Mormon PErITIoN.-In the Connecticut
LEGISLATURE on Saturday, says the Hartford
Courant, as message was received from
His Excellency the Governor, accompanied
by communication from Brigham Young
and others, "a Committee 0flhe Latter Day
Saints" at Nauvoo-otherwise called Nor
mons, asking for an Asylum in Connecticut,
or for aid in Obtaining one elsewhere. They
claim TO be 1aw-prescrving citizens and say
Illinois has treated them as bad as Missouri.
The former bounced upon their patriarch
and their prophet, repealed their chartered
rights, &c, They say that many citizens OF
Connecticut are among them-and requests
the Govet nor TO convene special session OF
the Legislature to grant them an asylum, and
10 aid in establishing Colony Of Latter
Day Saints in Oregon" The message was
referred 10 the Committee on Foreign Rela-
lions.
Destructive Fre.-On Saturday night,
May 10Th. the dwelling house, store, shed,
and horse-barn ofMr. William Robbins, in
Montgomery, were destroyed by fire. The
fire was at first discovered between the house
and store, near sink room,-its origin is
moi known. This loss is said 10 be about
$4,000, and small part is covered by insu-
rance.-iSt. Adams Messenger, Nay 18Th.
CENTRAL RAILROAD. The stock taken al
ready by the citizens of Montpelier amounts
10 100000, and will probably go up 10 sl25
or Hdtch,
CHESHIRE RAILROAD. Stock above par.
A Boston holder of % sh ares, on which
nothing had been paid, was offered the other
day, S25 TO transfer it.
The IRoN TRADE.-The condition of this
interest both in this country and Europe, is
among the wonders of commercial fiuctua-
ton. From long depression, dragging on
for years, wiihthe most discouraging results,
it has suddenly BURT forth with almost
boundless prosperity, so that no great bust
nessis so immensely profitable. In England
though prices have doubled. In this country
every establishment is pushed to lis utmost
capacity. The works of the New Jersey
Company, near Morristown, employ one
hundred and fifty hands, and turn out five
thousand tons of iron annually; and there
arc many other establishments of equal and
superior capacity, and yet the orders at
them all arc in general advance ofthe pro-
duction. The position of the ore and fuel
in our country are more favorable for the
production than in any other, and iron must,
at no distant day, be an article oflarge ex-
por,ation.
ID TIro
men Idrred-A short time since, a Mr..
Underway hired farm in Taghkanic, &C.
Cupied by Mr.. Rockefeller, who had also al
lowed NJ. n. Burdick to occupy aportion of
the premises On Thursday the Sth, we
understand Mr. Wilderwax moved into the
house, MIR. Burdick still retaining possession
off portion OF it. On the night OF the 9th
the premises were visited by some persons
who sawed of the handles OF his plough and
committed many other outrages Of like ma
ture. On the following night, the 10Th,
about twenty men armed and disguised,
broke into the house, threw the furniture and
other things about The premises, and tookMr.
Wilderwax and Mr.. Won Etten, his hired
man, and tarred them and otherwise NAL
treated and abused them. They then COM
manded Mr.. Wilderwax 10 leave the prem
uses, which he agreed 10 do, having no dis
position TO test the title with men who arc
governed by the Lynch Law Hudson
Gazette, May 20.
TIE MoRMoNs.-A Springfield (Ill.) pa
per expresses considerable alarm at the re-
cent movements OF the Mormons, who are
constantly collecting arms and other amuni-
tons OF war from all parts of the country
where they have settlements, and depositing
| them in their holy city of Nauvoo, 10 which
notable metropolis, the disciples themselves
are gathering as fast as they can.
%It seems that North Caralina still
makes theft capital offence, punished with
death. The Raleigh Register says. that a
man named Hardy Carroll was hung al
Louisburgh few days since, pursuant tic
sentence, in the presence of large crowd
His offence was stealing a pair Of suspen
ders!
The Register adds
Perhaps there never was a case which
more strongly illustrated the want Of a Peni
Tertiary than this. He had Il nonomdrid fol
stealing, and has been convicted capitally, we
believe, three several times for horse-stealing
but escaped each time, either by craving the
benefit Of clergy, or through some defect II
the record. He was finally hung for CRANE
larceny, the article stolen, we think, being {
pair of suspenders from store.
The want ola Penitcntiary is, indeed, mos
lamentably indicated from this execution
1t evinces degree of darkness and barbara
ty which we did not suppose existed any
where within the limits OF the U. States

WILLIAM ANTHONY, father of the Editor Of

friendly hand portrays the character of thai
venerable deceased, in very feeling, and, we
have no doubt very just terms Of praise
Mr.. Anthony was upwards of seventy, and
had led an active, useful and enterprisins
life from youthup TO its close.
