We have received from some friend the
Pennsylvania Temperance Recorder, whose
! motto is, {" Total Abstinence from all that
intoxicates, the only infallible antidote."
William w.. King, Of England, is dead.
He died at Windsor, on the goth Of June, in
the I'D year Of his age. An after-death ex-
animation discovered an enlargement Of the
heart, and symptoms of dropsy in the chest.
He is succeeded in the throne by his niece,
the Princess Victoria.
Snow fell at Jefferson, Ashe Co. NC, on
the 2lst Of June. 1t is an elevated region.
Ichabod Codding, late agent of the Ameri-
can Anti-Slavery Society in this State, and
now in Massachusetts, has lately been mob
bed at Brighton. After be had spoken
about half an hour, two persons, named
Hiram Hill and John Hammond, with hats
on, walking through the broad aisle and up
the pulpit stairs, seized the speaker by the
collar and were about dragging him from
the pulpit, when some Of the auditory, run
ming to the rescue, seized the villains, pin
toned their arms with pocket handkerchief,
placed them in the upper pews on either
side of the broad aisle, and compelled them
to remain until our friend Codding finished
his discourse and closed with prayer. In
the mean time application was made to the
magistrates for warrant to arrest the law
less rufians, but it was refused. What

The last Burlington Sentinel contains
scandalous article, giving an account of
late riot in that town, which resulted, as it
appears, in breaking up an Anti Slavery
meeting The writer in the Sentinel init
mates that half barrel Of tar was in readi-
ness for the lecturer, if they could have OBJ
tanned him. These Burlington Lynchites
are informed that their Newly ork coadjutors
are using kindred arguments, much more
easily welded, if not more efectual. A
late Emancipator contains fac simile rep
resentation of Bowe Knife, about foot IN
length aud an inch in breadth, quantities of
which are now on sale in that city, bearing
on their blades the significant inscription,
"Death to Abolition" In the name Of
Christianity, let not the deeds of Americans
be published among the Arabs Of the Desert,
and other heather tribes and banditt Of
assassins!
Jarvis, from Maine, who acted so con-
spicuous part in the last Congress, in sup
port Of slavery, is probably defeated in the
election which has just taken place
Whether his successor will do better for the
cause of liberty, we have yet to learn.
There is little danger that he will do worse.
The "Christian Secretary" published
at Hartford, Conn.,, is merged in the Sos
pei Witness" at New-York. The Gospel
Witness is the same which was the "Ameri-
can Baptist and Gospel Light" which was
formed by the Amalgamation ofthe "Ameri-
can Baptist" and the Gospel Light and
Revival Messenger"
The queen of England, who has just
taken the throne, is under 10 years of age.
She has several uncles, brothers to the King
deceased, but they were all younger than
her father who died in 1920, and who was
next younger brother to William-therefore
the throne is hers.
