Kaysville Kinks

• The new mayor and city council will fill their seats next Monday evening.
• Snow has taken the place of mud, and sleighs have taken the place of wagons and other vehicles.
• Thin stars and stripes floated to the breeze all day yesterday Irma the tower of the city day hall, it being the informal opening day.
• The thermometer registered 8 degrees below zero here in town this morning. Our neighbors on the north went ten better making a score of 18 below.
• A number of dogs made sad havoc among a bunch of sheep belonging to Charles Layton on Tuesday night.  The sheep, twenty-four in number, were in a yard by themselves.  During the night they were attacked by dogs.  Three were killed outright, six had to be killed, and out of the number but two escaped without injury.  This suggests the need of an ordinance requiring a heavy tax from all owners of dogs, and the strict enforcement of the same.
• The grand ball given at the informal opening of the city hall last evening was a great success.  The court room was profusely decorated. and everything that could be done had been done by the committee for the enjoyment of the guests.  The proceedings commenced with a grand march, after which the company indulged in the dance until 10:30, when Mayor Stewart delivered the informal opening address.  He gave a brief history of Kaysville from the earliest settlement until the present time, and was frequently interrupted with applause.  About 11 o’clock the company sat down to a bounteous repast prepared by the committee on refreshments, and which certainly showed the good taste and judgment of the ladies who composed it.  The remainder of the time was spent in dancing, interspersed with music, singing, recitations, etc., and continued until away in the morning.  It was a brilliant affair, and reflects credit on the various committees.  The universal verdict is it was the greatest social hit of the season.  K. KAYSVILLE, February 28.
