The family of James Scott, of Cbuk county, Ind , is afflicted with a very strange sort of lunacy, I hey are Mormons, and Scott professes to be the oracle of God. His wife was ta ken sick late in August, and lie con fined her in a room, to which he re fused to admit anybody but his son and daughter. The neighbors made seveial attempts to got in, but be al ways opposed them. One day a Mor mon minister called and said he bad received “manifestation from God" t© the effect that he should ses the wo man, but Scott replied, “I have a la ter manifestation to kick you off the premises,’ &nd kicked him according ly. Finally a baud yf men detyrmin- j ed to unravel the mystery. Ihej'j broke iuto the room, the father, son, and two daughters meanwhile stand ing by moaning and talking wildly. | They found the confined woman sit ting in a chair, and looking stiff and i solid as marble, lur lace void of ex- J pression, and sho evidently cpiite in- , different to all that was going on. . The woman, when she was first taken sick, got g, notion into her head that she would never die, but would lie translated as Elijah of old; and aftei sifting the matter, it is pretty clearly asceitained that Scott intended to keep his wife concealed until shod e l and then give out to the world that she was translated. A movement bus been mads to have the whole family examined by a lunacy commission. • What Gov. Baxter Says- The correspondent of the Cincin nati Commercial, writing on the 12th ult., describes an interview held with Governor Baxter, at Little Rock. We quote: W T e talked for some time, he going into the details of the miserable Ar yans muss. He said that the prosper ity and welfare of the State was at stake, and that if the Clayton and Brooks ring won. then good-bye Ar kansas. With such men in power, buying and selling the State at pleas ure, there could be no peace or pros perity'. “I con'd have been in the Stnto House to-day," said the Gover nor, “and in undisputed possession, had I consented to do the bidding of Clayton and Dorsey. But 1 would not. I could not. as an honest man, allow myself to be made a tool of to carry out their selfish ends. Ten weeks ago, in this city, I was aproach ed by a man‘coming from Clayton and Dorsey, who offered me a United States Judgeship and all the money I wanted if I would do certaiu dishon orable things to advance their inter ests. No, sir; it was only when they found they could not use me —make a tool of me—that they concocted this plan to rob me of the Governorship. That plot was laid right hero in this city, and all because I would not sell iny r self to Clayton and his ring.” Crematory age—“O, ma! mu ! John ny’s got the urn and is spilling pa’s ashes over the floor!’ “O, what a naughty Johnny!
