MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A MIsER.--A few
weeks since a Spanish gentleman Of high con"
nections, named Stephen Despratt, died in
London, under circumstances Of most extra
ordinary nature. Although in the possession of
wealth to the amount of $4,000, he was so
penurious that he denied himself the common
uecessaries Of life, and finally carried his
frightful avarice to such an extent that his
laudlady was compelled TO call in medical adj
vice, in consequence of his being discovered in
an insensibIe and exhausted condition in his
apartments, the result of actual starvation.
On a post mortem examination, the stomach
was found empty, and in a withered condition.
His apartments exhibited a most extraordinary
collection Of multiludinous trash, picked up by
the wretched old miser for years past.

Initiating . Mormon.
From the Ree.l

- 1ET0M lAH DEEsE
John Hyde, formerly an Elder in the
Church of the Latter-Da Saints, lectured
on Mormonism last Tuesday evening, in
Lyceum Hall. He began by giving a
succinct account of the rise and progress
Of Mornionism 10 this country, and dwelt
at considerable length upon the tyranny
exercised by Brigham Young over his
deluded followers =
The lecturer then went on to speak of
the ludicrous ceremonies attending the
initiation Of the neophytes into the Nor
mon church. The men are separated
from the women. Both are then stripped
naked, and while in this condition an
Elder, supposed to represent the Lord,
enters the mems apartments and kneads
them, in commemoration Of the process
to which our first fathers clay is thought
TO have been subjected before being en-
dowed with vitality. The neophytes are
then annointed with sacred oil, and there
is whispered in their ears a new name
which they are warned as they value their
salvation never to forger. They are then
dressed in uniform, and when the band
age is removed from the mems eyes, each
one sees q woman standing beside him
similarly accoutered 10 himself. The men
ore thereupon led through d succession Of
rooms, four ia number, IN n Of which.
after the performance Of sundry mystic
and heathenish rites, they are made to
take a solemn oath BY which they row an
eternal hatred 10 and warfare against the
United States and its Institutions, until
they shall have been uproOted aud over.
turned, and until the very remembrance
OF them shall have ceased among men.
The new Adam and Eve then wander
forth into d garden. not quite SO large as
Eden, where they behold a bunch of rails
ms tied with q piece Of thread to the limb
Of q tree. An oullandish looking fellow,
dressed ia red and supposed to typify the
devil, then rttshes in and invites the
to pull down said raisins and emf
them, which, Of course, she proceeds to
do, whereup0n enter the Lords with a
formal request that the pair should Vacate
The premises forthwith; promising them,
however, al the same time that d Savior
finally appear to reinstate them
therein. The lecturer alluded to the fact J
