Intelligent readers have not fallen into the Journals error of making specific application of general remarks, and no explanation is necessary.

THE uumSer of Mormons in Utah is estimated at 150,000 souls, of whom 30,*^000 pay tithing.-i to the church. Five merchants are known to pay $10,000 each (F^ in tithes.

A RUMOR has been circulated in England, on the authority of a prominent Catholic churchman, that "a very large "body" of the clergymen of the Church of

England have prepared a petition to be sent to the Council of the Va ican, the *4'C- prayer of which is that, should the decisf~'~ ion of the Council be unfavorable, as is expected, to the validity of Anglican orders, the petitioners and others of their

-r-

'.y~ body who have entered the ministry of .* ,' the English Church through religious T-Wfc' motive.-: should be recived into the Catho/lie Church, ordained as priests, employed '^,a*s such, and allowed, if married, to continue so until the death of their present wives those married not to be employed as confessors. This is a strange story, |K v"" but the authority for it is claimed to be good. It is added that many of the English Catholic bishops are favorable to the

petition, and will urge its adoption by the Pope and the Council, and that the "y signatures to the petition are numerous, and increasing daily. In relation to this statement the Chicago Republican remarks that if there is as much truth in it -as is claimed, then we will have a permanent bridge constructed be ween the

0Thc Presbyteriau Church—Tlie Ruptnre and Reunion. The history of the Presbyterian Church in this country extends over a period of -more than two hundred years, and has been intimately connected with the the.

ology, literature and morals of the land, %$as well as with the great Home and For. eign missionary movements and revivals ^5^°f the age. Eventful as its friends and ^propagandists may be disposed to regard

Jts career, in our judgment an event has -V «^now probably been consummated which, ~2'y vay of emphasis, may be termed the

:„epoch

3*\

in its history—the reunion of the

-two branches of the church commonly Tailed "Old" and "Ifew" School. A little more than thirty years ago, the*e two bands formed one family, with about two thousand ministers and two hundred thousand members. With their colleges, theological seminaries, their pro-T-V gressive spirit and ecclesiastical prestige, they had great advantages for co-opera-ting efficiently with other Protestant communions in the one grand work common to all.

In 1838 occurred the great family breach, and since that time the divided church, though adopting the same standards and discipline, has gone forward as two wings of one great army.

As to the causes of the rupture we have

[r- nothing to say. The issues which led to it t' are, we trust, dead and buried forever. The younger men in the Church were not P* actors in those belligerant days, and the older men who were, are magnanimously gA hailing the present era of union as better every way. |v

Both branches of this Presbyterian family, during the generation of separation, now happily ended, have gone forward vigorously in the prosecution of their •, appropriate work, and with such marked rite suceess that they now bring to the Pitts--'•w burg nuptials a marriage dower in Colf'f% leges, Theological schools, Ministers,

Churches, Church property, communicants and a thorough organization for practical work, more than doubling the resources of the united church thirty .years ago.

It is claimed that the present union movement, already we presume an accomplished fact, will be of great advantage to that church every way. It will wipe out what outsiders, not thoroughly posted as to its history, have regarded as an inconsistency or at leas' an anomaly— two leading denominations adopting substantially the same faith and order, yet ^palled by precisely the same name.

It will emancipate a large number of ministers who will feel at liberty to enter upon some of the new and inviting openings in the home or foreign work.

It will unite small local churches that -have been for years feebly struggling to maintain the ordinances of the religion, and make them at once self-supporting and self-propagating. It will thus substitute one church for two—where one would he better than two—and emancipate means also, now greatly needed to pnsh things" ipi,^|n regions comparatively unevangelized. -i In our own city, probably, as well as in £many other places of our State, will some ^sueli benefits, result from the movement. |K~ Besides, there will be the power of con^.^olidated, united strength. Here, by the feVway, may possibly arise »a danger to i'tf^hich our Presbyterian brethren have _not been so much exposed, the very IT Ek: strength of numbers, and the ecclesiastiLB ,\%-caT pride which insensibly grows out of

'isuch a formidable consolidation, But with a proper appreciation of this peril, betimes, with an increased and constantly increasing activity in every de- •. partment of good doing, with broad and liberal views as to the work to be done, '.and a christian co-operation with the great brotherhood of Protestant churches, this re-united family has certainly a grand future before it.

