away a few weeks ago, on North street,
iniuring the wagon and team, met with
another accident of Il like nature, on sat
urday last. He was crossing the causcway
with 4 load Of flower, going towards Chcsa-

student start broke one of the single trees,
throwing Mr. Taylor from his place on the
front Of the wagon The horses without
a driver made off down the road. just
beyond Holly Hall, few hundred yards
from where they started, the wagon and its
contents was overturned and plecpitated

THE MORMONS.

The death of Brigham Young has left
the Mormons (or as they are pleased to
call themselves, in contradistnction to
the chosen Israel of ancient times, ''the
| Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints') without Il leader.
The crafty and cunning Brigham, upon
| whose shoulders the mantle of the mar
tyred Joseph descended, has been COM
PEELED to succumb to the last enemy. He
who led his deluded followers across the
almost UNEMPLOYED wilderness to the desert
fastness of Utah, and afterwards set at de-
tiance the military power of the United
States, whose laws he had violated and
whose citizens he had murdered, has gone
to answer the summons of court from
whose decisions there is no appeal. He
| acted, while he lived, as if he sincerely be-
lievcd in the inspiration of the Book of
Mormon, than which there has never been
penned a stranger tissue of nonsense and
falsehood. The people that live century
hence, when the believers ia this strange
delusion are forgotten or only referred to
in the history of the past will wonder that
it lasted so long and that they accomplished
so much. Still more will they wonder if
the dearth of sagacity and craftsmanship
in the nation causes the present suspicious
opportunity to pass unimproved and suffers
this vile relic of Oriental barbarism to fes-
ter upon the body polite and disgrace the
boosted civilization of the nineteenth CELL
tury. However, it is probable that this
gigantic humbug, this conSummate swim.
die, this stupendous conglomeration of des-
potism and tyranny, contains within itself
the germs Of its own destruction.
Had Joseph, the first prophet, been wise
in his day and generation, he would have
added a chapter to the Book of Mormon,
in which he would have made some provi-
sion fora successor. Had Joseph bethought
himself ant taken the trouble to do this,
he would have saved Brother Strang, who
claimed to be his rightful successor by vir-
tue OF new revelation which he received
by an angel direct from heaven, a great
deal OF trouble and expense and no doubt
aided much in perpetuating the delusion
which he promulgated. 1t is certainly
proof of the want of sagacity in Brigham
that he did not supply the omission, for it
seems to be a serious one, and his failure to
do this will broadly lead to the disruption
and end in the dissolution of the Mormon
Church. We may be mistaken in regard
to this matter, but the circumstances and
situation of the MormonS of to day are en-
tirely different from those that existed
when the indignation of an outraged coun
try sent Joseph where he doubtless met the
justice he was So successful in Guiding while
upon earth.
1t may be that the mantle of the departed
Brigham will descend upon the shoulders
of one who has the ability to wear it with
safety and who has energy and spirit enough |
to retain it, but We are of the opinion that
a successor, with the qualifications neces-
