RETURNING TO NAUvoo.-The st. Louis Re-
publican says: "A quarter OF century ago, the
followers OF Joseph Smith, founder aud first
prophet OF Mormonism, were expelled by the
force of arms from their homes at Nauyoo, by
the enraged citizens Of Illinois. During the
turbulent scenes incident to the violent expul-
sion of this strange sect, Smith lost his life. And
ment is on foot for the reestablishment of the
Mormons at their old seat-Nauvoo. The
Prophet Joseph will remove thither in a few
weeks, and set the presses to work, to print q
newspapers, magazine and tracts to aid the
Mormon propaganda in disseminating their
faith. When Brigham dies, Joseph will sue
coed to the prophetship of Mormonism, and then
the headquarters of the faith which has excited
60 much attention will be reestablished in the
very place from which il was banished twenty
five years ago. 1t may be taken as an evidence
of rapid growth of sentiments Of an enlarged
federation, that the once turiously, prosecuted
people are welcomed back with greatest cor
diality!'

DANBURY MAN CURES HIS Boy OF THE
TooTH-ACHE.-A Town Hill boy was awakened
by severe tooth-ache Thursday night, and
soon signitied to his father by sundry howls
and frequent repetition of the name of Moses
that some sort of attention should be paid him
The parent aroused at once and set to work to
relieve the pain. He put a saucer of alchohol
on the stove and touched a match to the LIQUID
While 1t was blazing he took hold OF the saucer
to carry IL to the bed for the purpose of advanc-
ing some operation calculated to obliterate the
tooth ache, when, not making the proper calcu-
latiOn Of the temperature Of the saucer, he
was Obliged to let go of it with some precipita-
ton. 1t may be necessary to state here that,
the parent in his anxiety TO relieve MS offspring
had omitted an elaborate toilet, and was NOV
ing about in primitive attire-consisting
wholly of very short shirt. The moment the
saucer dropped the burning liqaid spurted
from the dish, and catching hold of the capil-
liary substance on the legs of our friend, mount
ed up his body like a fash of lightning, and
reaching his very luNuriant whiskers almost in
simultaneously, burst out into a cloud of hsme
and instantly disappeared. The movement was
so rapid that the man was stupehed for a sec
ond. In the next he fell to slapping his Scared
limbs, rubbing his burnt face, and bowling like
a disappointed lunatic. But it cured the bow
and as that was what the parent got up for he
is probably satisfed.-Ddnbury Netgs.

EPISODE OF THE TICHBoRNE TRIAL-HaUs
Big Men Big Minds "A London letter saws that
"there seems to be a conviction abroad that Dr.
Keneally will be disbarred after the conclusion
OF the Iichborne case, the defence of which he
has conducted with a pertinacity and impru-
deuce never equalled in a British court of JUS
tice. His frequent violent controversies with
the bench and the angry demeanor of the lord
chief justice are not very creditable TO anv of
the professional gentlemen concerned"
The latest subject of debate in the trial was
whether mental characteristics express them
selves in physical forms? DIR. Keneally, the
claimants counsel, conceived that men of gi-
gantic stature have mighty passions, and men
toned Fox, the statesman as an instance of the
truth OF the theory. The chief justice smiled
sardonically, and said that Sheridan, his con-
temporary, was as extravagant and as mad as
Fox, but as thin as q herring. Following this
remark, he said they had seen great MANY
giants exhibited in their day, and asked IL it was
found that they were more given to excuses
than men of smaller statue? To this DIR. Ke-
neatly promptly replied, "No, my lord, because
they are always locked up in their caravans"
The chief justice gave up the fight.

4 Remarkable Adventure.

ABOUT five weeks ago son of Dr. W
H. Eldridgc, of this district, suddenly
disappeared, and was not heard from IN
Ill last Saturday The boy says that on
the evening Of Oct. l9 as he was leaving
the aporhecary store on Bunker Hill
street, where ne was employed, he was
approached by man who informed him
that q fire Was raging IN the vicinity of
Chelsea bridge, and asked him to go
down and see it. Arriving at the bridge
no fire was 10 be seen, and when Just on
the point of returning he was seized
around the neck by the man, who Choked
him until ne became unconscious. robbed
him. and then threw him over the railing
into the waters Of the Mystic. The chill
which the plunge into the river gave to
his system restored him SO that he was
able 10 attempt to save himself. The
tide was running out, and he, being i
SKillful swimmer, kept from drowning
and tiuutcd down the stream until OppO-
site East Boston, where friendly spar
which was floating in the water came
near 10 him, and gaining this he tlOated
out 10 SEA. He subsequently became un-
conscious, and when he rallied again he
was out OF sight of land, still clinging to
the log After remaining in the water
nineteen hours he was rescued by brig
bound for Greenland, and as he did not
csre to visit that country he was placed
on board an English steamer, the name
of which he states Was the Norman, and
carried to Liverpool. He improved the
first opportunity to return home in the
steamer Smyrna, which arrived at this
port last Saturday-BOSt0H Globe
