WONDERS WILL NEVER CEASE.

A curious memorial has been received by the Pres
ldent OF the Senate, from Mr. Crane, of Ohio, who
calls himself the brother of our Saviour and who sets
forth that he has descended ineally from David =
that he has made his appearance in this country for
the purpose of resuming his temporal authority
while his brother, now living in Ohio the real Christ
mas appeared to call his people together. He calls
upon Congress for an appropriation of ten or twelve
thousand dollars per annnm to enable him to DISCHARGE
his high functions as temporal governor of the world
and hopes that the members will each transmit him
ten dollar note, and trank ii. The madness of some
men is sometimes laughabe, but this mans is shock
ng. We should hope that member will be found
wild enough TO introduce his petition.
