THREE HUNDRED MORMON WOMEN RENoUNcING
TIE FA1rH.-The Jefferson City (Mo) Examiner, Of
the 14th inst, says:
~"Bv the arrival of young man named Robert
Brandon, we have been furnished with the following
information from Salt Lake: 81 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 conversation throughout was the ab-
surdty of Mormonism and its principles. They
were all unanimous in their denunciatons of Brig
ham Young and his apostles, and talked of his as
sassination by the Mormons who remained at Camp
Scott, as sure event. They have all (without ex-
ception) become disgusted with Mormonism. and re-
nounced it, and expressed their determination from
henceforth all their efforts for the total ami.
hilation of Mormonism."

ADVICE TO CoNsUNPTIvE PERSoNS.-FREsH AIR.
DR. Halls Journal ol Health gives the following ad-
vice to consumptives:
Eat all you can digest, and exercise a great deal
in the open air, to convert what you cat into pure,
healthy blood. Do not be afraid of door air day
or night Do not be afraid of sudden changes Of
weather: let no change hot cold keep you in
doors If it is rainy weather the more need of your
going out because you eat as much upon a rainy
day upon 4 clear day; and if you exercise less,
that much more remains in the system Of what
onght to be thrown off by exercise. and some i'll
suit, some consequent symptom or i'll feeling is the
certain issue. If it is cold out DOORS do no. muffle
eyes, nose or mouth in furs veil. woolen COM
fnrters and the like; nature has supplied you with
the hest mutfer the best inhang regulator-that is
two lips; shut them before you step out of a warm
room into the cold air. and keep them shut until you
have walked few rods briskly, and quickened the
circulation a little; walk fast enough to keep off
feeling Of chiliness and taking cold will be mpossi-
ble What are the facts of the case? Look at q
railway conductor going out Of the hot air into the
piercing cold winter, and in again, every five or
ten minutes, and yet they do not take cold oftener
than others; you will scarcely find consumptive
| person in a thousand Of them.
IT is wonderful how afraid consumptive people are
Of cold air, the very thing that would them
the only obstacle to a being that they do not
get enough IF it, especially if it is cold when it is
known that the colder the purer it must be- yet il
people cannot GO to hotter climate they will make
an artificial one. and imprison themselves a whole
| winter in room with a temperature not varying
ten degrees in six months All such people die, and
vet we follow their footsteps. IL | were seriously
| i'll Of consumption I would live out of doors day
| and night except it were raining mid winter

SLAVERY DIscUssIoN.-The Req. Mr.. Browlow, of
Tennessee, and the Rer Mr. Pryne, of Philadelphia,
have been discussing the slavery question, as they
term it. but from the accounts see, there is more
cussing of each other than discussing any thing.
Each swears the other is blackguard and this the
people generally, both North and South, will credit
Our own opinion is that slavery will exist wherev-
er it is profitable and that where it is not profitable
"philanthropy will so far consult its interests as
to abolish it. Had slavery paid in New England
the institution would never have been denounced
or renounced. But it is rather humiliating to see
two ministers of the Gospel, as they are termed
turning aside from their high calling of bene6tting
immortal souls to pull the black wool of mortal At
rcans. and belabor each other with worse than fish
market abuse. We are confident the two Reverend
gentlemen will effect good, and we trust they
may be as impotent for evi! as they are for good.
A CHANGE IN TRADE-Norfok, Virginia, the
point from which so many cargoes of vegetables
were shipped to New York. last summer, is now re-
