THE MAYOR'S COURT
versus
UTAH ON THE WAU PATH.
On two (ale occasions w have given our
views on the subject of publishing the
proceedings of the Mayor’s Ouurt; and
notwithstanding the article published in
this paper on Sunday morning, headed
“Utah on the War Path,” we stand to all
we have said upon the subject. But, while
we do not intend to report the proceedings
of those courts, wo do intend to notice
disorders whon they occur, and are of a
character to disturb tho quiet of neigh
borhoods. Tho Utah cose was just 'such
a one, though wo know nothing against
the gcnoral good character of the princi
pal actor in that affair. If any party be
fore Judge Uedd’e Court, on Haturday,
eomes within the class of thoso whoso
names are so often before Mayor Bran
non, it is a fact unknown to us and un
known to all otliors who do dot rollsh the
discoveries that can only bo mado by
prying into the mysterlos of tho "lowest
hovels.” If wo lot our “foot slip” in that
case, it was not an accidental slip, but a
slip that may occur on any occasion that
we may deom a proper ono; nor shall any
apparent “Inconsistency” that may strike
and delight our watchful nolghbor of tho
Htuiuirir, arrest it.
What tho “Poet” of that paper, however,
ao deprecates as an “Inconsistency” and a
“slip,’’ was really a fortunate circum
stance for him; for tt gave him an oppor*
tunlty, which ho seized with avidity, to
present all his high claims to “talent,”
geelus and superiority, without any of
their ordinary accompaniment—of too
much modesty. Wo will not compare
powers with the Editor of tho Enquirer—
having great distrust of ourself—but will
take great pleasure In according to him
all tho “talent” and genius ho may desire
the credit of possessing, and will admit
that his "style" is admirably adnptod to
tho service he seems so much to like. In
deed, in Mayor’s Courts, tho “Poet and
the Place” have met. What taste and
circumstances have united, let no man put
asunder.
THE ORPHANS' POUAI* PARTY.
a bounteous suri’t.y.
We record with sincere feelings of pleas
ure, the generous exertions of tho com
munity and of the ladies especially, In be
half of tho little orphans of our city.
The gifts loaded down a large table and
were heaped In profusion on the floor.
There was enough to last a siege. Hams,
flour, coffee, sugur, cheese and many
articles too numorous to mention, were
brought to All the larder of the Asylum.
Late In the evening the little ones rogaled
themselves upon cakes, candies, Ac.,
which tho kind ladies had thoughtfully
prepared for theihj.
This effort on the part of their friends
will doubtless be gratefully remembered
In the future years by those children.
Though to the needy a helping hand
should always bo extended, and conse
quently no encomiums heaped upon the
helpless; nevertheless in this instance
particular praise is justly due the ladles
who so zealously worked to make the
pound party a success and contributed to
the comfort and happiness of these little
children. And the ladies, while they de
serve so many thanks themselves, desire
to thank everybody for so liberally help
ing them. Besides tho piles of goods sent
in, a handsome little purse of $45 was
made up to buy other things with, and
last but not least, Billy Hadcliff came in
and added Ills flue music to the prevailing
good cheer, delighting all present and
especially the little girls. The ladies
thank Mr. Radciifl for Ids songs, and
other friends for all favors.
Spring Dress Goods, brought over from
last Beason, selling at a great sacrifice at
feb7 ood3t J. 8. Jones'.
Public Hulna Yeitrrduy.
C. 8. Harrison sold several pieces of roul
ostato yesterday fortlio Sheriff, and some
for tho City Marshal, for tax.
The Sheriff sold tho Hawks place, in
town, for sloo—subject to mortgage
claims. Dr. Phelps purchasor.
Also, the D. B. Thompson plaoe, on the
river road, near race track, for SISOO, to
Davis Andrews.
All the property sold at Marshal’s sade
was bought in by the city for amount of
taxes due.
At private salo ho sold several mules
and horses at what appoarod moderate
prices, ranging from $26 to SB2. Quite a
variety of othor porsonal proporty was
sold.
Messrs. Yonge A Acee also had a largo
salo of porsonal property belonging to
the estate of tho late John McNeill.
We have seldom noticed mom spirited
bidding, and tho prioos obtained seemed
satisfactory. On tho whole yesterday was
a big salo day.
That’s tho true policy; selling off old
stock at a sacrifice, and opening fresh
goods at gllt-odge prices, and thlß is why
it’s never dull at the Cash Dry Goods

The Choral Union.

In tho treasury. Pastors of the
several churches were then elected as
honorary members, without the payment
of duos. At the last meeting, from the 61
aotivo members 50 wore present, besides
many honorary members. Tho rehearsal
was carried on with much spirit. Several

tion of all kinds of business and industry
is foarfully depressed, and it behooves
every family to look carefully to their ex
penses. Winter is coming on when chil

Cough, etc. Coughs and. Colds will pre
