LOCAL MATTERS.
The Opera Last Nl^ht.
The performance last night, was an- ;
other brilliant success.
We need not allude in particular, to
any especial excellencies of the piece, ,
for in all essential respects the whole
was faultless. Boquet after boquet was
showered upon the stage, and the whole
audience were quite enraptured with
the ToniooS Miss Honsox, and the Marie
of Miss Durand. Lyster makesa capi
tal Sulpice. In short.aud in all respects,
the Company are up to the very best
standard of classical Opera, and those
who fail to see their representations, de
prive themselves of an entertainment
of the most refined, chaste, and delight
ful character.
To-night,—which we regret is the
lasi but one— Auher’s fine Opera of the
Crown Diamonds will he presented.
There has been an increasing attend
ance every night during the week, and
we learn that a very large number of
tickets have been sold to day, therefore
those who wish to procure seats would
do well to go early.

A STORY OP SALT LAKE CITY.
BY WALLA WALLA.
CHAPTER I.
On, to the west, on, beyond the moun
tains, on towards the setting sun, on,
over broad, rivers and fertile prairies,
on, on, during days, and weeks, and
months of weary travel, we journey,
and at last we look for the first time
upon tile Paradise of the Mormons, up
on the far famed city of the Salt Lake.
The day is drawing towards its close,
as a j’oung man of about twenty-two or
three years of age might be seen, leav
ing one of the larger houses in the out
skirts of the city, and slowly taking his
way towards the Lake shore. It was a
fine evening, and, although in the mid
dle of winter, the atmosphere was mildj
and pleasant, and the sun, before slnk-i
ing in the west, cast a soft mellow tint
over the landscape. Still the young
man walked on, heedless of the beauties,
of nature, and seemingly sunk in deep,
and to judge by the compressed brows, |
not overpleasant thoughts.
Walter Berger had in childhood fol-,
lowed his parents in their emigration to
Utah, but being naturally of a strong
mind, lie had soon, notwithstanding the
influence of early training, seen through;
the shallow mockery of the Mormon re
ligion, and would long since have left
their modern pandemonium, if love for!
his mi guided parents had not staid his :
steps. But his hostility to the Mormon
religion was well known, and by the
Prophet and Elders he was looked upon
with distrust, and nothing but his pop-,
ularity with the poor, whose love he
| had won by repeated acts of kindness
had hitherto saved him. As it is, Brig-1
ham Young had to be satisfied withj
putting spies upon his footsteps, hoping
thereby to find some pretext to rid him
self of a person, who, lie well, knows, j
looked with contempt upon his authori- j
ty- |
Walter's parents had now been dead
for nearly a year, and still he lingered, j
bound by love, for one of those fair bo-!
ings of which poets dream, and moth
er nature sometimes sends us poor fel
lows in commiseration of our cheerless
j condition.
| Fanny Langby, had, about two years
ago, then a girl of about fourteen, fol-1
lowed her parents from their English I
home to Utah, and since then, anger, |
at her father’s unprincipled conduct,
and commiseration for her mother's
many sorrows, had matured her mind,
and at sixteen she was less of a child,
| and more of a woman than girls at that
•age ill general are.
Walter had known her since her nr
rival, and had learned to love her, not
so much for the beauty of her face, as
I for the more solid and enduring quail- i
j ties of her mind. Fanny on her side;
had within the last year often found
herself thinking of the kind pleasant
youth, whose praises every one soun
ded. Such stood the case to within a
short time of the opening of our story, j
