SPIRITUALIsM RUNNING THRoUGH.-There has
got to be such q confusion of isms and opinions
mixed up with Spiritualism that it is becoming
disgusting to the sober people, and we learn
that many of its first operators y are re-
nouncing it. The Freeman's Journal, speaking
of Miss Fox's conversion to Catholicism, says
+" For many years past, Miss Margaret Fox
has refused to hold any communication with
these spirits, from conviction of its dangers
and its unlawful character. Such right-minded
resolutions, with the grace of God, have
brought her at length to that faith to which,
alone, the deceiving wonders of Spirltualism
present nothing inexplicabe. Miss Fox's pro-
fession of the Catholic faith is slr enough from
casting any suspicion of colluson or imposture
on her former life, or on that Of the members of
her family, who still, unfortunately, engage in
those occult practices She renounces, for her
SELF all such communications, having been for
months carefully preparing under the instruc-
lions of Mr.. QUINN
The Spiritual Telegraph adds;
We deem it proper to say that Miss Fox
does not deny the reality and spiritual origin of
the rapping sounds heard in her presence; but
the peculiar state of mind in which she has been
during the past year or more, has led her to
dlscountenance Them
New MAP OF NORTHERN VERMONT The pub
fishers of the new map of Essex, Orleans and
Lamoille Counties, are vigorously prosecuting
the work of surveys, and the people will soon
be called upon to subscribe to the creditable
undertaking. The map is to comprise the three
counties on one sheet, and will give every river,
stream, road and mountain, and the exact loca-
ton of each persons dwelling in the Counties.
This is an undertaking which should be en-
Outraged by the people of the State, not only
because it is a poor-paying enterprise to the
publishers, but it will bring a part of the State
into notice which is thinly inhabited, but the
best calculated for dense population of any
portion of the State. No one who is acquaint-
ed with the territory of which we speak, but
will agree with us, and we hope the enterprise
will be literally encouraged

The Kansas Herald of Freedom says, that the
vote against the Lecompton Constitution will
equal $4,000, while the vote for it will not ex-
coed 1000, Is against it to one for it. What
becomes of the black republican (wish) that
Kansas would be a slave State -Nashua Ga
2ette
What becomes of James Buchanan's declar-
alton in his Annual Message, last December,
that j" Kansas is at this moment as much a
slave State as Georgia or South Carolina p
Every word of that message was endorsed by
the Gazette If Kansas was slave State last
December, will that paper tell us who abolished
slavery there and made it free?

a WAC OF A PUBLICAs.-Solon Cook, of
Cook Hotel, Ann Arbor, has been ANNOYED a
good deal with longing customer about his
reading room, who always made it point to be-
the hrst to get hold of the newspapers as thew
were brought in, and the last to lay them down
while paying customers would be waiting to
get q sight at them. The Ann Arbor News
tells the balance of the story:
The other day, when the Local Necs was
brought In, X. was the first to Greece to it
solon grew FESTIVE; he stepped back and squinted
over his spectscles, and drew his mouth awry.
Then stepping mp to r., he tapped him on the
shoulder and beckoned him 10 the desk. Look
here, said SolOn, it's pretty hard times. and
I've been thinking that am keeping too much
help, and IT you have no objection we will
square on and quit. L regret very much to part
with your services, but in these hard times we
md 1t necessary to deprive ourselves of a
great many Injuries. L have figured up your
account, and lind just this amount due you,
at the same time handing him $50 bill on the
Bank of Sandstones.

e The Rev. Peter Sharp, of Michigan, was
once member OF the Ohio Annual Conference
AT one OF their sittings brother had been tried
for heresy, and, finally, the charges were con-
sdered proved, and he was duly convicted
The members sat silent, perhaps revolving in
their OWE minds what punishment ought to be
meted out to this erring brother, who did not
understand the book just exactly as they did.
At length the presiding bishop asked
brother 2''
Uprose Peter Sharp, and, with great gravity,
said, II move that he be burned at the stake -
The motion was strong one, and it brought
into such glaring light the folly Of Furnishing
men for errors of judgment, that the confer.
ence made the sentence as gentle as they pos
sibly could.

INSURANCE NOT SURE.-Tbe California cor
respondent OF the New York Daily Times. has
the assurance to get off the following on Insur-
ance Companies:
bankers are but men, and very much like
insurance oftices, where the principle is to be-
heye every man a thief or swindIer until he
can prove otherwise, and they are skeptical be-
yond all reason. Insurance is nice thing-a
beautiful system. / tried it once, insured q
vessel. She got knocked into ''Smithereens ="
bad her repaired under the eye of their agent
On settlement they treated me to a treatise on
'Jetsom, "hotsom, ""general average ," "nayi-
CATION, and several other sciences A broker
rendered beautiful document all figured over
and ruled in red ink, and we settled. They
hrst charged me what had paid for repairs,
tnen charged 1t back to the vessel-then charged
the vessel the difference between what she then
was and formerly was not-then deducted what
she ought to have been-charged me back the
insurance had paid, and having by some en-
ror small balance in my favor, they gave that
to the broker for making out the papers Not
being a scientific mathematician. I took the
document home and figured all day on it, and
the result stood thus: L had been allowed
the privilege OF repairing my own vessel a my
own cost-to pay two notes not half due and
put SO In Broker Jones pocket for the con-
coctlon OF all the mysteries of Daboll smmered

green ribbon. 1t is very pretty thing-I have

confinement to Sing Sing, I want the privilege
OF taking the document with me- In ten or fif-
teen years L might begin to comprehend it."

A sub Committee Of the Bankers of our City
recently made report on the cayses and cure OF
Commercial Panics, which was in good psrt pub
lshed without comment in our commercial depart
mept. The recommendations of tha. Report were
as follows:
"Fsrsf That tie banking laws Of this State be so
amended that no bank shall hereafter be permitted ~
exteud It's loans discounts, ard other investments,
an amount eqgsl TO the sum ot its capts half
iscaptal and the specie IN It's vaults; nor shall II be
permitted TO let is spece st any tune fal below ~ per
cent OF lis ;m,leiise liabilities exclusive o its circu-
la.ing notes That banks hereafter 10 De organize
before comm. ncing business TO have their entire esp
a paid up in fell il specie; and that ali bsnk. be
hcresfter prohibited from making loans ehcr directly
or indirectly on their own stock.
Second Ths. sll laws against rsury he repealed.
Thiri That the circulation Of sll bank notes OF
less denomination than ten dollars be suppressed, by
means OF q stamp duty to be levied by Congress.
s. sfes through ts diferert Treasures, receive gold
from the people and receipts certificates OF de-
nos; the or in suns oi net less than cne hundrs
dollars.
On these propositions, We propose 10 say 8
few words:
I've do cot believe requirement that q certain
amount or proportion Of specie shall be kept in the
vaults Of the Banks Of any value; because Bank
in rsscaly hands or in failing circumstances will
.lrsys be found minus the specie aforesaid. We
spprehepd such a requisiton i|p,r!s dciusve
sense of security, AID thus leads to rsa pers and
