Mormon Apostaeies. • Brigham has not been able to lead all who., have embraced the MOrmon faith. There. have been a great in Lny apostates. In a conversation with R w. Mr. Foots an Episcopal elergyin se) here, he *admitted that fifteen out of every twenty of the original American Mormons -have apostatized.1 George A. Smith, the historian of the church, said fire out of every, six Americans had •turned back. Foreigners • are more faithful. • The first •general apostacy was in 1852, hinder Bishop Gladden, who, while -holding on to the doctiires of the Book of Mormon, condemned poly- gamy Brigham preached a sermon ii March, 1853, front 'which we take the following sentences : In 1863, began the apostacy of the Josephites under the leadership of Joseph Smith, Jr., sera of the rekophet. Re hair set up the Mormon Church, East. He is not in the territory and his followers are leaving it. In 1864, three hunilred left the territory under an escort furnished by Gen. Conner: It is estimated that not leas than 1,500 have left in all. They accept the Book of Mormon, the Bible, believe in con- tinued revelation, are loyal to- the Unit- ed States and tothe laws: The follow- ing extract from their articles of faith will show how they regard Brigham Young and his doe-air:Les : "When a man cornea right out like an independent devil, and says 'd MOrtnonisne and all the Mormons,' and is Off with himself to California, I say he is a gentleman, by the side of a iaasty, sneaking anostate, who is opposed to nothing but 'Christianity. % '6 % Now, you Gladdeni-Ws, keep your tonguewlitill, lest _sudden destruction' come upon,you I say, rather than that apostates. snould flourish here,. I will' einsLeath my bowie knife and conquer or die." ' • The secondapostacy was commenced in 1860. Joseph Morris. felt himself inspired anA made a.'revelation, and set up a new Church. • In the course of three *months he had five hundred., These followers of Morris refused to train ia the Nauvoo legion, were fined• their property tr ken and confiscated to the church. The fines and costs amount- ed to $60 per individual. They had a settlement on Weber river, north of , Salt Lake, wEere in the spring 1862, they seizedl a load of flour and the than, driving the team, "and held on _ the property and the man, demanding • isatis'action and a . proper 'adjustment and'abatement of the fi tes, • : Brigham . went •to judge Kinney, • IT: S. Judge obtained writs of habeas corpus, sent the Sheriff, • Robert T. Burton, with a thousand men of the Naetvoo legion and five pieces of .artil- lery te wipe out the Morrisites and put down the apostacy. The Morrisites showed fight,—Bur- ton opened upon them with his Cannon, —there. was some musket firing,—two of the legion and -several of the Mor- iisites killed, when the latter surren- dered. Burtonrode into the settlepent and found Morris, pulled his'yeiotver and• shot him dead,—turned round, -saw Morris' chief follower,. Banks, 'killed him with a second shot. Mrs. Bow- man said, "You blood -thirsty wretch." "No one shall say that and live," re- • plied Barton, and shot her through the heart. . A Danish woman-mide a wild out- cry at such atrocity, when Burton blew her brains out. • Yet this man is the present Collec- tor of Internal Revenue in this city. - The prisoners were plundered, every- thing taken,--clothingwatches, jew- • ellery, cattle, wagons, furniture,—and confiscated to the church. ' • They were .br?ught to Salt Lake City,: placed under bonds by -Judge 1.1nney' for appearance at court, were tried, fined and imprisoned. • Gen. °mirror came soon after, estab- lished a military post 175 miles north of 'Salt Lake, gave notice to all pet- s�ni who wished to go that they co..ld have an escort and _transpurtation. Eighty families put theniselves under his protection , and are now. in Idaho •Territory, beyond • the jurisdiction of Brigham Young. So ended the •qor- monite apostacy. THE SgAFoTt.TH EXPOSITOR.. IF. YOU WANT A P OUCH! -"We trelieve that the,church in Utah u ider the erresidency of Brigham Yqung, has apiistatized from the true order of the gospel. "We believe .that the doctrines of polygamy, h urnanitticrifice, or il ling of men to save their Borth, :Adam being God, Utah being Zion, or the gathering place for the saints, are doctrines' of 'devils. instituted by wicked men for ihe acconiplishment of their own lust: tui desires *tad a viem to their own per- sonal aggrandizement "We believe in 'being true and loyal to the Government, of the United ..