SOMETHING NEW,

In passing from the Court Il ouse last night, our
attention. was Attracted by quite brilliant light
burning in the Store room Of MIR. JoHs Ii. Linens.
and we stopped for a moment to examine it, We
found it to be "Casey's Composition or Burning
Fluid" of which we have recently considera-
Bile notice in our exchange papers. The Light is
certainly very beautiful, resembling very much in
appearance the GAS Lights of the city of Balti
more. with perhaps not quite so clear and brilliant
glare. MIR. Likens tells us that he has purchased
the right to prepare and yend this Liquid in the
County of Berkeley and tha, he will dispose of the
right to Families for two dollars--thst is to say
he will sell them a receipt for making ii. and in
struct them in the preparation and use of it for
that sum- He informs US that gallon of the Ii
quid will last as long as gallon of best Sperm
Oil, and cost the consumer but rs cts.--oas-haLf
the price exactly of the oil. He will furnish the
Liquid himself for rs cents per gallon. but says
persons making it themselves can produce il at the
rate of so csnts per gallon. We have no doubt
that it is much cheaper than oil--qute as cheap

Nh. GoUGH-Sensibte Remarks AT
the Massachusetts, Temperance Conven-
ton, at Worcester, john Hawkins, ano,h.
er famous Temperance lecturer, said:
"lf there was a man in the world who
needed encouragement and support, it was,
Of all others, the reformed Inebriate. -
lie said he was blessed with an iron con-
st,utlon, and his temperament was sue b
tina, he was not easily led INTO temptation !;
but he had sometimes shuddered until his
head grew dizzy, at the thought that
soma sudden unforeseen temptation might
beset him, and cause him to "reel and
stagget like drunken man." He had
felt, and the reformed inebriaie always
feels, that he needed props and supporters
all around him. 4 kind word was better
to him than gold--it strengthened him in
virtue. lie could imagine how easily it
was for man of Coughs temperament
TO fall away but, said he, were he a
thousand times fallen, | would thousand
tunes pick him up, and tell HIM he was
still a mao; bdorng him so on IN Gods
name"

Mormons we're following up their work Of
destruction, and that large settlement

Hancock, is said to have started for the

solitary deputy, 10 call the attention OF
the anti Mormohs 10 the law, This may
be so, bu, we are inclined TO doubt IT.
The Mormons have made no attempt at
resistance, although they certainly out.

On this letter the Quincy Courier re-
marks:
Mr.. Whitney remarked to the commit.
tee that he believed their proposition
would be unsatisfactory in one particular:
that if he had to buy out bad neighbor
to get rid oil him, he would like TO know
what distance he would remove from him.
The committee replied that they would not
agree to leave Hancock, nor would they
say in what part Of that county they would
again settle. Ii is useless perhaps to add
that the interview amounted to nothing ;
and the work Of destruction commenced
again on that evening. On (o.day) Sat-
arday several more buildings were burn
ed. In passing along road about three
quarters of mile distant, about o'clock
saw the smoke and flames OF two rising

LATER.

The ST. Louis Republican of the 18th
inst received last night, contains farther
accounts of the outrageous proceeding in
Illinois against the Mormons. The Re-
publican says.
A long letter in the Quincy I'm. Daily
Courier, Of Monday, the 10th ins,., con-
firms all that has been published 10 regard
10 the pretended origin OF the difficulties
the firing upon meeting Of ami. Nor.
mons, near Lima, assembled TO consult
upon measures to protect their property
from the depredations Of the Mornous
That such an attack was made, without
injury TO any one, is admitted to be true,
but, while the anti. Mormon party charge
il upon the Mormons, the latter aleee
that it was trick ofihe former, TO secure
pretext for the depredations they are
now making. The meeting, at all events,
broke up in hurr.y, escaping out of the
doors and windows, and some of them
leaving their bats behind them. On
Wednesday and Thursday, after brief
warning 10 The occupants, the burning OF
the dwelling houses of the Mormons CON.
menced. On Friday other houses were
fired. In the course Of that DAY, com.
mlttee OF Mormons, with flag of truce,
entered Lima,to treat with their enemies.
Captain Newton, volunteered TO introduce
them to some citizens oil Hancock county,
and did so. They met 10 council Ed.
son Whitney, Joel Cailin and Samuel
Fleming, representing the anti. Mormons,
informing them at the same time that they
were not authorized by the public to do
any thing, but acted 90 their own respon.

receive any proposition tending TO alay
the excitement. The following PROPOSE