In every respect we wish them God /-A 'speed Though we claim not a prophet's ^mantle, nor any foresight whatever in "ecclesiastical matters, we can but regard this Presbyterian re-union as a happy omen of Christian Union to be consummacd ona still grander scale. AT.VK

«venings arc a&luutd wonldit jiot be "well for those who in their comfortable homes, after tlue labors of the day ar^ closed, the evening meal is finished, with boots removed, and feet encased ht easy slippers with newspaper in hand, or some book of travels, of light reading or Bolid information, or some entertaining periodical to peruse, surrounded by every comfort that wealth can command or moderate means secure with an affectionate family, hosts of relatives and friends, unlimited social* amusements, means to attend lectures &c., Ac., to remember the young men and women in our raldsts, who have no such home comforts to enjoy many of them denizens of our own city, while numbers of them are "strangers in a strange land?"

Busy all day, out of doors, in the work shop or store-room young, buoyant and active, desirous of enjoying life while young and if not cared for, liable to be led astray by the thousand and one temptations of a city, Is it any wonder they wish to escape the monotonous humdrum of a cheerless boarding house, or a comfortless home? It is useless to shut our eyes to the fact that there are hundreds of such in our city who should receive the guardian care and attention of those who are more favorably circumstanced, who are blessed by a kind Providence, "in basket and in store.'^

The soul of religion is "to go abont doing good it will not do to comfort ourselves by saying, "I am not my brothers keeper," it will not do to sit down in ease and comfort and groan over theevils of which we hear and read every day and do nothing we must awake to the necessities of of the case, arouse active minds, warm hearts, sound heads and willing hands, to devise and execute some plan, whereby these evils may be prevented, by not giving them an opportunity to start.

Now is the time to bring intoactive opetion our Library Association why have not measures been taken, to interest our citizens in this matter, so that the present time may not be lost? Whv do not the old heads (we do not wish to speak disrespectfully of those having it in hand at present-far-from it) who have it in charge, enlist young heads and active brains in the enterprise and give it a mighty shove into success? Our young mechanics and other work people, male and female, should be provided with a suite of rooms Jwhere books, periodicals, and newspapers may be read, or if desired under proper rules and regulations, taken home for perusal, another room where pastimes such as chess &c., might be provided and still another room where lectures on scientific and literary subjects, travels &c., might be delivered, to which all members of the Library Company would be admitted free, a ticket for the course or courses, being furnished on becoming members of the Company on other evenings in the same room public debates by the members, and others if deemed advisable all strictly political or religious discussions being rigidly prohibited public recitations* were and are very attractive, and would doubtless be the cause of much pleasure and improvement &c. &c.. -5

The writer, when a young man, say from seventeen to twenty-three, entered very warmly into an association of that character, and was an active member for many years he found it of incalculable benefit, not only to \iimself, but to hundreds of others, who, like him, were connected with similar associations. Some of those who were most active at that time have since become members of Congress, of the State Legislatures, Judges of the Courts, lawyers of the highest standing, and some (I can recall four) ministers of the Gospel. The genius of all these received the first impetus to struggle on until they culminated in success, from just such organizations. One of the ablest of these young men was a jeweler by trade. He joined a "Library Company," connected, I think, with afire company, became somewhat conspicuous turned his attention to the study of the law, passed a creditable examination, entered into a lucrative practice was a Judge for a number of years resigned his position, was sent to Congress, where he has been for years, and is now one of the leading men of the nation, an orator of great power, a statesman of renown, a man of commanding influence in every walk of life. Another is at the present time Mayor of one of the largest cities of the Union in the receipt of a large salary, dispensing considerable official patronage, and at the same time conducting a very lucrative business, in which he has amassed a handsome competency.

