A VISION AT NAUVOO.

Though Joe Smith is dead.the fifth oI
prophecy remains with some Of his fol-
lowers, who seem to exercise it as Joe
ldld, for their own advantage. Sidney
Rigdon has had quarrel with twelve,
and they have cut him off fom the
lChurch. He threatens TO come ou,
with an exposition, and processes to
have had a vison,in which it was shown
him all that would rranspire 10 the
wlnclng.up scene. He says he has re-
C ived The keys of David, spoken Of in
the third chapter Of the Revelations,
which shulleth and no man openelh, and
openlh and no man shellelh. 1t has
been shown 10 him that the temple will
not be finshed, and in less than four
years there will be blood shed; about
his time The saints will fl hit the first
great battle at Chambersburg. in Penn
.yvania, the second at Uarrisbu 4;
3th,q' Philadelphia, 4th at Bal,imore;5th
at Washington; sixth at Richmond; !;
seventh, at New York; eight, at Bosl on
ninth, on The Hudson; ;lenth and last on
mis- continent, al Monmouth, New Jer'
,ey,in which they will defeat the forces
Of Queen victoris;ake the shipping thai
brought over her army, and pass over
in divisions, to England, France and
Spsin, and finally complete the con-
quest of the world and fight the battles
of Cog and Msgog at Jerusalem, when
the Saviour will appear which will be
N sboil eleven years from this time.
Sidney says the keys he holds are above
those held by Joseph. He has ordain-
ed several prophets, who are not to leave
Nauvoo al present, but "a sign will be
given them when 10 leave, so that they
may assemble aud take command of the
army. If Ihey have so grand warliks
job TO perform, they had better begin
soon. Ii will take some time 10 carry
oui this design of universal conquest.

Mr.. Markle has nsvei tasted of the cor
rupiions of ofiice.-Bedford Coon.
And whyl Because the people would
never give him chance. This same Mr..
Markle was a candidate for Btigsdier Gener
al, and was delealed-he wasa candidate
for seat in the Legislature, and was defea,
ed--he was a candidate in 1898 for IA seat
in Congress, and scarcely obtained votes
enough TO put him on the return ! In every
instapce, too, he ran behind his ticket, and
was always badly beaten in his own town
ship, among his immediate neighbors. The
old coon is not to blame for never having
tasted OF the oorruplions Of office, from the
iacI that his neighbors never would elect
him, although he has been running nearly
all his life lime. The people of Weslmore
land know him 10 be destitute of qualifca
llon--they look upon his nomination as a
perfect burlesque--and will again prevent
him, at the ballot box, from tasting of the
corruPlions Of Office by giving his oppo
nent, Francis R. Skunk, ma ority of at
least twenty five hundred votes in his own
county !-Bedford Gazette.

As the democratic

pS the candidate of the party for Safe
N"oa:or, it may be proper to give your
rnalrr some account of the service rem
Il ud by his Father and Uncle, during
lh" Revolutionary War, and the
'la,sacre Of Wyoming. The Father Of
Gen. Ross, was but sixteen years Of age,
,nd although SO young, he had already
marched at the head Of The scouting par
" TO protect the settlements above
Wilkesbafre, which had been attacked
by the Indians, and several Of The in.
habiisn,s killed. Mr.. Ross had Two
b others older than himself, in The bat.
IT., Of Wyoming, 10th of whom fell on
that bloody day, one of them, being an
n;licer in The regular army, had obtained
permission TO return home on hearing
ihal the settlements along the Susqne-
hanna had been attacked by the Indians
After lhe death Of his brothers and
la'ber, the support of his mother and
,heIfamily's Of his bolhers, devolved upon
hin, and every hour that could be spar
ed from his counlrys service devoted to
their protection and comforts. Such
was The Father of Gen. Ross. Gener.
Gus and brave and such is his son es.

his heart, and The Integrity of his word.

DEMOCRATS DO YOUR DUTY.

Democrats do not feel to secure with re
gard 10 The election of our candidate for
Governor. Francis II. Skunk having had
much experience in all lha, relates TO the
duties of Chief Magistrate, and his oppo
nent having had none al all, il is conceded
even by the wings, lha, our candidate is
Justly entitled TO the suflrages OF the people.
This fact has rendered the democrats Ger
tain Of his election believing that very many
of our opponents will vote for him. Ii is
probable that many honest wings, knowing
the importance OF capable governor, will
do 80. But supposiNg they should not and
we, being careless aud inactive from our
lmmaginary security, should stay al home,
the consequence would be that our candi
date would suffer defeat, AS such thing
mghl very easily happen, we warn our
friends 10 be active, aud see that every de
mocrat will be out, all acting Us if Shunk'S
election depended upon a single vote
Democrats do your duty, and see that every