when Walter confessed his love and re- j
ceived the assurance of iier’s in return.!
Aixiut a week before the evening on i
which our story commences, Brigham
Young had one day unceremoniously en
tered Mr. Langby’s residence. It was
the first time he had cro'sed their tresh
hold, and also the first time he had
come in such close contact with Fanny,
with w'bose beauty lie seemed particu
larly struck, and often during his some
what lengthy visits she had to veil her
eyes from the bold gaze of the libertine.
Since then, she had often with terror
thought on his parting words, which
seemed to imply more than a mere wish
to be better acquainted with the Lang
by family.
We now return to Walter Berger, who
we left walking along the Lake shore.
He had gone about two or three miles
from the city before he came to a small
cabin, built by the margin of the Lake
and occupied by a person called Tom
Burley, a Mountain hunter, who as he
was rather a strange specimen of the
jgenus homo, we will describe.
| Short and thickset lie looked literally
jas broad as long. This strange body
i was supplied with arms of nearly Si
jmian length, and a head very small
and covered with bushy black hair,
! from under his over hanging brow
jshown a pair of eyes of almost super
human brightness, add to this, that he
was dressed in a suit of tight fitting
I buckskin clothes, which set off his pow
erfully built frame to the greatest ad
j vantage, as he would himself have said
I —Tom Burley all over.
Walter found Tom Burley ready to
| launch a canoe, so stepping on board
j they plied their paddles for sometime
in silence. At last Tom said laughingly,
j “ ’Spose you didn’t come here to pad
i die a canoe?"
“ No, I wished to have a ‘palavor’
with you, as you call it, about Brigham
j Young, and tilings in general.’’
“ Well go ahead.”
j “I told you a couple of days ago that
\ Brigham Young had been at Mr. Lang
by’s, and that he seemed to be particu
larly struck with Fanny’s beauty.—
Since then we have both been anxious
about what his intentions may be, and
I have been trying to persuade Fanny to
i let me take her to a place of security,
at Fort Bridgcr, but she feels unwill
ing to leave her mother, who poor fool
j ish woman, still has hopes of reclaiming
|her depraved husband.’’
“ Well it's a pretty ticklish business,
; and all I can do, is to have some horses
; ready if any thing should happen.”
“ Yes, but I am sure that Brigham
has spies on me, and if I make any such
preparations lie is sure to find out and
lay his plans accordingly.”
“Leave the horses to me, and you
just lay low and keep dark and keen
dark, and we will fool Brigham yet, or
I’m a nigger.”
After some further conversation they
put ashore and Walter leaving Tom to
pursue his journey alone returned homo.
CHAPTER 11.
It was towards nino o’clock the morn
ing following Walter's interview with
,*the hunter that Brigham Young sat
alone in a room in his stately mansion.
He seemed thoughtful, and well he
might, things had not gone as well late
ly as lie might wish. First and fore
t most that meddlesome old gentleman
Unde Samuel, had seen fit to send some
* of his nephews on a vist to him, and
3 although the cold of the winter had de
barred them from consummating the
latter part of their journey, still early
■ in the spring they would be sure to make
their appearance, and then, he knew
r well enough, that only two alternatives,
3 either unconditional surrender to the
3 authorities, or emigration to some out
-1 of-tlie-way place, where he yet for a
- few years might be at liberty to wallow
in the mire of his licentious passions,
r This, although his greatest, was yet
> a somewhat distant danger, and like a
philosopher he let every day take care

