We are sitiuted be¬tween two streams—the Ogden and Weber rivers; the site here for railroads, junctions and depots is excellent, in fact, as one of the railroad magnates once said "Nature made Ogden for a Junction." There has been much contention, procrastination and scheming as to where the precise location should be. But after traveling East and West, to Bonneville, Corinne, Promontory, etc., the vexed question was settled by planting the centre stake here, and as one gentleman remarked: "It is Ogden or bust." With the railroad terminii, the iron works in full blast, the development of the mineral resources of our mountains, Ogden City is destined to become a manufacturing and commercial centre of the West. MOUND FORT.—This place and Lynne are portions of Ogden, being within the corporate limits and covered by the same char¬ter They constitute a ward and have an Alderman in the City Council. They are divided from the city proper by Ogden river. The citizens of the former, 225 in number, are considerably scat¬tered and the village proper is small, but it contains a large flouring mill. The people, who are farmers, first settled it in 1855. LYNNE.— (Bingham's Fort), located three miles a little north¬west of this place, was first settled in 1855. At that time it was densely populated, and contained several mercantile houses, which traded largely in hides of oxen, cows, horses and wolves, who died of starvation and a few other causes, during the hard winter of '55-56. The next summer many of the people dug segoes, pigweeds, and eat bran bread to keep their bodies and souls together until the next har¬vest. '55 was a severe grasshopper year. In 1856 many of the peo¬ple of Lynne removed into Ogden City. The population of the place numbers about 300, who raise wheat, corn, barley oats, po¬tatoes, squash and a variety of fine fruits. guthrie & co. have correspondents in all directions. books, newspapers, and stationery Mrs. Julia Alexander, Keeps constantly on hand, in the post office Rooms, all the leading newspapers and periodicals of the very latest dates; together with a large and well selected stock of books, toys, fancy articles, etc., too numerous to mention. call and examine DANIEL ALEXANDER, U.
