LIGONIER, IND., THURSDAY, APRIL. 2, 1574.

The “Quaking Mountain” in Neorth Carolina. From a correspondence of the Asheville Expositor we obtain the following particulars concerning the “mountain sensation,” or volcanic disturbance in North Corolina: | The first signs of alarm in this locality were witnessed on the tenth of February, and consisted in what the people called a “terrible lumbering.” The earth seemed to “quiver” to a frightful extent. @ Some parties describe it as terrible thunder, gradually dying away in the distance; others as the roaring of heavy artillery in tbe distance. - , : > On the 12th of February; two gen‘tlemen were on the highest point of Bald Mountain, at what is known as. Harris’ View—which ig said to be next to Mitchell in height. On that day they heard this strange noise. One of the gentlemen-says it first reminded him of the falling of heavy timber, and presented a strange combination of sounds and impressions. Parties living on the mountain-sides, and at the foot, heard the same—all think that the noise was within the mountain. One man says when he was i the one side of the mountain the noise was in the direction of the mountain, and when on the opposite side the same indications were observed. All feel satisfied that the noise proceeds alone from this mountain. On the 22d of February the noise had reached such a point as to become perfectly terrible. - Among the persons living on this meuntain are Mr. Camp, Johnston Elliott, Noah Elliott, Widow Nanny, George Morgan, James Gilbert, and others. From the statements of all these parties, and perhaps fifty othersr,,] the ‘mountain was actually “shaking,” the moving was like the entire mountain was giving away, the table-ware and furniture in the houses rocking and jolting with frightful force. One man, riding on horseback, says his horse became fearfully frightened, and it is said that the cattle have become alarmed and wandered from their usual range. '

Such was the alarm that about 12 o’clock at night on the 22d the people for miles around began to assemble at a man’s house by the name of Camp. And Camp, having gone to the woodpile for wood, became 80 alarmed that. he fell upon his knees and began to pray aloud. Soon the terrible “quaking” of the mountain was such; that the great crowd now assembleﬁ engaged in prayer. At daybreak on Monday morning of the 25th, George Logan, a colored Baptist preacher, was sent for in great haste, and so impatient were they for his arrival that a portion of the crowd met him on the road, beseeching him to come and pray and preach. The people thus assembled remained in these devotions for three days, when they moved a short distance to a vacant house. . About the third day Billy Logan, a white man and Baptist minister, was sent for, who came immediately. On March 3d, Rev. J. M. Lumly, the Methodist minister in charge of the Broad River Mission, was importuneéd to attend and preach, who promptly complied. From an eye witness, the scenes are described as most strange and extraordinary. The people came flocking in crowds of fifteen or twenty, including men, women and children, all presenting the most terrible state of fear, despair, and penitence. e * On the day Mr. Lumley preached, the house was literally packed, the preacher barely having room to stand ; so great was the rush to hear, that many rushed up the side of the walls and crowded on the joists above—only a portion of the upper story having a floor.: ‘

‘The portion having the floor was filled, thus forming a sort of gallery; and many not being able to enter the house, crowded their heads in at the door and all around the house manifesting the most intense interest.— ‘When the call was made for mourners, the people rushed from all .parts of the house and from outside of the house with almost frantic yells, and upon each other, all praying and supplicating in the most heartfelt and agonizing manner ever witnessed on earth. :

During this time the people all lived in common—no ‘attention was given to labor or property—cattle, horses and hogs were turned to the woods, and the entire population within the range of this awful excitement have concluded that they have but a few days tolive. About one hundred have made profession of religion. The closing scenes of this strange meeting are represented as most peculiar and wonderful. . During the most of this period of sixteen days the mountain had continued at intetvals to present the same alarming impressions. But having prayed, shouted, sung, and agonized for this long .period, they separated with the promise that all would remain and die if necessary. It is said that the awe-stricken countenances, the melancholy demeanor of the vast crowd on the breaking up of the devotions, are beyond all description.