repugnance of a
than four feet in height.he was
ed even more than the
humpbacks. Add to this a head whose*
! monstrous size sat as it were upon a very i
j small neck, caused it to rock to and fro !
j like that of the mandarines sometimes j
seen in the windows of toy shops. Such
was the person who entered Brigham
Young's study.
“ Well Pop, what have you got to
I say ?”
“I have followed your Excellency’s
order and watched Walter Berger. I
saw him yesterday once talking with
j Fanny Langby and afterwards I follow-'
|ed him to Tom Burley’s cabin, but
j as they went out upon the lake I could '
j of course not overhear their conversa
tion.”
“ But you overheard what he said to j
i Fanny ?”
“ A great part. I heard them talk
ing about your Excellency's visit and ( .
j heard him urging her to fly to Fort j
j Bridgcr.”
Brigham, springing, up in a pas
| sion, said, “I’ll learn him to meddle j,
in my business ! To your post, Pop, (
and let me know if anything happens.”
Anxious looks and traces of recent
tears greeted Walter Berger as he made !
his appearance at Mr. Langby’s and ' (
good cause there was for both anxiety
and tears, for that morning Mr. Langby
had signified his intention to bring a
j second wife to his limne.
By the united voices of Fanny and -
j Waiter, Mrs. Langby was at last per-1
j suaded to leave her brutish husband,
and in company with her children seek :
refuge at Fort Bridger.
A long conversation followed, and
| Walter telling them to be in readiness
| the following night, left them to their
preparations aud went ill quest of Tom
i Burley.
Tom was not at home, and lighting i
his pipe, Walter had nothing else to do j
' but patiently await his arrival.
Some time passed and still the hunter 1
1 did not makehis appearance,and Walter
at last tired out of waiting, walked out!
' to seek him. He had only taken a few j
' steps outside the door, when sonic half a j
dozen Danites springing upon him, he ;
was overpowered, and notwithstanding j
his struggles, his arms were securely
bound. Scarcely was this done when
- another party made their appearance
leading Tom Burley also a prisoner. The
twocaptives were then led some distance
1 from the cabin, where a wagon was in
waiting. Into this they were put and
; carried to the residence of Brigham
‘ Young, and there put into an under
: ground prison, with which the Mormon !
1 tyrant had supplied his house.
1 For a short time after their captors
■ had left them, neither uttered a word, |
but scarcely had the last sound of the
' retreating footsteps died away, when
Walter to his wonder heard the Hunter
■ give a low chucking laugh. I should (
l think this no laughing matter, he said,
■ somewhat angry at the Hunter’s mirth.
' It may he darned for a woodchuck if
■ it ain’t, exclaimed Tom, once more
! j breaking out laughing, why the drat
-1! teil fools never took away my knife and
' i puppies ; you just take out my knife
■j and we will soon be 0 K.
I: Walter joyously done as 1m was bid,
■ and with a strong clasp knife lie soon
J i liberated both himself and Tom. They
l examined their cell thoroughly, hut
3 1 without finding any place by which an
■! escape was possible, till long after dark
• | Walter accidentally happened to feel the
J outlines of a trapdoor in the ceiling,
’ I moving a large block of wood which
1 . wps intended to serve as a table to a
! place nearly under the trap, Tom jump
! ed upon it and putting his back against
t the door and exerting his immense
' strength he burst it open.
Wlio the ‘-Southern Matron” is.
sj “Belle Brittain,” in a letter to the
J New Orleans Picayune, dated at liich
-3 mond, refers to Miss Cunningham, “the
, Southern Matron,” and the lady who
- conceived the idea of purchasing Mount
■ Vernon. “She is,” remarks this cor
! respondent, “a native of Charleston,
and an invalid from infancy. Never
t having been married, the title of ‘Mat
s ron’ is, of course, a misnomer; unless
jby figure of speech, we may call her
a j the ‘Virgin Mother’ of the great cause!
1 i to which she is dedicating her feeble,
1 ' yet most effective existence. ® ® °
I I found Miss Cunningham confined to
1 ! her bed; and marveled to see such
i: strength coming out of weakness. It
I'] is the power of thought, or will, or
rather of love, that creates aud controls ;
r ! the world. There, pale and physically
51 feeble, this chief apostle of Mount Ver
• nonism has a patriotic fire in her eye
that never fails to kindle a most conta
gious enthusiasm.”

- Broke Jail.
j We understand that prisoners in jail,
3 last night, about 8 o’clock, by some
means broke the locks of the cells, and
by means of blankets descended from
' one of the windows and escaped. Fer
: guson, confined for negro stealing in
Nortli Carolina, was caught, having
’ somewhat injured himself in his descent.
' Slaven, convicted of highway robbery.
[ Thos. McAndrew, of burglary, Spaulding
3 and Hiller, of grand larcery, Smith,
’ charged with forgery, and a negro, the
j property of John B. Brown, have so far
3 eluded the vigilance of the police.—

t Richmond Custom House last winter,
i 1 has been sentenced to the Penitentiary

”*•'
I floodoffnlnisa necessary consequence {
j the price will depreciate. Many in Or
i leans, Niagara, and other counties, last;
season raised large quantities of beans.
At this time last year the price ranged
j from $1 to $1 25, now from 03 to 75
cents. They have not sold for less than
! 31, we. think, for many years. A grea
ter quantity have been consumed, no
doubt, the present winter, than ever be- j
fore, especially by the poor in cities, as
they are really the cheapest food that:
j can be used. Barley was substituted for
wheat very generally, in this section,
the last season, and the consequence is
! it now sells from 50 to 56 cents, though
j bringing 31 and over for many years
j previous. This depression, in part, may
have been occasioned by the “hard;
i times,’’but, in our opinion, it is in a
. great degree owing to tire large quanti
; tics raised as a substitute for wheat.—
We are fully satisfied that no one crop
can be grown generally to take the place
of wheat. We must depend upon a di
! versity, and the more diversified the
better for the producers.
Flaxseed now sells at SI 50 per bush ■ 1
el. There is a great scarcity of seed,
very little being grown in this part of;
the State, and our oil mills obtain their 1
stock from Ohio. The paper mills are;
| glad to obtain the stalks without any j
j preparation, thrown on tiie rack like j
hay, at 35 a ton. Twenty bushels of j
seed and one ton of stalks can he grown j
|on a fair soil- If the ground was full!
and well prepared, perhaps the reaping I
machine might be used in harvesting;
flax. Some of our oil manufacturers are;
anxious to have the farmers of this
section engage in the production of flax-;
seed.
A few are giving some attention to to
bacco, and where persons have expe
| lienee, so as to succeed in curing the
; crop well, it is very profitable. The
, Chinese sugar cane and the production
| of syrup and sugar is well worthy of at
j tention. The raising of stock and the
! food for stock, in the cheapest and best
j manner, is an all-important subject, up
ion which the wisest may exhaußt their
i wisdom, and the most experienced add
; very profitably to their stock of knowl
edge.— Rural Xeic l’,rhr.

I*T The Great P r oblcm
Solved !—DR, MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
lias lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
fluid re acquires it 3 solvent power, and the crude
nutriment, which \v»s a load and a burthen to
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
w holesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
I acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-dolorcux
1 or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, J home dewu and dispirited by that
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
or disability arising from the unnatural condition
of the wonderful machinery which connects cv
: cry member with the source of sensation, mo
i lion and thought—derives immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which at once cal ms,
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimous in
j declaring the Elixir to he the greatest boon that
I woman has ever received from the hands of
medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite.
I While it renews the strength of the digestive
J powers it creates a desire for the solid material
j which is to be subjected to their action. As an
j appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
| Iflong lile and the vigor necessary to its en
joyment are desirable, this medicine i 3 indeed of
j precious worth
i Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
: sox or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailiug
! wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
, man of business, the victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general do*
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
will all find immediate and permanent relief from
the use of this incomparable renovator. To
those who liave a i>redijpopition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard
against that terrible malady. There are many
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals w ith disease os it exists, without re*
lercnce to the causes, and will not only remove
the disorder itself, hut rebuild the broken con
stitution
LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush
of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil

ness, Inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe
males, decay of the propagating functions, hys

Sanford's Liver In
vlgorator is tho Lame of a medicine invalu
able to invalids or those troubled with Liver
Complaint, Jaundice or General Debility, with
derangement of the system or loss of appetite.
It has one peculiarity, not common to most
medicines, that is, the Doctor only recommends
it for the cure of liver Complaint, or such dis
eases as arise from a disordered Liver, and how
well it bears the recommendations given is
known to all who use it. We never have known
a medicine of any kind to perform such astonish
ing cures as*has beer* by the INVIGORATOR. It
seems to strengthen and invigorate the whole
body, increasing the vital energy, and giving a
flow of health to many whose ills were consid
ered incurable. We can recommend it know
ingly as a family medicine, for it has been our
best friend in many hour or sickness. We
j wish all to try this remedy and satisfy them
