The substance OF this volume was delivered as a
course of Graham lectures before the Brooklyn Ins-
tOte and is characterized rather by popular illustration
titan profound discussion. 1t treats of the uses of
ceiy, rs an expression Of divine thought, discipline
Of individual character, school of mutual help, and
the sphere of the kingdom of Christ on earth. The
sye OF the volume is animated and lucid but its his
toriea statements are Ofen wanting in accuracy, and
it's reasOnings exhibit more ingenuity than logical
force.

SrsAN-B0ILER EXPLOSIONS. "A gentleman AZ
Stroudsburg Pa makes inquiry as TO the practical re-
suits produced by the conductors attached TO the steam
boilers some years since, by parties IN Philadelphia
who attributed all steamboier explosions to the pecu-
liar electrical condition Of the steam. In answer to
this inquiry we will say that we have never been able
TO see the least possible protection that lightning rods
can give 10 steam boilers and have heard of no MI
rcuous effect produced in Philadelphia, or elsewhere,
by their application.
It's pretty generally understood by common-sense
men, that no satisfactory reason has yet been gwen for
the explosion of steam boilers from the fact that 80
far as legal testimony proof it has been shown that
the catastrophes are limited to any peculiar CIR
cunstances but have occurred, apparently, under
nearly all the ordinary working conditions, such as
high. medium, and low pressurei high, medium
and low water, Sc. Notwithstanding these IN
superable difficulties in consistently accounting
for the phenomenon, persons who have better opn-
ion of their own speculations than Of philosophical
facts are ever ready offer their views to the pubic
cratuitously which, owing to the variety and compe-
on in the article supposed to be as vaueesS as It's
cost.

A NEv MAILING MAcHIsE.-R. w. & ID.
Davis of Elmra, New-York, have recently patented
q machine for printing the addresses OF subscrl-
bers on newspapers and wrappers. 1t Is a cheap
simple and convenient machine, works by hand, ro-
quires but little skill to operate it, and from its appear
we judge it may save considerable time ana
labor in the mailing departments of all newspapers and
periodicals. Should it do So its simplicity and cheap
ness will render it particularly applicable to the country

Mob Law in Wright County.

: o. il
Last Winter man named jackson Of
Wright County was arrested for cold
blocded diabo!ical murder, of one Of his
neighbors. He was tried in .Henncpin
County and acquitted, when he made
threats against the witnesses. s4.
The people Notwithstanding his acquit-
tai were convinced Of his guilt, even the
Jury after the trial are said to have changed
their opinion. He was warned not to re-
turn to Wright County but his Calm was
not preempted, and the only chance Of pay
ing his lawyers, was to preempt it. So,
they thought it safe and proper for him 1T. to
return. He did 60, when the inoensed
community assembled, took him out and

Judicial Candidate.

BY an oversight we have not noticed
the nomination, BY the State Republicans
Convention Of CHARLES E. VANnxRBuRaH
for Judge Of this, the Fourth District:
We, this week place his name, with the
Republican ticket. 40 .ale4ss avs
We copy from E'The State Atlas' tho
following remarks about Mr.. VANDER~
BuRaf, promising them with the remark
that whatever "disrepute" our judiciary
may haven fallei into, such disrepu:e has not
been throug III any unworthiness in our pres
ent President Judge, Hon. T.. 0. HAML1N.
We know it to be the general opinion that
Judge HAML1N is an efficient, impartial
able officer. We fear that if any question
should arise in our courts eHectin2 the
great principles Of human liberty as applied
to all men, that Judge HAMLIN's decis-
ions would lean bred Scottwise. We fear
he would sustain that Ubiquitous opinion of
Judge fancy, but apart from what we
believe to be his pro, Slavery leanings.
Judge HAML1N has our utmost confidence.
''The romiuation Of Charles Z. Wander
burgh, Esq, for Judge Of the Fourth Ju-
dieial Distrsct, is universally regarded q
one Of the best and strongest that could
have been made, and will without doubt,
be ratified by the people at the polls.
The strong hold which Mr.. Vanderburgh
has upon the confidence OF the people, and
his popularity with all who know him, are
well earned and deserved. With clear,
quick, and fine legal mind, we'll cultivated
by the closest study and devotion to. his
profession, and with the experience which
large and extensive practice always A.
fords, Mr.. Vanderburgh is, in all respects
we'll and peculiarly fitted for the important
position to. which he has been nominated.
With such man upon the bench, our
elective Judiciary would soon redeem it.

