ming two miles farther north, from Batavia to
Geneva, and there uniting with the St. Charles
branch as it might have done, leaves the river at
Batavia, and after extending several miles, unites
with the main road at different point from the
st. Charles road Instead OF this it might have
been extended to Geneva at much less cost,
and thus have constituted a continuous road a.
long the river. This, however, would have been
helping st. Charles thing not to be done by
It's jealous rival, Aurora. Did you never see re,
vengeful men manifest the same spirit in other
cases, and injure themselves rather than benefit
their neighbors? There is some expectation
that within few years the Aurora branch will
be continued to Peru, and there connect with the
road to Rock Island, and also with the one from
Cairo 10 Dubuque. St. Charles will, however,
contend for the continuation of her branch to
Rock Island instead, and in the contest between
the two villages we may expect to see file bite
file.
After leaving Aurora, the river which has mo-
we'd the machinery of six villages in Kane coun-
ty, passes through others in Kendall county, and
at Ottawa, in La Sale county, helps to form the
turbId Illinois, and rolls on to the gulph of Mex
leo, while stream which rises in the same
neighborhood with the Fox finds its way to the
gulph Of ST. Lawrence.

EMIGRATION OF THE MoRMoNs.-Iho Liv-
erpool Mercuryof the 9th inst. says =
On Monday last the Ellen sailed from this
port for New Orleans, having on board 466 emf
grants, on their way to the Mormon settlement
in the valley of the Great Salt Lake. The en-
igrants were from all parts of Englan1-fiheen
families coming from Sheffield alone. A secont
ship, the George William Brown, is also ready
to sail, with about $50 emigrants of the samt
persuasion, and for the same destination, while
another vessel, the Ellen Maria has been laid
on, TO sail on the Goth inst. Mr.. Orson Pratt
the head of the sect, and who is an emigrant
agent in this town, will take his passage on this
The emigration is of a most extraordinary and
romantic character; the subsequent Journey
would appal the stoutest heart, not upheld by
religious fervor orr fanaticism. The poor en-.
igres from New Orleans proceed up the river far
as Council Bluff, nine hundred miles north o.
St. Louis. They will there prepare for the over
land journey across the plain to the Salt Lake
Valley, distance Of one thousand miles, which
has performed in wagons, and their journey lies
across tract of country almost entirely destitute
of heritage"

Description of the West by New Eng.

WRITTEN by Z. A. We.


Perhaps you may think I'd little excited.
W hen you read the description give ofthe west;
WIN the climate and people I'm truly delighted,
And I'm certain il is of all countries the best.
Thesewlde spreading prares, so fertile and fair.
That like gardens OF mammoth extension they seem
W hen first beheld them, it did make stare,
And appeared for a time like beautiful dream.
These plains, although il is winter time drcar,
Appear like the charming Eden of old;
Their gay verdure fled with the genial year.
And the oak stretches out his bare arm to the cold
here the farmer commences a lifetime ahead,
Ills farm Is all cleared ofs stones, stumps and trees
And the soil so productive, he raises his bread,
VI ith but little eXertion and lives at his case,
OItllmeS / contrast with my native Iand,~
hch Is cred with mountains, forests and sand
With the state of Wisconsin, with climate bland
Which by nature is free from these sources Of toll
Being lev Ell. and having the richest OF soil
The contrast ; 50 great can surely depIore,
That the Pilgrims were landed ON Old Pymouth's shore

knew We this land, when its tall groves were green
la the breath of Summer, where the old oak was
seen,
It's branches wide spread To the soft ether blue
Its leaves newly gemmed with the chIysalite dew
Where the wild ivy 'twin'd its fra tendrils around
The cedar and cypress: and forth from the ground
onculllFated sprang up the wild maize and the rye
And bent low their heads, in a congenial sky
when the hawthorn and brar grew up in the shade
Va the OLD forest oak: and the soft zephyrs payd
among It's green leaves and each hill and each dell
LaYed back low murmur when eve sighed farewell.
. knew We this land, when across the blue wave
a pilgrim bark came, freely fraught with the brave
IN strange unknown cline to up their fame,
WITH freedom to worship where freedom could reign.
They came where the red man wood his duskv maid
And told of his love, in the old forest shade,
Where the noise of the chase rousd wolf his
And the wild notes of gadncss rung through the pir
They came-then the dark old woods vanished away,
AND the fields were given to the fun light Of day,
Then the farechoing shouts were hush'd unto death,
ANA iioaled no longer on evenings soft BREATH
And the ivy withcredand the maize grew no more,
Ana the brlar grew not, where it Gourshed before.

County court was sitting a while ago in -,
on the banks of the Connecticut. 1t was not
far from this time of year-cold weather any
how-and a knot of lawyers had collected a
round the old Franklin, in the bar-room. The
fire blazpd, and mugs Of flip were passing away
without groan, when in came a rough, gaunt-
looking "babe OF the woods" knapsack on shout
der and staff in hand. He looked cold, and half
perambulated the circle that hemmed in the fire,
as with wall of brass, looking for chance to
warm his shins. Nobody moved, however; and,
unable to sit down for lack of chair, he did the
next best thing-leaned against the wall, "with
tears in his fist and his eyes doubled up"--and
listened TO the discussion on the proper way of
serving n referee on a warrantee deed, as if he
was the Judge to decide the matter. Soon he
attracted the attention Of the company and a
Young sprig spoke to him.

