A oRRxsrndAs CAROL.

Bright, bright in silver light,
The morning stars we're shining,
And shepherds watching o'er their focks,
Were on their slaves reclining
Were on their slaves reclining.
Clear clear 50 very near,
burst Of music sounding,
That hocks and shepherds rose at once,
With swelling hearts rebounlng.
Loud loud the chorus greet,
TIL all the air was swelling,
And from the heavens came voice,
That joyful news was telling.
Peace Peace on earth be peace,
Good will to brothers greeting,
Arise and hasten to the babe,
Fast in the manger sleeping.
joy Joy child is born,
Foretold in ancient story,
Born to redeem our souls from sin,
'Ts Christ the Lord Of Glory.
Praise praise! to God be praise,
And to the Son be given,
And to the spirit, three in one,
On earth as Ills in Heaven.

CHICAGO HosPIrALIrY.-We noticed,
the other day, that the Sacramento Bee
said that the Pioneers, on their late
visit to Chicago, were charged with
their hotel bills, after they had been
invited to stop by prominent Chica-
goans. One Of the Pioneers informs us
that the Bee was right, as he himself
paid 81 so to the hetel for accepting
the invitation Of those ki~nd.heartsd
entertainers. He says, further, that the
Eastern habits in the matter of hospi-
tally and entertainment are not Cali

BRlauAx YouSG has Numbered n bull
Of accommodation at the heads Of
some dissenting jewellers in the poly
gamic Zion. Their crime appears to be
that liberalism which makes man de-
pendent on himself and an honor TO his
kind. In ground.sill, pillar, joist, and
%raf,er, Brigham's autocracy is perfect,
but it exists only in the absence Of
thought among tho indwellers. 1t has
but one mind, one heart, one soul, and
they belong to the Mogul. 10 this sti-
hing process there is safety ; when the
power to suppress volition ceases then
there is danger. The mind is beginning
to work, it seems. An edict or two Of
Punishment will show the folly of trying
to bride it. Mormon thunder NAV

We have heard of an act, pcrpelrstod
near this borough, which surpasses in
cool ferocity and fendishness anything
that ever took place in this county. 1t
seems that three boys, belonging to this
borough or Mount Carbon-it is not
definitely known-went out on the road
between this borough and Cressona, un.
til they reached a point about a mile
beyond Hillside. About n quarter of n
mile from the house Of a laborer named
Hornick, several children werc playing,
among them his son Frederick, between
eleven and twelve years of age. The
boys, when they reached this spot, built
a Are, seized and dragged Frederick to
it, and, most horrible to state, held the
little boy over it until he was actually
roasted. Then they fed. When found,
the injured boy was in a terrible condi.
ton, and 1t is feared that he is burned
internally by inhaling the flames. He
has not been able to talk since tue &C.
currencs, and is in a critical condition.

The Port Jervis IN. W Union says
that Mr.. Silas r. Horton, the well
known insurance agent at Goshen and
Craigville, is tho discoverer of a mineral
heretofore unknown to science, which
has boen named H~ortonolite, by Pro.
lessor Brush, of Yale College. The rare
and curious mineral is translucent, and
Of q n olive green color, in thin pieces,
but black in the mass /; has a peculiar
ring, like n piece Of metal, and is essen
TALLY a glass of iron, formed, no doubt,
by the intense heat of volcanic firos, at
some remote age. 1t contains about so
per cent. of the purest iron ever known,
and will, probably, prove of large pecu-
MARY value to the owner ofthe property,
P. p. Parrot, Esq, Of Greenwood,
which fact was at once made known to
him by Mr.. Horton. This mineral is
similar in composition to the ore
freu which the celebrated Damascus
steel was made, used by the Turks for
their sabres, in olden times.
