Shakers Bible.

We had glimpse, day or two since, at Sha-
ker Bible, book not often allowed to be seen by
the ssworld's people" 1t is entitled, "a Holy,
Sacred and Divine Roll from the Lord God of
Heaven to the inhabitants of the Earth, Revealed
in the Society at New Lebanon, Columbia county,
State of New York, United States of America" "
This edition was published seven years since, at
the Shakers establishment at Canterbury, N. II.
1t pretends to be revelation, and the testimony
of eleven mighty angels is given, who attended
the writing of the roll. One of the angels is
named Console ao-mon- -shue, and another
Pre.line f. -nan-yes-en- va-ten-uene. 1t is bound
in yellow, according to the order from on high
The book appears to contain passages from Scrip
ture altered, amended, enlarged, or curtailcd with
original additions or improvements, as they are
probably deemed, to suit the peculiar notions OF
the deciples Of Anne Lee. 1t is q very curious
volume-even more remarkable, though of less
pretended antiquity, than the Mormon Bible. A
copy is ordered to be sent to every king or potcn-
tate in Christendom, and one sent to the Governor
of Canada, some time since, was returned or re-
fused.-LopeU Courier

Columbia Market.


Cotton.-During the whole of the week just
brought to close, the cotton market has labored
under high state of exciteme nt and prices have
advanced to : on our last quotations. On Mon
day the news from Liverpool by the Asia, to 18th
instant, reported the cotton market active and
firm, with sales for the week of 81 900 bales. The
news from Manchester was also good, and the
price of manufactured goods was frmer. And
again on Saturday morning, the news by the Cana
da, to the 25th ultimo, was received, quoting cot
ton active at an advance of ! to Id. The sales
of the week amounted to 1877 900 bales, 80, 900 of
which were American. The stock on hand is $780,
900 bales, including 365, 600 American. The last
accounts will doubtless affect our market favora-
bly,; but as there is generally but little cotton on
sale on Saturday, the full effect could not be di-
rectly ascertained. The sales of the week COM
prise ,243 bales and we quote; inferior none;
ordinary none: middling none; good middlng IL I
OILY; fair lls g. III; and choice liz cents.

the bacon market during the past two weeks, and
consequently we continue our former quotations
of sides 10 @ II; shoulders 8@92 and hams II
a. II cents according to quality.
Corn-The stock of this article on sale is large
and prices are o shade lower. We now quote ~
"a 85 cents per bushel.
Oats.-Therc is moderate demand for oats,
without any quotable change in prices. We still
quote 55@6O cents per bushel.
Peas.-There is full stock of peas on the mar
ket, and prices are steady, at our former quota
tions of 5000 cents per bushel.
Four-We have no quotable change to notice
,in the -four market, and consequently We are COM
PEELED to continue our former quotations of S63
@S7 for common to superfue brands; extra fami-
ly -four S7l per barrel.
Fodder-There has been fair supply on the
market during the past week, and as the demand
is moderate, there has been no change in prices

Fairfield Criminal Court.

The special correspondent of the Columbia
Times, furnishes that paper with the following:
John L. Bufford was urraigned for negro steal
ing and plead not guilty. The defence was con-
Quoted by James NJ. Rutland and James II. Rion,
Esqs, and the State represented by its able solic-
itor, Col. Thomas N. Dawkins. After the testi-
mony being gone through, most able arguments
were made on the part of the defence and the
State. The case was submitted by His Honor Judge
Withers. In less than ten minutes the jury rem
dered verdict of "Not guilty" This trial con-
sumed the greater part Of the day.
On the next day, the 9th inst, Darling Beam
was likewise tried upon the charge of negro steal
ing. The defence and prosecution were conduc-
tod by the same gentlemen above named The
proof of the guilt of the prisoner seemed full and
conclusive. The gentlemen for the defence ar
gued most ingeniously that the case was one of
harboring instead Of negro stealing. The jury,
upon the case being submitted to them, returned
in very short time verdict of ''guilty.' The
Judge, on the day following, imposed the sentence
of death, by hanging, on the first Friday in March,
1857.
William Brown (of the firm Of Brown & Lyons)
was indicted for petty larceny, plead guilty, and
was sentenced to three months Imprisonment, and
to receive sixteen lashes on the first Monday in
December, and the same number upon the day Of
his discharge.

