Storrs was winding upa sermon on the visions OF
Daniel and denouncins Mother Church as the
''litle horn that wared upon all the other horns OF
the beast with ''seven heads and ten horns" The
power OF this little horn was destroyed, said brother
storrs, IN 1885, by Bonaparte according prophecy,
Napoleon being an instrument in the hands
OF the Almighty to chastse the wicked into
obedience. And then, according to the prophet,
forty-hve years shall pass, which brngsus down to
toty-three And then what Why, the saints
shall take the kingdom and possess it forever, even
forever and ever The great trump shall sound
the seven seals shall be broken the walls shall
be poured out; the angel shall swear that time shall
be no longer; tie Son of Man shall be revealed in
the clouds (Glory) of Heaven-(cnes of "Hamen !
Hamen!) the books shall be opened, (groans,)
and the Judgment set. 1t is Gods trulh-we do not
doubt 1t! Oh! get ready people-get ready, Ia stir

the sinners) Yes you may laugh, but the day of ven

The brother closed at length, to the satisfaction OF
all concerned.
A collection was taken up, but the amount of
coppers gathered from the congregation of five hun
dred, would hardly buy glass Of root beer for the

Cry, read letter from brother Jacobs, at Boston,
stating that brother Hines (aiso on visit to Bos-
tony had received letter few days back from bro
Their Miller, giving the gratifying Information that
the prophet was SO far recovered that he expected
to be In the field again in couple of weeks, If
time continued Of which he was extremely doubtful.
The prophet continues mistaken in the faith that
the world must be renovated in 1843-that Christ
,cM descend, and that all eyes shall see him, even
the blind and the lame. Brother Southland also
read from brother Jacobs letter that the meetings of
the brethren at Boston were well attended, and that
there had been at least one conversion. OF the
number OF ascension shirts among the brethren, no
report was made. After the letter, brother He'd
dick invoked the divine benediction and announ-
ced to the congregation that there would be prayer
meeting in a lew minutes. The crowd of unbe-
levers around the tent kept the brethren under
cow, and the spirit didn't work with its accustomed
energy. young brother, with thin neck, BAN
daged in white cravat, with hair as light as MIR.
Greeley's and face as cadaverous as that of ohm
Jones of the Madisonian, struggled so desperately
in prayer that he had TO the bushes to dis
gorge his dinner. Another prayer followed, and the
brethren and sisters sung hymn. Our Hampstead
Yorkshireman then delivered an exhortation. A
sprinkle OF rain at this crisis drove into the tent
number Of young ladies who had been srolling
over the grounds. There was one in particular who
was hear-breaker in very truth-as plump and
wholesome little coquette as you would find with
searchwarrant directed to all the cottages on the
island. But she was under the care of leathern-
visaged duenna, who seemed to regard us with es-
pecal suspicion.
The brethren had four excellent tents on the
ground. One for the sale of Second Advent books
and pamphlets for the sisters sleep in, who
were compelled 10 remain on the spot; one for the
preachers, and one for boarders, where the mos
subs: antial refreshments, including whiskey,
were informed, were provided tor the Strengthening
OF the inner man.
The sisters and brethren discussed the eggs and
bacon and sausages, and mutton chops, and hot cof
fee, with infinite relish. They gormandized like
hungry cannibals. When we left the ground, de.
tached group were singing
"My saviours coming in the sky,
long to sing Hozanna
He'll take me up to him on high,
long to sing Hozanna!
Chorus-It's good enough, good enough,
long to sing Hozanna
Yes, glory, it Is good enough,
long to sing Hozanna.
The meeting commenced on Monday last, and if
Brother Hines comes in from Boston, will be con-
al. ro.L NIL
however, dying away, the brethren themselves look
sour and disappointed, and with the close of the
present year "Millerism" will be numbered with
the things that were, and be as utterly defunct as
old Noah, the grease spot' of the ancient Tyler
party, or as the ancient Tyler party itself
MADAME CAsrELLAN.-We see it announced in
most OF the Philadelphia papers, that this lady had
arrived in that city, and preparing to give
GER However anxious the Philadelphians may be
to hear this celebrated singer, they must wait a
little longer she is yet in this city, and will probably
remain here some days. When she leaves the
scene of her great Triumph she will 60 south, and
the citizens of Philadelphia will have the next
pleasure of paying their respects to her, first, after
the Gothamites. Madame C. has received proposals
from the management OF one OF our theatres tor a
six months engageDent, at $4,000.
The LIGHT GUARD OF THIS CrrY--One of the hand
soonest and best drilled companies that ever shoul
dered musket or drank hotel keeper out of house
and home, will celebrate their anniversary on Mon
day next. They will leave the city at 0 o'clock
in the morning, and land on Staten Island, nearly
opposite Fort Hamilton. General Wool, of the u.
8. A., will, we are told, review the company. As
Charles Stetsen is the Commissary, we need hardly
add that no one will be put on short allowance
COMMENCEMENT AT DARTMoUTH.-lt is stated in
some of the papers, that at the coming commence
