a Millennium at Hand.

A public meeting was recently held in
St. Martins Hall, Long Acre, London,
when Mr. Robert Owen announced that
bis long promised millennium would be in
augurated on Monday, May IA, 1855, by
great gathering of delegates from all
governments, countries, religious sects,
parties and classes From that day for
ward he announces that there will be q
total change in the condition of the hu-
man race, to be brought about, not by rev.
olution or violence, but by pacific means,
and the general consent of N mankind. Mr..
Owen, who was the chief speaker on the
occasion, denounced all existing govern
ments, religions and parties, as degrading
to the human race, and as calculated to
produce nothing but falsehood, wicked
ness and misery, The object of all re-
ligions, he said, ought to be to improve
the character of man, but be would there
state distinctly that no religion which ex-
listed upon the face of the earth was cal
culated to instruct the human race for its
happiness. There was no government,
sect or party in the world which could
effect it; and as long as the present sys-
tenn existed, happiness would be banish-
ed from the world. In the millennium
which would commence on the 14th of
May, the human race, would be emanci-
pated from misery and vice, and a uni
versal attractive system would be put in
operation. Everything was prepared for
the commencement of this new system,
and nothing was wanting to secure its
complete success, but the union of the
various classes of society. He felt every
confidence that it would put an end to
war and all divisions among men, and
that it would create lasting Paradise on
earth. The world was at present demon
manufactory, but he would change it into
a manufactory of angels without wings.
Mr.. Owen is, of course, an enthusiast; and
however well-meaning he is no doubt de-
cidedly deceived. We fear that Nav
next will come and 60, and that the soci
al millennium alluded to will be still very
remote.

The Lottery Conspiracy.

An adjourned court of Quarter Sessions
for the county of Lehigh, convened on
Monday morning last, for the trail OF
Nathan Frederick and others, charged
with violating the laws prohibiting Lot
teries in Pennsylvania, by getting up wi at
is usually known as the Catasauqua Gift
Enterprise. The case has produced an in
tense excitement throughout the commu-
nifty, judging from the vast crowd that
thronred the Court House during the
whole of Monday. His honor Judge Nc
Cartney, and Associates Messrs: Haas
and Dillinger are present. The District
Attorney opened the case setting forth the
facts that would be offered in evidence
A number of witnesses were examined on
the part of the Commonwealth; after which
the defence called also large number
who testified to the uniform good character
of Mr. Frederick. Messrs. hunk, Brown
and Longnecker conducted the defence;
and Dir. Stiles the part of the Common
wealth. The case was given to the jury Oh
Tuesday morning, who after deliberatlng
some two or three hours, returned verdict
of guilty on FIVE counts in the Indictment.
The following gentlemen composed the
jury: Elias NIertz, Martin Kemmerer,
Peter Meyer, stephenSchlosser, EPhraim
Reinhard, George Rux, Daniel Frey, Sol
omon Weaver, William D. Dillingcr,
Henry Diefenderfer, Daniel Buchecker,
John G.. Schimpf-AAcntoacm Democrat.
Frederic plead guilty, and stated that
they had sold tickets to the amount OF
$4,000. If this enormous amount was
thus swindled out of credulous public,
why were these trivial fines inflicted
Such outrages on the community should
be visited with the heavy hand, and the
parties be compelled to disgorge cfectu-
ally. We trust both the people, and the
large class of gift and other lottery swind
lers will take warning by this example

Unuuenchable Fire.

The Pottsvile (Pa } Register has the
following account of an apparently un
quenchable fire in the Silver Creek Col
leries Of that State:
" Four years ago what is now called
the old breaker at Thomas & Beatty's
mine, caught fire from an explosion. The
fire was communicated to the dirt heaps
around, where it has been secretly burn
ing ever since. 1t made its appearance
again about FIVE weeks ago in the imme-
diate vicinity of the new breaker. The
mine has stopped as well as e.ery other
mine in the neighborhood.
"The coal mountain in Pennsylvania, a,
which has been on fire since 1887. will
probably soon be extinguished, as the fire
is approaching point which can be sub
merged in water. A mass of coal has
been consumed three-eights of a mile
long, 60 feet wide three hundred feet deep,
exqual to ago, 600 tons of coal.

A Lucky Runaway Slave.

The Rochester New York; Democrat
says that a runaway slave named Grand
son Boyd, who had taken refuge some
years since in Rochester, left the country
as many others did, at time of the pas
sage of the Fugitive Slaye law, from fear
his owner might reclaim him. He went
to Australia and commenced work in the
gold mines.-When he left he was in
debted $500 to crockery merchant, in
Rochester, who had no very strong hopes
the debt would ever be cancelled. A few
weeks since, however, he received let
ter from Boyd, stating that he had
just arrived at Liverpool from Austriia,
where he had made $4,000, and enclos-
ing draft e4O, (s2O0) the amount ol
the debt.

Washington Monument Association.


The election for officers and managers
of the Washington Monument Association
took place in that city on Friday, the 22d
ult, and resulted in the election of the
following gentlemen
Eespasian Ellis, First Vice president.
George H Plant, Third Vice President.
G. c. Tucker, Secretary.
John NJ McCalla, Treasurer.
Managers-S. S. Briggs, F. S. Evans,
Mayor Addison, Georgetown, c. Belt, j.
II. Bradley, J. ". Grain, T. u. Sandy, S.
G. Busey, J. A. Gordon, R. T. Knight,
Samuel Z. Douglas, J. Libbcy, and J A.
Brooke.
These are nearly, if not quite, all new
men, and the result of the election, which
took every one in Washington by surprise,
is attributed to the Know Nothing organ
ization. Whatever influence may have
been productive of the change, it is to be
hoped that the new administration may
have sufficient force to complete the great
national work for which the association
has been organized. If the new Board
make an early completion of work, the
incompleteness of which has seriously
damaged the reputation of the country,
the people will properly appreciate the
influences which procured the change, no
matter what it may have been.

A Horrible Crime.

There has been a trial and conviction in
Court this week that, for the sake of hu-
manity, We hope never to be called upon
to record the like again. 1t was the case
of Earl P. Blackm ore. of Conneaut tp.,
for rape upon two of his own daughters
girls not over Is or l6. The details are
two horrible for publication. Upon the
first count, though the offence was proved
to the satisfaction of everybody, save the
jury, he was acquitted; but upon the
second count he did not come off so lucky,
and will doubtless be sentenced to the full
extent of the law-ten years in the Pen
itentiary !--Erie { Pa.) ObsTrer, 10th.

he has not seen fatal case which was