Fearful Case OF Somnambulisnl.

A NIcur ApvENrURE.-We copied yesterday
from Pittsburg exchange, brief announcement
of recent case of somnambulism near that city.
The particulars furnish vivid picture of the per-
lis of this singular phenomenon, and the Narrow
escape of the parent from injuring his child with
gun, in the dark, should be warning to others
not to be too hasty. The case, as stated, occur
red at Oakland, the private residence of gentle
man, and the account says:
"Hearing footsteps upon the stairs about mid
night, and suspecting burglars might be about the
nremises. the gentleman rose from his bed and
took down double barrelled gun, with which in
his hand. he proceeded to the door opening into
tbe hall. Reaching the door, he applied his ear
TO the kew hole, and heard what be thought rust
ling Of garments upon the stairs. Hastily draw
ing chair to the door he stepped upon it and in
serted the gun through the transom. Just then
the thought occurred to him that it might be his
daughter, who sometimes previously was addicted
Ia walking in her sleep. Passing into the hall,
with the gun still in his hand, to be used in case
circumstances warranted it, he found the apart
ment entirely vacant, and lighting lamp, he then
assembled the stairs. Imagine his surprise and
terror on looking out of the chamber window, to
ace among the branches of tall tree which grew
there, his daughter, dressed in her night habili-
ments, and seemingly utterly unconscious Of her
perilous position. Without uttering, word or
making sound calculated to frighten her he step
ned out of the window himself, and winding one
arm tightly about the waist of the sleeping girl,
he, with great exertion, managed to regain the
hall with his precious burthen. The surprise OF
the young lady when she awoke and was informed
of her perilous adventure, can be better imagined
than described"

Singers Sewing Machines.

NNHESE celebrated machines arc in practical and
Il profitable use in all parts Of the civilized
world. In all the various trades, and in sewing
every sort of fabric, either of cloth or leather,
they have been fully tried and approved. Sewing
machines of other manufacturers often fail to
work, but Singers Machines always operate per-
fecty, being strong, durable and complete in con-
trYance and workmanship. A perfect sewing
machine kept employed affords clear profit Of
81, ,OOO year; but an imperfect one is a cause Of
constant vc1ation and loss. The entire reliability
of our machines is one great reason for their un-
paraleled popularity.
Machines for family sewing, of frail and del
icatc construction, are recommended by other
manufacturers. Such machines are made to catch
the eye, not to perform substantial work. The
truth is, family sewing machines ought 10 be
stronger than any other, because they 60 into less
skilful hands than when sold to manufacturers,
and are used for greater variety Of work. The
machines which have proved best for all other pur-
poses must be best for family use, and they are
Singers. The speed of our machines has lately
been doubled. No other can compare with them
in quantity of work.
peA. New machines of the latest improved style
will be exchanged on liberal terms for old sewing
machnet of our own make, or for operative ma
chimes of other manufacturers. Local agents
wanted to sell our machines.
N B.-All persons desiring full information a.
bout sewing machines, cam obtain it by applying
for q copy of 81. NJ. Singer & Co.'S Gazette"
paper devoted entirely to this subject. 1t will be
sent gratis. /. NJ. SINGER & co.

Spread OF NIornlonisn.

with wonderful rapidity The 'Latter-Day Saints
as they style themselves, evince great activity in
making converts to their faith In Great Britain

agricultural classes, have joined them. In Ham.
burg they have issued German translation of the
Book of Mormon In Saxony they have succeed
Dresden, carefully avoiding any collision with the
police, who are the alert for new religious
sects, suspecting every new doctrine to be mere
cloak for some political plot. The apostles seem
to have plenty of funds at their command, appa.
