvro of the best horses. Taluabl ellcrse Killed. Thursday evening Mr.

Bcckstead, of West Jordan, having occasion to visit East Temple street, drove his team, a valuable span of horses, into the City Hall lot, unhitched them and tied them to the wagon, The gentleman was absent about twenty minutes, when returning he found of the horses poised on a stake of the wagon, which had entered the bowels the full length, about eighteen inches, its belly resting on the bolster. Mr. Beckstead accounts for the singu lar action of the horse from the fact that the animal had been eating "crazy grass, a kind of grass which grows quite extensively in some portions of the Territory, and which, when eaten by horses, causes them to act in a singular ly wild and crazy manner. It was evi dently a case of hari kan, commuted while the deceased was laboring under emotional insanity. S.

L. Herald, 19c itut. Shall we Meet Again? The fiat of nature is inexorable. There is no appeal for relief from the great law which dooms us to dust. We flourish and fade as the leaves of the forest, and the flowers that bloom and wither in a day have no frailer hold upon life than the mightiest monarch that ever shook the earth with his foot-Steps.

Generations of men will appear and disappear as the grass, and the multitude that throng the world to-day will disappear as the foetsteps on the shore. Men seldom tnink of the great event of death until the shadow falls across their pathway, biding from their eyes the faces of loved ones whose living smile was the sunlight or their existence Death is the antagonist of life, and the cold theught of the tomb is the skeleton of all feasts. We do not want to go through the dark valley, although the dark "passage may lead to paradise; we do no want to lay down in the damp grave, even with princes for bed-fellows. In the beautiful drama of Ion, the hope of immortality, eloquently uttered by the death-devoted Greek, finds deep response in every thoughtful 'soul. When about to yield his young existence ea sacrifice to fate his Clemanlha asks if they should meet again, to which he re plies; "I have asked that dreadfuleques- tion of the hills that look eternal, of the clear streams that flow forever of the stars in whose fields of azure my raised spirits have walked in glory.

All were dumb; but upon thy living face I fee there is something in the love that man tles through its beauty that cannot wholly perish. We shall meet again Clemantha." George D. Prentice. A Curious Crime. A distressing tragedy is reported from Umbria, Italy, near Gualdo lachino.

young married couple were one day engaged in field-work, while their child an infant at the breast, lay some distance from them on the ground. Suddenly shriek was heard, which caused the man to run and see what had befallen the little one. A terrible sight met his eyes. One of the snakes common in Centra Italy, attraoted, no doubt, by the miiky odor in the baby's breath, was attempt ing to creep down its throat. In his despair, the frightened father grasped the reptile by the tail, which was protruding, but in the endeavor to pul the snake out the tail broke, and the child In his excitement, the man seized a shovel and struck his wife ba the head (who remained at work, en tirely unconscious ot what was going on such a violent blow that the fell From Friday's Daily ef July 18fA Is formation.

D. M. Stuart met with a painful accident. While moving the city pump from its established place near the Tabernacle to the hole for a water tank," near Z.C.M.I., one of the men handling it let the pump slip and it fell on Mr. Stuart's foot, cut ting his boot and sock and smashing his big toe.

The wound is very painful, but not dangerous. Mr. Stuart will not be able to dance on the Twenty-fourth, un less his toe heals up quicker than is usual in such cases. Battalion Partt. On the 16th Un Thomas Richardson, of Slaterville, arranged a very nice little celebration of the organization of the Mormon Bat talion, Messrs.

Slater, of Slaterville, and Skeen, of Plain City, "Battalion boys," were present, the children were treated to a dance and pic-nic in Wil Ham Chadwick's Grove, and the whole affair passed off with peace, good will aad credit to all parties concerned. Excursions on the 24th. Mr. Henry Hampton, of Bountiful, is in town to day. Ee comes for the purpose of mak ing arrangements for an excursion party on the Twenty-fourth.

Six car-loads of Bountiful children and their parents and guardians, will help to swell the crowd of pleasure-seekers at the Grove on the Pioneers' Anniversary.

B. Allen, of Indianapolis, Su perintendent of one the largest infirm aries in the arrived from San Francisco this morning for the East. cuse my seeming delay in writing to you. My only apology is that 1 have been traveling almost daily since I left home, besides, I had a great deal of utter writing to do, that, had to be done. I had a very pleasant time in visiting my relatives in the United States, also a pleasant voyage across the Atlantic only eleven days, and no sea-sickness, that is, with me many of the passengers were sick most of the way.

1 arrived in Liverpool on the 8th in excellent health, for me; found Prest. Carrington and the brethren in the office all in good health and spirits. I soon learned that I was to go to and succeed Bro. J. B.

Fairbanks in the presidency of the London Conference. After remaining in Liverpool two days, I took train for Durham and Newcastle Conference, where Bro. Robert McQuarrie is presiding. I found him in health, and the spirit of the Gospel and his mission resting upon him. I remain ed four or five days with him, visiting the Saints.

I had the privilege of addressing the Saints three times in that Conference. Leaving Jarrow, I con tinued ray journey on to Nottingham. where I iouud Bro. John I. Hart and John Mendenhall from Springville, Utah County, both in the very best of health and spirits.

As you already know, Bro. Hart is presiding in the Nottingham Conference, and I fear we will not be able to get him off this year; still, he may possibly return by the last ship, which will sail early in beptember. After stopping one week with Bro. Hart, visiting and speaking to the Saints in Nottingham and Liecester, I left the last named place for London, where I arrived on the evening of the 23d in good health, and found Elder J. B.

Fairbanks in like good health and en joying the spirit of his priesthood and mission. Since my arrival we have been round sight-seeing, a little, but then you know more of London than 1 can tell you. The day after my arrival we went to Wind sor Castle and witnessed a grand pro cession and review in Windsor Park. Her Majesty the Queen and Royal family were out in an open carriage, also the Shah ef Persia, among other distinguished personages both from this and foreign countries. I could but admire the great parado made over the great polygamist of the East.

It only proves to me that Polygamy is only a hobby with them, in our case. Well, dear brother, I hope all thbgs are moving along to your entire satisfac tion at home. 1 often think of you and your labors, and the many good times have bad in sitting under your voice, and in laboring under you in Weber Stake. I trust we may have the privi lege of continuing our labors in Weber Ward, in the future, as pleasantly as in the past. I want to take this opportu nity of thanking you for all your kind ness to me in the past, and sincerely hope that I may so live as to merit your confidence and esteom.

Remember me kindly to my quorum the Priesthood meeting, your family, S. and family, and all inquiring friends, not forgetting my own family, Bros Thomson, Stuart, Farr and Parry, and believe me as ever, yours in the bonds of love and peace in the Gospel. L.J. Herrice. Slaterville, Weber U.
