There is no ttle excitement on account of an encamp ent of Mormons within a few miles of arthage. The encampment is 250 or 10 strong, and the men are said to be a. med. The Carthagians are in the dark as to the object 4 - ,f the encampment. The Mormons say they are there by the au thority of the Governor. Near the Mor mon encampment is a force of Indians, and their purpose is also unknown. It is supposed, however, that a little soap and water would take most of the Indian oll'of them." It is estimated that the late Mormon troubles will cost the State of Illinois not less than $20,000, and that the last year's expenses from the same cause will not, in the aggregate, fall short of $50,000.

Criswell & Co's. Forge, late on last Thursday night, and deliberately went to work and made a "bon fire" of all the combustibles he could gather; and when discovered, which was only it, time to save the building from being wrapt in flames, he was standing by apparently de lighted with the blazing fire I—Waynes burg Herald. Courtsnip of a Bashful Clergyman.— The Rev. John Brown, of Haddington, the well known author of the Self-Inter preting Bible, was a man of singular bashfulness. In token of the truth of this statement, I need only stale that his courtship lasted seven years. Six years and a half passed away, and the Rev. gentleman had got no further forward than he had been the first six days.— This state of things became intolerable; a step in advance must be made, and Mr. Brown summoned all his courage for the deed. " Janet," said he, as they sat one night in solemn silence," we've been acquainted now for six years an' mair, and I've ne'er gotten a kiss yet; d'ye think I might take one, ma bonnie girl?" "Just as you like, John, only be becoming and proper wi'it." "Surely Janet, we'll ask a blessing. The blessing was asked —the kiss was taken, and the worthy divine, perfectly overpowered with the blissful sensation. most rapturously exclaimed : "0, woman ! But it is pule—we'll return thanks." 85 Six months made the pious couple man and wife, and, added his descendant, who humouruusly told the tale, a happier couple never spent a long and useful life together. The Perfection of Pocket-Picking.— A few days ago a lady, travelling by one of the numerous oninibusses between Liverpool and the village of Waterloo, got seated beside a member of the swell mob, equipped for his vocation with a cloak, and a false pair of hands, the lat. ter being demurely folded before him.— While he thus appeared to be sitting, as harmless as a lamb, he was busily enga. ged in cutting through the lady's apparel to get at her pocket, from which he suc ceeded in extracting her purse containing six sovereigns. A Royal Letter.—The letter A is in a fair way to be dubbed right Royal. Her Majesty's first Christian name is Alex andria, her husband's Albert, and their fear children are called Adelaide, Albert Alice, and Alfred. ELECTIORRETURNS, For Governor. Per President.

A gentleman from Albion states that about 8 o'clock in the morning, while he was at breakfast, something seemed to strike the side of the house, Jarring it all over, rattling the dishes on the table.-- The sound then passed on with a deep rumbling noise like a car passing over a rail road. At the west end of the town, %large brick house was cracked thro' in the cen tre,and some of the stones in the abutments of the canal fell out. Mr. Follet, assis• tant postmaster at Batavia. says the shock was felt there at 7 minutes past 8, and lasted about two seconds. A gentleman from Elba estimates the duration of the shock in that place at half a minute, and describes it as hard enough to jar open several doors. It came apparently from the Southwest, and passed to the North east. The Slanderer.—The Louisville Jour nal states that Gen. J. M. McCalla, the author of the late foul slanders against Mr. Clay, in regard to gambling, &c., ..re cently made application to the session of the First Presbyterian Church of Lex ington, of which he was an elder, for a certificate of good moral character. The session unhesitatingly refused to give him such a certificate. Thereupon, he with drew in all haste from the church, well knowing that he would otherwise be im mediately expelled. The following paragraph we find in the Pittsburg American of the 24th ult. We hope to see some explanation of the mat ter if there is error in the information. A MOST UNWARRANTABLE TRANSA OTION. —At the last term of the U.S. Court, a man named 'rod, we believe, from Beaver county, was convicted, and sentenced for a term of years to the Penitentiary, for passing counterfeit coin.—A short time since, a person conducted in a carriage, owned by a gentleman in this city, arri ved at the Penitentiary and produced a pardon from Governor Porter fur the said Tod. The keeper of the prison without reflecting that the Governor had no right of visitation in the matter, released his prisoner• We understand that an inves tigation of this strange matter is going on. G. W. Henderson, charged with be longing to the gang of Toil, was yester day convicted for the same offence. If he is a good Locoloco, and attached to the Durr principles, of the largest liberty, he will no doubt be soon clear also of all the mobiles of old father antic, the law. 1891 5743 527 2172 2989 8775 456 s 5251 , 26091 8083 2792 3147 4001 3:235 4864 137 4088 2200 1089 10297 2636 2553 2771 2012 What a chapter fur contemplation the election of James K.

Providence Theatre Burned. The Providence Theatre was consumed on Friday morning. The fire broke • out about 1 o'clock. The building had been occupied the evening previous by Dr. Lardner, who delivered there the last of his course of scientific lectures. Beside the scenery and fixtures of the Theatre, all Dr. Lard ner's philosophical apparatus, including the great microscope, and a splehdid collection of paintings, worth to gether $l5OO, was consumed, and we un derstand the Dr. had effected no insurance on the property. The planetarium con structed by Mr. Russell, of Ohio, with the labor of twenty years was also burned. The value is said to have been $12,000, and it was insured for $B,OOO, at an office in Hartford Ct. It belonged to Messrs. Haswell and Robinson, who are said to have lust, in addition to the planetarium, $2OOO worth of Philosophical apparatus. APPLE, Scions of an apple tree have been re ceived , says the Boston Cultivator, front Ticonderoga, N. Y., where alone it is propagated, bearing a kind ot apple which has neither core nor seeds ! The origin was as follows: The top of a young tree was bent over and covered with earth, which took root. The tree was then cut asunder, which stopped all connection with the natural root of the tree, and, by sprouts which sprung from the top por tion of the body, a regular top was formed, which produces this fine fruit—a beauti ful red, good size, very pleasant table apple in the fall. Drowned. A boy named Stephens, about 14 years old, and a girl named Bucher aged about 16, were drowned by the sinking of a skiff in a dam on Aughwick Creek, in Crum- well township on Sunday night last. Ten persons were in the skill on their return from preaching at the time of the accident, eight of whom barely escaped with their lives, nearly all being unable to swim.— The bodies of the drowned were recovered on Monday morning.—Globe of 6th inst.
