destroys all heather temples and idols, and his
followers observe the forms Of Christian wor.

Professor Emmons, in his report to
the legislature of North Carolina, mentions
the discovery, in the sedimentary rocks Of
Montgomery county, in that State, of fossils
of an age anterior to any previous discoveries
of traces Of animal lie. The distinguished
geologst contends, therefore, that so far as
investigations have resulted il discoveries,
that part OF the country was the scene of the
first manifestation of that great principle.
The particulars of shocking murder

Prayer at the Springs. -The daily prayer
meeting at Saratoga Springs is already the in
strument of visible influence upon the place.
AT the Union Hotel, the Sabbath evening in
the parlors, instead of being merely an occa-

In q miscellaneous performance by the
great Handel Festival Chorus at the Crystal
Domino was sung to the chant given in Tall
lis's Service, which Is the first Gregorian

simple yet majestic strain from two thousand
voices, accompanied by the powerful organ,
was indescribably grand.
Mission among the Mormons.-The cores
pondent of the New FORK Times, in late
letter from Utah, writes: 1.-The presence of
the army here will make an opening for mis-.
sionary enterprise, which should not be lost
sight of. The mass of people in this valley,
and especially the young, never heard of any
religious faith except Mormonism. Perhaps
no other influence would be so powerful in
breaking up the Mormon Theocracy as the
establishment here of an evangelical church,
or several of them, in which pure religion
and undehled truth may be presented in bold
contrast with the revolving doctrines preached
and practiced among these spurious saints
a letter from the Rev. S. H. hobbs states
that Bishop SeIwyn visited Norfolk Island in
September last, and held a confirmation,
when eighty-six persons were confirmed.
The whole population OF the Island amounts
to only one hundred and ninety-seven per-
sons. They were lately inhabitants of Pit
cairns Island, and have been removed by the
British Government.

The Vesper Bell.

Evening gently DER us steals;
Sinks the sun in ether's deep,
And isnguid nature gladly tails
In nights 0utstretched arns-aseep
Gaily onward still we glide,
ga the lakes peluoid breast;
GENTLY rock We on its Tide,
Lulled BY evening breeze to rest
All around is still, and brings
Vslmness to the troubled soul,
While from off the distant shore
comes the Vespe evening toll.
From above the stars peep down,
smiling brightly DER the scene,
While the gentle moon on high
Sheds on all her silver beam.
Sweetly, on the listening ear
Comes again that vesper chime
calling all to grateful prayer,
Soon as c)mes the eventime.
Grateful incense to the skies
From my hearts, deep recess wells;
Heartfelt thaaks for earthly Joys,
At the sound Of vesper bells.
When my bark of life I've steered
The shoals and quick sands % fely through,
Heaven, decked with radiant gems
VIII rise TO my enraptured view
There, before the scenes love-
Have vanished from my vision, even,
Borne upon seraph's wing,
Will come the Yesper chime Of heaven

MISS BRAIN sRD 5 grand concert comes of next
Tuesday. 1t is but rarely we have an opportuni-
ty to hear an artistic of her merits one whose
voice is feesh and beautiful whose style is pure
and classic, without any cap-trap or gaudy super
fatalities, and whose fine abilities and high pro-
fessional standing, the metropolitan press, with
unusual unanimty, acknowledge.
Miss Branerd, some four or five years since,
began to make sensation in New York, although
her musical career may have commenced before
that time. The following is from New York
paper of December, 1858:
Messiah The grand performance of the
Messiah, on Christmas night, at the Metropoli-
tan Hall, Julian'S superb orchestra, in commune.
ton with the Harmonic Society, was truly mag
nifcent performance. The Hall was crammed in
every part Of it, not less than five thousand per
sons being present. Miss Maria S.
Brainerd achieved perfect-a brilliant success.
She sang the whole soprano part-seven difficult
and irving pieces, unsurpassably well. Mdle
Anna Zerr to have shared the part with Miss
BIainerd dividing it, is customary with the
soprano music of the Messiah but for some un.
explained reason, she declined at the last mo-
ment, leaving Miss Brauerd to sustain the entire
part unaided; and nobly did she accomplish 1t,
far exceeding the most sanguine expectations of
her numerous friends and admirers No other
vocalist in the country could have gone through
this part so we'll. Sgnor Badiali, the great Ital-
ian baritone, appeared in a role on this occa-
son.''
Miss Brainerd has undoubtedly very high
in her profession; the press everywhere speak
well of her, and all who have heard her, speak
uniformly in high admiration of her.

The POISONING CASE AT VALLEY FAILS
The jury Of inquest on the remains of VIM. W
Jones, the first husband of Mrs. Studley, had
their final meeting on Tuesday, when written
statements were presented by DR.. Clapp and Mr.
Bella P. Clapp, stating that an analysis of the
other portions Of the body of VIM. w Jones, as
recommended by the jury, had been made, and
resulted in the detection of arsenic.
The jury, after consultation, returned verdict
that they were of the opinion that the deceased
came to his death by arsenic, administered to him
by some person to the Jurors unknown.

arsenic was found, and they concluded their in.
quest on Thursday. The most direct testimony
elected, which connected Mrs. Studley with the
administration OF the poison, was that Of Mrs.
Gopher Skinner, who testified that three OF four
years ago, Mrs. studley intmated to her how she
could dispose of her husband, who was sometimes
"difficult to manage" The following was Mrs
Studley's (then Mrs. JOnes) advice

IMMERSION NOT BAPTIsM. By John H. Beck.
with. Boston; John P. Jewett & Co. 1858.
The object Of this little book is sufficiently
indicated by its title. It's a scriptural argument
not to prove merely that immersion is no bet
ter than other baptism, but that it is no baptism
at all, in the scriptural sense Of the word. The
book evinces research, and undoubtedly presents
that side Of the subject in its strongest point OF
view ~ W.di -e rT
