MoRMoNIsM IN CoNNEcTIcuT.- The Mormons Of
Connecticut celebrated the 4th of July on Nauyoo
Island, in Norwalk Bay. Judge Appleby, editor Of
the foul and basphemous Mormon organ in New
York, delivered speech, in speaking of which the
Boston Courier says:
The Judge was all sound upon the Union question,
but in his description of the early history of America
he talked as if screw were loose somewhere None
hut the initiated could comprehend his stories of the
Jerudites and Nephites, and other branches of the
:" ties who came here about the time of the Tower
of Babel or earlier. His doctrine in regard to more
modern mmigrations sounded strangely to GENTLE,
but may be all right in Utah. The AngloSaXons,
according to the Judge, c|me over with Columbus,
and attended grand clam bake, something OF the
sort, Immediately after their arrival; since which
time, the Judge was of opinion that America had
spread itself After the address came the toasts,
which were model toasts. We give couple as speci-
| mems: .
Utah-Up in the mountains, the child of Uncle
Sam, now woman with quite large family. May
she soon change her name to the State of Deseret
her officers be of her own choosing, and take her
postion alongside OF her sisters
Brigham YOung-The prophet and lion of the
Lord the friend OF right and the oppressed; the de
fender of the weak the worlds target terror tc
evil doors the saints know his voice, and when he
roars all the small beasts of the jungle tremble.

A NEW THEoRY.-A writer in the National Intel
igencer is advocating the theory that the moon is
simply the indicator Of the earths electric changes,
upon this planet-that the moon is fragment Of the
earth is negative to it, and revolves upon its own
axis, within the earths atmosphere that the earth
is enveloped in ocean of electric yapor, dense and
compound upon its solid surface, whose gases sepa-
rate, however as they deepen outward the rare al
ways emanating from and resting on the more dense,
until we reach in outward order huorne, electricity
and magnetism, that subtle element pervading all
space and that observing the various atmospheric
strata above and the solid strata below us, it is not
difficult to perceive that men, animals and vegetable
forms are existing in the center of the earths strat
cation. The electric lines of no variation are those
extending from the north to the south pole the dia
magnetic or dia-electric lines are those extending
around the earth from west to east and are ever va
rabe 1t is the variableness of these da-eectric
rents says this writer that produce all the phenom
ena attributed to the influence of the moon upon the
earth. "..-Hr

DEMOCRATIC ROTATION IN OFFIcE.-According to
the following paragraph in the Philadelphia Evening
Journal the application of the doctrine Of rotation
in Office is now carried to extraordinary extremes
We learn that Mrs. Elizabeth Riley, whose hus-
band was old defender. and to whom Gen. Jackson
gave the appointment of lighthouse keeper at North
Point, said position descending by general consent to
retained since under all administrations, sup
planted last week by the appointment her stead Of
Thomas Hanlon, who kept the Calethumpian Head
Quarters 18th Ward. This act effected by Mr.. Mason,
present collector, is received we understand by
his party, ungraeful and contrary to previous
usage. Mrs Riley was assisted in the office by her
son, and it is said the duties of the station al
ways faithfully attended to.

Garland which has had the benefit Of an extensive
circulation through the press Of the couutryrepre-
sented that Mr. D. Barton Ross, gentleman of high
attanments and the first repectability attempted to
commit suicide in the city Of Petersburg, Va, on the
11h ult, and that the act was indeed BY disappont
ment in the failure Of his attempts to advance South
ern literature. As this view Of the case was particu-
larry dwelt upon by several widely known journals in
the North, we deem the publication Of NJ. Ross's

slender blade, inflicted in my left side two fearful
incisiens from which the blood flowed with rapdity
that must have proved fatal in few minutes, had
not been discovered almost instantly and received the
most skillful surgical aid. The left lung was found

not practically engaged in the manufacture. suit
able quantity of canvass gauze, muslin, calico, linen,
ETC., is wound upon roller, which is introduced be-
tween the third press felt of ourdrinier paper ma
chine and between said roller and the endless felt
trough is introduced containing solution OF gum,
glue, etc. with roller partially immersed in it, Pulp
being now allowed to flow upon the endless wire
wheel of the machine paper is made in the ordinary
way and when the endless sheet of paper has been
led through the machine, the end of the cloth is
brought over the upper part of the roller in the
trough and moved onwards in the direction the paper
is proceeding. The motion of the cloth causes the
roller to revolve, and the adhesive material carried
then laid upon the paper it passes the roller

By passing between these rollers the cloth and paper
are firmly united, and, being dried by the steam
cylinders, form the compound fabric. A paper sur

INTERESTING GUNpowDER ExrERIMENT-The fol
lowing is from the Druggists Circular published in
New York:
In his seventh lecture at the Smithsonian Institute
Dr. Reid described the failure of an intending incen
diary to do great act of mischief by the very means
he adopted to make his success more certain. Thus,
to insure an explosion ofgunpowder in certain case
the fellow had covered it with quantity Of spirits of
turpentine but on igniting it only the turpentine
burnt, and the powder continued as before. The
philosophy of this the lecturer showed by striking
experiment, wherein again and again turpentne
poured on quantity of gunpowder was ignited and
burned out, and the powder remained unburnt This
was explained the principle of the candle that the
gunpowder acts wick to the turpentine, and will
not itself ignite long any of the turpentine re-
mains to burn. piece of common cotton cloth
such as ladies' dresses made of, was then burnt
and then piece of similar texture which had beer
dipped in solution of salammoniac, was exposed te
the action Of fire but would not burn. A similar
piece stepped in solution of secate of potash wa
also shown to be quite ncombustibe.

DANGEROUS ARTILLERY.-In the Wheeling (Ea.
Argus of the 7th inst, we find the following:

Several young men, Scott among the number,
drilled hole in % ffty-six" weight, and had used
it as cannon to fire salute to the new Courier .
On Friday afternoon having determined to salute the
Jane Franklin, also Wheeling and Parkersburg
packet, they charged their dangerous piece to the
muzzle, and having rammed it between two rocks
upon the wharf endeavoring to discharge it as
the boat rounded to. DR.. Drake, who was passing
them on his way to the boat smoking cigar, noticed
touched the cigar to the primng, when the piece was
blown into fragments, one of which tore away the
half of his head He was thrown nearly twenty feet
over the bank. Young Scott was also thrown over
the bank, and when taken up was found to have
his thigh most horribly crushed arm broken and
suffering from severe internal injuries. It is said that
the surgeons removed twentyone pieces of bone from
his thigh, and that amptuation of the arm would be
necessary from the manner in which it was crushed.

THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 1s, 1857.
Better to Die like Them than Live like Him

Alta late meeting OF the American Tract Society in
Boston, the Rev. Mr.. Stone made the following re-
marks =" would speak of the providence Of God
with becoming reverence bnt 1t il instructive fact
that Brooks, the nephew, was in ashes, Butler the
uncle, was about to be buried, while Sumner. the
victim, was improving in health and receiving the
honors of the courts of Europe"
Yes, Brooks is dead, and Butler in his grave,
While the malignant, base and bastard slave,
Bold in his tongue but coward in his heart,
Assailed the uncle with his poison'd dart;
And when the nephew paid the old mans score,
Crouched like a cur and groveed on the floor,
Figures at courts $50 says the good Parson Stone
Like other rogues, most honored where least known
Heavens who would not prefer an honored grave
10 such life as that of this vile slave?
Who would not rather from this world be torn,
Than live the mark of every brave mans scorn?
To skulk from notice in foreign land,
And crouch and kiss the despots iron hand
Happy the dead whom all the living prize
Wretched the living, who all men despise.

DARING ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT TO MURDER.-The
Mobile Tribune of Tuesday says:
On Saturday last, about 10 O'Clock in the morning,
two negroes, woman and man, went to the resi-
dence OF an old German lady living on Marine street,
between Massachusetts and New Hampshire streets,
knocked her down and kicked her in the side, brus-
ing her very badly They then took her to hole
alongside Of the well, threw her down into it, and
covered it up with planks. After this vlainy, they
then proceeded to ransack the house, and obtained
therein, learn about the sum of $3.50 in cash. As
yet the officers have been unable to obtain any clue
to the perpetrators of the brutal outrage and attempt
to murder. The old lady is slowly recovering from
the severe bruises she received.
