JOSEPH SMITH, JR.-EEorts 10 place hin al The
head Of MoTmonism.-A correspondent OF the
ST. Louis Republican, writing from Nauvoo,
under date of the 10Th inst, says:
Joseph Smith, son Of the late prophet, IS
hero, as also the other members of the family
Joseph is understood among the SaintsTo be
the successor Of his father in his prophetic
Office and il is limited among the would-be
wise ones that he is about to assume the robes
of his sacred office. BE that as 1t may, 1t is
true that he is now entertaining delegation
from Salt Lake, who are using every persua-
sion in their power to satisfy the young pro-
phet that he is called of God forthwith to as
sumo the office, and proceed to Salt Lake and
take the head Of the Mormon Council.
Joseph is Il man of good, strong sense, aud
should he undertake the station, have no
doubt would endeavor to make reform among
his people, He is decidedly against polygamy,
in favor of obedience to law, and opposed i'll
any form, to thinking the Gentiles.' II Is To
be hoped that he will undertake the task, and
succeed in making Salt Lake the home OF up
right, law-abiding citizens, instead Of u den Of
thieves.
Joseph, however, is beset on the other SIDE
by m organization of Mormons in this SIT
who are to meet in council at Amboy 90 th'
9th of April next, to become their head, aud Il
call around him all the faithful. II is mo-
known that he will listen to any of their pro-
posals, but certain it is, il he refuses TO excr'
else the power within his control, he has {
quality not given to common men, to resis
when tempted with the certainty OF powe
equal to that of any other living man powe
that needs not the armies of France and Tins
STA to enforce t--but power that is over th
mind. and absolutely controls half million O
souls, without force and without expense.

EMANCIPATION OF THE RUSSIAN SLAyEs.--lp II
German paper we find an article on the subject
of Russian emancipation, dated ST. Petersburg,
December 4tl, which we translate;
SIN Stardub, n village of the district of kns-
chiru, very remarkable event has taken place.
The proprietor of the village, Herr Nicoai Tur-
geniew, has entered into u voluntary contract
with the serfs on his estate for their emancipa-
ton. The village has an area of 562 dessidttnes
Ia Russian term Of land measureJ of land, and
population of 1871 males, so that there are to
each male 3 lie desstdtiaes By the effect Of
this contract the proprietor relinquishe; 10 the
community or parish third part of the soil,
that is to shy 1871 deSstdtiass and reserves 10
himselftwo-thirds. The dwellings of the pea
SAINTS with the land appertaining TO them be-
come the entire property Of the occupants
The peasants bind themselves to pay the CAPT
tation taxes and all subsisting imposts. The
homesteads can only pass to an heir who shall
come under the same obligations az bis prede-
cessOf, and purchase the consent OF his CO.
heirs, nor can they be sold, except 10 peasants
of the same village. The land not pertaining
to the several dwellings belongs TO the COM
munity The community binds itself 10 pay a
bonus of l,l20 silver rouhles. The popular
Herr Turgeniew formally declares, at the end
of the contract, that the peasants are ut liberty
to withdraw from the arrangement Ms soon as
the negotiations between the government and
the nobility shall offer them more favorable
conditions The civil authorities Of the viii
lagc, on their part, engage not 10 iullict cor
poral punishment and only to sentence often
ders TO fines compulsory labor and imprison-
ment.i
When the emperor, on the occasion of his
late visit to Pskow, WAS presented to the no
bility OF the government Of that place, he said
to them:
II have long cherished the wish;O visit YOU,
and rejoice ii a it is granted me To fulfil that
wish. Hitherto the mobility has, with II ready
consent, yielded to the imperial desire, and
have always appealed to it with perfect conf
dence. With the same confidence, gentlemen,
addressed you in regard TO the question Of the
peasantry, and thank you that, after the cN-
ample of the others ofyour order. you have re-
sponded with interest 10 my appeal. This
question is now going forward to its solution,
and ] hope that you expect its consummation
with the same reliance on me that manifested
when addressing mysclfto you, and with the
full persuasion that this matter will BE- conclu-
ded to the mutual advantage of both PARTIES
30 that the interest of the mobiles will he, ms far
as possible, secured, and at the same time the
condition OF the peasants improved. am per-
suaded that you will justify my confidence in

nay The Boston Traveller records the death
Of Deacon Ebenezer Clapp, a direct descendant
in tho fourth generation of the Pilgrim STOCK.
He died at Dorchester, Mass, of old age, n few
DAYS since. The Traveller says;
ilHe was born on the 25th of August, lTi,
and wasa son of Noah Clapp, who graduated
at Harvard in 1875, and%as forforty-one years
town clerk of Dorchester. His grandfather,
Deacon Jonathan Clapp, was born in 1873, and
was the son of Nicholas Clapp, one of the first
settlers iu this ancient town. Thus the recent
" deceased gentleman was only the fourth
Generation from the first settlers, and probably
was was the last person of that generation. Born
a.short time previous to the Revolution, the
earliest event he remembered was the burning
of Charleston, and the battle of Bunker iiill
which he witnessed from Jones' Hill Dorches-
ter. He always took delight in narrating hi.
rccollections Of that period. At the age o.
fifteen years and half he volunteered In the
army raised by Gen. Lincoln for the suppress
sion of Shay's Rebellion, and was the last sur
yiyor of the Dorchester company"

FlGHT WITH Boa CONSTRUCTOR AT BosTOS.--
1t was only week or two since that we an
nonnced the arrival at Salem from Africa of n
monster boa constructor, in size one of the lar
gest ever brought to this country. Its length
in its quiet state was full thirty feet, with a
capablity of extension when in motion to near
ly forty feet. In its largest part il was some
twenty inches in circumference. This snake
was purchased BY Mr.. Goodwin, broker, OF
this city and placed on exhibition at liortcul-
tural Hall, School street, where it proved quite
attractive. Last week, however, his snakeship
exhibited symptoms of illness in the form OF
indigestion, aud upon ons occasion, Mr.. Bish-
OPP, the keeper, removed number Of feathers
OF fowl which the reptile had swallowed,
from its throat. On Sunday the snake was
treated to warm BATH and Mr. Bishop was
again attempting to remove some distinctions
from its throat when the snake suddenly ex-
hibted signs Of hostility, erected its head,
seized Mr.. b. by the hand, and commenced to
coil its enormous length about the body of the
keeper, in order to crush him to death. The
other attendants, in the first moment of alarm
reiterated, but, recalled by the cries for help Of
the imprisoned keeper, they armed themselves
with clubs and commenced to belabor the snake
in order to induce him to release his hold. Nc
impression was made, however, and one col
was already around the body of the unfortu-
nate man, when brother OF Mr.. Goodwin can't
to the rescue with large hammer With this
he struck the snake two violent blows upon th'
head which, together with violent choakinG
about the throat, induced the reptile to unloos'
| its coil, when Mr.. Bishop was at once set ire'
from his horrible Imprisonment. The snak'
soon began to sink under the treatment which
il had received, and in two hours was dead
Its remains were purchased by Mr.. Vickery o
Lynn, who will have the skin stuffed for pres