•,:tates, and have no sympathy or fel- 1)wship for the treasonable practices ard wicked abomiutr.tions ii.dorsed by 13righani Young and his followers." The Daily Reporter published here is the organ of the Josephites.- The edi- tor has lately received threatening let- zers—one containing :the picture of a gallows and himself hanging by the neck. He was publicly threatened by Brigham at the late conference meeting. SPREAD OF MORMONISM. The Desert News for the week has a column of missionary intelligence, front which we learn that during the latter half of last year and the first half of 1868, '3,4•35 were baptized into the church in England'; that great suc- cess had attended the Swiss mission, and that tile .prospect abroad never Was so great as now. It may oe'set down that the natural increase:in. the Territory, with emigra- tion, will add about 12,000 to the Mormon population. -during the present year—or 1,000 a month. Brigham with good reason- may boast that .Mormonism, instead of dying out has increased never so fase as the present time: • The Patron Saint of Ireland. • St. Patrick himself is said to have been born at Tours, and to have been carried a slave to Ireland while very. young. He managed to escape, but •could not return as a missionary till he was sixty years old, passing an equal number of ,years in the country, during which he founded 365 chit•rches, ordain- ed as many bishops, and 3,000 priests. He was buried at Downpatrick, where his grave, on which nothing but grass and the shamrock can grow, is held rnost sacred. Al -out a mile and a -half off is the Struell Well. iSt. Patrick and St. Bridget ore day were walking together, when St. 1 Bridget fee:Mg thirsty, expressed her doubts whether her companion could do what Moses did in the,wildermss-2provide a mira- culous supply of water. On that St. Patrick struek St. Bridget on the the foot; the blood that issued was chang- ed into water, and the -stream has been running ever since. St. Patrick had a wonderful cow, the bones end one of the horns of. which ,were disco:ered at Ardpatrick. Or. one occasion its calf was stolen, and the cow made a large double trench from Cashel to Ardnore whilet going in search of it. The Saint's staff Was carried from Armagh t Christ -Church Cathedral at Dublin, and burned in 1508. It was at that hurch that Lambert Simnel was crown ed as Edwaid VI., the crown uSed on the occasion being borrowed front the Statue of the Virgin in a neighboring church. There is a very ancient bell in existence which may, •wititout any great stretch of imagination, be. sup- posei to have been the identical bell of •St, Patrick, which Colgan tells us, when toiled as a preventative against evil spirits and magicians, was beard from the Giant's Causeway to Cape Clear, an.cl.from the Hiil of Howth to - the vvestern shores of Connemara. No wonder, with such implements at hand, the Saint bauished all reptiles from Ireland. Irish soil was considered a Sure preservative agamst vermin of all sorts, and. the naoundetin which Cocker- mouth Castle, -in Cumberland, was built, was brought from Ieeland under that impression.—Cornhill Magazine. • THE 'Local" begs to tender an expression aids gratitude to Dr. J Briggs the Chiro- podist, for having relieved him of a corn, which people in a crowd had an ugly habit of treading Upon. It was of no use what- ever, except as a natural bareraetor, for it always made considerable" leaping before a stona On this account they may be missed, but its absence will not be regretted.

