MORMONS.—The Warsaw (Ill) Signal says that the Mor-
mons at Nauvoo are in a state bordering on starvation, and
yet hundreds are flocking thither.
FRESHET IN THE CONNECTICUT.—The recent warm weather
and the rains have caused a very considerable rise
in the Connecticut. "On Saturday night," says the Courant,
" the water at Hartford rose about eighteen inches, and was,
on Sunday evening, sixteen feet above low-water mark. On
Monday it rose about twelve inches more. The ice above
the bridge made a move, but soon stopped again. The ice is
said to remain firm at Pratt's Ferry below. Below Rocky
Hill, some six or seven miles above Middletown, the river is
said to be open. There is little doubt that in a short time
the navigation will be open to Hartford."
PURE MILK AND RICHCREA3L—One of the blessings con-
ferred upon this city by the Erie Railroae, is the inexhaustible
supply of purest milk and cream which it for ever secures
this city at reasonable prices. In our columns to day will
be found an advertisement from the Orange County Milk
Association, to which we invite attention.

The Post-office Bill has passed in Committee of the whole,
in the House of Representatives, with only one amendment of
any consequence ; the rates are fixed at five cents. under, and
ten over, three hundred miles. This will doubtless pass the
House and be at once concurred in by the Senate.
The mail bag stolen at Albany has.been found. Part of the
letters only had been opened, and it is ascertained that none
of them contained anthing of value.

The Governor of Connecticut has appointed Friday, the
21st of March, as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer, in
that State.

In the early part of the afternoon, the four leading fa-
vourites were nominally at 20 to 1, the feeling, however,
being so decidedly in favour of Semiseria, as to leave no
doubt which was premier. Later in the day 12 to 1 was
tali( n freely about and finally 11 to 1 ; about the same time
Cataract, who at first was the worst favourite of the lot,
came into play, 13 to 1 having been taken shortly before
the room was closed, in two or three quarters. The Era and
Obscurity, for anything that passed under our observation,
were only nominally in the betting. Of the other horses in-
cluded in the list given below, Queen-of-Tyne alone made
any advance—her opening price was 40 to I—her closing
one ten points less.

the-Way winning the three events—taken

Clear- the-Wag and the Cobweb colt were the lions of the
day. The former, whose arrival in this country may be
looked for shortly, was backed for a large stake at 15 and
16 to 1, and the latter with considerable spirit at 16 to I—the
Irish horse, albeit some even money was laid, having a decided
call. 14 to 1 was laid in small sums agst Idas ; 25 to 1,
once to a pony, agst the Miss Whip colt; 30 to 1, in
fifties, two or three times agst Mentor ; 50 to 1 each,
to about 1001. agst Young Eclipse and Cabin Boy ; 1000
to 20 each agst Remorse and Fuzbos ; 3,000 to 50 apt
Lveurgus, 3,000 to 45, and 1,000 to 10 agst Devil's
Dust, and 1,000 to 15 (1,000 to 5 afterwards offered)
agst Salopian, and a few other bets of less interest. Offers
to take 20 to 1 about Pam, and 25 to 1 about Newsmonger.

OAKS.
18 to 1 was laid agst The Maid of Orleans.

The room was well attended until nearly half-past six.
Mr. Scott, whose accident was noticed last week, is pro-
nounced out of danger, and has been removed to his own
residence.
