An Important Invention.

We yesterday witnessed the operation
of small Saw Mill. constructed upon a
new and singular principles; that OF self
propulsion. The inventor is Mr.. Amos
Jackson. OF Pottawatamie county, Iowa,
who, in company with several OF his breth-
rem in the Mormon faith, are now in this
city. Mr.. jackson has spent many years
of toll and large sum OF money. in per.
fecting his invention. and our impression
is that the method now presented will eE-
tirely supersede the mills now in use.
The mill is built in such manner as to
derive its entire propelling power from the
weight of the log to be sawed, which he
accomplishes in the following manner:
the ordinary ways upon which the carri-
age travels. are fixed upon bearings that
enter into the frame; the opposite ends
are provided with large scgmen;s Of cog
wheel working into series of wheels and
pinions; thus it will be seen, that when
the log is pushed forward to the saw, its
weight is brought to set with great force
through the segments. upon shalt having
several intermediate gearings to increase
the speed sufficiently for driving the crank
shaft. When we consider that the weight
OF saw logs is commonly six or eight
thousand pounds, we may judge Of the
immense propelling power thus obtained;
indeed, the fear is, that means will have
to be used to check the descending mass,
as the segment describes the area. 1.-THE

Olsht the Murderer to be Punished
with Dealh?>

In our last number we cited a number Of
passages in the New Testament. in which
the subject of capital punishment was Incl
dentally alluded to. And that Book. in
stead Of being against our position, has
been found to be decidedly in our favor.
That punishment, which justice awarded
10 the murderer in the days of the Patri.
archs and Prophets, instead Of being re.
pealed by Christ and his APOSTLES is strict
ly recognized and approved in all their
teachings. The Old and the New Testa.
ments. instead Of being at variance upon
this point, are found to be strictly united
in their testimony.
Unless, then, we are prepared to deny
the authority of God. or TO reject The Bible
as the authentic revelation OF His will. we
cannot lend our influence to the movement
now in progress, to abrogate the punish
ment heretofore inflicted on the man Of
blood. We wish the true foundation Of this
false philanthropy to be exposed, for we are
persuaded that when the ground on which
il rests Tor support is seen the friends OF
truth and justice will wash their hands Of
all participation in it and will rally in sup
port Of the Bible.
But we know there are many among those
who cry for the repeal of this law, whose
hearts are so tender, whose sympathies are
so easily excited in behalf Of the victim Of
the law, that they cannot see the least force
in any argument either from scripture or
reason in support OF our position. They
tell us that they can see nothing but horrd
barbarity in choking man to death on the
gallows. The practice might have been
admissible in the dark ages of the world.
but il will not accord with the liberal and
more enlightened times OF the 10Th century.
Letus then look at this question, for mo-
ment. as question Of sympathy. Yonder

Guardian Angels.

BY RICHARD coE. JR.
For five long weary months lay
Upon bed Of pain;
Full many a restless night and day,
With f yer on my brain.
My gentle wife, with silent tread,
The guardian angel round my bed!
!, She nursed me. oh! how faithfully!
But why bring this to mind!
For she was ever thus TO me,
Affectionate and kind
My gentle wife, with silent tread,
The guardian angel round my bed.
She baihed my heated brow with balm,
To soothe me into sleep;
And when she found my spirit calm,
H She stole away to weep
My gentle wife, with silent tread,
The guardian angel round my bed.
One day she lovingly drew nigh,
,ye With tenderness and care;
And, bending o'er me with a sigh.
She breathed this fervent prayer
4 My gentle wife, with silent tread,
7 The guardian angel round my bed:
'Oh, Thou who reign st enthroned above.
Forgive my husband dear;
Fill him, o God. with holy love,
And yet retain him here:
And may he hear the healing Tread
Of thine own angel round his bed.
But if his last sad hour be come,
The solemn hour Of death,
. Oh. take his spirit safely home
When he resigns his breath;
While Jesus with his silent tread,
Be guardian angel round his bed

HARBoRs IN CALIFORNIA.

Among the most important discoveries resulting
from the presence and enterprise of our people in
California, are several safe and commodious har-
bors along the coast, which were heretofore un-
known. Respecting Trinidad Bay, the latest in
telligence is furnished by Captain Kemp, of the
barque Hector, who arrived at San Francisco on the
29lh of April, in thirty hours from the Bay.
He reports Trinidad being in his opinion, destined to

THE GENSIS

The law of the United States for taking the
Census went into operation on the LIST of June.
The Deputy Marshals will soon commence the
performance of their arduous duties-one has to
call at every house in the United States to ascer-
tain the name age sex, color profession, trade and
birth place of each individual in the family on the
lst of June, 1862 also whether any is deaf, dumb,
blind, insane, idioc, pauper convict, with the
number married within the year, the number at
tending school within the year, the number over
20 years old unable to read and write and the va
lue Of the real estate owned.
1t will save great deal of time to househoders
as well the officers if each family will make out
the list, and have it ready to hand to the officer
when he calls and it will also ensure greater accu-
racy. We ask the head of families to give this
matter early Northumberland Gazette.