PTuSSian SchoO5maSterS.-Thc local com
mittce pleases itself in the election of a
teacher out Of the body of trained teachers
who have passed their examination and
obtained the right diploma. The teacher
is presented to the parish by the ministers
in church, with earnest ceremony. He
acts thereafter, in church, as organist and
leader of theschoir. Great pains are taker
by the law to secure for him due respect.
His diploma stamps him well educated
man. He has been..taught field botany, ant
lore Of household medicine, which makes
him a useful oracle to the surrounding
peasantry. His salary is, in no case, allowed
to fall below certain fixed amount; and
no parish, after having raised the salary it
pays viii be permitted ever again to reduce
it. tits collected for him by local officers
and placed in his hands without trouble to
himself. And no teacher, once chose, can
be dismissed by any freak of local jeal-
ousy. His neighbors must state their COM
plants, if they have any, to the Regirung;
he may appeal against dismissal to the
Minister of Public instruction at Berlin, or,
if it so please him to the King.

Do your own Thinking.

The extract appended is from recent lee
ture before the Philadelphia Sunday Insti-
tute, by Mr.. L. ILLMAN. Read and pom
der:
We believe in no authority, no nutho1fity
whatever, neither Protestant authority nor
Catholic authority,i in matters of conscience.
1t is this which has done all the mischief in
the world-this attempt of man or bodies of
men to describe and define the opinions
of sentiments of the mind. 1t is enough
that society or the State should take cogni-
sance of my actions, and punish or reward
me according to my doings but my opin-
ions, and your opinions, and every mans
and woman's opinions should be subject to
no control, they should be free, as untram-
melled as the winds of heaven--let them
blow where they liSt--do not attempt to
interfere with them-you have no right /;
your church authority, your creeds, your
confessions, your disciplines and articles
are usurpations.
High above, all this, pure as the unsul-
lied stars, is the mind and conscience of a
man, and he will, if We will but let him
alone, know and find out the truth. And
if you, We teachers of old dead formulas,
dogmaS, hair splitting subtleties and spec
would descend from your aSsum-
ed, exalted and false position of taking
from heaven and handing down to us, and
humble and meek, unite with us in the
search for truth as fellow laborers, and on
ly aim to enhghten us, improve us and
yourselves in real knowledge and Under
standing, and in the great and glorious
principles OF practical duty, benevolence
and good will towards each other, it would
be very much better. Difference of opinion
is Of no more Importance, than the differ
encc which exists in the conformation and
expression of our features. Our minds are
constructed as our faces, and it is an insane
attempt to reduce them all to enc type or
standard.

lie was soon observed by Jenny, who seemed
battered at having such distinguished assistance
at her concert, and recognized her obligations
by bow, as she supposed, in response to the bow
OF the Secretary. The Secretary did not observe
her obeisance however, at FIRST but kept on sing
ing louder and louder, and marked the time bv
bowling lower and lower, while the Nghtlupale
oppressed by tho Secretary's condescension,
bowed, and bowed again. Thus they went on
noddlng their heads towards each other, like two
mandarlans in grocery window, till the Secre-
tary discovered that he was the object of Jenny
complimentary notice, when he rose from his
seat with all the promptitude which the circum.
stances OF the case admitted of, stepped into the
aisle, and made her three most profound bows
The occasion OF this most extraordinary exhibit
ton was not known until some one remarked
that he had dined that day with Webster, at Bod
lscos. Inc whole thing was then nteIirible.
'o' ule distinguished champion OF the Bible and
the Union, has never yet been known to dine
with the Russian Minister without going home
tight. This, believe, though, was his first ap-
pearance as public singer, and the inevitable in
ference is, that he must have been more exhiler-
ated, either by the RUSS wine or the Sweed's
music, than he had ever been before on any pub
lie occasion
Jenny left next day highly elated with her
triumph, little dreaming that the glory of it was
to be shared with Mr.. Bodiscos Burgundy.

H1BEsAIsD's PROCESS OBTAINING. LEA.
VEEER.

We have heretofore alluded to Hbbard's new
process of tanning Leather. and we doubt no,
most of our readers have read more OF less about
1t. 1t is justly viewed as one of the greatest
discoveries Of the day, because it not only su-
persedes the old, tedious and costly plan of tan
ming, but, it is affirmed produces a much better
article of leather. Ii Is claimed that the expense
of tanning is diminished more than 20 per cent E,
that not twentieth part of the time will be
required, and that the leather will be possessed
of additional body and weight sufficient to pay
for tanning. We visited the establishment of
Mr.. J. 0. Taylor Lind's Block, in this city, q
few days ago, and were shown his tubs and spe-
cImens of the leather. Mr.. Taylor exhibited
number of sheep skins that resembled the best
calf. He claims that they are equal or superior
to the best calf, because they are not only soft
and elastic, but, BY OF the process Of tan
ming, they are more imperyious to water.
Mr.. 1. was wearing pair OF boots, which he
had used tor two months, and ne assured US that
they had kept his feet more dry and warm than
any boots he had ever worn before while they
were as soft and elastic as when first put on
The process of tanning is so understanding
from twelve hours to six days, according to the
nature of the skins-that but a small space is
occupied for the tubs. Mr.. T. carries on quite
an extensive business in a small room back of
his sale store.-Chic. Daily Tribune.