Two others, lawyers of highest standing, men of sound intellect and commanding talents, one of these was a son of an Irishman, who kept a low-grog shop and entered our association, but with slight advantages. of education wasjencouraged, and now is not only a leading lawyer, but his eloquence is considered so effective, as to be sent for, hundreds of miles from home to stump a doubtful state, in an election canvass, when the vote was very close: the side he espoused triumphing in the election, which was by the Journals imputed in a great measure, to his eloquence and the force of reasoning.

These, among many other instances, are merely mentioned, to show how in every walk of life, good may flow from these comparatively insignificant instrumentalities when rightly directed, and we hope that those who have the Library Company in charge, and who however willing, may not have the necessary time from their pressing business relations for attending properly to these vital matters, will make away open for those who may desire, to urge on and faster a movement of this kind, to take hold.

We hope that those having this matter in charge will make an effort to arouse the public to the necessity of making use of the means within our reach for so good an end. God speed the cause, is the hearty wish of an

THE FRENCH EMPRESS.

Her Arrival at Constantinople—A Brilliant Display and Magnificent Reception.

The Constantinople correspondent of the London 2few», writing on the 16th of October, describes the arrival and royal reception of the Empress Eugenie thus:

On the 13th inst., from an early hour every one was astir and the streets were filled with, perhaps, a more motley group than could be seen in any other city in the world. Men from all quarters of the globe—Franks and Turks, Persians and Greeks, Jews and Armenians, Circassians and Ethiopians—all wending their way to some spot upon the shore whence a good view might be obtained of the expected spectacle. Numerous steamers, including the Taurus and Neve, belonging to the Messageries Imperiales, started for the Marmora at 10 A. M.but the Empress did not arrive for several hours afterward.

12^

The imperial yacht Aigle passed the Dardanelles at half past one on Wednesday morning, but, strange to say, without encountering the iron-clads sent to meet her or being recognized by either the Sultanie or Forbin. On board the former was tlieGrand Vizier,while the French Embassador, M. Bouree, awaited' in the latter the arrival of his imperial mistress agination. .i

noof rbutt^rl cladfl«*and iH, were captain of the imperii hwitated to proceed furtiitr, and on and off thu point for upward hour, until at Lmgth the Sultan's the Pertevi Piale, came up and way into the BoKphorus. At two exactly, the Aigfe, with the Empress on board, passed Seraglio Point under a booming welcome from the batteries at Scutari and Tophane, and as the yacht approached Beglerbey he salutes were taken up by the heavy guns of the frigates anchored off Salihbazar and Dolmabagbtche, and from Kandili to the Maiden Tower the hills on either side exchanged their thundering echoes till the Aigle came to her moorings at the buoy placed for her special use at TchengelKeni Bay, a little above the palace.— Three thousand and thirty shots were fired. All the men-of-War, as well as also many of the foreign merchant ships in the Horn, were flag-dressed from taffrail to truck and jib-boom the fleet manned yards and simultaneously fired a royal salute as the yacht neared the Tophane while along both sides of the Bosphorus, wherever an opportunity occurred,troops were drawn up in double line, and every other availaole space was crowded with spectators. The harbor was amass of bunting, and over the British consular buildings and post-office floated the national ensign, in honor of the consort of our imperial ally.

The Aigle is a magnificent steam yacht and the double gilt cables, running round the hull a little apart from each other, form a very ornamental addition to her appearance. The tri-colored flag floated from the main, and attracted some attention from the magnificence of its embroidery. The blue and red stripes contained each fourteen bees embroidered in gold, and the white stripe eight bees, four above and four below, with the Imperial cipher also in gold on the white "ground. The cabin was decorated in white and gold, and on the quarter-deck a spacious saloon was erected, the whole evincing an amount of comfort, taste and elegance worthy of its illustrious occupant.

