pendent of the New York Tribune, writing
from steamboat on the Mississippi river,
says;
81 heard one rough looking farmer giving
his spiritual experience of an interview with

Samson rose and shook it, They then seized
it by the legs. Samson pulled the legs off.
They then threw themselves upon the TOP.
but Samson held the table suspended in mid
air, like Mabomet's coffin, without any legs.

the great entertainment of the season. Others

Two old persons, brother and sister,
named Wilson, were killed during Thursday

Pa. A dissolute niece of theirs had been
staying at the house, but left, saying that she

She did not, however, take the direction of
that place, and from her subsequent mysteri-
GUS actions, there seems general belief that
she murdered her relatives to get their money,
about 5000, which they had managed to hoard
up.

winter had pressed hard upon the newly ar
