Anew RELIGIOUS MovEMENT.-A singu lar re-
ligious movement was begun in England few
weeks ago. 1t is proposed to unite the members
of the English, Roman Catholic aud Greek chur-
ches in friendly communion, and the public
journals report that three hundred churches in
England have assented to the measure. The in
stitutionis formed under the title of rhe assOcia-
ton for the Promotion, of the Unity of Christ
endom, =" to unite in a Bond OF iutercessory prayer
among members. They are not to o'comPrOmise
any principles which they, rightly or wrongly,
hold dear; they are simply asked to unite for the
promotion of a high and holy end. The names
of the members are to be kept strickly private,
and the only obligation imposed upon those who
join the association is the daily use of short
form of prayer, to which is added, in the case of
priests, the offering, at least once in three
months, of the Holy sacrifice.

that it was nothing but ID secesh hole
anyhow and deserved no favors at the hands
of Uncle Sam" True to his word-which
may be considered remarkable for him, if
he ever made the assertion, as well as an as
tonishing exhibition. of energy for one so
proverbially indolent-he gave the place the
threatened "highst," by orderieg the aban-

DRlR. Thibodo, who arrived this week
with his pack train, from the Blackfoot
mines, reports the road thither in a very
bad condition. While he was at Helena,
he saw an estimate made by a speculator,
who had visited the different mining camps,
which showed that the supply of -four in the
mines would fall short thirty thousand sacks
BY spring. During his stay there they had
fall of snow which laid upon the ground
for three days, and in that time -four went
up from eighteen to twenty-five dollars per
hundred

THE LATE GALE.-Itappears from our
Oregon exchanges that the gale Of Sunday
week came in at the mouth of the Columbia
river and extended throughout the William

the way of prostrating fences, etc Fears
are entertained for the safety of great ma,