A considerable delay took place after the moorning of the yacht at TchengelKeni Bay before the Sultan went on board, as neither the Grand Vizier nor the French Embassador had arrived from the Dardanelles. Some of the Sultan's caiques, with the coxswains clad in green, pulled leisurely round the yacht then Raouf Pasha, first equerry of the Sultan, boarded her, but in a short time returned to the palace, when almost immediately afterward his Majesty, accompanied by the chief interpreter of the Imperial Divan, came along side in the magnificent state barge built, expressly for the Empress. Loud cheers from ths Aigle and the numerous steamers on the spot greeted the Padishaw as he mounted the port gangway ladder, and first saluting in Oriental fashion^ shook hands with his lovely guest. His Majesty wore the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honor, while his dark-blue coat was well set off by a pair of white cas hemere trousers, striped with gold. The Empress, it is no mere commonplace to say, although a little thinner than when I last saw her in Paris looked exceedingly well. She was dressed in what I believe is called a "costume," the entire robe being of one color. The dress T?as straw-color, and fitted with matchless grace yellow leather boots and a small straw-colored hat^ -with a white feather, completed her toilet. In a very few minutes ner Majesty, followed by the Sultan, descended to her barge, and, sitting side by side, they were slowly rowed by twenty caiqueges to the landing stairs of the Beglerbey Palace, where, at ten minutes to three P. M., his Majesty, stepping first on shore gave his arm to the Empress and led her into the Serai, The scene at this moment was very picturesque, as all the Ministers of the Porte and high dignitaries of the palace were in attendance the troops drawn up in a double line, paid all military honors, and the splendid band of the snltan recieved his imperial visitor with the French National air of "La Reine Hortensv." On entering the palace the Empress complimented his Majesty on the magnificent appearance of his body-guard, drawn up in the grand reception-room. They conversed together plesantly about ten minutes.

The Sultan then presented the Ministry and high functionaries of the Porte, and this ceremony concluded, His Majesty took leave of the Empress and returned to Dalmabaghtche in his own state caique, the men-of-war still manning yards and again firing an imperial salute. The delegates of the French colony, as well as the civil and military functionaries of France resident at Constantinople, were then presented to the Empress by the Count de Brissac, Her Majesty's Chamberlain, M. Bourree, the Embassador, not having yet arrived. She questioned each upon the mission with which he was intrusted, and appeared to be well informed on the subject of mines, forests, fbads and railways. The manager of the Messageries Imperiales having mentioned that he had detained the steamer for Marseilles until the following dav, (Thursday), she replied that although the sea had been very rough she had prepared all her correspondence on board, and regretted that any delay should have taken place in the mail, adding, "The interests of the public should always take precedence of ours." After the presentations, which lasted an hour and a half, the Empress retired to her private apartments, and about six o'clock reappeared in a white toilet, for the purpose of paying a visit to the Sultana Valide.

On the arrival of Her Majesty at Dalmabaghtche, she was received by the Grand Vizier at the quay of the place, the Sultan himself awaiting her on the staircase ascending to the rsception-room. His Majesty decended two steps, and then, giving his arm to the Empress, conducted her, accompained only by one maid of honor, across the throne-room to the entrance of the harem. Here the Sultana Valide (the Sultan's mother) and the Bach-Kadyn (first wife of the Sultan) received her Miyesty. There was uo one present besides Maaame Myranbey, who acied as interpreter, but Prince Joussouf Izzeddin Effedi, two little Princesses and five or six Icamadars. or confidential women of the harem. This visit over, the Empress was conducted to the dininghall, where two thrones were erected for their Majesties and a banquet of the most sumptuous description was served. The Empress sat on the right hand of the Sultan, and next to her Majesty was the Grand Vizer, Ali Pacha, who acted as interpreter. Beside the Sultan sat the French Embassador M. Bourree, and then at either side the suite of the Empress. Mustapha Fazyl Pacha, brother of the Viceroy of Egypt, was also present, as well as Kiboisli Mahemet Pacha, formerly Grand Vizier, and mustapha NaLsh Pacha, Minister without portfolio. The Ministers of the Porte present, beside the Grand Vizier, were Menemet Ruchdi Pacha, Minister of the Interior Ilussien Avni Pacha, Minister of War Mamoud Pacha, Minister of Marine, and Sadayk Tacha, Minister of Finance. After dinner coffee was served in the grand drawing-room, andj the assembled guests, having retired into another apartment, the Sultan and the Empress, with Ali Pacha still as interpreter, remained in conversation for upward of an hour. At half-past nine P. M. Her Majesty returned in the Sultan's yacht, the Pertevi Piale, to the Palace of Beglerbev, and was saluted on her passage oy a splendid exhibition of fire-works, all the men-of-war being outlined from stem to stern and from water-line to mast-head with a magnificent display of Bengal lights.