In these excited devotions it seems that all became perfectly resigned to what seemed an inevitable fate, All past differences were forgotten, 'anﬁ mutual amnesty seemed to be the universal feeling. One old woman, a strong Baptist in her religious opinions, cried out to Brother Lumley, the Methodist minister, “Now is the time to unite, as we are all soon to go to the Judgment.” . - It will be proper to remark that many of these people were not, heretofore, in the '‘habit of attending church; they lived in the utmost disregard of the Sabbath, and havegiven but little attention to education. Whatever may be the nature of this terrible “quaking mountain,” it is certain that the effect upon the people has been the most wonderful on record.

As I write, the excitement is not so great, but all are fearfully apprehensive of some terrible calamit{. A dispat¢ch to the Raleigh (N. C.) Daily News, dated March 26th, is to the effect that “the shocks on Stone Mountain were more violent last night than at any time since the commencement of the voleanic disturbance.”

: ‘A Lesson for Testators. While there is a certain superficial effect of beneficence in the idea of a generous rich man’s division of his wealth amongst his heirs during his declining lifetime, average experience does not approve the plan; nor are there happier results on record to fa--vor a testator’s communication of the contents of his will to the persons concerned before death has consecrated his designs in the document to irrevocable observance. If the good old way of managing such things is not actually a dictate of natural law its immemorial practice has so adapted human nature\to its condition that ~any radical departure therefrom is pretty sure to work more evil than good. A significant illustration of what is obviously an injudicious course in the matter appears in the testamentary story of a wealthy farmer named Daniel Vliet, lately resident near Hope, in New Jersey; who about twelve years ago, after duly composing and signing his will and depositing it for security with an old neighbor and marriage relative named Samuel Albertson, allowed his| heirs to become aware of the apportion~ments of the paper. As his three daughters were all married to hus‘bands in good circumstances, he had left them but $3,000 each, while to his two sons were bequeathed the resiilue of his personal property, amounting to some $15,000, and all his real estate save a life interest for the widow.— Parental testaments are very apt to discriminate in their way between sons and comfortably married daughters; and married daughters and their husbands are as apt- to' deem themselves grievously wronged thereby. Hence, for several years, Farmer Vliet must have had reason to regret that he had not kept his own counsel in the affair; and had about his death- | bed, in February of 1869, an element of filial discontent which might as well have been at least deferred.— When the time came for the reading of the will, and Mr. Samuel Albertson produced the large, sealed ' envelope from his desk, in which it had been locked for eight years, he and the agsembled heirs were utterly astounded to discover that the inclosure was only a sheet of perfectly blank paper. It was impossible to believe that any such epigrammatic device had been sealed up by the departed testator. It was impossible to doubt the good faith of the almost paralyzed Albertson. And the only rational inference was that the true document had been feloniously abstracted by some interested person. . Suspicion . wavered among the daughters and their husbands, as a matter of course, since it was to their benefit that the apparent imtestacy accrued; but no individuality of guilt could be traced, and, after two years of litigation, the brothers were obliged to compromise - with their sisters by the payment to the latter of over $20,000. At last; however, as related by the Warren Journal, a recent-quarrel between - a son of Mr. Albertson and a dissipated “associate has induced the revelation - that the former was hired several years ago, for-$2,500, by two of Farmer Vliet’s sons-in-law, to steal the will from his father’s desk and substitute the blank paper in its place. Being betrayed for revenge by the incensed comrade whom he had made a confidant of his shame, young Albertson confessed his guilt as above desecribed, and the éffect will probably be a redistribution of the inheritance more in accordance with the design of the testator. The case does not show, of course, that a will left to tell its own story after the maker’s death might not have caused heartburnings and litigation, but it illustrates at any rate the indiscretion of giving such unhallowed vexations occasion to begin years befofe their usual time, and putting into mercenary minds a tempta‘tion to disregard all considerations of honor and common filial respect for the sake of defeating intentions which had far better have. been reserved from their premature cognizances. If money must always be the root of all evil let it at least be kept free from untimely fructification. & i

Dust to Dust —How the Grangers ! ' Bury their Dead. . [Fiom the Savannah Times.]

