only Jo4rded-~had seen much suffering
there from famine. and had seen also the
error of her ways Said she had been mad,
had now left the Mormons and come to live
with her parents and children, and to do
what she could to make them happy. She
asked them to restore her once more to their
confidence. Of course the delight of her
parents WAS boundless. She did not profess,
however, to have renowned Mormonsm but
wished not to return to Utah, and insisted
that the Mormons were good people, and
Brigham and his associates in Office true
prophets If these drawbacks upon the value
of her repentance created regret or lin
gering suspicion in the minds of her parents,
they did not express it, grateful and happy
that she had done 50 much as she had, and
made even a quasi confession as to the i'm
propriety of her past conduct, and hoping,
doubtless, that time would accomplish what
was lacking in her complete recovery from
her horrible deiasfa.
On last Saturday morning, she requested
permission to take her children into town
her parents live in the suburbs-to 60 shop
ping, AVID promising to return by Eve or six
o'clock in the evening. The permission was
readily granted, and they have seen neither
her nor her children since. She has accom-
plished her purpose and she is of course
on her way back to Utah with her children,
to be thrust into the opening throat of the
grim yisaged aud horrible monster, who sits
midway upon the Rocky Mountains tapping
his repulsivo jaws, and eager to derour new
victims as they become entangled in his foul,
his leproas coils.
Her assimilation was profound, was per-
feet. So much for Iormonism.

iii Matamoras, Mexico, about month ago
s'It seems that u young lady Of Matamo-
ras was taken sick, aud an old lady Of the
neighborhood, reported to have some skill
in the virtue of herbs, was solicited to visit
and administer to the patient. From some
cause or other, the old lady failed to attend,
and suspicious reports were circulated that
the old lady bad beWitched the young one.
Officers were sent to take her before her
supposed victim, and these miserably igno-
rant wretches reported that they, on several
occasions, repaired to her donieile, and
could not find her at home but found in
stead a suspicious looking black eat. After
several efforts, however, they found the No-

Curious Eoye Story.

A very curious story is told by several
ancient writer's respecting Egirvard, sce-
rotary to Charlemagne, and daughter of
that Emperor. The secretary fell in love
with the princess, who at length allowed
him to visit her. One winters night he
stayed with her very late and in the mean
time deep snow had fallen If he left,
f5otluarks would he Observed, and yet to
stay would expose him to danger. At length
the princess resolved to carry him on her
back to a noigbboring house, which she did.
Ii happened, however, from the window Of
his bedroom, the Emperor saw the affair
In the Assembly of the lords, on the next day,
when Egiryard and his daughter were pres
ent, he asked what ought to be done to Il
man who compelled a kings daughter to
carry him on her shoulders thro' frost and
and snow, in the middle of winters night !?
They answered that he was worthy of death
The lovers were alarmed, but the Emperor,
addressing Egiryard, said" IIadst thou
loved my daughter thou shouldst have come
to me thou art worthy Of death, but / give
thee two lives, Take thy fair porter in mar
riage, fear God and love one another"

using language tending to encourage iusaf-
reetionary movements among the slave pop
ulation, several citizens repaired to his res
sdence to arrest him. On being brought to
the village The charges against him were
subjected to a rigid investigation, and dur
ing the examination the following facts we're
ineontestibly proved: One witness testified
that he had heard Hunt say that the white
man had no more right of ownership in the
negro than Tire negro had in the white man;
and If it came to the test he would sooner
light for the negroes than ths white people.
Another witness testified that he heard him
say that he would have rcjoiced in the cleo
don of Fremont, as in that event the ne
groes would have been freed and chat IN
ease Of collision between the whites and
blacks he would take the side opposed 10 the
white people; whereupon the indignant