Yesterday at eleven A. M. the Sultana Valide returned the Empress, visit at Beglerbey, and in the afternoon Her Majesty visited the old Seraglio, the Mosques of St. Sophia and St. Irene, the tomb of Sdltan Mahmoud, the Bazaar, the Imper. ial Treasury and the Mosque of Sultan Selim. In the evening she dined in comparative privacv at Beglerbey, only her own suite and tlie Turkish officials attached to her service being present. Today Her Majesty was present at the procession of the Sultan going to Mosque, and she is now gone to the Sweet Waters of Asia. I have just returned from seeing the procession at Dalmabaghtche, but as the mail is on the point of starting I must reserve a description for my next letter. For the information, however, of your lady readers, I may tell you that the Empress wore a dress of pink silk, and looked, if possible, even more beautiful than even

THE MORMON IMBROGLIO. -----

The Excommunicated on Trial—The School of the Prophets—Some of the

First in the line of events was the arraignment of E. L. T. Harrison and W. S. Godbe, editors of the "<Utah Magazine>" T. B. H. Stenhouse, G. D. Watt and several others, before Brigham Young and the Twelve Apostles, on the chaige [sic] of irregular attendance at "School," &c. What took place at this meeting, however, will prove that it was not called for the object indicated above.

Stenhouse being first called to the stand and ordered to account for his misdeeds, after rising, declared, in evident trepidation, that he had always sustained Brigham Young and his system, and intended to do so hereafter. He solemnly denied having ever said a word against Brigham Young, and now promised unwavering allegiance to the prophet. This denial of Stenhouse is A LIE.

Following Mr. Stenhouse the next on the stand was G. D. Watt, who, with the former, has been for weeks grunting and complaining of the oppression and tyranny of Young. This penitent said, "I go for Brigham Young. He is the right man to lead this people, and I will sustain him. It was that damned store (Watt, Sleater & Ajax) that throwed me from the truth." After this humble confession, and promising to continue faithful to the church and its head, he sat down, feeling blessed.

Those two having completed their degrading submission, W. S. Godbe was put on trial. Brigham asked him what his views were concerning the authorities and government of the chnrch, to which Mr. Godbe manfully replied, that he did not indorse all the measures of Brigham Young, as many of them, instead of tending toward freedom, were calculated to shackle the mind, and for himself he would not and should not be chained or bound by the present church administration.

Brigham next inquired of Mr. Harrison why he wrote such seditious articles for the Utah Magazine, and to state his reasons to the "School." To which Mr. Harrison said: "The reason why I write and publish such articles is because they are true and I challenge every one to their contradiction. If any man can prove them untrue, I am willing to recant and publish no more but believing I am on the side of truth I am determined to write and publish it and risk all consequences."

This, with many other things said, raised the prophet's dander (and it takes little to do it), so taking the stand himself, he opened a tirade of abuse and blackguardism against their private character, and charging them with running after dollars and cents after having failed in their own speculations.

Here let me say that the difference between Brigham Young and Godbe is this: the former filches his money from the hard earnings of the poor, and keeps it, while the latter, by fair dealings and honesty, accumulates much substance, and with it constantly relieves the starving, sick, cold and destitute. Those creatures whose poverty is the result of that system of rapine which has made Brigham wealthy beyond all recollections of his victims. This vulgar aristocrat, under the name of tithing, steals hundreds of thousands annually from this people to be handled by him as he pleases. Can you see the difference between these two?

