Republican : Your excellent paper comes to band every week for which I have to thank mj cousin, D. W. Clark, of your place. It does me good to see a paper from "America," even, though the place u strange to me. I have been at work recently run ning an engine in a smelter, but at present am working at wy trade, to ff it, carpentering. Am getting $4.00 par day, which is quite good wages, considering the price of provisions, as we can buy provisions here about as cheap as in Omaha, where they pay f 1.50 per day, and work scarce at that. We are not doiug anything on our claims at present ; think best to work while there is plenty to do and wages good, for as soon as winter comes on, the "Yahoo's" (Mormons) will flock in from all quarters and work for "grub" f nothing more. We now have our best claim in shape to work in winter, when snow will answer for water. The latter is rather scarce on the hills. In the sum mer the water business is quite an item here, and it seems queer to the "Tender-Foot (a person from the States) to have to buy water. On the hill north of town they charge lOo per gallon, and on the hill south 5c. The water is obtained from fine springs on the top of either hill, near the upper end of the Canon. The mines still continue good, and a few rich ones are being (truck occas ionally, but not as often as early in the season. About everything that was in sight has been located, conse quently, if anything is found now, the prospector has to dig for it, or sink blind. Our mills are crushing ore quite steady. The Smelters are all quiet just now; one starts to-morrow and the other two soon. The Arastras are working steady. J. be town still im proves, if not morally it does in iniqui ty, as there is being built a bowling alley, and improvements in the way of saloons still eontinue. On the 2d inst, a party consisting of thirteen persons all married, and having six of our other parts along, started for Utah Lake id an old four horse hack, on a fishing and hunting trip. At noon we arrived at old Camp Floyd where wo waited somo three hours to have some blacksmithing done on the hack, so the old concern would hold together for the balance of tho tirp. Y' e broke the lead bars, the king-bolt, and lost only seventeen nuts off the old rattletrap. Floyd is some twenty-three miles from Ophir around the valley, and twelve across the hills. n e find no water on the road after leaving East Canon till we arrive at Floyd. They have as fine a spring of water there as one could ask for. The town is about crumbled down, or rath er the houses, as they they are built of adobes. We spread our table-cloth on the ground and partook of the provisions brought with us, after which we again started on our journey. From here we had a fine road, it being one of the old California routes. We found no water until we arrived at the river Jordan, which connects Utah Lai a with Salt Lake. We arrived at Lehl at sunset ; distance traveled, forty miles. Lehi is situated about two miles from the south end of the lake, is a very pretty place, but like all others in this section, is built of adobes. We 'camped" id the town. ' On the 3d, we moved some eight miles on the west side of the lake, to the hot springs, and camped. These t prings are quite a curiosity, being two iu number aud only a few rods from tho lake. They are some fifteen feet in diameter; one, it is said, has no bot tom. The Jake is some ten by thirty miles, with low banks and a sort of muddy water. It is claimed that it is the best place for Gelling in the Territory. We worked around the south end of the lake all day, and caught a few chubs and shot a few "tip-ups," but nothing else could we reach with line or shot. Camped for the night nearly disgusted with our trip. On the 4th, we broke camp and and started up the lake ; went eight miles and got two men to draw a wins for nsj ths result was about two hun Republican. in that Faith let us to the end, dare do our duty as we understand pa., Tuesday, September 19, i87i. dred suckers and chubs, but ne'er a trout. From hero we have a fine view of the east side ; we could see five vil lages, among them the American Forks and other noted mining districts. The soil around the lake is like all I have seen here, it is of no use unless you can get water to irrigate with. On the backward route we camped at Floyd, and on the 5th got home at noon, pretty well tuckered. I suppose you will not have room for more, so I will close, wishing your self and the Republican a prosperous future. Yours &c, II. G. Clark. Alphabet of Proverbs. A grain of prudence is worth a pound of craft. Boasters are cousins to liars. Confession of faults make half amends. Detiying a fault doubles it. Envy ehooteth at others and Wound- eth herself. Foolish fear doubles dangers. God reaches us good things by our hands. lie has hard work who has nothing to do. It costs more to avenge wrongs than to bear them. Knavery is the worst trade. Learning makes man tit company for himself. Modesty is a guard to virtue. Xsot to bear conscience is tbe way silence it. One hour to-day is worth more than two to-morrow. Proud looks make foul work on fair faces. Quiet conscious gives sweet sleep. Richest is he that wants least. Small faults indulged are little thieves that let in greater. The boughs that bear most bend lowest. Virtue and happiness are mother and dauebter. Wise men make more opportunities than they nnd. You never lose by doing a good turn Zeal without knowledge is fire with out light. After he built the Drew Church, one of bis neighbors was inquiring of Daniel his experience about special providence. "Beleive in special prov idence? VI coarse 1 do. said .Daniel "Why, when I subscribed ten thousand dollars for that church I had no idea where the money was coming from, but Providence was with me. I went down to Wall street, got in with some ofthoBe New lork smart lei lows, and in less than six months I had skinned them out of ten thousand dollars as clear as a whistle." A dyspeptic read thnt by sending a dollar by mail he would receive a cure tor dyspepsia, lie sent tbe money, and received a slip with the following printed on it: "Stop drinking and hoe in the garden." The man was mad at first, then laughed, and finally went to hoeing, and stopped drinking, and he is now as well as ever. i be Delaware X eninsula will, it is reported, this year ship three million five hundred thousand baskets of peaches, or five hundred thousand more than last year. iwenty-nvo hundred women, cod victed of Betting fire, or attempting to set fire, to buildings in Paris, have been sentenced to transportation to New Caledonia. The Earl of Shaftesbury used to say tbat all men of sense bad one religion, "And what religion is that?" asked a lady. "That, men of sense never tell," replied tbe earl.

