about six o'clock in the evening, and lasted only
about ten minutes, but in that time a great dea
of damage was done, especially to buildings in

limited in its extent, not being felt the bay

The Democracy are in state of considerable

gates are already in the city, and the claims Of
the different aspirants are undergoing a thorough

Mitchell stands no chance for the nomination OF
Governor, and that the contest will be between
Colonel George w. Hughes and H. s. G. Key.

this time, when Russia is thrusting her ursine nose
into the politics Of Europe:
"Peter 1.-The founder, as he may be called, Of
the present imperial family-was the murderer of
the two daughters and the of bis brother Ivan,
and the murderer lit is asserted, according to
moro than Of the annalsts of his reign) by his
own hand of his son Alexis. He was himself
murdered by Menzikoff, Ia name that has again
risen up in history,) the favorite of his wife Cath
arine, and who, when united to Peter, was al
ready the wife Of living husband; and their chill
dren declared afterwards incapable Of reigning,
because born in sin. Anne, the eldest daughter
of Ivan, put fourteen thousand Russians to DEATH
and banished twice as many. A revolution dis
placed the younger Ivan TO put on the throne
Elizabeth, daughter of Peter l., and her reign was
remarkable for her drunkenness and debauchery
Peter ILL.,, her successor, VIGOROUSLY the off

by his wife, Catharine H., the same infamous wo-
man who had assassinated the dethroned Emperor
Ivan, and whose own son, Paul, the father of the

PRoTEsTANT CHRIsTIANITY is said to be making
great progress in Syria, in consequence of the
labors of the American Protestant missionaries,
and the influence of their schools, publications,
and religious services. Copies of the Bible in
Arabic have been widely distributed, and may
now be seen in most of the villages in the Durse
mountains, where controversial discussions on
religious subjects are very common, particularly
among the lower orders Of the people. As yet,
however, the only Protestant congregation dis
t:nctly recognised by the government is in Has

GOLD IN OREGoN.--A lettas to the Newark I'D

gold at the rate of ten dollars an hour. Ho fur

until my partner tried; and after two or three
hours work he was offered $35 for what was in
his machine, which he took. The next day he
worked about four hours, and again sold his sand
for $40. On investigation, it found that he
had sold $50 worth Of gold for $35, and $50 worth
for $40. We have taken out $50 worth in two
hours and forty minutes then let escape $40 worth.

PoTENTATEs AT LoGGERHEADs.-ln conform
ity with bull from the Pope, the Archbishop of
Treves has ordered that sin all cases of marriages
between parties of different confessions that the
Evangelical (Protestant) bridegroom shall take an
oath to the bishop, or any one of his clergy whom
he may appoint, by which he shall bind himself
to devote the children he may have to the Roman
Catholic Church." Otherwise the marriage is
forbidden. The King Of Prussia has just issued q
general order, declaring that he will dismiss from
his service any officer who may take the stpu-
lated oath, degrading to the man and to the
Evangelical Confession" In this state of affairs,
it is evident that there will be but little mixing of
religions connubially.-Phila. Ledger

LEAD PIpE.-Somc one who is interested in tin
is endeavoring to got up an alarm about the dam
gers of lead pipe for conducting water. DR..
Brande says: Perfectly pure water, such as dis
titled water, put into clean eaden vessel, and
exposed to the air, soon oxydzes it and corrodcs
it, and delicate tests discover oxyde Of lead in so
luton in the water; but river and spring water
exert no such solvent power. The carbonates and
sulphates in such water, though in very minute
quantities, entirely prevent its solvent power. )"
