Masonry in .Mdssachasetts.-At meeting OF
Masons from all parts of Worcester County,
Mass. at Worcester, August 18th, the following
resolutions, among others, were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That in the changes and improve
ments of society, We believe the Masonic lnstl'
tuition has now become unnecessary; and while
social, charitable, and benevolent objects can
be effectually accomplished in other MODES
more congenial with public sentiment, we con
slider it no longer useful or eXpedient to sustain
its organization. at the expense OF The puDhC
peace and harmony of society.
RESOLVED, That under the existing clrcum.
stances of the Masonic Institution, We deem II
civil duty which we have always regarded as
paramount to all masonic obligations, to endea-
yor to effect the entire extinction OF that lnstl-
tuition by voluntary and general REIMBURSEMENT
Resoiped, That the Act Of Incorporation oil
the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts having been
surrendered,-an act of the Legislature having
declared any unauthorized oath or obligation un-
lawful the meetings of most of the Lodges in
the State having been suspended and their
charters suffered to expire by their own limita-
ton, and Masons in different parts of the Com
monwealth having generally long since ceased
to act as such, we believe their views in regard
TO the Masonic institution are in accordance
with our own. And appealing to their candor
and sober judgment to confirm the correctness
Of these opinions, We do respectfully, but ear
nestly, invite other Masons 10 make such eX-
pressions of their views as shall leave the COM
munity no occasion longer to doubt on the sub

ILLrNols.-At length We have from Illinois suf.
icient returns to justify the belief that she has
cast off the collar, and followed the glorious ex-
ample Of Louisiana, Kentucky, and Indiana.
Partial returns (from about ten counties) give,
for the Office of Governor, to Gen. JOS Duncan
Representative in Congress) $500 votes, to
Kinney 2,loo, and to Mclaughlin 600 votes.
The counties heard from are in the southern
part of the State, and Gen Duccan's strength
lies more in the middle and northern parts of it.
There is no doubt, therefore, of his election.

Eruption in Mount Tesurius.-The following
letter, of the LIST July, from Naples gives further
particulars ofthe eruption Of Vesuvius: Mount
Vcsuvius has been for several days in state of
great activity again, and last night it exhibited
some Of the most brilliant phenomena ever wit
messed, the crater sending forth the finest erup-
tons seen for many years. which, rising in sue.
cession one after the other, gave the idea of
immense rockets. The quantity OF ignited
stones thrown up from the mountain exceeded
that of the eruption Of May last DR.. Foster,
who has been here making accurate observa-
tons on this SPLENDID phenomenon, assures us
that it f.ected the thermometer several degrees
at distance of 3 or miles. He found the ave-
rage temperature during the night to exceed IS
degrees of fahrenheit, and observed that at mid
night the mercury stood at SO degrees, the wind
being E. n E. The smoke fills the bay at times,
but the most remarkable circumstances is the
cumulus cloud perpetually seen above the smoke.
DR., Foster thinks he has discovered, by histoIi-
cal researches that the largest eruptions of this
mountain, as well as Of Etna, have preceded the
approach of large comets to the sun; and if so,
the circumstance that Haley's comet is expect
ed towards the close of the year, would induce
us to expect still more magnificent spectacle:
as The intensity ofthe volcanic action increases"

On Saturday, the wife of respectable me

cloth, valued at S45, from shop in Grand

In her defence, she stated that she took the cloth
with no felonious intent, but merely as a joke.
resulting from a wager made with female
friend, that she would go into any shop and
take something without being detected, whcl.
she would bring home, and then restore it to il
owner. This story, although ingenious, was
proved to be unfounded.

We extracted from the London papers lately
story of Lady in France having given birth
to black and a white child, twins; singular
event Of the same complexion happened on
last Tuesday, in our own immediate neighbor-
hood. On that day, in house in the wood near
Dalskairth young woman was delivered of
male twins, one Of which was as white as Euro
pean children commonly are at their birth. and
the other of decidedly African dnginess. The
white infant was still born, ard the black only
lived few minutes. Both babes were buried
in the course Of the day. The girls story, we
understand, is, that she saw black man in Dunn
fries market, and was so struck with his appear.
ance that she could not help turning back to get
another peep at him. AS we don't feel quite in
clined to take this account ourselves, we have
the less objection to our readers doing So
