held lor it. Mr. Cntos also is assessed
about four hundred dollars on the same lay
out. Now these gentlemen iiuvo lived in
Union for some time where such improe
nionts are made at the expense of the city,
and 'hey naturally don't like this move on
the part of the dodgastcd niofebarks of
Fairhaven and refer with much pride to

At Last!
The long expected illiutrnted History of
Utah by the eminent historian, Hubert II.
Bancroft, has at last appeared. It is abso
lutely a revelation. After visiting the Held
in person, taking testimony impartially
from all sides, eertilloally reviewing the
enormous number of 1000 ditlerent authori
ties, and searching many of the secret ar
ehhcsof the Mormon church, Mr. Itanoroft
now gives to the world this wonderful and
remarkable work, the only- true history
of Mornionisni, published.
Tho work reads like a romance tho won
derful adventures of trappers and travel
lers, tho bloody Indian wars, the thrilling
accounts of massacres and miraculous es
capes, the famous Dante Association or
Destroying Angels, the story of Urigham
Young all this fresh jfroin the pen of the
brilliant and gifted author forms a nara
tive of exciting interest, as fascinating as a
noyel yet true to tho letter. Above all in
surpassing Interest is tho unfolding of the
great Mormon question and the mysteries
of Polygamy which will be read witli eager
interest by all classes of people throughout
the English speaking world. The work is
published in one large volume of over bOO
pages, bound in red and gold, and grandly
illustrated with steol-plato portraits of tho
gieat Mormon leadurs, exquisite half-tone
engravings and dazzling colored plates. It
is issued by the great publishing house of
tho Pacific coast, The History Company of
San Francisco, and can only be procured
through thoir authorized agents. We call
attention to tho advertisement in another
column, under heading of $25. Howard.
