The weather for the past month has been
very dry, and generally warm. The health of the inhabitants of
the city is excellent.
The past conference was very interesting. The teachings of the
First Presidency were appropriate and seasonable: 33 missionaries were
sent to Europe, 22 to Canada, 13 to the Sandwich Isles, 11 to the
U. S., and 2 to California.
A great many have been called to go on the road between
here and the States; some to make settlements, others to engage
in the service of the Express and carrying coy.
Quite a number have left these vallies, and are returning
to the States, and others to California.
Since the arrival of brosEllsworth and McArthur last fall
with the hand cart companys, hand carts have become popular; inso-
much that the Missionaries for Europe Canada and the States have
substituted the hand carts, and are now travelling en route for the
states by that method of conveyance: 23rd. Ulto. was the day
appointed for their starting, which created an unparralleled excite-
ment in the starting of Missionaries from these vallies. Appropriate
addresses were delivered by Elders Hyde, Woodruff, L. Snow & others:
