seript Of the 10Th ult., gives an account
of the arrest Of woman named ANNA

"Then came the richest disclosures
that our ears have ever listened to. The
room was soon filled with twenty men and
women, who had formerly been the dis
ciples of the accused, but were now ready
to testify against her. They We're nearly
all Germans. But seven of them were
examined, and the evidence Of all was so
similar that we give the substance as fol-

Mrs. Master, 1t seems, has represented
herself, as before stated, as the sister of
the Saviour, and claimed to have especial
powers bestowed upon her from Heaven.
She had been directed to form on this
sublunary sphere a society, whose mem
bers, when they are numerically strong,
would depart from this country for Mt
st. Bernard. Upon arriving there they
would Immediately be taken into a supe-

come to pass, the prophecies required
gifts of what Shakespeare calls vile
trash" Her modesty, however, would
not allow her to ask her votaries directly
for these, so when in want of any valua-

lowers and inform them that she had re-
ceived a message from Paradise, to the
effect that such an object must be pro-
cured. Furthermore, was it given in ev-

means obtained large sums of money.
But while those who complied with
the demands of the prophecies were sus

EE The Constitutional Convention,
a connected report of whose proceedings
it has been out of our power to obtain,
has, we believe, adopted provision for
the establishment of banks of issue.
After considerable discussion, an
amendment making the sessions Of the
legislature annual was voted down.
An amendment, making the guberna-
toriai term Two years in length, has been
adopted.

wAFsIpINICoN VALLEY RAILROAD.

&c Our townsman, b. S. DAVIS, who
together with Messrs. BARrLE, Of indie.
pendcnce, and PATTERSON, of Fairbanks
was deputed by the citizens Of this coun.
ty, to confer with individuals and com.
panies in reference to the projected rail
road up this valley, has just returned
from New York City, where he and Dr..
BARrLE were called in fultherance of this
object.
We are happy in being enabled TO in
form our readers that these gentlemen
have received the most flattering assur
ances of aid and cooperation from the
directors and stockholders of the Chica
go Air Line Road, both from those who at
present own and direct it as well as from
those into whose hands large part of it
is about to pass. The project has been
warmly commended by men whose opin-
ions are law upon these matters, and who
are ready to back that commentator by
pecuniary aid and personal influence
Some of these men are fully acquainted
with the topography and resources Of the
route from personal observation, and de-
clare that it is one of the most feasible in
the country and its advantages-pres-
ent and prospective-such as must render
the enterprise productive and profitable.
In Lyons, in Maquokcta, in Anamos;,
in Jones County, the committee have re-
ceiyed most unqualified assurances of CO.
operation and aid. In Jones county
alone, nearly one hundred thousand dol.
lars of individual subscription will be
forthcoming and the most satisfactory
evidences have been given by the people
of Waverly, of Bradford, and Of Mitchell
county, in the Northern portion of oul
State, that they are awake to the impor-
lance of the subject, and will do all thai
they can do for its contamination.
By reference to another column, it will
be seen that call has been issued for a
convention of the counties of Jones, Bu-
chanan, Bremen, Mitchell, &c, for the
purpose of forming company for the
construction of road from at or neal
Anamosa, in Jones County, to the NORTH
line of the State, in the direction of tn,
Great Bend of the st. Peters. The ne
cessity for the formation of the company
| is obvious. Without such corporate
existence no arrangement of a definite
and binding nature can be made will
other companies and in order to thwar
the Vaccinations of adverse interests W,
must be prompt and energetic. Besides
reliable proposition has been made, tina
if company is organized, and will sur
vey and grade the road, the proposin:
company will iron and place the rolling
stock upon it, taking stock in the road a
an equivalent. In road of such easy
[construction rs this. where little or u.
heavy grading Is necessary, and where
timber is comparatively plenty along thu
whole route, this offer becomes mos
liberal and acceptable one and if thu
people along the route are true to their in
terests, it will not be long before the irol
horse will be galloping past us on his wa.
TO the timbered regions of Minnesota.

This announcement we make with the

that efforts are being made to bring about
peace. The Murray affair, we are as
sured forms no serious part of the nego-

There is at present every reason to hope
that these negotiations will terminate in
the establishment of amiable relations
between the English and Persian govern

Indian Summer.

The weather has been very fine ; our "1n-
dian summer" with its fine skies, fine, airy
and hazv horizon, having come upon us ear
lier than usual-Nontreol Gazette, Oct. II.
There is time, just when the frost
Prepares to pave old Winters way,
When Autumn, in a reverie lost,
The mellow daytime dreams away;
When Summer comes, in musing mind,
To gaze once more on him and dell.
To mark how many sheaves they bind,
And see if all are ripened well.
With balmy breath she whispers low,
The dying flowers look up and give
Their sweetest incense, ere they go,
For her who made their beauties live.
She enters meath the Woodlands shade;
Her zephyrs lift the lingering leaf,
And bear it gently where are laid
The loved and lost ones of its grief,
At last, old Autumn, rising. takes
Again his sceptre and his throne;
With boisterous hands the tree he shakes,
Intent on gathering all his own.
Sweet Summer. signing, fees the plain,
And waiting Winter. gaunt and grim,
Sees miser Autumn hoard his grain,
And smiles to think it's all for him.
