Page carried a Snider nflis, and he fired ttt-ihe girl while she wns in the kitchen, preparing dinner, the bullet entering behind the right ear ant! coining out at the loft temple. The girl, who was Page's niece, fell on her bac i ou the floor, and apparently naver stirred again.

But M. . Boulo heard a diffei ent story in Salt Lake Oity. He saw estates owned by wealthy- man in which nmideta profusion of beautiful So worn and fruit-benriiig trees were a number uf am all iiounra dotted , about hero and there, and each one of these homes.hs was |ssured, was the reMdence ofone of the wives. The owner's 1 own residence was in the centre 1 . Apart, however, from religious and social questions, M. JBoule could not help admiring tho Mormoun and their ways. Tbo poorest of _ them have little houses surrounded with leafy trees, and the public Btreetß afford a vista of green leaves stretching everywhere as far as the eye could ranch. The men, he says, are perfect gentlemen in their ways, and the women are pretty and dreaied in good taste. 1 Yet those people are the children of that wretched band of Bottlers who traversed the great plains only a few years aeo under the direction of a poor Philadelphia blacksmith.

Touching agoin upon that grave question of sheep breeding for export of frozen tnont (says tho Sydney "Mail), it is noteworthy that the crauaing forheavy enroaso may produce too much fat.- Tho Wow Ztialanderd i:i some inRtanccs ftillou into this mistake. An Enahih botchor who wiitea on tha subject thinks it wnuld pay Now Zottlanders to bo satisfied with less wool, and : try to get better muttou. The greatest fault with the mutton, in his opinioa,*ig: that it is bm fat. Ho seems to think they uso too many of the Lincoln and Itdmney breeds, as he says that, judging'from the class of frozen moat, it appears as if the Down breeds ought to ho used more extensively. He is, of course, guided by thtt taste of his customers, and they don't like wasteful fat. Lean meat of Rood quality ia tho cry nowadays, whether mutton r pork or beef. He acknowledges that plonty of lean sheep from Australia are cut np in England and passed offee best Canterbury mutton.

The journal was read , by the editor JMr W. M. 13asthope)tahd comprised eight artioios from correspondents on "Legitimate Sport."- : All tho articles tended to show that ai] sports : wore legitimate or lawful if thei element of danger was eliminated. Sports such as bull-baiting, cock-fighting, and fighting to a finish were condemned. General sports, such as football, cricket, oyoling; i horse-racing, eta,, in themselves were : pure, unless they were degraded by gambling. All the articles were debated, and gave rise to animated discussion. An elocutionary contest will take place at next Friday's meeting of the bociety, in which eleven competitors will face the jndaes. This being the first of the kind held in the annals of tho Society, there should be a large attend* ance.
