in chronicling chroni cling the fact and although we are without any of f those interesting occurrences that form such a prominent feature in the history of the day such as robberies seductions suicides ac we consider ourselves a happy set without them and try to do the best we can under the existing circumstances the eraas been somewhat cold and inclement for a few days past but crops were generally gathered in so that there has hag not been een much injury sustained by the farmers thus far A large number of discharged teamsters and other U S employees have passed through here on their way to california and we hear there are many others still coming thus far all has been peace and quiet as far as the indians are concerned on the southern route to california we have heard of no outrages upon travelers south of this place and think if travelers to the land of gold will wil I 1 be cautious and mind their own business not interfering with the indians that they will not be interrupted on their way to that place the southern route is well adapted for winter travel being always open even in the most inclement seasons of the year and feed and water tolerably abundant the indians indiana along the route have almost always been peaceably peaceable dispo disposed sei seq to emigrants but have an unfortunate propensity of appropriating ap to themselves the goods and chatte chattels s of others very frequently confounding and but a proper degree of care will prevent any difficulty on this account without having recourse to powder and ball emigrants should travel in companies of not less t than an eight or ten be prudent pursuing u r icing a conciliatory course with the indians i a n s and they will probably get through h to california without any but if 1 f on the contrary they adopt the old fashioned plan of shooting all the indians the they can an ca just to see them jump they may pro probably abi abl take a few lessons in the art of jumping themselves before they finish their journey it is is to be hoped that nothing will occur to mar the peaceful relations that thai now exist with the natives es along the route the spirit manufactures beems seems to ie be on the increase among us and the lium hum of the spinning wheel is heard in nearly every house giving promise of an increase in the substantial comforts of life the pail factory at this place now sends forth an abundant supply of pails bails not surpassed in excellence of material and durability by that of any s similar establishment in the united states we feel anxious that our fair terri

england our remarks were chiefly in reference to discoveries cover co veries verles les leg of the practice being carried to a startling extent eilent among the female members of the church of st barnabas one of the aristocratic establishments of fashionable religion in london A public meeting was held to denounce it and the license of the curate con fessor was revoked by the bishop another meeting was lately held in london at which a memorial to the queen was adopted also aiso a petition to parliament to put down the confessional fess ional system and other practices not in accordance with the church of england and to protect the purity of the faith and worship of the protestant reformed church from the devices and machinations of men who while nominally belonging belon ng to that
