The Mormons.
Tax PAYER

1t seems that the Mormons located on
Beaver Island, Michigan, and the people OF
the surrounding country, are repeating some
of the scenes that transpired at Nauvoo.
The following, from the Chicago Advertiser,
is the latest intelligence in respect to them
News was received in the city yesterday
that there had been desperate row between
the Gentiles (the name given to the inhab-
itants near Beaver Island) and the Nor
mons on Beaver Island. Some twelve or
fourteen of the latter went to the main
land to subpoena two witnesses. They
were told to leave there quick, or they
would never reach the island alive. They
Immediately jumped into their boats, but
were fired upon, and six of their number
very badly wounded. The Gentiles chased
them some distance into the lake, and the
Mormons took shelter on vessel that Law
there becalmed. The Mormons were well
armed, but did not fire gun; and it seemed
that the assault was altogether unprovoked.
There may be good canse for it, however, as
it is said the Mormons are very troublesome
stealing every thing they can put their
hands upon. Only short time ago, Strang
the leader, went to Grand Traverse, purchas-
ed $3.50 worth Of goods. &C., and paid for
them in counterfeit money Chase was Civ
en- TO him and the goods again obtained.

DIED WHILE DRESSING FOR BALL
Miss Laura Shields, who resided OH Liberty
street, in Cincinnati, went up TO her room on
the evening Of July 4th to dress for ball.
When the gentleman came who was to ac-
company her she had not come down stairs
At length her mother went to the door and
raped, but no answer was returned, and
she had locked the door. They then became
alarmed and forced the door. when Laura
was found lying upon the floor, nearly dress
ed for the ball, and dead. She appeared to
be in perfect health in the evening at tea.
She was buried, in the dress they found her
in, on Monday.

who is a warm advocate Of the Maine Law,
that he had no fear for himself but that he

A KNOWING HoRsE!-The New Haven
Republican says:
Two carriages, one double and the other
single, were near being destroyed, with their
passengers, yesterday afternoon on the New
York Railroad The drivers did not see the
passenger train until it was close upon them.
The double carriage, however, got over the
track. The single horse had his fore feet
almost upon the rail; he reared upon his hind
legs, and stood thus like statue till the train
passed. by. 1t came SO near him that il struck
the shafts and broke them, but did no other
injury. We understood our informant, a
very respectable gentleman, to say tina, he
witnessed all this.

The Maine Liquor Law appears to be
gaining ground every where in the sympa-
thies ofthe people. Should il be brought
before the people for discussion, there are
but few respectable papers in the State but
that would advocate its cause. BY this we
do not mean that they would advocate the
Maine Law as adopted in Maine, because we
are ignorant Of its details, but that they
would be in favor Of the passage of some
law that would amount to a total prohibit
ton The following we clip from the Chi
cage Joarnal:-"Thc Press notices the con-
slant violation of the Sabbath, and the or
dlnances otthe city, by the low doggeres on
