shall turn me over" "All people that
saw it prayed to God earnestly, and de-
sired that he would make known TO
them the meaning of this wri-
ting, that they might not attempt
in vain to turn it over. In the
meantime, came a little child and turn
it over without help, to the admiration
of all tho people that stood by; and
under this stone was found letter
written by Jesus Christ. which was
carried to Iconium and there publish
ed; and in it was written the Command
ments, signed by the Angel Gabriel,
ninety-eight years after our Savior's

IT is announced by a Richmond cor
respondent that the Auditor, Treasurer
and Governor of Virginia have dis
covered that it is impossible for that
State to meet its July interest, as has
been so generally expected it would.
The funds in the treasury barely meet
the expenses of the State, without any
regard to the payment of interest. One
hundred thousand dollars borrowed to
meet the interest last January still re-
mains due to creditors. The fact of the
Impoverished condition of the people,
together with the immense debt of the
State, amounting to S47. 900, ,OO0-second
only to that of New York-precludes,
it is thought, the possibility of the pay
ment OF the interest for some years.
The Auditor, in au official communica-
ton, will announce these facts in few
days.
