Tha Horror of MlllcrlsM
Trial or lenata Daoj. -We leiwn
report l' die trial oft wan who it termed El
der Dammon, it Dover in thi Stale, commen
cing the ITtli ult., before Moses Sweat and Si-Hi
J.ec, E-qr. The trial devolopes mot chuck
ing particular?, and convinces u morn fully
than before, tliat town end city authorities should
interfere and arrt these sensual and demurs I
izing proceedings Tlipy are as bad as the
worjt days of that arch rcoundrel and fanatic,
Cochran, who "led illy women captive," and
despoiled the domestic peace of many a peace
ful and respectable family. A part of the evi
dence we have omitted, il being too gross fur
publication.
Damrnon was charged with being a vagabond,
common railer and brawler, neglecting in
support his family, &.C. He plead not puil' v,
and numerous witnesses were examined during
the time ofthe trial, which lasted two day,
borne of the witnesses testified that they saw
nothing at the meetings improper, andnthers
detailed whnt they saw showing thut the con
duct of prisoner and hia associates was abomina
ble. To this point Mr. J. W. E Harvey teeti
fled that he had attended their meetings two
days and fjnr evenings. Firit meeting lusted
eight days; hive known Dammon six weeks;
Dammon, White and Hall were leaders. Dim
nion aaid the sinners were going to hell in two
days. They were hugging aiid kissing each o
ther; Dammon would lay on the floor, then
jump up ; they would frequently go into ano
ther room. Dammon haa no means to support
himself that t know of. The meeting appear
ed very irreligious ; have seen him ait on the
floor with a woman, his arms around her. The
room they went into was a back r,om ; don't
know what was in it ; I was in two rooms where
there was a fire. In the back room they said
the world's people must not go. Dammon said
the meeting was to bo a private meeting, and
they wanted no one to come in unless they be
lieved ss he did in the advent doctrine. I did
go to them ; I went to satisfy myself what was
done. I had no hostile feelings against them.
I'risnner lived on his followers.
Wm. C. Crosby, Esq , teutified. He was at
the meeting on Saturday night, from about 7 to
9 o'clock. There was a woman on the floor
who lay on her back with a pillow under her
head ; she would occasionally arouse up and tell
vision which the aaid was revealed to her.
They would at timea all be talking at once, hal
lowing at the top c: their voices ; some of them
raid there was too much sin there. After the
cessation ofthe noibe, Dammon got up and wa
more coherent ; he complained of thoeu llmt
came there who did not believe in the advent
doctrine. At one time Dammon said there were
hogs there, not belonging to the band, and poin
ted at him and said, t mean you nr. Subse
quently he addressed him again ; aaid you can't
drive us out of the town ; he stared him in the
face and 6aid, I am an honest man, or I could
not look you in the face, and you have hell's
"brass or you could not look me in the face.
Dammon ea id if he was owner of the house, he
would compel all unbelievers to leave it ; they
were sitting and laying on the floor promii-cu-rusiy,
and were exceedingly noisy. By spells
it was the noisiest I ever attended. Ho had
een them in groups hugffing and kissing each
other. Oiice saw elder Hall with his boots off,
and thn women would go and kiss his feet. One
girl made a smack but did not kit his foot with
her lips. Hall aaid, "He that is ashamed of me
before men, him will I beafhamed of before my
father and the holy angcla." She then gave
his feet a number of kisses.
Loton Lambert testified that he attended a
meeting one evening lately, and that Dammon
was very abusive ; called all other dsnomina
tinna liars, murderers, &c. A woman was pre
sent who pretended to have visions, and who
waa blasphemously called the Imitation of
Christ. She was said to be from Portland. Her
name waa Ellen Harmon. She told Mr. Wood
bury she must be baptized or go to lull. Mrs.
V. concluded to be baptized. A Miss Dorin
da Biker, of Orringlon figured largely. She
told Lambert he waa the devil and would goto
bell. She subsequently wcot into the bed
room with a man whom they called Elder
White, and when they came out were hugging
each other. Miss D-tkur then went to one
D xire. and they kissed each other. This night
they went to the water and baptized. The vi
ionibt, Miss llar.iKin, lying on the floor several
hour from 7 to 1 o'clock that night. Tart of
te time Dammon lay on the floor on his back, i
Elder White said if the Almighty hud any thing
to reveal, ho revealed it to Miaa II. He acted
as mediator.
Deacon Jainei Rowe testified thai prieoncr
stood and said, while 1 stand here, men nor de
vils eannot hurt you. He had known him for
twenty or thirty years, and his character waa
good till recently.
Much other testimony was received, pro and
eon, of a similar character, and the prisoner o- i
pened his defence, lie cited Luke 7, 36; Jnhn