Seater. 1 in A promising young shaver was read- ing his lesson at school one day, in that deliberate manner for which urchins of that age are somewhat remarkable. As heproceeded with his task he came up- on the passage, 'Keep thy tounge from evil, and thy lips from guile.' Mas- ter Hopeful drawled out, 'Keep—thy ----tounge---from—evil and—thy- -lips--from—girls.' The Invention of Colt'a Revolver. The'Louisville'etiregs is responsible for the following CurIoUS story ni re- ference to the invention • of the pistol wbieh goes by the name of "Colt're- volver." If the story is not true'it is at all events ingeniously •devised to bear the sem blence of truth, but it is imply given hear as a curiosity.: There are people in Tennessee, who will tel you a einem story about the way in which the late Colonel Colt in vented the iepeater ehich bears his name, and which enitilled him to leave a widow with an in Iona r,ofne.Lrly $400, 000.- They say that some tweni y -five years ago ginirnitbfiorn Fayetteville in that State sw(-nt to Nashville in search of employment, and as he was a skilful workman and a sober, and in- dustrious man, he. soon found something to do in one of the shops there He was what the we] 1J calls 'a good, easy fellow,' always at work, and always poor, wasting most of his time upon in- ventioes of bis 'own, scree of which were worthless, and some of which lacked Perseverance and the means o complete and introduce to the public Among -the last nataeu was a repeating _ . pistol, a model of which he had madeat Fayetteville and brought with him: to Nasbville._ had never had ib pat - tended; for te enty oe twenty-five years ago it wk -..s far giore troublesome to pre - cure a petent-fdr anew • in-Yention thao it is in onr day, iaventors in obscure, knowing little or nothin about the process by which patentistaro obtained: Workingin the same shop -eith our Fayettiville grinsmitlitaVasei raring journeyman ` from • Connectieut named Colt. The new-fangled pistol was drawn from the inventors trrink once and exhibited to the workmen.'- C'elt 'tbok a glod look at iy examining it with the greatest of carp ; but like the shrewd y. nkee he was, said nothing as to its,merits. In a few days Mr. Colt threw up his situation in the Nashville shop and retie tied to his netive Stele. Nothing more was hearkl af him until he turned rip as inventor and patentee of Colt's repeater --the indentical re - pea tor the Faeretville guesmith exliibi- ted to him in Nashville. "This -is tlie story they tell in- Ten, nessee. We do not vouch for the truth of it, though we think it likely that it might very safely be done. Colt died a millionaire, le kving a wile and seven children to mourn his loss and rejoice in his genius, and 10 enjoy an income of $397,000. The Payettiville gunsmith may or may not have starved to death. If he did not, it was bcause it.is itied always has been impossible to starve in so plentiful a country as Ten- nessee. • Wonderful Power of the Whale • If the whale knew its own power, he -would e wily destroy all the machinery the art of man could devise fer catch- ing him ;it would be only neccessary for him to swim on the sm.-face in a. straight line, in order to, break the thickest rope but instead, on being struck by the harboon, he obeys a natural instinct, which in this instance betrays him to his death. Sir HuM- phrey Davy, in his "Salmonia," ob- serves that the whale, 'not having an air bladdtr, can sink to the lowest depths of the meat., and mistaking the harpoon for the teeth of the swordfish or shark ; he instantly descends, this being his manner of freeing himself from these enemies., who cannot bear the pressure of a deep ocean ; and trom ascending and descending in 'small space, he thus puts himself in power of the whaler. If we includethe pressure of tbe atmosphere, a body at the depth of 100 feet would sustain that of sixty pounds on the square inch ; while out of 408 feet, a depth by no means con- siderable, would be exposed to a pres- sure of 1830 pound& We need not, therefore, feel surprised that on the foundering of a ship at sea, though its timbers part, not a spar floats- to the surface, for if the hull was sunk to a great depth, all that is porus is penetra- ted with water, or is greatly compressed. Scoresby states that by entangling the harpoon, a boat was carried' down by the whale, it required *after it was re covered, two boats to keep it at the sur- face. Soon as the whale dives after being wounded, it draws out the line or cord f the harpoon, -which is coiled- Up in the boat with very considerable ve- locity. In order therefore, to prevent any accident from the violence a this - motion, which might set the side of the boat on fire, one man is stationed with an axe to cut the rope asunder if it should become entangled, while another _furnished with a mop, is conetantly cooling with water the channel through whichitpasses.---The' World of Won- ders. • Josh Billings correctly remarks : Suc- cess in life iz very apt tow make ns for- get the time when we wasn't much: It is just so with the frog on the jump he kant remember when he was a tad - hole but other folks can. 4 0 " .
