Return From Missions.

We are much pleased to notice among us again Elders Orson Pratt and Erastus Snow of the quorum of the Twelve. They arrived here on Friday afternoon in excellent health and wear cheerful countenances which make us feel that they are glad to be "home again" among their friends where peace and righteousness prevail. Elder Snow spoke in the Bowery on Sunday morning, and Elder Pratt spoke in the afternoon relating to their recent experience in the Eastern States and their labors in gathering up the poor.

Captain Joseph W. Young came in ahead of the church trains, spent a few days with his family and returned again on Monday morning to meet his train.
