C1An.-Ihe Mornons are enjoying tho re-
petition Of the ancient Jews miracle of-man-
ma from heaven, as they think. The Descrct
News gives an account of a substance found
on the leaves of trees and on the rocks, in
scales sometimes rs thick as common window
glass, and of very pleasant sweet taste, By
boiling and strlining it an cxcsllent sugar is
obtained. 1t wasat first supposed to exude
from the leaves Of the cotton wood, but being
found on all substances alike, the natural
inference OF the Mormons was, that it itll
from heaven, as miraculous interposition,
to supply the deficiency Of the crops. Not
withstanding the ravages of the grasshuppers
the crops are IN many places quite good, and
there will be hy no means scarcity as was at
one time arprenended. salt is gathered in
immense quantities from small lakes which
when the water is high, connect with great
salt Lake, but after the water has receded
the salt remains on the ground from three TO
six in1hes thick, clean, white andarse.

BRoILED MACKEREL.-The following good
story is told of member Of Congress from
Ohia The venerable Gen. II - was for
several consecutive years returned to Con-
gress and as the hotels and boarding houses
in Washington City, in those days, were all
on par, or rather below par, the members
were in the habit Of occupying, year after
year, the same rooms. The table of Gen
lis boarding house (Which was kept by
widow lady and her two daughters) was re-
gularly furnished with stereotyped dinners,
and at one end of the table always appeared
broiled mackerel. Gen. H., whose seat
was near the fish, had gazed so frequently
upon it, Qor it never was touched except by
the cook) that he knew it all by heart
Now if the distinguished Representative had
any one peculiar virtue, 1t was an affec-
tionate desire to make every person and every
creature around him happy. In the course
OF time, Congress adjourned, and Gen. II.
paid his bill to the widow, and got ready to
start for home The stage stood at the door
and the old gentleman, showing the goodness
OF his heart, took the widow by the hand,
and pressing it, bade her farewell, then kiss
ing the daughters. said he would like to see
them in Ohio. and furnish them with good
husbands, &c.; but even this was not all -
The black boys, who stood along the walls
WERE not forgotten, ana srlnneu as he handed
each silver dollar. As he passed around
the breakfast table, which was not yet
cleared OFF, lie saw his old friend, the mack
crel. The tears came into his eyes, and
raising 1t by the tail with his thumb and
finger, he parted with it, saying well, gooc
bye good bye, my old boy you and have
served long campaign together bu
(wiping his eyes) | suppose We shall mec'
again next winter Good bye The old
gentleman rapidly left the house, and jump
ing into the stage, ratified of, and fortunate
ly lpr hi' cars, the widow never saw him
again.

An American Woman In Pans.

We are pleased to learn from the follow
ing notice of an old and dear friend Of ours
that her talents and accomplishments are de-
servedly appreciated.
Mrs Hitchcock is a daughter Of Henry
Stevens, Esq, of Vermont, sister of Mr..
Henry Stevens, the bibliographist. now re-
siding in London, and widow of Mr. s. W.
Hitchcock, formerly of Burlington, young
man, whose genial and estimable qualities
made him many friends here, and who was
snatchod by consumption some three years
since from the career Of usefulness and dis
tinction opening before him.
Many of our readers who are Interested in
Mrs Hitchcock both for her own and her
husbands sake will read with pleasure the
following from the Philadelphia Bulletin of
Sept. 22d
CAS- AMERICAN ARrisrE'
The readers of the New York Tribune
have met. from time to time in the columns
of that paper, divers remarkably well writ
ten and sprightly letters from an American
lady abroad-letters which indicate q refined
taste in art, and ready appreciation of So
cietv in its various phases. Those among
our own readers who have OF late chanced
into the Art Union Room of this city have
undoubtedly observed there small collection
of exquisite pastel pictures. representing the
four seasons, lIagar, and other subjects. For
originality of style and handling, these pic
lures are deserving especial comment, as they
give, in higher degree than is usual, the
bold effects OF oil painting allied to the softer
color Of crayon. Those who have seen Bro
charts celebrated pastes have doubtless re-
GREETED that his extreme delicacy of style
was not qualified by some sterner element
The pictures to which we refer give indica-
ton OF talent which, if duly developed,
must eventually place the artist at the head
of the school
L" The lady who wrote the letters and ex-
ecuted the pastels to which we refer, is Mrs
S. W. Hitchcock, u sister of the well known
bibilographist and scholar, Henry Stevens.
She at present resides abroad, occupied in ar
tistic and literary studies. and we are happy
to observe, from such results as have reached
us. that she has within short time attained
:. most enviable position both as writer and
as a painter"