The first burial of a member of the Patrons of Husbandry with the honors of the order that has'came to our notice, took place a few days ago in Kickapoo, when the remains of Henry Bolen were consigned to their last resting place with all the pomp and funeral pageant of the Granger burial service. Mr. Bolen was a prominent member, and the attendance was very large, some 400 persons being. present. The programme of the burial was about as follows:

.. On leaving the residence of the deceased, the hearse which contained the remains was flanked on either side by three pall-bearers, who walked with uncovered heads and regalia draped in mourning. Following the hearse came the relatives of the deceased, and next marched the Sisters of the order, clad in full regalia. The Brothers came next, and following them the vast concourse of people who had come from far and near to witness the ceremonies. The remains were first taken to . the churgh, where a priest went through a service peculiar to a Catholic -Church, of which the deceased was a member. - When the exercises here had been conclu%ed, the procession took up its march for the cemetery where the Granger funeral rites were performed. The coffin was placed on supports directly over the open grave and remained there till the impressive and interesting service was concluded: G. B. Coffin, Master of the Fraqklin Grange, conducted the ceremonies. ;

When the brothers and sisters of the. Grange of which the deceased was a member had assembled about the rave, the Master read a selection grom the burial ritual, followed by a econd selection by the Chaplain, and ‘then the members repeated slowly and olemly the Lord’s prayer,closing with beautiful and appropriate hymn.— he brothers of the order then stepped o the grave and threw into the openng several boquets of flowers and evergreens. A short but powerful address was next delivered by the Chaplain. While the coffin was being lowered, a beautiful and soul-inspiring hymn was sung, and during the singing the sisters showered boquets of flowers upon the descending coffin until it reached the wooden box at the bottom of the grave. The Master then }spxinkled ‘a portion of dirt thrown {from the ft&ye over the eoffin, and the service closed with the solemn benediction of the Chaplain. ' Taken throughout, the ceremonies werés very beautiful and impressive. This is the-first burial of a Granger in the county, and if we are correctly informed, in the State—that is with the | ceremonies of the order.

A Jewish View of the Temperaﬂxce Movement. e 3 [From the Jowish Times, of New York.) ‘When Professor Tyndall made his famous proposition of testing the efiicacy of prayer, he had probably no idea that a solution would be offered by a number of American ladies, demonstrating, in the most positive manner, that prayer is of practical value. We doubt, however, whether the persons ‘who are the subjects of solicitation feel very. much elated at the peculiar application of that divine instrument; we fear their notions of' prayer will not be of the most elevated nature. They must feel like victims, and prayer to them. cannot appear in the garb of a divine institution. There is a divine injunction which says: “Thou shalt not use the name of the Lord in vain.” These extemporized meetings in grog-shops and beer saloons may for a time have the effect of praying a few people out of their occupation, but will in the end bring contempt and contumely upon religion and the cause which these probably well-intentioned people represent. ‘ .

The Jews, who 80 firmly keep their eyes closed against the benefit, the enlightenment, the advanced morality of Christianity, have never had any need of temperance meetings; of being converted from drunkenness to sobriety. They indulge in' drinking; they enjoy the things that God has provided so bountifully for His creatures; but, as a class, they never ahuse them ; they kegp within proper bounds, and, without indulging in any cant, they observe the practical injunction of religion. They never lose their self-respect; hence they do not bring themselves into a condition of degradation and humiliation. = The Germans, they too drink; they enjoy their lager and their wine; they do itin the presence of their wives and daughters; they never enacted any prohibitory laws, and needed no special legislation looking to the suppression of drunkenness; and, newvertheless, a drunken man in Germany, athong the beer-con-suming Teutons, is a rara avis. |

