would refute them, he launched out into q
glowing eulogy on the cross of Christ and the
principles of the Divine Nazarine. The spir-
its expressed their dissatisfaction at the theme
and he was called to order and Kissed. They
were involuntarily shared into orthodoxy.
Brother Clark then made speech on Spiritu-
alism He denounced the poem of Mr.. Hamil-
ton, and said he and the spiritual were for war
war till everything wrong was removed from
the world. They did not want peace If Je-
sus Christ came and told them to 60 on the
side of JEFF. Davis, he would say shame on such
Jesus; and he would spit on him, as the
Jews did. Applause.
Brother Cody congratulated the audience on
not adopting any resolution which might imply
that the spirits were changed in any way after
they left the body. He knew they followed
their old pursuits. There were drunkards and
smokers among them; for as they departed, so
they lived. He had tested the question him
self for the benefit of his brethren. In small
room he had been surrounded by spirits, who
had, while in the body, smoked, chewed and
drank liquor They filled the room with tobac-
CO smoke and the fumes of liquor. There
could be no mistake of the fact
There were also immoral spirits. 4 female
spirit at one time entered the room. He had
known her to be immoral on earth. AS soon
as she came in, she rushed to embrace him.
for she had the same passional nature, as
spirit rs when in the body. But through the
the aid OF moral spirits, he succeeded in over
coming the temptation. Applause.

Detecting the Skulkcrs.-A Scene at

Mr.. S. WILKINSON, in a letter to the n. Y.

Belle Plain Landing:

of the vessel with slightly wounded, to be car

red-legged person who might have been born
in Austria, but certrinlv was never born in
America, and who crawled on the propeller's
deck with the abjectness of a coward and the
OVERRIDING of a bad performer. He frightened
up in some terror, but quickly selected his left
shoulder as the locality of his disabling wound.
The surgeon ordered to examine it reported
that it did not exist.

IRISH VITA gentleman of this county
received recently letter from his brother
now in the Army of the Potomac, in which
the following anecdote is related:
Among the few prisoners taken bv the
rebels at Gettysburg was an Irishman. a true
son of the Emerald Isle, posing rich vein
of that for which his countrymen are so nst.
ly celebrated, viz: wit. Patrick was taken
before General Lee, and underwent the usual
cross questioning. but gave sUch answers
that the rebel General could make neither
head nor tail of them. At length the General
asked him what countryman he was. Pat
promptly replied that he was an Irishman.
You an Irishman,' said the General, "and
left your native land to escape the tyranny of
England, and after coming to America and
enjoying the blessings of liberty here, you
now wish to force upon the South similar
system of tyranny. You wish the South to
occupy the same relative position to the
North that Ireland does to England. You
fight for neither principle nor honor; you
fight only for money-all of Line ,ln's hire
lings fight for monthly pittance'
"And what do you fight for?" asked Pat
We replied the General, g ight for the
noblest cause that men ever fought for; we,
sir, fight FOR honor
"Well, then," retorted Pat, we both
fight for what we need most"
Take him to the Libby Prison." thun.

SEVERE AccIDENT.-On Wednesday last a
man by the name of Timothy Hall, who has
been recently engaged as cook at the Tower
House, got on spree and procuring mule
started for Shasta. While on the road. alone
between Grizzly Gulch and the Oak Bottom
House, he was thrown from the mule, and
his foot becoming entangled in the stirrup,
was dragged and terribly mangled about the
head and body. A party passing Up the road
found the mule loose, and proceeding on
found the injured man lying upon his face,
perfectly helpless, and bleeding profusely
from his many wounds. His gold watch was
found scattered in pieces, the cases being
found in one place and the works in another
some distance off. Word was sent to Shasta,
and DR.. Shurtleff proceeded Immediately to
his relief and found the man with his scalp
completely torn from the back part of his
head, and drawn up towards the crown, and
many severe wounds upon his face and one
: siac- of his body. But little hopes are enter
tanned of his recovery and the probability
is that the bad whiskey poor Tim had imbib
ed will be the means of causing his death.
