they have like the people walked all the way and assisted in
drawing the hand carts. Brother Ellsworth went through the city
covered with dust at the head of his brave company drawing a
hand cart, under the close scrutiny of the thousands who crowded
the streets with weeping eyes to gaze upon the scene; as he passed
by his own lovely home and saw his wives and children standing in his door
he made no halt, only gave a passing salute, continuing with his company
until he reached the public square and saw them all comfortably encamped
and fed. I felt that his position was far more honorable and lovely
in the eyes of God and Angels and good men, than it would have
been had he been mounted upon the best steed that ever had the
earth clothed with ermine and gold. Prest. Young has declared from
the beginning that it was a practical safe operation his sayings in
this, as in all other cases have proven here, he lost but seven out of his
company a smaller number than almost any company that have arrived here
containing as many souls. Many were aged and infirm, yet they out-travelled
any ox teams that could be started on the road; never has a company
been so highly honored, so numerously worked, or so kindly dealt with
since Israel has arrived in these mountains, as the Pioneer hand cart
companies.

The Deseret State Fair is opened for the reception of articles for
exhibition, and from the universal spirit of encouragement to domestic
manufactures, we anticipate our Fair will be an emporium of Utah's true
wealth which will astonish her own citizens, further particulars by next
mail.

There is a reformation commenced here among this people by
the authorities of the church, such an one as we trust will be
