erection. The Millerite delusion j.
again revived in the East, and hundreds o.
simple minded persons have been induced
to abandon their worldly employment
with the view of preparing for the end o.
all time. About 200, Of both sexes, are
encamped near Philadelphia, awaiting The
great event. The Justification Of one
prophecy, as to time, would seem to b
but the signal for the propagation Of anew
one. A number, it is stated, who were
awaiting the general confagration neal
Darby, Pa. were lately thrown almost int
conv,,lsions by the sounding Of severa
larg,, gcngs, which were brought to !
place in the vicinity BY some mischicvou'
bo6zes-.A verdict Of $4,000 has lately

Dunn, Esq. Of Philadelphia, protector anc
proprietor Of the celebrated Chlres.e Mu'

Scott, the member Of Congress who gave
the vote of Missouri to Adams in 1924,
after the lapse Of twenty years, has come
out in communication over his own sig
nature in defence Of his conduct upon that
occasion. For all the effect it will have in
reversing the judgment of his State, pro-
nounced long since against him, he might
as well have remained silent twenty years
longer. - The printing press ordered
by the Oregon settlers has been shipped.
1t is bound to Willamette, and will ac-
cording to the N. Y. Mirror, travel twenty

Pike No. Z, we notice has been
launched at Cincinnati. A popular name,

this one was retained only because, from
his superior knowledge Of machinery, his
services could not be dispensed with. It
is thus that these money despots, lord it
over better men than they are themselves;
and yet persons are found possessed Of
sufficient assurance to deny that the free
dom Of opinion Of the operatives is inter-
fered with by their employers. Jo-
seph c. Neal, Esq. author Of 0Charcoal
Sketches" SC. having retired from the
Pennsylvania, Of which he was lately

Philadelphia called "Neal's Saturday Ga

achieve great and mcrited popularity.
- The report that Messrs. Huger and

Lead mineral is selling in Dubuque and at
Galena at from $22 to 1926 per 1000!

Rucker, Kissed on, doubtless, BY more
prominent men in his party, challenged
the vote Of Col. Benton at the Presiden-
tial election in st. Louis on the 4th, on the
ground Of want Of residence in the State,
AID the Col. was compelled to swear in
his vote. The more respectable portion Of

vindictive partisans justify it. 49, The
Democrat, at Keosauqua, Van Buren, coun-