Not loner since an elderly lady en tered a railway car, and disturbed the passengers a good deal with complaints about a 'most dreadful rheumatic' tbat she was troubled with. A gentleman present, who had himself been a se vere sufferer with the same complaint, said to her, 'Did you ever try electici- ty, madam 7 1 tried it, and in tbe course of a short time it cured roe.'

A student who bad been imbibing copious draughts of grape essence, and who was reveling in a harmless state of inebriation, overheard two gentle men discussing the merits of the cele brated Galileo.

'Why so many mental calcu lations to discover that the earth ro volves? Three bottles of Burgundy enabled me to find tbat out. The 'local' of the Chicago Republi can says: 'lbe newest method ot mak ing an bonest living is to go round at night with an accomplice, and play tom-cat under tbe widows of irascible bachelors. Then they throw boots and boot-jacks, and hair brushes, and crockery, and and things at you, and you pick thera up and sell them for old rags. We got part of a bed room set worth $7.50 last night, and to-night we are going back to get the rest ol it. Here is a good one on the 'tater bugs.'

'What are you disturbing the whole house with your yells in this way for?' demanded a New Jersey landlord of a guest whom he found late at night seemingly in pursuit or invisible toes, and yelling at the top of his voice, Tm shouting the battle cry ot na dom, answered the guest, as he went ahead with his search and his yells, A Norwich man is very angry with his wife. He bought an India rubber air-bed. She didn't believe it was heal'.hy to sleep on a mattress that wasn't ventilated, and so during his absence punched about fifty holes in it. That husband has lost his faith in wo man's ingenuity. A country fellow came to the city to see his intended wile, and for a long time could think of nothing te say. At lost, a great suow falling, he took occasion to tell her that al litis father's sheep would be undone. 'Well,' said she kindly, taking him by the hand, 'I'll keep one of them.' A gentleman ' in Chicago, who was arrested for cruelty to a miserable looking horse, was asked if he ever fed biruT 'that's a good un.'was there ply, 'lie's got a bushel and a half of oats at home now, only he ain't got time to eat 'em.'

An old lady from one of the rural districts astonished a clerk in one of the stores, a few days ago, by inquiring if he had any yaller developments, sick as they as they did up letters in. A lad in Hartford, whose fifth birth day occurred last week, asked his pa rents if the schools would keep open that day, adding, 'Tbey didn't ou Washington's birthday.'