We admit that some of the Christian people, pillarg of the Church, are vietims of that dreadful passion; but the religious effort in: that direction will have no lasting effect, You cannot abolish the traffic in articles which nature has provided as things to be enjoyed; but what you can do is to abolish the barrier which sends the husband, the son, the brother, away from his wife, mother, sister, if he wishes to enjoy the luxury of a stimulus. 'The women who, in our opinion, degrade themselves by -becoming -the tools of cunning temperance apostles, should accompany the members of their families when they go into society; should: be present when the wine-bottle is opened; should share their company in the beer-garden ; and the remedy will be offered for an evil which requires energetic efforts in order to suppress its ravages. Your husband, your son. your brother, will not get intoxicated in your presence; therefore, do not withdraw yourself. Reform your social habits of exclusiveness and a false pride, and you will reform the habits of those you love. And, above all, do not pray too much, but give part of the day to recreative, to social enjoyment, and you will remove the necessity of the barroom and the drinking saloon. “Wing gladdens the heart. of man,” says the Psalmist; and he knew as much as you do what is proper and permissible. We are sorry to see religion brought into contempt by this new feature of American charlatanism. * It is on par with that of the Constitution mongers. R e TU R : Traveling Sharpers.

Traveling sharpers have been perambulating through LaPorte county selling the confiding farmers goods by sample, cheaper than they could lie bought of the home “middleman.”— When the goods arrived, (if pay had been received in advance, they would not have been received at all,) they: were not as represented, whereupon the -LaPorte Herald delivers the following lecture, which will apply in ‘other localities: “\We may be wrong, but we have a decided and almostjobstinatenotion that it is best, in ninetynine cases out of hundred, for our people in buying, to deal with our home houses; 'that they ought, at least, to be very shy and slow about giving their -orders to those traveling bummers of whom they know nothing. - ‘lt is not at all probable that these carpet-bag agents can sell you any article more cheaply than you can purchase it of our merchants. These canvassers abound in fair promises and plausible offers—they are sharp as serpents, and their tongues drop honey. But whoever trusts to them is apt to get bitten. We refer particularly to those gay rovers who sail from farm-house to farmhouse, selling goods by sample, the same to be sent “C. 0. D.” Thehonest yeoman who pays the expressage to find that the contents of the package, box, etc., do not correspond with the “sample” will begin to realize how deceitful was the dark-eyed stranger, and how much better, more satisfactory it is to trade with one whom 'he knows lives in our midst, who is perfectly responsible, and who has every motive for dealing on the square with every one. And it is certainly but just, fair and decent, that our citizens before giving their patronage to out-siders “and strangers, should be sure that they are getting better figures than they offered at home. And inthisconnection we take leave to express our conviection that all the necessaries of life, (staple dry goods, groceries, boots and shoes, ete.,) are to-day sold by our own dealers on the shortest profits—at the lowest living prices. * Patronize them.” . The True Temperance Reform. We suggested a temperance reformation on the plan of the old Washingtonian system—to dry -up saloons by inducing people to stop drinking.' The Bourbon Mirror thinks our whole ar‘gument ungound. There is where we differ. Saloon business is engaged in like any other business,to make money. When it ceases to be a money making business people will not engage lin it. Cut off customers of saloons and there - would be no saloons, hence the women crusaders are turning their attention that way. Itis aga.i‘na.ttheklaw to sell to. minors, a fact which our friend overlooks. But parents who suffer children tohang around saloons are more culpable than saloon men, and _stand -in need of law and gospel just as much, if not more. The reference to our Lord’s prayer is of no force in this connection. God leads no one into temptation. - As long: as liquor is manufactured and drank, liquor stores, wholesale and retail, are necessary consequences. You may curtail the ‘number of liquor stores, but you only inerease t_;hb‘groﬁts by monopoly of the business in the hands of the few, Stop off the demand and you stop off the ‘business.—Goshen Democrat.
