earthquakes rushing together, could not
/ have terrified the immense assembly more;
and one of the effects of the fright was
nassau as the stomach, which, with the
strong desire to cry aloud and Shrek in
wild paroxysms of fear, fastened the eiec-
ton of the slabs of beef from their mouths,
was a remarkable sight, never to be for
| gotten, especially as many were seen to
| tare the beef from their mouths in rage and
| throw it TO the ground.
| Before the assembly could recover from
! this surprise, the invisible hand moved the
flaming brand to the altar, touched it with
the fire, the blood returned and filed up
I the golden basin and flowed IN n steady
stream into the veins of the roasted OK
! skeleton-the slabs of half chewed and half
swallowed beef came moving up from all
| parts Of the assembly, instinct with some
strange power of motion, silently, vet thick
as the autumnal leaves, and each slab
! found its exact place in the OK from which
it had been previously taken, till all The
| flesh was restored-the buzzards returned
in great troupe, and in few minutes
threw up the cntrails they had devourcd,
and went to their appropriate places, and
| last OF all strange movement and omin-
Gus noise was heard under the immense
sash, and the yellow rich breeches of the
! High Sheriff, and incredible as il may ap-
! pear, the beautiful hide of the OK came
out from that cozy place of deposit,
and expanded Itself and gently moved,
| of its own accord, to the skinless OK, as
! lovely as ever, and as full Of life as ever
| lie lowed in tones deep and loud, 80 that
| they rc-cChocd through all the mountains,
| in Il melody solemn, grand, ovcrpowerng,
| like the holy anthem of the ocean, and was
! heard to proclaim. "Relgious Freedom and
federation in this Free Land" And still
more wonderful to tell, in the twinkling of
an eye, a beautiful silver colored mist arose
from the ground, and cnvcloped the OK and
the little singing girls, and hid them from
view, and moved gradually upward, and
! they were no more. Tho band played The
beautiful air 500 up, Old Bald head"
The first move III this scene Of general
! stuperiactinn and fright, was that ofJul &c
Scott, rs he rushed into the arms of the
! High sheriff, and then on bcnded knees
and upilted eyes was seen the lovely sight
of brethren that escaped from sore trouble,
returning thanks.
Then Tweed and Gallagher rushed into
each others arms and fell on the earth in
excess of joy, and then Mayor Hall led out
one of the New York riot sisters on the
! platform and danced Il crariolc dance, 50
expressive on the French boards Of excess
!
ears to the end of the great toes.
Nor was the scene in the vast assembly
less excited universal embracing, and
every variety of joyful demonstration; in
all shapes and attitudes, Of course always
| pCrlumcd with dccorum and propriCty.
AS soon rs order was restored, short
! speeches were made. 1t could not escape
the eye Of a thoughtful observer, that the
| iiuhilant and confident tone of the speeches,
was moderated, for they began to have
some msgivings that they were on cnchan-
ted ground and that FAIRIES, and ghosts, and
witches, and spoOks might inhabit that
region; so Judge Scott, piousIy, and with
deep reverence, alluded to the Holy Father,
how inflllibc hc was in his admoniLon in
his Encyctical letter to beware of roast OK,
and with solemn emotions alluded to the
purity Of primary elections and the sauc-
tity Of the ballot box aud to h0vo his
friends rewarded and his enemies punished.
Tweed grayeiy claimed that Northum-
bcrland County could never reach its high
destiny till the taxes were increased Il hun
drcd fold ,and the Treasury filled with hun
dreds OF thousands Of dollars, and suggCs-
ted that medal Of pure gold should be
awarded by the County Commissioners to
the farm that paid the heaviest tax, and
one to the heaviest tax payer among the
miners and among the mechanics, and it
should be nailed to the Intel othis door.
COnncly endorsed all his brother Tweed
had said, and suggested that it was such
an easy thing 20 hire burglars to break into
the public offices and carry of important
vouchers, If there was any danger Of inl-
polite people interfering.
Hall said he and his friend the High
Sheriff were too much exhausted to say
much, only he was requested by tho Sheriff
to say that good time is coming in Nor
cumberland County, when they yet cou-
troll Of the Bench, and OF the jury box, and
of the lligh Sherilirs office, and Of the Leg
islature, and the County Treasury. Then
their friends shall be rewarded and their
enemies punished with q vengeance that
his lriend scott was true man and would
make the fur fly ; that the day OF the
Americans had gone by forever, and that
Irish Catholics would rule the roast, and
that no more American "Dimicrits" should
hold office; the only true, Simon-pure
''Dimicrit." is II real Irish Catholic Dimi-
crit"
One of the bravo brothers Of the New
York Irish Catholic riot, got up and said,
that the day would soon be here, when not
Il mothers son of any living man should
hold property more than one year, that
every New Years day, there would be "A
a general division ofall property into equal
parts, and all the poor would then get his
full share, that ii was never intended that
Il man should hold farm, or house and
lot, or II coal mine, and his poor ncighbor
| have none ofit-thlt one man had Just as
good right as another 10 property, and a
man, who laboTed had no more right 10 hay
up his earnings to buy house aud lot, or
a farm, than he habitat il ho thought
best 10 spend his earnings in fun and yrog,
why nj the end of tho year that could not
be divided, aud So ho lad ~ dividend t.
make, but lac hnd his share Df other Giyi-
dends TO receive, lie gluricd ia the glory
Of the Now York Irish Catholic rioters,
aud tho Molly Maguires. Their names
would live rs The benelaUlors ul the world,
especially when the New l,ar annual
division Of AL property took place.
The band played the old air, Give us
your purse, my darling"
Then 10 the CONSERVATION Of all arose
sweeny, who had nj been seen bs.urc, nor
known 10 be Ia attendauc- his head shaved,
la striped black aud grey peuilenlary uui-
