And the mother glanced at the child's

"Be happy to him when he comes !"

N A stranger came to town, on Sat-

backed, with a blind-bridle. He was
very anxious to sell the horse-so much
so, that he sold it to person whom he
did not know, for $50. and trusted him
for $50 OF the amount. He was then i'm.
patient to cross the river at once. The
circumstances were so suspicious. that be

until Monday morning. when, nothing
new having come to light. and there be.
ing no evidence upon which to detain
him. he was set at liberty, and got across

AT TIE TABERNACLE.-On Sunday last Brig
ham is said to have treated his audience to Il
very quaint sort of a speech. He wants all the
young women married off instanter, and wants


all the young men in Zion to marry them and


he openly threatened if the young men failed to
do the job, that he and the bishops and elders


would take the matter in hand and marry them
all themselves. Marrying for love was played


out that old fashioned way of getting married


exploded. 1t wouldn't do here, because if
young man allowed himself to love young
girl and then married her the dickens usually


was to pay when he wanted to take n second


wife. She had his heart and it was impossible
to divide the affections with two more wives.
But he insists that the young men, duty-a
religious duty-should 90 for the young women
on other principles than love, and marry them
all Off. They were instructed also to marry
them by couples and pairs, and triplets; to
quadruplc, quintuple and sextnple if they could
support them. The only consideration for
prudent young mnn was in inqairing how many
wives he could support. The young women
were also ordered TO marry whenever young
man, Saint, went for them, and to become
mothers in Israel. The Prophet preached in this
strain, and this is called religion here.-Sah

A CURIOUS STORY. - The Bank oe England
possesses some singular traditions and expert
ences. We heard the other day an anecdote
from an authentic source, although in relation
to something that happened many years ago
before the lifetime of the present generation.
The directors received anonymous letter,
stating that the writer had the means of access
to their bullion room. They treated the matter
as hoax and took no notice of the letter
Another more urgent and specific letter failed to
rouse them. At length the writer offered to
meet them in the bullion room at any hour they
pleased to name. They then communicated with
their correspondent through the channel he had
indicated, appointing some 8 dark and midnight

the board, lantern in hand. repaired to the bull
lion room !; locked themselves in and awaited
the arrival of the mysterious correspondent.
Punctual to the hour a noise was heard below.
Some boards in the floor were without much
trouble, dis placed, and in few minutes the Guy
Fawkes of the Bank stood in the midst of the
astonished directors His story was very simple
and straightforward. An old drain ran under the
bullion room, the existence of which had be-
came known to him, and by means of which he
might have carried away enormous sums. In

1t is understood the following revenue
offices were not filled prior TO the adjourn
ment, and must, therefore remain vacant
till next session: The collectorship in the
fifth district of Missouri, assessorship in
the first New York, twelfth Pennsylvania,
second Indiana, ninth Illinois and fourth
Wisconsin districts. The revenue law pro-
vides that when the assessors Office is va
cant the duties shall be performed by the
assistant assessor of the division in which
the assessor is required to reside. He gets
no extra compensation and no commission
sof acting as assessor, but his pay remains
at five dollars per day. The duties of COZ
lector, in case of vacancy, are performed
by the Oldest deputy, unless the Secretary
OF the Treasury directs that they shall be
reformed by some other one. There will be
no difficulty, Notwithstanding the tenure of
office law, in paying the expenses of the
various assessors Offices. Provisions for
the expenses Of the collectors Office is not
so readily made, but as there is only one
vacancy, the Secretary Of the Treasury
does not anticipate serious trouble in ar

Some time ago We printed in the Ledger
q statement of an old sea captain that ves-
sells could be saved in storm at sea by
pouring oil upon the water. A correspond
ent writes to the London Shipping Gazette
confirmation Of this, and says he saw a
practical illustration of its efficacy. The
event occurred on voyage from St. Johns,
N.F., to Bristol, England. The vessel was
loaded with oil and blubber, and expert
encing severe weather, was disabled and
thrown on her beam ends. The sea being
very heavy, it was suggested that oil would
smooth it; and hogshead was broached in
the hold, and the oil pumped into the ocean
with the water made by the vessel leaking.
The effect was marvellous. The vessel was
drifting to leeward, and to windward the sea
appeared as though there was calm; and
in spite of tremendous gale, the sea never
broke on board for the eight days the vessel
Law to. When the effect was observed, the
oil was not spared, and the vessel reached
Sicily, though so crippled as not to be worth
repairing. If this be true, it must greatly
diminish the danger Of whaling, and few
barrels placed on board every other sea-
going craft might prove q salvation IN
stormy weather.-Pailadslphia Ledger.

RICHMOND CoLLEGE.-We are pleased
to notice that there will be taught in this
excellent institution next session COM
mercial course, embracing business arith-
metic and bookkeeping. This is q step
in the right direction. Students of the
college, who contemplate entering upon
business, will be enabled whilst prosecu-
ting their other studies to acquire much
important and necessary information i'm
mediately bearing upon their future occu-
patton. They can enter the counting room
with a clear understanding of their duties.
The promotion of one thus equipped be-
fore hand, other things being equal, will
be sure and rapid.


But every man, whether intending to
enter business life or not, is directly in
terested in knowledge which every day is
called into use in the transactions of trade.
Those students who contemplate u literary
or professional career should at some time
make themselves acquainted with these
subjects. At Richmond College they will

JUDGE BURNHAM's CoURT-THE CLAF-
Film Us. STEENBoCK s. Co. CAsE.-Our
readers will remember that the case Of
Clafflin Us. Steenbock s. Go. has occupied
the attention of Judge Burnhams court
since Monday last. The question was
raised whether or not the Judge OF tins
court had the power of trying an attach
ment in q pending suit at a monthly term
of the court upon motion to abate the
attachment. Yesterday Judge Burnham
decided that he had Jurisdiction to try and
decide such motion at a monthly term,
to which the plaintiffs, by counsel, except
ed. Some difficulty arose then as to the
bill of exceptions to be signed by the
court, and considerable part OF the
day was spent in discussing that mat
ter. Then the question arose upon the
suggestion of defendants counsel, whether
the case should be tried before jury or
by the court. The plaintiffs counsel stood
mute, and the Judge thcreupon at first
directed jury to be summoned, and after
wards, upon suggestion that the defend
ants did rot claim jury, the Judge re-
verscd that, and decided that the court
would hear and decide the cause without a
Jury. And thereupon the further ques-
tion arose as to which party, the plaintiff
or defendant, had to open or conclude the
argument of the cause before the court.
1t was argued until o'clock, the hour of
adjournment, when the Judge announced
that he would decide the question this
morning.
