The Valley Tan, of Utah Territory, pub
fishes Judge Sinclair's charge to the Grand
Jury. After charging the jury in regard to
crimes and violations Of United States law
generally, the Judge says
I'm regard to your general duties and OBJ
legations, / have few special remarks to
offer. 1t is far from my intention to draw
in question matters Of religion. These are
matters between mans conscience and his
God. Opinions, while they remain mere
opinions, the law does not regard; and IT IS
ONLY when opinions resolve themselves into
unlawful acts, that the law stretches forth its
arm to bring the culprit tojustice.
1T is not my wish here to excite unneees'
sarily the public feeling, or to introduce dis,
traction: but let it be distinctly understood
that | do intend to vindicate. within the
province of the court, and with due regard
10 .he subjects involved, the supremacy OF the
law"

a stack of straw and stack of about one hun
dred bushels of wheat, was instantaneously

Orson Pratt, one of the leaders Of the

August It'll, as follows:
"The fact that theocracy can exist in the
centre of republic, is fast gaining ground.
The fulflment of Daniels Interpretation of
Nebuchadnezzar' dream is near completion.
The "little stone cut out of the mountain
without hands," is rapidly growing. Woe
to the nations Of the earth when it shall
smitc the image upon the feet and the toes,
and crush the same in powder SO fine that
the winds Of Heaven will watt the particles
off like chat. We do not wish to be aggres-
sive, but if the Church Of God is too much
infringed upon, as It most probably rH de,
the little stone must fall. With Jehovah as
our captain, and our prophets as our counsel

the combined opposition Of the whole world,
and, with sword invincible, go on from
conquering to conquer, until all nations shsll

TIE SKULL OF RICHEIIEC-.lt seems prob
able that very curious and interesting NJ
fair will soon he brought before the Courts.
1t il known that the famous Cardinal Rich
clicu was buried in the Chapel Of the Sor-
bonnc, where his tcmb is still to be seeu.-
During the days Of terror, the infatuated mob
tore open the Cardinals grave, in common
with thousands of Others dragged forth the
remains, separated the head from the body,
and carried it through the streets stuck on a
pike. This head subsequently fell into the
possession of Deputy of those days who be-
queathcd it to his son. The latter, of course,
attaches i high value to his prize, obstinate
~ refusing to give it up to the State, which
claims that the skull of the ilustrious Min
lister Of Louis MIL should be placed among
the public relies of the Empire. 1t was at
first attempted TO settle the controversy with
out appealing to the tribunals. but, rs the
present possessor of the Cardinals head is
determined not to give it up without being
absolutely forced to do so, it is said that the
authorities are about to bring suit against
him, to compel its rcstoration; and there
seems very little doubt that he will lose his
cherished head, mt last When Richelieu
ruled France, and the weak king, his
nominal master. with rod Of iron, holding
the lives and fortunes of the most powerful
in the hollow of his hand, little did he dream
that the day would come when his skull
would be carried through Paris on q pike,
treasured by a city deputy, and reclaimed
by Government 10 be placed under Il glass

An Imposter set Back.

4 few days ago hotel-keeper of this city,
n Jealous member of the masonic order, cal
led upon physician of this place, who is al
SO prominent member of the order, accom-
panied by distinguished military looking
stranger, whom he introduced as brother"
Lee. Brother" Lee stated to the physician
that he was an officer Of the |. 5. Army, and
was then on his way from West Point to his
home in Georgia, and having been reduced in
his funds to low figure, exhibiting handful
of small change as the entire sum of his
available means, he remarked that he pre-
sumed it was only necessary to aequaint
brother Mason Of his necessities in order to
have the want supplied The Doctor listen
ed patiently till the pompous gentleman had
concluded his speech, and then somewhat
aStonishcd the gentleman by asking him IN
what Lodge he was made Mason. The distln-
guishcd looking officer replied, with evident
hesitation, that he was made Mason In
Federal Lodge. No. J, Washington, d. c.
well, Mr.. Lee. continued the Doctor, Il am
happy to inform you that We Masons Of the
Old North State are not quite SO yerdant rs
you suppose. Though have never seen
you before, know your character well, and
knowing you to be an imposter, | can have
no further intercourse with you" The dis
tinguished looking gentleman drew himself
up in dignifed manner, and exclaimed,
What do you mean, sir.' The Doctor very
coolly walked up to his table, and taking
therefrom copy of the Signet and Journal,
Masonic work published in Augusta, Ga,
turned to the following dcscri pticn Of the
gentleman, contained in an article giving 4
full account of numerous instances IN which
the said gentleman had imposed on MaSons in
various parts of the country, and handed It
to him 10 read:
DESCRIPTION This Major Lee has cer-
tifcatc as Drill Major of the |. 5. Army, is
some five feet ten inches high, spare built,
dark complexion, prominent nose and chin,
45 or SO years old. very black hair and hes-
Wy mustache and whiskers, keen blue eyes,
and as polite rs a dancing master"
The description above enabled the Doctor
to recognise the impostcr at sight. After
reading the article, he remarked to the Doc
tor, 81 suppose it is not necessary for me to
attempt IN explanation - None at ALL"
responded the Doctor, and thcreupon the
imposter immediately left The Doctors office.
The last heard of him he was making his
way at Geographic speed for the \. {. Rail
road Depot. The article or articles, las there
were two numbers of the Signet and Jour
nal which gave accounts Of Major Lees
transactions represent this imposter as hav-
ing joined Federal Lodge. No. |, some years
ago, under the name of ). 5. Lee Chipley.-
lie was initiated before the members Of the
Lodge knew his character, and WAS after
wards expelled. lie represents himself i'll
some places ~ the Rev. Mr.. Lee, and in 9TH
crS As Major Lee, of the L. :. Army. The
above description of the gentleman is said
to be pretty accurate and will enable any
one to recognize him. RaisiM RsGiSter.
