Explosion Of i, Metallic CONN,

@ A few years huve served to bring into ex.
tensve use for burial purposes, the com mol II
metallic cases or cofins, especially when.
ever it is desirable or necessary TO delay in.
terment. When fist introduced !, was The
practice to exhaust the air in these cases
after the body had been put in, to secure
them fully, it WINS said, against change by
contact with the atmosphere. Fur various
reasons this practice has fallen into disuse,
the only precautioD now tuken, being to
completely cool the remains before seuling
up the case. From some neglect in this
latter respect, a circumstance took place not
long since, which originated here, is worth
relating. The case contained an adult who
had deceased while apparently in good
health, was sealed up TO be sent Tor inter.
ment into a neighboring State. The con.
veyuhce for half duy's ride was by railroad.
and by wagon TOR 80 miles. The day was
warm and the road was rough, and m uch
motion wos doubtless given to the remains.
The persons in charge stopped tor a brief
res Ut u tavern, and were in the house when
they, as we'll as all III the vicinity, were
startled by a very loud report, and it was
found that the burial case hud, by q rapid
generation of gases exploded with great
violence, entirely blowing out the heavy
French glass face plate, which 1t shattered
into thousand pieces. Nothing could be
done but to seek hasty interment in the
vicinity, and await the coming ofcold weath.
er to allow the removal Of the remains to
their destined place OF burial.

Twenty Years Governed by AN

rick William Third. The writer supports
his assertions by variety of stateRents.--
He says that the King had lucid intervals
which were made use Of by the Queen, to
dissipate all doubts as to the condition Of his
L,ind. The following incidents are related
"l'here still exists an old custom at Pots
dam, according to which the fishermen once
in the yeur pav to the King an old feudal
tribute of fish. On that occasion, the Queen,
to prove 10 some Of the people the false.
hood of the rumors then freely circulating
as to the state of the roNvul mind, dared TO in.
vite the foremost of these men 10 ilsh din.

In foct, the dinner went off pretty we'll, the
King muttetng some words Learned BY rote,
smiling, and ON the whole, behaving =, per

we'll aot up should be spoiled, hastcned It.

when all at once the King rose, and in o
numbering voice demanded to be put in

ing converted into fish became reality

Portugal, who celebrated her nuptials at
Berlin per procure, the King was to have
publicly assisted at the church ceremonies.
Everything was, ready. and ministers, uids.
decamps. courtiers, foreign ambassadors, and
the bride herself, were waiting for him,
when oil at once, despite the desperate ei-
forts Of the Queen, he was overtaken by the
hu!lucinaton Of believing himself the BRIDE
groom. Some queer remarks he dropped as
to his singular destiny in being married again
during the lifetime of his fret spouse, and as
to the impropriety of his (the BRIDE esroom's)
appearance in military uniform, lett his
exhibitors no choice but'to countermund the
spectacle which had been announced"

A New Religious Sect i'm Iowa. /.

Some sixty miles north Of Council Bluff
in the county of Mononn, about fifteen miles
from the Missouri River, there is town con.
tanning six or eight hundred inhabitants
generally known as Preparation.
This town is the Zion Of new body o
religious enthusiasts, who call themselves
,"Conjeprezites," and their system of reli
gious organization "Conjpprezion." ond the
meaning Of which term remains to the Gen.
tile world profound mystery.
At the head Of the organization is a man
by the name o: Charles b. Thompson, who
is besides, the editor Of weekly paper call.
ed the NcUs Paper. This paper is large,
we'll printed and upon general and political
subjects is edited with much ability.
OF this sheet one or two poges are usual |.
ly devoted to the publication of what are
called "open letters" upon religious sub.
jects, addressed by Charles B. Thompson, as
follows:
"The Chief Apostolic Pastor and Euan.
eelicol Bishop TO all the Elders of IsraeI,
Evangelical and Travelling Presbyters of The
Ecclesiastical Kingdom, and the Bishops,
Presbyters, Deacons and Members of the
ConjeprezioD, scattered abroad throughout
the world, sendeth greeting"
These letters are all dated at the slower
Of the fock," and are most curious speci.
mems Of iucomprehcnsible cant, being made
up of passages from the Bible, extracts from
"the Book OF the Law and Covenant of Is.
rael," and remarks by the "Chief Apostolic
PASTOR" unfortunately mixed up toge.
ther.
From what we can learn from these let.
ters, this curious sect believes in the Bible
us the word Of God but holds that it is in
a measures done away with by new revela-
tions made since the year l848, by the
"voice Of Baneemy" through the medium of
the "Chief Apostolical Bishop" These
new revelations are styled "the Law and
Covenants. OF Israel"
The property OF the organ ization is held
in common, and the earnings Of all are
thrown into common stock, somewhat af.
ter the manner of the Shakers. The peo
pie are said to be quiet and orderly in their
department, moral in their customs, aud
most devotedly and blindly attached to their
religion or system OF belief.
However strange it may appear, this or
gnnization has, during the last year, rapidly
increased from fifty to eight hundred mem.
berS' and is still receiving large accessions
to its members.
