Many years ago solitary horseman

that solitary horseman was courier from
an important township in the county /;
but the one We speak of had not been
heard at Toledo, and the vote of this
very township was needed to tell how

MISCELLANEOUS,

The Clergy.
This distinguished body is individually sub.
Jsce to the same frailties as those which mark
the character Of other mortals. AS an instance
ofthe illiberality Of their feelings toward each
other we may refer to q lately Published cor
respondence between Rev W. S. Burton of the
Dayton Uniyersalist Church, and Elder knapp
ofthe Baptist church. MIR. b. challenges the
Elder to discuss the "IIcll'' question the Ell
der respond by asserting that Universalists are
all "madmen," and should be Gagged at once
his 5th and 9th reasons for declining q discus
sion are pointed and odoriftrous; they are
given below: ......... .... e So. ~

would acknowledge or own up when be was
used up; but like goose, when thoroughly
picked not pin-teather left and thrown

6. decline the challenge upon the same
principle that the lion in the fable did, when
met by skunk and challenged to battle
The lion declined-the skunk asked. "are you
afraid mo-, said the lion, 'but, if have a
battle with you, you will always have the honor
of fighting with lion; but, as tor me, every
body will know, for months to come, that have
been in company with Il skunk"
Yours, with a sincere desire and Prayer to
God, that you may cast away your damning
heresy, recover yourself out of the snare OF the
devil, and become as Jealous in defending the
truth, as you are now in promoting lie.
JAooB KNAPP.
Elder Knapp beats the politicians entirely
in the vindictiveness of his style, but it would
not do to call him BLACKBOARD, because his
profession protects him.

Letter from the Gold Mines.
The following paragraphs are extracted from
a letter dated January 9TH, received by Mr..
e. Mason, clerk of the Missouri River steamer
Rowena. Mr.. Mason places implicit reliance
in all that Mr.. Dollar writes to him. The let
ter was written in Auraria:
"Since Parkinson left for the East, very
little has been done in the way Of mining, for

that he had found prospects on Rolston Creek,
which paid him from twenty-five to thirty cents

mines yet discovered, but some there are who
hope for still better. Our party has not pros
