' Artmtrt to Bkkak Jail. On lact Thursday
afternoon, whilst the Sheriff' was in attendance
at the Court House, the prisoners in our conn- !
ty Jail made an attempt to break out. They
Succeeded in divesting themselves of nearly
all their "jewelry" and doubtless would hare
"effected their escape if they bad not been op- j
portnnely discovered.
Our jail is a poor concern, and it is a matter
f surprise to us that prisoners can be kept in
It at all. It Is a waste of money to fix it np.
What is needed is a new prison.
... Aowis the Time to Advertise. In dull
aeasons, what little trade is going on adverti
sers get, and whilst others are grumbling they
Pjr meir fit, ana wiin me newspaper as a
life preserver, swim on the top of the water,
whilst others are sinking around. The neces
sity of advertising is the more manifest now,
because thus only can good trade be secured.
Temperakck Meeting. A spirited tempe

Monday evening, which was addresscdby Rev.
Thos. Bamhart, Dr. Jeffries, John M.Chase

with which a number of ladies and gentlemen
favored the meeting.

KYSTERIES OFHOEHCNISM.
Elder John Hyde, Jr.. a recantincr Mormon,
delivered " a lecture in Philadelphia.' a short
time since on Mormonism. from which we
e the followiug extract, taken , from the
Inquirer ; Young's satellites all contribute to
ins exultation. .. Kimball, says that we cannot
see God, but he has given us a man to whom
wc can speak to as God. I will risk, says he,
my soul's salvation in the hands of Brigham
Young. It is terrible that such a doctrine
should be taught. " It is yet more terrible that
such a doctrine should be believed, 1 et
thousands of young persons are now growing
up in it. . Seme times there is a little oppo
sition to the authority of Biigham. . lie soon
arranges all difficulties. The rcbtlTfftns one is
sent abroad to disseminate the system, and
thus what would have been the means of wea
kening Young at home becomes an instrument
of strengthening him abroad. Biigham has
twenty wives, and has charge of the widows
of Joseph Smith.
Brigham Young is the Ignatius Loyola of
Mormonism. The points of resemblance be
tween Young and Loyola as developed in their
respective systems were here shown. x.acli
adopted a secret form for the guidance and
control of his followers, as has been adopted
by different political and religious bodies, but
never has this form been so prostituted as
with the Jesuit and the Mormon. The Mys
teries of Mormonism through which the novice
is conducted were then revealed. They con
sist of ceremonies at once awful and absurd
The neophvte is conducted into a room and
stripped naked and a name is whispered lu Ins
ear,whicli he is to remember at the peril of his
sours salvation. , In another room he is cloth
ed with a robe which makes him look half
like a Brahmin and hall like a Jewish priest
In an adjoinin; room a dramatic blasphemy
goes on. tiou is personated, lue incidents
of Genesis the Creation, the Oarden of r-uen.
the appearance of Satan, Ike, are represented.
The initiate then performs the circuit oi four
other rooms. Covenanting and vowing, a3 he
goes. In one, he ; swears to chastity ; in a
pother, polygamy is accorded with the sane
tion of Brigham xonng; in the third, a ter
rible abjuration of secrecy is administered;
the awful preparation for the fourth, where
amidst horrible surroundings the initiate is
sworn to eternal enmity to the United Stales of
America ! This is the "Mormonhndowment,
through which fifty thousand of our fellow
creatures have passed. All that I hold most
dear ou earth still cling to this horrible sys
tern. My wife and child remain at Salt Lake.
Mv wife has been forced, bv her devotion to
these things, to forego even her heart's strong
yearnings, and utter prayers w hich shape them
selves into curses! borne of you, continued
the speaker, mav have come here to gratify an
idle curiosity. I do not come here to pander
to a prurient taste, but to teach you what Mor
monism is.
Mammoth Forest. From the CaliJorniaFar-
mer we learn that a grove oi mum mom trees
has been discovered in Yosemite valley. The
first tree that was measured was eighty feet in
circumference three and a half feet from the
ground; another tree was ninety feet in cir
cumference at the same distance from the
ground, while close to the roots it was one
hundred and two feet ronnd it, and it was three
hundred feet high. The number of trees
measured was one hundred and fiitv-five, and
they are about half the group ; none were less
than fortv feet in circumference, and there
were one hundred over fifty feet. The largest
tree now lies upon the ground ; it is charred,
and its heavy bark is gone, and yet it measures
thirty-three feet in diameter, or one hundred
feet in circumference, and must have been
four hundred feet high. The Fanner con
cludes by saying : "This we believe to be the
1 irrest tree vet discovered : and tins forest
we claim as the Tarent Forest of the world."
"Inmax Simmi-r". Origin of the Term.
The early settlers of Aew r.ngland were
surprised and gratified to find that, after the
first killing frosts ot Autumn, a period inter
vened between that and Winter, of mild, smo
ky, pleasmt weather ,which soon obtained the
name of Indian Summer, from the tact that
the natural indolence of the Indian character
led them to defer until this period the work of
Summer such as harvesting their corn and
vegetables, ana getting mils, or putting up
hav. and eeneral preparations for Wiuter.
Hence the name.

COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY.
FOR TUECTRE OF
Bronchial affections.Coughs, Colds, Pleurisy, Eroa
cbitis, Asthma, and all other diseases of the tbroa
and lungs, except Consumption. This invaluable
remedy is no quack nostrum, but is prepared from
the recipe of a regular physician, who during a
practice of twenty-live years, used it with unpar
alleled success. It is a combination of expecto
rant remedies, simple in their character and nsed
by every educated physician. Itia easily taken,
produces no nausea or other dioagreeablo effects,
and gives almost iuimediuto relief. In this ever
changing climate, where coughs and colds so fre
quently end in consumption iind death, no family
should he without this certain citre.
It would be easy to follow in thewakeof the ven
ders of patent medicine, and multiply certificates
got up for the occasion, of miraculous cures, but no
sueh adventitious aid is necessary in introducing
this preparation to the public. . Jts real value, and
never failing success, in accomplishing all promis
ed for it, cannot but give it a wido circulation, and
recommend it to all those afflicted with diseases for
which it is a remody. Pries 37i Cents per Hot tie.
