Snow in tiik Mountains. lessrs.
lioierts and Gray, who started for
the Roise country, a few days ago,
over the Willamette Valley & Cascade
Mountain Wagon Road, have returned
to this city, going no further than
Canyon Creek some forty-t'our miles.
Arriving at that point they learned
from a gentleman who hail just came
over the mountains that heavy snows
had fallen In the mountains for a dis
tance of fifteen or twenty miles along
the route, and that traveling was ex
ceedingly difficult. The snow was a foot
deep this side of Fish Rak, and
I hat the snow was falling when their
informant left the mount'ains. A lirtj
of emigrants from California, "making
their way through the mountains w ere
hemmed In by the deep snow at Fish
Lake, some of their stock having died,
and more in a fair way to die, making
it impossible for them to get out of the
mountains without help. There were
some'others, en route for this valley.
Who were, in the same fix. their stock
having given out ; and unless aid was
received the probability was they
would lose their stiK-k, and undergo
much sullering themselves before get
ting through the snow. Under these
circumstances Mr. RoU-rts thought it
the safest and wi-vst course, to return
to Albairy and take the Columbia river
route.

' len Sketch of BrlsrhwKi Youngr
. In the Salt Rake coi respondenee of
the Philadelphia lJre appears a long
chapter on 3Iormonism and its chief
lrophet, from which we coyy. this:
The " Lion of the Rord" i or then
was, :l very well-conditioned lion, in
deeda man of portly presence ad
nearly six f.et in height. His fore-
! head has not mudi ureaum, out is 01
j fair average height. The hair yth
! which it is crowned was once of a
saixlv or reddish hue. but is now plen
tifully sprinkled with gray; it is al
ways carefullv oiled and brushed into
rolls. It is in the small, piercing gray
eves. the thin, linnly-set lips the sto
lid face, and massive lower jaw, that
Rrigham Young's characteristics are
chiefly" revealed. A strong, deter
mined, aggressive face, with that deep
furrow fit m the nostril to the corner
of the mouth on either side, which, in
consequence of the undue development
of the labial and facial muscles, usu
ally marks the man who speaks much
in public. In speaking his upper lip
appears to fit in somewhat behind the
lower, probably from the loss or wear
ing away of the upper teeth, of which
but faint vestiges remain. When con
versing he does not frequently look at
the person whom he addresses, but
gazes straight before him. when to till
around his words come forth with ex
plosive vehemence.
Rrigham wears a closely-cut reddish
leard, sprinkled, like his hair, with
gray, only his upper and lower lip be
ing shaven. Place around a thick-set
neck an old-style black silk cravat,
with a narrow -edge of linen collar
foil led over it; clothe him in a black
coat and pantaloons, with a white col
larless waistcoast adorned with a pon
derous gold watch-guard, upon his feet
well polished boots, and Rrigham
Young stands revealed, lie might be
a weil-to-do manufacturer, wno has'
fought his way up from the ranks; or
a money-getting merchant, comfort
able in his investments, a power in the
Kingdom of Mammon and, indeed,
he is both one and the other. Haydly
would one unacquainted with his his
tory judge him to be w hat he is, the
man whose will is implicitly obeyed,
whose divine appointment is implicitly
believed in, who is looked up to with
fanatical veneration by hundreds of
thousands ot men and women. He
shows but few evidences of that fanati
cism which one v.ould exjiect to see
revealed in the face of a man having
such a history ; stili he is a fanatic, un
questionably, but his fanaticism ha-j
underlying it a strong basis of prac
tical common sense. Xot onlj' is he
the most successful religiousTeailer, but
one of the most successful business
managers and administrators of pub
lie a Hairs in these modern times.
