MORE MORMON PLATES.

Two of the Illinois papers, the Wing and
tho Herald, published a, Quincy in that
State, have lately put in circulation tale of
six brazen plates dug out Of an ancen, mound
in Pike county, ILL.,, in the vicinity of a place
called Undertook. The plates are stated
to be covered on each side with hierogyph-
les. Some ofthe figures have little resem-
blance TO the sun, others to the moon, others
to trees; and "many," says the Herald
shave striking similarity to some of the
capital letters and figures of the English Ian.
Hguage." The more material part of the &C.
count we copy as follows:
Arespec,nbe merchant of Kinderhook. having for
some time past felt strong anxiety 10 ascertain what
was contained IN the mounds which abound in the
vicinity OF mat place, was induced TO make an excaya-
ton on the 10th INST IN the centre of one which was
much larger than any oil the Others. At the depth of
ten feet he came to rock and abandoned The ,yo,L

NIssissIPPr.-While Gov. McNutt, the
Vicksburg Sentinel and other Locofoco au-
thorites, are open and undisguised in their
famous doctrine of reputation, i, is CRAFTY
ing to perceive that the Wings of the State,
in common with some Of the more respecta-
BILE of the opposite party, are as open and
undstnguished in their reputation of so in
famous doctrine. In letter published in
the Natchez Courier, Sergeant S. Prcn,iss,
for short time the eloquent Representative
of Mississippi in Congress, holds this Ian
guage:
consider the first and paramount duty of the
Wing party TO preserve the State from the hands of
regulators to save the State from utei degradation
and 10 prevent any decen, and honest man ON eay.

self preservation and that to its success we ought to
sacrifice all other political considerations Whatever
penitentary is more reputable residence than n

ders an object of oathing and scorn TO all Chris,en

CAUSES OF REMOVAL FROM OFrrcE.-Mr.
Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, hits Off
the propensity of acting President Ty-
Ter to remove persons from office for slight
causes, in the following happy manner.
The cause here assigned is much more ra-
tional and sensible one, than some which
have actually been put forth by the admins
tratiOn.
at is said that man of considerable literary ro-
putation now in office at Washington, is about 10 be
dismissed. His offence is that in late article writ
ten by him for Magazine, he spoke Of Homer, vir-
gil, Milton and Shakspenr without once mentioning
the name of the author of 'Ahasuerus.
Prentice says of the rumored appointment
of Mr. Cushing to foreign mission" 1t is
still thought, that Mr.. Cushing will be sent
abroad. Well, if sent at all, let him be sent
as far as possible. IT'S one Of those cases
in which distance would lend 'enchan,me mt
to the view"

In Essex, on the morning of May 22d, of Consump.
ton, MARIETTE PAGE, daughter of Col Samuel Page,
aged % years.
The deceased became member of the Congrern.
uonal Church in Essex in 1929. AS a Christian, she
was even, firm, consistent, and exemplary. Though
life was opening gay before her and the world un.
folding its alluring scenes to her vew-its charms
could not enchant her, could not stay her spirit,
heavenly glory beamed SO bright" During long
illness, she was never heard to murmur, or repnc at
Gods dealing with her. And it is rich consolation
to her relatives and friends to know the same religion
she so sweety exempefed in health, was her sup.
port in deah-that it enabled her with camness and
resignation to breathe the ervent prayer--"Lor Je-
sus receive my spirit" she closed her eyes in DEATH
The wind has passed over the field, and the flower
is gone-the loved one is no more! Well may we
weep-for hers was a character mild and lovely
Unassuming mild and gentle in her disposition, and
with henlt susceptible of the warmest and pures,
emotions of friendship, she the delight of all her
companions. She was a Christion we need saw no
more. Ripe for heaven, she has gone to the land
where the rainbow never fades and all is fair. MANY
will be the tears we shed the grave of one 90
worthy-one whose memory we shall ever cherish.
"We'll think of thee IN the spring time.
And in the summers fruitful prime
And when the autumn leaf is dead
And when the winters snow is spread.
Above thy lonely grave"

ocULPTURE-CoLuMpUs.-The Ohio State
Journal has letter of recent date, from an
American at Naples, who saws:

in marble which he is jus, finishing for the American
Government, and which is to be placed in the Capitol

the Dlscoverer of the New World, and wonderfully
fine statue of an Indian woman

act OF setting his foot upon the shore full of pride
ana triumph, and the woman appears 10 be fastening
ing from the spot IN the greatest alarm a, the strange
spectacle, yet stealing glance in curiosity and won
der at the in,rIders. The action and EXPRESSION of
the piece think are admirable"
The female Indian figure must, we take
it, be designed to symbolise the fate of
the Indian Atrlbes, wondering and shrink
ing-curous and yet turning away-retirng
and disappearing before the great white race,
lord paramount of the whole earth, and
whose restless enterprise, genius, and power
has just reached them across the ocean. in
the person of Columbus.

SINGULAR OccURRENcE.-A recent mum.
Der of the Charleston Is. C.) Mercury has
the following very singular statement:


A Turkey-buzzard was struck dead in the sky by
lightning on Wednesday afternoon. The Washington
Light Infantry we're al the time parading on Citadel
square, and some confusion caused in their ranks
by the poor buzzard Pumping down among them
simultaneously with the severe thunder clap with
which the ram began II fell at the very fee. of
of the men. No house in the vicinity was struck BY
the lightning. The schooner al Lucas's Mill, had her
mast shattered late In the evening.
This is very singular. AS birds are the
occupants Of the air, and are continually
moving in the midst of electrical batteries,

is one of the very best of all non. conductors,