A Man Klllnl by on Klehant.
The large male elephant belonging to Hop
kins & Co.'s mnnacerie at Baton Rouge, la.,
on the 6th inxl , killed the person who had been
employed for a long time to take charge of him.
It appears thut the two rlephanla and a camel
had been sent in advance of tho other animals,
en route for Clinton, tho female elephant and
the cnmel chained together. When about four
milea from Baton Roiiee, the male elephant re
fused to cross a wain II bridge, and the korper,
who was on foot, procured a horse, (one which
the elephat was m t accustomed to) for the pur
pose of driving it over, and in attempting to
mount, the horse t-hyei', and threw the man in
the road. Tim elephant immediately rushed
upon him, caught him upon its tusk?, and threw
him forty or fitiy teet in the air, which was re
peated a great number of times, the tusks fre
quently paosin? through his body. It then car
ried the body from the road towards thn woods,
toftsing it in lh air at intervals, until it fell be
tween two fallen trees, which saved il from fur
ther violence.
The infuriated animal then returned to the
road, where the female elephant and camel had
been chained to a tree by another kecer, and
rushed upon them, his tusks passing through
the camel, knocking down the female and break
ing the chain in two. The enrnged animal then
made off toward the wooda, carrying the camel
by its trunk, and throwing it at intervals in the
air with iia tusks. The oi her portion oftheca
ravan now coming to the bi idge, the elephant
returned and made demonstiitiotia of an attack
upon it, when fire.jrms were brought into re
quisition. A number of shots were fired upon
i, but without any cflect. Wotd as then sent
to the U. S. garrison, and some thirty or forty
of the soldiers were sent to despatch it with
their muskets. The neighbors also turned nut
with their rifles and shot gun, and some fifty
or six'y shots were fired into or rather upon him,
for the balls here frequently flattened noon stri
king, and fell to the ground. At length it was
determined upon to sr nd to tin garrison for a
field piece to despatch him, when o-ie of the
keepers procuring a spear, mounted a hors wand
succeeded in wounding the elephant until he
caused it to tcresm with pain and finally to
yield to subjection, when it was driven nfl with
the balnnce of the animals. This is the aime
animal which killed one r.f its keepers, some
two or three years ago, at Algiers, I., and was
only stayed from further nrschief aftf r fourteen
shots had been fired into it.

E7" U. S. Sknaior. We announced in our

(Ej The Lancaster Intelligencer and Ponn-1
sy Iranian have ears launched forth brutumful
mm against Gen. Cameroai and the Democratic
members who voted fat him as IT. 9. Senator.
The Harrisburg coi respondent of tho Intelligen

treat them with that severity they seem to do
jcrve," and stigmatises them as traitors, who
hove disgraced themselves and the party. W
presume these members, w ho are among the most
independent demorats in the legislature, will not
feci themselves entirely annihilated under the
effects of this thander. Messrs. Bright, Morton
and Kyer have acted in accordance with the wish

op Chaste in a lately published letter pives the
following account of a marriage service per
fotmed by him whilst sailing recently on the
Ohio river.
On Tuesday, says the Rishop, I proceeded
down the Ohio river, and a very long strerm it
proves to be, navigation more than a thousand
milea from Pittsburg to its mouth, pouring its
pure waters into the muddy Mississippi. How
sweetly did we glide down its placid current,
the weather mild ard the company good.
Relow Sliawncetown, a license was t-hown
me by some one who had been on shore, from
the Court at Klizabethtown, (Illinois) to marry
a couple who were on board. rinding, after
due examination, all things lawful and correct.
I perlormed this holy rite. It would have done
your hearts good to witness the Fnlemnity per
vading the whole assembly of cabin p.issengers
while they beheld the heart searching matrimo
nial service ofthe Church. Scarcely a person
cm boird had ever seen it performed before, be
ing accustomed to marriages performed by Jus
tices ofthe Peace. In this im-tnnce. being so
requested, they all kneeled down und Feerr.cd
to join in the prny rs, and with the minister im
plored a blessing on the newly married couple.
