The Jefferson City (Mo.] Examiner, of

''By the arrival OF young man named
Robert Brandon we have been furnished
with the following information from SaI
Lake II came down with two Mormon
trains from Camp Scott, numbering about
800 persons, principally women, who
were chiefly English and some Scotch;
and the principal topic of their conversa-
ton throughout was the absurdity OF Nor
monism and lis principles. They were
all unanimous in their denunclations Of
Brigham Young and his apostles, and
talked of his assassination by the Nor
mons who remained at Camp Scott, as a
sure event. They have all (wilhout excep-
tion) become Disguised with Mormonism.
and renounced it, and expressed their de-
termination from hencefcr TO use all their
efforts for the total annihilaIlon of Nor
monism."

Mr.. George w. Showaller,to Miss Sarah

The above are the loving couple who,
when few days ago an alarming accident
happened to the Car in which they were
riding, on the Winchester and Potomac
Railroad. fell irto each others loving en-
brace, resolved to live or perish together.
We learn from the Rockingham Valley
Democrat, that the bride is an heiress OF
some IL summers, whose marriage to the
lucky Mr.. Showaller affords considerable
disappointment among numerous fortune

speculalor in sheep, in cattle, blackberrles
and hoop-poles, was disturbed in his
nightly dreams by visions ofuntold wealth
accumulated by the magic Aladdin lamp

all to one purpose her heart seemed en-

We admired the bridal attire Of Miss
Meyers. As near as we can estimate, lis
entire cost was about 3 dollars. A dark
nine penny calico dress with sunbonnet OF
the same-$l, shoes s |, and other invisi-
bles, say 81 more. There were no hoops
or any need Of them. Her natural bulge
was sufficient without them. In truth,

When the cars landed a, our depot, before
the fashionable and ''slore- clothes people
