FromFriday's Daily.
TheLectuiie.^There was^good attendance at the M E. Church last^evening, the occasion being the Lecture of^A. M. Woolfolk, on the Literary Defects of^the Present Age. It was assumed that in thi^^immediate age there is a dearth of good fruits^in Poetry, Oratory and General Literature,^and upon this premise the Lecturer described^the various influences contributing to that^result. Tbe ambition of the day is for wealth,^and talent catching the infection, forsakes^the fields of Literature for the counting room company^and manufactory, while Genius in the wild^excitement of materialism is overlooked or^finds its gitts begging on the market and too^often yields to dissipation and sinks to the^grave. We are living too fast, and the influ^^ences of the age are all against profound re^^search and the careful, long continued disci^^pline to prepare for it. But a reaction will^assuredly follow and a better day dawn short^^ly on Literature. Such we believe tbe out^^line of the argument. We think tbe premise^wrong, and so thinking could not entirely en

We believe this age is full of ^^bnsy workers,whose song offerings on the al^^tar of the Muses will be the anthems of coming^years; whose words will be axioms in the^mouths of statesmen, and whose brilliant ora^^tory will be proudly pointed to by the index^of Fame. Every hour cannot be expected to^throw upon the surface such offer^^ings as the centuries have sparsely scattered^over them, and it is years, oftimes genera^^tions ere the people are educated to appre^^ciate the work that the master minds delve^from the miues of thought and contribute^to the stores of tbe world's knowledge.^Homer recited his Iliad and Odyssey for snch^-cant pittance as the organ grinder of to^^day receives; it was after he was dead that^seven cities claimed the honor of being his^birth place. Milton's sold Paradise Lost for^eight pounds sterling and a booksellers^sneer; Byron was viitually banished. Eng^^land ignored them living and worship* them^dead. Washington was not half so near a^saint when he lived as he is now when his^are mouldered. Lincoln's name is yet i^ited with epithets, and bis utterances I^derided. On the page of the world's history^his name will be bright as Washingtone, and i^his Gettysburg speech live immortal as a |^matchless gem ot eloquence. We live among^the great and good, but tLe glamour of^mortality hides their virtues from our eyes un- '^til death unrobes them. So much for a differ^^ence of opinion. The Lecturer treated his^subject skillfully, clothed his searching^thought* in choic* words, and in frequent^tributes to orators and ^bards sublime, ^ hung^upon their tombs rhetorical chapleU of I^purity and beauty that alone was sufficient to^dissipate the fallacy of ^the decline of Liter^^ature.^ The Lecture throughout was listened^to with the most profound attention, and^elicited favorable com* eats from an audience^intelligent and discriminating. Col. Wool-^folk is recognised as one of tbe gifted^orators of the Territory, and his latest effort^has placed bis star still higher in the zenith.

J. C. Walker, Chas. Dahler and C. B^Stepbanson were thereupon una .luiously^elected fire commissioners

Itwas then resolved that two collectors be^appointed to collect assessments and pay over^the sums received to the treasurer; and^Messrs. D. C. Corbin and W. S. Paynter were^duly appointed said collectors.

Thepublishers of the Salt Lake lie-^! porter have commenced the issue of a^j weekly edition, containing all the mat*,^ter that appears in the daily. It is de^^cidedly anti-Mormon and strikes square^fr^^m the shoulder at the vices and hutn-^j bugs of the Mormon polygamic Theoc^^racy. Yet, we have noticed with pleas-^I ure there is an under current ot liberal^] sentiment even in its fiercest articles,^and a freedom from personal malice^j toward the leaders of the church, while^I in no instance has there been assaults^upon the masses. Mr. Beadle, the ed-^j itor, is a gentleman of more than ordi*^^ nary ability. The paper is a specimen^ot typographical neatness, and one of^the most welcome of our exchanges as a^fresh, spicy, newsy newspaper. The^j terms nre $o yearly: J^;J for six months.^' We recommend the investment of green^i back in the ll^\^ort^ r by thobe interested^' or acquainted in Ctah.
Thehouse in which Dr. Whartou^lived while in Georgetown in haunted.^It is a small frame cottage situated in^| the lower town, immediately under the^' dark shrdow of the mountain, close to^j where Miss Lander met such a sad, cru^^el death. There is a horrible feeling of^dread steals over the !onely traveler who^chances to pass this spot after night fall.^| The children of the village speak, in^I whispers, and matrons find in the very^name of the spot a talisman which never^fails to awe obstreperous youngsters^I into obedience. Immediately hy the^cottage aforesaid, a stunted, crooked^pine tree stands, which has a hang-^dog,^shabby air about it, which would be^noticed even by a stranger. It has a^miserly, contracted appearance^too^stingy to grow, and too mean to decent^^ly die. It is the tree upon which Bain-^bridge was hanged. Under that crooked^pine he uttered his last prayer, ana^there he warned his executioners to re^^member that night, for he would haunt^them until he died. About two months^ago the people who were then occupy^^ing the house were startled by myste^^rious noises in the night which fright*^ened them away. They movod out.^Three sturdy miners, hearing of the^trouble, resolved to stay in the house^all night. They prepared themselves^with pistols and daik lanterns. One^night satisfied them. The doors were^opened by unseen hands: footsteps were^heard on the floor, on the steps leading^to the chamber, even in the very room^where the men. with wide eyed terror,^sat and trembled, but could see nothing.^Since that time no man, no human be^^ing, has been foand so brave as to en^^ter the house after dark.^Coi^r^ido Uer^aid.
