Dear Sir :—Your letter of the 15th
instant, has been received. In reply,
I would inform you that I have noth
ing to do in any way with the Gard
ner drawing lottery, but inasmuch as
th. y have gone on to sell their tickets
unlawfully and contrary to the stat
utes, and have sold so many of them,
I recommend that they go on with
their drawing. Veiy respectfully,
Jas. S. Thomas, Mayor.
The Owyhee Avalanchc says a letter
was recently received in that city
with the following poetical super
scription, all of which is said to be
true except the ‘ scrub” part which
probably may pass as a poetic license
if poets have any license to take lib
erties with people’s character:
Augustus Jones, a webfoot scrub.
To whom this letter wants to go,
Is chopping cordwood for his grub
In Silver City. Idaho.
Prospering.—After a temporary
suspension the Salt Lake Reporter
comes to us enlarged by an addition of
four columns and much improved in
appearance. The Reporter being op
posed to the Moi mon Church has a
heavy opposition to meet, and as it
battles bravely we congratulate it on
its success.
The Omaha Republican tells of a
man being attacked and nearly killed
by three bull dogs near Fairview on
Wednesday last. He went to visit a
neighbor, when three dogs pounced
upon him and literally tore the flesh
of his left leg to shreds up to the knee,
and horriblv lacerated the thigh clear
up to the hip. The right leg and
right arm were also badly injured.
He was so nearly exhausted when re
leased that but a moment more, as it
.were, and he would have succumbed
and been killed.
