EXPOSURE OF MORMoNIsM. Sarah Young,
the absconding wife of Brigham Young has
written another letter to the editor of the
Boston Times, promising to be in Boston in
a week or two from the 18th of Feb. This
letter is dated at Pittsfeld, Mass. She
promises to reveal great seCrets-she says the
society have two very important secrets.
which are revealed to none bat the head
leaders, and then Only under the obligation
of the most solemn oaths. She says there is
secret plot among the Mormons to over
throw this government;' that she discovered
this plot from some papers which Young
left under his pillow one morning when he
left her bed that she overheard talk about
a fort with "three tiers Of two hundred and
six guns each y and that there was the plan
Of a fort among the papers found under the
pillow. This reveator also says the Nor
mons are in league with all the Indians round
about, who will fight for the Mormons, and
that the Indians are to receive back all their
lands that have been taken from them, &C.
We suspect that all this noise and prepa-
ration is merely 20 awaken public attention,
and that the whole thing is humbug for
some sinister purpose. We are ngthened
in this suspicion from the circumstance that
this stray 1rJe says Mr.. Young has sent on
two men TO stop my career" and she hopes
the people of Boston 1Oill protect her. If
she should be taken back, the Mormons
would put her to death. The whole wears
the appearance of ridiculous farce. The
Mormons are bad enough, but they are more
knavcs than fools. The woman is safe -

Musical CoNvENTIoN-This convention
was in session in this place, on Wednesday
and Thursday, of last week, under the direc-
ton of Prof. Woodbury., of New York. II
was very respectfully attended, by music
teachers from abroad. and by singers gener-
ally, from Perrysburg and this city. Other
duties prevented our attendance, except at
the concert, on Thursday evening, which
closed the proceedings. With the exercises
on that evening, we were highly entertained,
and were graiied to observe the musical
cultivation of those who participated therein.

The Lords Prayer.

A friend tells US an annecdote of Booth,
the great tragcdian, which we do not rec
collect having seen in print 1t occurred
in the palmy days of his fame, before the
sparkle of his great black eye had been
dimmed by that bane of Genius, strong
drink. Mr.. Booth and several friends had
been invited to dine with an old gentleman
in Baltimore, of distinguished kindness,
urbanity, and piety. The host, though
disappearing of theatres and theatre-going
had heard so much of Booths remarkable
powers, that curiosity to see the man had,
in this instance, overcome all his scruples
and prejudice. After the entertainment
was over, lamps lighted, and the company
re.seated in the drawing room, some one
requested Booth as particular favor, and
one which all present would doubtless ap-
preciate, to read aloud the Lords Prayer.
Booth expressed his ready willingness
to afford them this qualification, and all
eyes were turned expectantly upon him.
Booth rose slowly and reverently from his
chair. 1t was wonderful to watch the play
Of emotions that convulsed his countenance.
He became deathly pale, and his eyes,
turned tremblingly upwards, were wet
with tears. AS yet he had not spoken
The silence could be felt. 1t became alb
solutely painful, until at last the spell was
broken as if by an electric shock, as his
rich toned voice from white lips, syllabled
forth "Our Father, who art in Heaven
&C., with pathos and fervid solemnity
that thrilled all heartN He finished
The silence continued. Not voice was
heard or muscle moved in his rapt audi
ence, until from remote corner Of the
room subdued sob was heard, and the old
gentleman (their host) stepped forward
with streaming eyes and tottering frame
and seized Booth by the hand,

years, and l am far from being yet satisfied

duction., Hardly one person in ten thou
