Brigham Young,s --latest Avowai.

Brigham Young has again entertained the
g Saints with characteristic speech, wherein he
took occasion to set at rest numerous SANDERS
which have been in circulation. The Prophet ID

Church, and himself, and indisposed 70 yield =

THE LATEST SNAKE SToRY.--About three weeks
ago Mrs. Judy, who lives a few miles north
west of Germantown, Ohio, went out into the
pasture, some distance from the house, to get the
COWS. As q storm was coming up rapidly, she
took " near ent y across several felds and had
passed through quantity of brush on the way.
Having started the COWS toward home, she stopped
for a moment to detach from her dress what she
supposed to be piece of brush that had become
fastened to it, and which impeded her progress
by getting fast against everything with which she
came in contact; but judge of her alarm, when
STOPPING TO take hold Of it, to discover that it was
long black snake Horror-stricken with fright,
she incapable of ridding herself Of the REPTILE
and turning, she fed straight for the house,
screaming at the top of her voice. As she neared
the house her husband and one of the workmen
heard her screams, and ran to see what was the
matter When they met her she was nearly ex-
hausted, and family crying snake,'' fell into her
| husbands arms. He carried her TO the house,
while the workman discovered and killed the
snake, q J" racer" which was about six feet long.
Mrs. j. had crossed several fences and the reptile
had elung to her till the last fence she eambered
over, just before she met her husband. The worst
feature oftha case remains to be told. We learn
that the fright threw the woman into eenvusions
and they finally ended in a fever whieh terminated
in her death

Coon READING. DR.. Brownson writes in his

Coon READING. - DIR. Brownson writes in his
Quarterly:
One thing we have felt in nearly all our Catholic
schools and colleges is the need of professor of
elocuton. We have hardly heard tolerable
reader in one of them and the worst reading we
ever listened 10 was the English reading in Catho
lie school in one of the British Provinces. The
rules with regard to the infections of the voice in
English reading are very nearly the reverse of
those observed in French Italian and Irish reading.
The English reader is required to pitch his voice in
d conversational tone, and to read only in more
subdued manner, as llbred gentleman or lady
talks. To read well is great accomplishment,
and requires as much cultivation as the art of ora
tory. Great attention is paid to reading in the
public schools in Boston, aud indeed, in Boston So
ciety where it is rare to find, amongst educated
people, o poor reader. In general, Episcopalian
ministers are fine readers, especially of the service
of their church. Our priests educated for the most
part in foreign tongue, are not generally, far
as our experience goes, good readers. Too much
attention hardly be paid in school to the art of
reading, and in most of our American society there
is great need of cultiyating the art Of easy and
graceful conversation, for conversation, both as to
manner and matter is an art which does not come
by nature. Our Catholic schools, as far as we are
acquainted with them, are behind hand in the
management of the voice, whether for reading or
speaking, or conversation, aud we hope the teach
ers employed hereafter will pay more especial at
tention to that important branch of education.

ASTTpArHY OF LIKE TO LIKE,-Wherever two

that his father, in his younger days, was with a

him to hold his sword for minute, supposing he
would consider it an abomnaton to touch it.