Among other things Brigham said that the Utah Magazine and its editor' [sic] were sneaks, and greater enemies of Mormonism than the "Nauvoo Expositor," "Valley Tan Vidette," or the Utah Republican, and he will have it stopped. He then called for the audience to vote down the magazine. Putting the vote, a number of hands were raised, and about as many were not. Of the latter, several arose in their places and declared such action "unjust," "anything but freedom," and other like expressions. Many said they liked the magazine and its principles, while others cried out that, "the Constitution of the United States garantees [sic] a free press, freedom of speetch [sic], etc., to all us."

Such talk as this, and for the first time, too, in the Tabernacle, checked the prophet and caused him to look at the chasm opening at his feet. Still chafing in his ire, he said he was willing to allow a free press so long as his administration was sustained by it—meaning of course the oppression he has so long swayed in Utah.

Seeing the division in the camp, Brigham, in great excitement, sought to dismiss the meeting in a hnrry [sic] but we went out quietly, not a few declaring that he is one of the bullies of the age when he could not have his own way in every thing.

One-half the Mormons know and feel that Brigham Young grows more and more oppressive. He works every point to fill his own pocket and grind the noses of the poor.—<Omaha Republican>. ---<>---

Sensitiveness of Deformed People, From Onco-a-Wcek.] In the Stowe-Byron controversy, reference has repeatedly been made to that deformity of the poet to which he was so nervously sensitive—his club-foot, or rather, feet. When Mr. Trelawney uncovered the corpse ot Byron, at Missolonghi, he saw that "both his feet were clubbed and withered to the knee the form and face of an Apollo, with the feet and legs of a sylvan satyr," ("Recollections.") From a note in Moore's "Life," it seems that Byron, when at Harrow, at the speech-making, spoke Latimio, and would have SpDken as Drawee, but feared the taunt, pedtbut*pte fugacibm, would derive point from his lameness. This little lame boy was already a poet and, it is a curious coincidence that his gnat contemporary, Scott—who, when Byron was at Harrow, was then about 30 years of age, and was establishing his fame as the author of the "Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border"—was also lame and. when a little lame boy, he, too, had scribbled verse, and, at Sandy-Knowe and Kelso, had found a recompense in Percy's "Reliques" for those youthful sports from which he was denied by his infirmity from participating. The poet Home pitied the child "with the withered limD," which, he thought, doomed him "to a life of inertness and mortification." Yet, Scott grew up to be a stout and sturdy walker and Byron's powers as a swimmer were almost Unsurpassed, although "one day, after a bathe, he held out hia right leg to Mn Trelawney,. saving, 1 hope this accursed limb will be knocked off iii the war.'" Scott would_ seem to have accepted his bodily infirmity with "resignation, Byron with impatience Although both these lame poets and brilliant contemporaries could use their feet, either oii the land or in the water, with such effective power.

That there are, indeed, high times among the Saints at Salt Lake City, the following extract from a communication to the Utah Semi-weekly <Reporter>, giving an account of a meeting of the School Prophets in the old Tabernacle, on the 23d ultimo, amply proves. The writer of the letter is characterized by Mr. Beadle, editor of the <Reporter>, as a man whose veracity can be implicitly relied on, and he is a member of the body whose actions he reports. The correspondent first intimates that it was wellknown [sic] in advance that the meeting would be one of more than ordinary importance, and subsequent movements prove the fact. He says:

which troubled th» lord. For Akensidl was tlM MB of a botcher at N ewaili dt-TyM aad, when he was a child, his fathers cleaver fell upon his foot and lamed him for life. Akenside, therefore, blushed with false pride, regarding hi* lameness as a perpetual reminder of his low birth. Perhaps the most remarkable ease of lameness on record is that of Archbishop Laud, who tell* us. in his diary, that he waa lamed in one ~ie biting of leg the biting of bugs." Medical knowledge has made such rapid at rides since the not very distant day when the eminent surgeon, Cheselden, said that he knew of no way to cure a club-foot and since the year 1840, when, the Orthopoedio Hospital was founded, such a deformity as that from which Lord Byron suffered hu been, in npmerous cases, removed, and in many more instances alleviated. Mechaa{ ical inventions have also been wondrously advanced, and thanks to die aid afforded by one of these ingenious devices, Mdlle.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.1N IOWA.

