One of the .Mormonites has become dis satisfied with his new faith and brethren, and has denounced them all, in Westfed (N. I.) paper, in the words following:
 ''And now l testify to you before God and these witnesses, that never had any impressions or exercises different from oth- CT times, since l joined the Mormons; that the tongues spoken by me are of my own invention, and that, as far as my knowledge extends, the qchole is c faree, and may my fate be like that of Annanias and Sapphna if I do not speak the truth honestly before God!'

Taco Iafaats mited hke the ,Sidmese Inins.-A singular example of monstrosi- ty IS now in London, at Falcon square, and has been seen by Sir A. Cooper, with ma ny distinguished members of the profess sion twill be shortly exhibited to public ylcw. This monster was born lately at Exeter, and presents two bodies united by the abdomen As in all cases, the sex is tho sumo in both. ltis feminine in this ex- ample. 1t is singular to observe how peeu- liar are the laws of nature even in her vaga- nes. Were we disposed to enlarge upon this lasits nQt,p0, we might allude to several cases of a similar description, and in all the sex is identical in both infants. To the physlologist and obstetrican such unna- tural productions afford large field for speculation.-L Loadoa Medical and .Surei- cd Journal.

Family Sieamer.- Scarcely ever have We seen q little apparatus so admirably adapted, from It's simplicity, its easy appli- cation, and it's various and important uses, to the convenience and comfort ef .heaea; and industrious houswife, as that which has recently fa fallen under GUT notice, with itii illi; above appropriate title. It is a portable steam generator, whose principal object IS to assist in creating and preserving eleanli- ness, to destroy noxious insects aud ver- min, and to prevent their increase. It Is used without trouble or inconvenience. and supersedes ihe annoying application of wa ter in many cases. That vexatious but indispensable ceremony, which is, after ali, too often intellectual, the cleaning of bed- steads, may be.periormed, most thoroughly. by the aid of this apparatus, without taking them apart or removing them, and without the slightest injury to the floor or carpet Hp- on which they stand. Not bug or other insect can possibly escape the searching and destructive power of this instrument. For cleansing furniture, removing spots from paint purifying varnish, cleansing windows and looking glasses, picture frames, maps, &e. 1t Is most completely adapted. It's penetrating power is truly wonderful. The smallest crack or Assure may bs thoroughly searched, and every thing hafbored thare effectually removed. It may be useful, too, to destroy worms, which so often infest fruit trees, without ir- turing the trees themselves; and 10 remove shippers from bacon without affecting the meat. In fine, in those numerous essen tial family operations, which, while they contribute to neatness, health, and comfort, are so often full of trouble and vexation to the matron and to all about her, 1t is an d. most invaluable auxiliary, and, when 1t shall be introduced into general use, We have no doubt 1t will rank among the most valuable and indispensable articles of housewifery.

 BLACK BooK.-Twenty-one Merchants in the city of New York. principally resi- dents of Pearl street, have employed Mir. J. G. Worth, as an agent to go through this and the western states, for the purpose of collecting public opinion, relative to the solvency of country merchants. He is to call on the banks, branches and others in the neighborhood of every merchant, to as- certain his character and esponsibility, ard if public opinion" pronounces his name bad, it will be written in black book.
 Thus, this agent, notwithstanding the merchant, Ill fact, is both honest and able to pay, yet he may be .'the agent in the hands of unprincipled tattlers or rivals in trade, to destroy the reputation and credit of those who are engaged in fair business transactions, to obtain an honest living by ''loss and gain.o
 This agent has visited Buffalo We know not the result of his inquiries; nor do we believe our merchants care pin a. bout it-he met with cold reception from them. Many refused to answer him any questions about their neighbors, and repeIl- ed the insult offered, with indignation and if he has registered any name in his black book, he must have obtained his information from those busy bodies, who profess to be acquainted with every one's business but their own.
 We make this statement to guard our citizens hereafter, against the inlpositions which may be attempted to be praetieea up- on them by a New York Spy.
 Let 1t not be misunderstood by the re- marks that we believe 1t improper for the Pearl street merchants to send out agents to inquire into the pecuniary affairs of those indebted to them, for the purpose of collect ing or securing their debts. No. It is the indiscriminate inquiry they are making the proprety of which is certainly qucs- tionable, at least, until some one of the twenty merchants are asked to sell their goods on credit. It will then be in time to make aninquisitorial search into the ssaf- fairs of business men."-Ba6alo (.M. Y Pairioi.

SEA SERPENT.
 From Hte Portland Ereaipe .4dr. .Inhl 6.
 HE SEA SERPENTs AND THE STEAM BoAT.-The steamer Connecticut arrived this morning later than usual, having been employed for about an hour in chasing sboal of Sea Serpents. About six o'clock lasteyeninga gaschr. off Nahanthailedth Con- neeticut, and told Capt Porter that if he would look out he might see the Sea Ser pent, for the bore east of Nahant.o The Connecticut steered accordingly, and very soon, not one Sea Serpent alone, but three, some say four, appeared ill sight. All the passengers saw these monsters of the deep wlth their own eyes, distinctly and clearly.
 One of the passengers, who had a good view, says that one of the Sefpents was one hundred feet in length, with head part y in the form of a snake and partly in the form of piekrel. Some say that this largest Serpent was yet longer. Another ot the Serpents was judged to be about 90 feet long. One threw his body out of wa ter about 50 feet in a spiral undulatory mo- ton, which formed at times upon a calm sea beautiful dark arch. During DOT ton of this time, one of the serpents was thought to be distant about twenty rods: and before and after this near approach, they could be seen for some time with glass. The Serpeuts seemed to enjoy the sport, and played around her for some time -perhaps they took 1t for another sSar- Pelst,8 in or on the deep, and were seeking anintroduetion.
 Of all these facts we are informed by many persons, verbally by one, upon whom we can rely, and who has hitherto been in- credulous enough. We do not, we cannot doubt the testimony of so many persons, in a steamboat upon quiet sea, with the pow CT of stopping and following the objects of their curiosity whithersoever they pleased.
 From the Boston Post of Monday.
 HE SEA SERPENT IN vERITY.-Ex- tract ot letter to a gentleman in this city:
 "PoRTLAND, July 6.
 Dear Sir:-I arrived in safety this 1norn- ing at 8, having passed an hour or more yesterday afternoon among shoal of Sea Serpents, three of which measuring from so or 90 to 120 or 13o feet; l distinctly odW tdCu1 Hiul tllG lohGQ GyG4 EdflQ dlIGf- wards carefully examined them with a glass. They were lying full length on the water, occasionally lifting their head 4 or feet above the surface, and showing 20 or 30 punches, or snake-like undulations, at time. Their heads bore a resemblance to the pickerel's, and the crease of their mouths, marking the division of the jaws, was like that of a common snake. The engine of the boat was stopped, and for three quarters of an hour we had q cool and deliberate view of these monsters. Such objects l never beheld.n
 0lF Since the above was received, we have eonyersed with several people who came up in the Connecticut yesterday, and they all state that they saw, about ten O. clock yesterday morning, little below Nahant, three or four of the serpents, one of which was certainly 100 feet in length.