/ LAND SALES. ~ Our Moccasin tribe at
Washington have advertised about two
millions Of public laads in Minnesota for
sale In the fall: Much Of the land desig-
mated lies vest Of the Mississippi and is
improved BY settlers who hoped to pre-
empt: In the present state of the money
market but few Of them will be able to re-
alizs that hope, and great injustice TO them
and injury to the State at large must be the
result Of these sales. lid. - -.
The St. Paul Times says: i: :z
In the present terrible state OF the mon
ev marked here. it,e impossible for settlers
to rns;e~ enc money or the land warrants to
pre-enpt their lands. Even in St. Paul
there is hardly hundred dollars on the
street to be loaned on the best security in
the city. In the district where the lands
are to be sold, the settlements are new, the
wheat crop was entirely destroyed by rust
last year, the sales 4aeEf1l tR any money from
s sGGf5s years crop, and not one settler in ten
can raise the means to pre-empt his claim
before tho day appears. The form Of Of
fering the land at public auction will be
gone through with, there will be no bid
ders, and in two weeks from til commence
ment OF the sale, all unsold land Except
that belonging to the Rail Road Compa-
nies) will be open to private entry at ~ 90.
per acre. BY a recent rule Of the Land
Office, adopted this summer, tuo land war
rants can be used in entering land held at
that price as minimum. Is there a set
tier who has spent all his means in improv-
ing his claim, and making there comfort
able home for his family? The Spectator
marks the farm as valuable prize, locates
on it his two land warrants, worth now in
market So cents each per acre, making ans-
protcd farms cost the Spectator say 81 1865
per acre. The settler has his home his all,
stole,, from him, the United States receives
no revenue, butthe SPECTATORS who happen
to be in the good graces Of the Admins

our State pecuniarily, the chiyalrous sons
of the 'ssunny Soute," who have volun-
te red to hold our offices and control our
politics, have found their receipts hardly
sufficient for the bad whiskey they drink.
Settlers cannot raise money to enter their
claims, and fees of Land Officers dwindle
to insignifcance. This will not do. The
"chivalry" who have come to the frozen
North to save the Union, CAM be expected
to do it for nothing! What cares this Ad-

EURR1CASE--As severe storm Of wind
and rain passed across from. West TO- East
between this and St. Anthony on tho morn
ing Of the 9Th. H. 4. R1s1EY, Esq, Of
Dunkirk; n Y, with Capt. TwEEDr Of
CINCINNATI were on the road in . light
wagon on the big prairie about two mil e.
above THoNpsoN's, when the wind struck
the wagon and lifted it from the r,ad. Mr..
r. sprang out and succeeded in getting one
of the horses by the. reins, when finding
himself lifted from Bis feet he let go and
was carried four rods when he sue ceeded
in throwing himself PROSTATE onthe ground.
The lig htning and thunder were terrific,
the rain poured out like nFer, and Mr..
R. thinks it was not fifteen minutes until
he was submerged 50 that he had to raise
his head six inches to keep above water.
After some time he crept on hands and
knees to where Capt TwEEDE was holding
by large tuft Of grass and the wreck Of
the wagon and only by holding fast did
they succeed in keeping the hurricane from
carrying them away, as they lay one hour
under water so far as to be obliged to
raise on their elbows to escape drowning
on the level prairie. They sueceeded in
making their way back to THoMPsoN's
where they found the windows beat in, and
porch and fences carried Of. They wers.
much bruised, their wagon broken to Pic
ccs, their horses blown across each other
and entangled in the harness, narrowly
escaped with life.