A Mother Murders Her Three Children with an Ax—The Father Becomes Insane Through Grief.

A correspondent, of the Chicago Evening Journal gives the following account of the murder of three children in Eden, Marshall county, Iowa, last week:

It is a painful duty which I perform, when I write you and chronicle one of the most startling, horrible and atrocious murders on record in our country. A murder, where the robber has not applied the knife for money—where neither revenge, hate, jealousy, nor so many of the general causes attributed to prompting the murder of one fellow-being by another —but love for her little ones, fear of hard times—where one of the most kind mothers of our land, one of the most loving and kind wives, has planned and carried into execution a murder long to be remembered in our community—aye, even in our whole land.

Mr. H. D. Clark and family, consisting of his wife and three children, have been living on the farm of Mr. John Guldy. Mr Clark is running a threshing machine, consequently iR only|at home a por tion of time. About 7 o'lock Tuesday morning one of Mr. Guldy's children went to the house to leave some dinner for their father, who was gathering corn on the place, and was in the habit of going to the house to eat his dinner. Upon opening this door, the child discovered the three children lying on the bed dead —two on a trundle, and the babe on large bed. The child gave the alarm ana the neighbors, upon arriving, founcl the bodies of the children still warm They had evidently been killed with an axe, which was still standing by the bed. Their heads were split open, and the scene was a most horrid and frightful one.

I arrived at the house in about twenty minutes after the alarm was given—and such a scene I pray God to deliver me from ever witnessing again. Here, oh God! too true, lay weltering in their blood three darling little children, asleep in death! Yes, dead! dead! even by the hand who had thus far reared them, and she forsaken them to take her own life!

We immediately placed the bodies in charge of a proper person, and ordered an inquest to be held at 12 o'clock noon.— The intervening time was spent in search ing the adjoining cornfields, ravines,creeks etc., for the missing wife and mother.— Messengers were also started for the husband and lather, who had left his family only the morning before, all in health— his wife seemingly happy—his darling little ones climbing upon his knees, prattling with their tiny tongues of future joys, and lavishing upon him their fond parting kisses—alas! which proved to be a final adieu—to attend to his labors— threshing about three miles distant.— Poor man! He arrived about 9 o'clock in the morning at his residence, amid relatives and friends, their host, the pride of his life, the great hope of his future, gone! gone! Sir, the very strongest heart did melt—tears were wrung from the dryest eyes, as we tendered our sympathies to the poor fellow as he lay groaning—"My poor Charlie! My dear Frank! Darling babe! O, where is my poor Mary?" in the greatest distress. May God help him in his bereavement, and, indeed, be his comforter.

The children were aged respectively three years and nine months, one year and eleven months, and three months.

The shocking affair has excited the people of the west half of this county beyond anything that has ever occurred in this region. Search has been continued day and night ever since, with no discov ei of the unfortunate mother. The theory that has possesssed everybody in that quarter is that she is insane. But there had been none of the usual indications of insanity. She had spent a portion of the preceding evening at a near neighbor's, and went home bright and happy^ She is only about twenty years of age, and is Raid to have been a pleasant and attractive woman. Acting upon the theory of insanity, all efforts to unravel the horrid mystery have been in that direction.

We have already published the return of the mother to her home, in a state of insanity.

A. J. is vainly fighting against the destiny which has laid him on tin lielf. Even the Convention bill still hangs fire, notwithstanding his generous banquet to the members of the Tennessee Legislature.

How TRUE and how strange that people should seek relief in the hieroglifics of a doctor's prescription when they can buy as good, and nine times out of ten, abetter remedy than most doctors give, for the insignificant sum of 25cts. We refer to Judson's Mountain Herb Pills, these pills cure Headache Liver Complaint, Indigestion, Female Irregularites, and all Billious disorders, they are prepared from a formula pronounced by the most learned Physicians of our country, to be the best and most universal of family medicines. Give them a fair trial and you will never be without Judson's Mountain Herb Pills. Sold by all dealers. Nov3-dwlm.
