A lady residing in East Cambridge, while
awaiting her husbands return. one evening,
fell into doze; from which she was arous-
ed to find that burglar was making free
use with such articles as he could conve-
niently dispose Of. Without screaming or
m!anifesting the least alarm, she sprang for
him, but he took to his legs and ran down
stairs. She pursued him, caught him, and,
on his attempting to knock her down, gave
her severe whipping, furnishing him Sc
verely about the face. She then made him
sit down in chair, and kept him there half
an hour, till her husbands return.

THE DOC APE "A fine specimen Of the
ape family called cynocephales, or dog head
ed, has been presented to the Geological Gar
dens Of Marseillea BY a skipper. The ami
NAL IS said to be prodigiously strong, and
equally savage. He made desperate efforts
to seize some of the sailors to whom he had
a dislike, and very strong iron chain was
necessary to restrain him. They were even
obliged to saw off some of his canine teeth.
His appearance is very odd, the head being
Exceedingly long, the muzzle occupying two
thirds of the whole, the eyelids flesh color
ed. the limbs elongated and slender, and the
tail the same dimensions as the body He
is beginning to behave himself respectfully
now, but at first be was extremely fierce and
sulky.

THn MORMON CONFERENCE Ar CouNCIL
BLuFFs.-A correspondent of the Burling-
ton Ha,okeye, writing from Council Bluffs,
under date of June I'd, says:
"The Mormon Conference commenced
here yesterday, and the followers of Joe
Smith are having big time. The old Nor
mons are gathered in from the wide region
of country around, some of them coming
forty miles. Messrs. Marks, Briggs and
Gurley are the chief apostles, and do most
Of the preaching. Tie Conference is held
in the glen, which some of my readers will
recognize by the name of Hang Hollow a
murderer having been lynched there in the
days Of the early California emigration.
The preachers appear to be sincere in their
belief, but they are illiterate, narrow mind
ed men, and if joe wants to convert the
Gentiles about here he must send over some
bigger guns. The few faithful adkerents of
Brigham who still sojourn in this region are
down on the new. movement, and declare
with solemn emphasis that these people
have renounced the true gospel This is
natural enough, as the leaders of the Young
Joe movement dehornce Brigham and po-
lygauy in unmeasured terms. Some of the
Brighamites are preparing to leave the coun-
try for Salt Lake, thinking doubtless that
tie land is not wide enough to hold two such
scots. It is question Lot fully decided a
mong ourselves whether young Joe is in
town or not. If he is. his followers keer
their own counsel, intending perhaps t.
startle US with glimpse of the elephant to-
morrow"

quoting as showing the change that has

1.-The empire Of Japan, which comprises
a large island upon the eastern cost of China,
continues to resist the efforts to commercial
nations to establish intercourse aid COM
merce With them and to exclude foreigners
from their territories Of all the European
nations the Dutch alone have obtained a
limited privilege to trade at single port. -
Russians lave sent two formal embassies to
Japan, accompanied with costly presents to
the Emperor, but without success. The
presents were refused on The pretext that it
was contrary to the law for the Emperor to
receive presents without Sending those equal
ly valuable in return, and that 1t was out OF
his power to send aD equivalent. 'Japati,
says the reply to the Russian ambassador,
has no great wants, and has therefore little
occasion for foreign productions. Her few
real wants, as we'll as those she has contrac-
ted BY custom, are amply supplied, and lux
uries are things which he does not wish to

prevent all intercourse with the shore. The
crews were prohibited all acts of religious
worship while in port. and the commander
permitted only slight Intercourse with the
Governor of Nagasaki. Every foreigner
entering Japan without the Emperor's per-

Projection TO SLAVERY IN THE TERR1-
ToR1Es.-The advocates for a slave code in
the Territories deny, we believe, that the
question Of protection to slavery in the TER
ritories is judicial question, and they will
not consent to leave the matter to be- deci-
ded by the Co,irts We imagine they are
sincere; but they disagree very widely with
some of their chosen Presidential favorites
as to the manner of settling the issue
For instance, we cite tie name of r. NJ. 7
Hunter. Mr.. Hunter, in 1854. held this
very emphatic and unmistakeable Ian
guage: ~
THE bill provides that the Legislatures
Of these Territories shall have power to leg
islate over all rightful subjects Of legislation
consistently with the Constitution, and, if
they should assume powers which are
thought to be inconsistent with the Consti-
titioh. the courts will decide that question
whenever it may be raised" ,
Assuming that Mr.. Hunter IS correct
and his correctness cannot be denied-where
is the sehse in a slave code The bred
Scott decision fully interprets tie Constitu-
ton for violating that Constitution Mr..
Hunter tells us the Territorial Legislature
may be rraigned before the Courts What
more is necessary for our protection II
the Constitution will not protect slave prop
erty ID the Territories, no law that Con-
gress can enact will. There is an end Of
that.
We are unable to see how the South is to
avoid submitting the question to the courts
for final arbitrament She cannot avoid it,,
if she would. Then why distract the party
agitate the country, anl excite sectional an
mostly on the Inject Verify, we hon
estly believe, tie people would rise in their
majestic power, and put down all such agi-
tators as are now harrassing the public mind
with this question. Their object is to rule
or ruin. The sooner they are hushed up
the better for tie nation at large Vernon

The sensation, as we felt it, was as if
heavily laden wagon had suddenly been
driven over the pavement in front of the
house. The motion was accompanied by a
mysterious rumbling like distant thunder.
1t was strong enough to rattle the dishes
in a safe, violently. We noticed that for
ii few minutes afterwards the fowls crowed
like they DO at daybreak. During the con-
vulsion an unearthly silence prevailed, SO
far as noise from man or brute was eon-
cerned.

pItssOuri Electioll,

ST. LOUIS, Aug. There are still four
precincts to hear from, which two years
ago gave Barrett about 100 majority The
vote has been very heavy one, being an
increase of about 700 over the vote of 1858.
Everything passed of quietly and without
disturbance of any kind as far as heard
from. Barrett's majority for the short
term is about 45, and though the result is
still doubtful, it is generally conceded that
he is elected.
For the long term Todd the Union can
didate, received about 4300 votes, which is
a loss of 700 since 1853.
So far Blair's majority over Barrett for
the long term is about one thousand
Orr. Union candidate for Governor, receiv-
ed majority in this district of about 1000
The Legislative ticket is still in doubt, but
favors the Republicans The Republicans
also elect a majority of the county officers.
ST. LOUIS, August 7-F. P Blair, jr., is
elected for the long term by fifteen hundred
majority. For the short term the contest
is very close, and cannot be determined
until the official returns are received. Blair
is probably defeated by less than one hun
dred. The returns for Governor so far in
dicate the probable election of Orr
