. THE EARTHQUAKE. — ‘
The earthquake of Sunday evening the 26th-'_
seems not to have been observed in New Haven,
although very generally throughout F airfield
county, as well as on Long Island, etc. The‘
New York Post states that a clergyman in Him-
tington was reading at the desk .when his book
was thrown off on the floor. '
At Greenfieldl-Iill, milk pans were thrown-.
down, and considerable consternation was pro-
duced among the people. A geiicleman residing
there mentions it as a fact, perhaps connected
with this phenomenon, that on Thursday even-
ing the springs and wells in that neighborhood‘
were ‘all dry for more than an hour and a hall‘;-

THE MORMONS.

A circular addressed “to the whole
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day

Saints,” inform us, that on Sunday, the 5th
of October, “about 5000 Saints had the in-
expressible joy and great satisfastioii to
meet, for the first time in the house ofthe
Lord in the city of Joseph.” The temple
was commenced on the 6th of April 18-11,
and on this occasion, it was entirely eti-
closed, windows in, with temporary floors,
pulpits, and seats to accommodate so ina-
riy persons preparatory to a general coii-
ference.

On the 6th, 7th, and 8th, meetings ofthe
General Conference were held ; at which
finally, it was resolved unanimously, “that
thi: pelople movle, €ii]771C;'i’.S‘le, go the wplst,”
ant “tiat we tacea 0 tie aints wit its

appointed for the sale of lands In’ the vari-
ous settlements of Hancock Count ' and

crops in England are still in a very de-
pressed state. The l_iarvest has been con-
siderably retarded, owing to the unsettled
condition of the weather. Late rains
have aided in spreading the Potatoe dis-
case, which defies all attempts at eradica-
tlou. Great damage has also accrued to
the Corn crops all over the country——and
it is feared that much of it will not be in
readiness for gathering in before the ad-
vent of cold weather. A steady rise in
the value of bread-stuffs will be the con-
sequence.

an early hour last Monday morning,
a Miss Bickford, a woman of b:id-clia-r--
actor, was murdered in the house of Mr.
Lawrence in Cedar Lane, near Cambridge
Bridge, Boston. The Traveller of last
evening says——appearances indicate that
the murderer cut the woman’s throat, and
then threw the body into the fire, set fire
to her clothes, the bed and other articles
of furniture in the room, and made his es-
cape. The smolze caused by the fire in
the room occasioned the speedy discovery
ofthe deed. A notorious character, well

T/tat Lo ‘k of kaz'r—a Romance .9poz'lcd.--
It seems that lock of hair so choicely de-
posited in an oak tree, mentioned in the
American a few weeks since, was any-
thing but a-love affair. The following re-
marks .by a correspondent, solveth the

mystery.—“Tlicre was years ago, and I-

presumeis yet to some extent, a super-
stition among some people, that if you cut
offa lock ofhair from the-head,.bore aholc
in a tree, put in the hair and plug the hole
up tight——it will cure the headache or car-
aclie, I forget which. Finger nails served
in the same way relieve the tooth ache,
and so on I suppose with all other com-
plaiats—which was certainly cheaper and
perhaps as efficacious as more modern
liumbugs for relieving aches and’ pains.”
The parties to this experiment, are still on
hand to enjoy the present 'wonda7'mc7zt——and
thus endstliis curious all‘-air!

Correspo'ndeuce ofthe Journal ofGommercc.
A-nriiiui’, 27th, Oct. 18:15.

It is nowevident that the Canal tolls for
the present year will far exceed the iriost
sanguine expectations. The receipts for
the week ending the 22d inst., will’ show
an excess of $35,000 over the correspon-
ding week last last year. The aggre-
gate for the season to the 22d inst.,
over a correspoiiding period last year, will
be about $49,000.. This, supposing the
tolls for the remainder of t-he season to be
no more than they were last‘ year, will
show a total for the year 18-1-5-of ‘ $2,485,
374;. The immense receipts of produce at
tide water for the third Canal week of the
present month, and the large amount of.
merchandise passing west, so far exceed‘-
ing those of any week of any previous sea-
son, all calculation as to further. receipts
is set at defiance.

TEXAS.

The election took place in Texas on
Monday, the 13th ult. So strong was the
conviction that opposition to annexation
would be fi'tiitless, that there was not a
heavy vote polled. The vote was taken
upon three distinct questions, Annexation,
Adoption ofthe Constitution and the Ordi-

Flour Speculzitions-.—Very large sales
of flour were made in this city yesterday
before it was known that the Great VVes-
tern had arrived at New York, at an ad-
vance of twenty five to -fifty cents a bar-
rel on previous prices. A few hours af.
ter, the news came, and its tenor justifies
the conclusion that the purchasers must
have had the information before entering
the market. The purchases, it is believed
were on New York account.

The New York papers state that speci-
mens of Rail Road Iron, manufactured at
the Moment Iron Works, Danville, Pa.,
can now be seen in that city. They are
spoken of as of the finest quality—weigh
50 lbs. to the yard, and are of the H or
edge pattern. The article is furnished at
the Company’s Works for $75 per ton.

‘those below came on deck to inquire

not so violent as the first, which was suc-
Iceeded by a sound resembling the explo-

A correspondent in Stiatford informs us
that about the same time in that town,

CONVICTED or 1\«'IUitnnit.—-Andrew'P. Potter,
has been convicted at New Haven, of the murdet
of Lucius P. Osborn, in February lass.

The Courier says :

His counsel moved for an. arrest ofjud‘g.»
ment, and should a new trial thus begranv
ted by the Court, sentence will not be’
pronounced, if otherwise it will be, altlio’-‘
the case may afterwards he carried up to.-
tlie Supreme Court. It is questionable,
however, whether it will be contested fur-
ther. »

The jury on the first ballot were unani-
mous, with the exception of one blan
vote.

Mom: CORN.—We supposed, as we stated!-
last week,that we had reached an ultimatum in.
the corn line, but it appears that we were mista-

ken. John Smith, who has forseveral years

cultivated the farm of Charles Marvin,_EsFl. of

Wilton, brought us another sample on Saturday
last. The lot consisted of thirty ears of eight-._
rowed yellow corn, 3. dozen of which averaged,
14 inches, running from 13 1-2 to I5 1 4. The
remainder was very little short of this in length,’
very large, bright and full kernels, making (0.,
pgether. dicidedly the best sample we.have seen,

at the next sessionvof Congress.
