The performance last night, was an- ; other brilliant success. We need not allude in particular, to any especial excellencies of the piece, , for in all essential respects the whole was faultless. Boquet after boquet was showered upon the stage, and the whole audience were quite enraptured with the ToniooS Miss Honsox, and the Marie of Miss Durand. Lyster makesa capi tal Sulpice. In short.aud in all respects, the Company are up to the very best standard of classical Opera, and those who fail to see their representations, de prive themselves of an entertainment of the most refined, chaste, and delight ful character. To-night,—which we regret is the lasi but one— Auher’s fine Opera of the Crown Diamonds will he presented. There has been an increasing attend ance every night during the week, and we learn that a very large number of tickets have been sold to day, therefore those who wish to procure seats would do well to go early. — Virginia Rye Whiskey.

On, to the west, on, beyond the moun tains, on towards the setting sun, on, over broad, rivers and fertile prairies, on, on, during days, and weeks, and months of weary travel, we journey, and at last we look for the first time upon tile Paradise of the Mormons, up on the far famed city of the Salt Lake. The day is drawing towards its close, as a j’oung man of about twenty-two or three years of age might be seen, leav ing one of the larger houses in the out skirts of the city, and slowly taking his way towards the Lake shore. It was a fine evening, and, although in the mid dle of winter, the atmosphere was mildj and pleasant, and the sun, before slnk-i ing in the west, cast a soft mellow tint over the landscape. Still the young man walked on, heedless of the beauties, of nature, and seemingly sunk in deep, and to judge by the compressed brows, | not overpleasant thoughts. Walter Berger had in childhood fol-, lowed his parents in their emigration to Utah, but being naturally of a strong mind, lie had soon, notwithstanding the influence of early training, seen through; the shallow mockery of the Mormon re ligion, and would long since have left their modern pandemonium, if love for! his mi guided parents had not staid his : steps. But his hostility to the Mormon religion was well known, and by the Prophet and Elders he was looked upon with distrust, and nothing but his pop-, ularity with the poor, whose love he | had won by repeated acts of kindness had hitherto saved him. As it is, Brig-1 ham Young had to be satisfied withj putting spies upon his footsteps, hoping thereby to find some pretext to rid him self of a person, who, lie well, knows, j looked with contempt upon his authori- j ty- | Walter's parents had now been dead for nearly a year, and still he lingered, j bound by love, for one of those fair bo-! ings of which poets dream, and moth er nature sometimes sends us poor fel lows in commiseration of our cheerless j condition. | Fanny Langby, had, about two years ago, then a girl of about fourteen, fol-1 lowed her parents from their English I home to Utah, and since then, anger, | at her father’s unprincipled conduct, and commiseration for her mother's many sorrows, had matured her mind, and at sixteen she was less of a child, | and more of a woman than girls at that •age ill general are. Walter had known her since her nr rival, and had learned to love her, not so much for the beauty of her face, as I for the more solid and enduring quail- i j ties of her mind. Fanny on her side; had within the last year often found herself thinking of the kind pleasant youth, whose praises every one soun ded. Such stood the case to within a short time of the opening of our story, j when Walter confessed his love and re- j ceived the assurance of iier’s in return.! Aixiut a week before the evening on i which our story commences, Brigham Young had one day unceremoniously en tered Mr. Langby’s residence. It was the first time he had cro'sed their tresh hold, and also the first time he had come in such close contact with Fanny, with w'bose beauty lie seemed particu larly struck, and often during his some what lengthy visits she had to veil her eyes from the bold gaze of the libertine. Since then, she had often with terror thought on his parting words, which seemed to imply more than a mere wish to be better acquainted with the Lang by family. We now return to Walter Berger, who we left walking along the Lake shore. He had gone about two or three miles from the city before he came to a small cabin, built by the margin of the Lake and occupied by a person called Tom Burley, a Mountain hunter, who as he was rather a strange specimen of the jgenus homo, we will describe. | Short and thickset lie looked literally jas broad as long. This strange body i was supplied with arms of nearly Si jmian length, and a head very small and covered with bushy black hair, ! from under his over hanging brow jshown a pair of eyes of almost super human brightness, add to this, that he was dressed in a suit of tight fitting I buckskin clothes, which set off his pow erfully built frame to the greatest ad j vantage, as he would himself have said I —Tom Burley all over. Walter found Tom Burley ready to | launch a canoe, so stepping on board j they plied their paddles for sometime in silence. At last Tom said laughingly, j “ ’Spose you didn’t come here to pad i die a canoe?" “ No, I wished to have a ‘palavor’ with you, as you call it, about Brigham j Young, and tilings in general.’’ “ Well go ahead.” j “I told you a couple of days ago that \ Brigham Young had been at Mr. Lang by’s, and that he seemed to be particu larly struck with Fanny’s beauty.— Since then we have both been anxious about what his intentions may be, and I have been trying to persuade Fanny to i let me take her to a place of security, at Fort Bridgcr, but she feels unwill ing to leave her mother, who poor fool j ish woman, still has hopes of reclaiming |her depraved husband.’’ “ Well it's a pretty ticklish business, ; and all I can do, is to have some horses ; ready if any thing should happen.” “ Yes, but I am sure that Brigham has spies on me, and if I make any such preparations lie is sure to find out and lay his plans accordingly.” “Leave the horses to me, and you just lay low and keep dark and keen dark, and we will fool Brigham yet, or I’m a nigger.” After some further conversation they put ashore and Walter leaving Tom to pursue his journey alone returned homo. CHAPTER 11. It was towards nino o’clock the morn ing following Walter's interview with ,*the hunter that Brigham Young sat alone in a room in his stately mansion. He seemed thoughtful, and well he might, things had not gone as well late ly as lie might wish. First and fore t most that meddlesome old gentleman Unde Samuel, had seen fit to send some * of his nephews on a vist to him, and 3 although the cold of the winter had de barred them from consummating the latter part of their journey, still early ■ in the spring they would be sure to make their appearance, and then, he knew r well enough, that only two alternatives, 3 either unconditional surrender to the 3 authorities, or emigration to some out -1 of-tlie-way place, where he yet for a - few years might be at liberty to wallow in the mire of his licentious passions, r This, although his greatest, was yet > a somewhat distant danger, and like a philosopher he let every day take care * "f it-a if.

Add to this a head whose* ! monstrous size sat as it were upon a very i j small neck, caused it to rock to and fro ! j like that of the mandarines sometimes j seen in the windows of toy shops. Such was the person who entered Brigham Young's study. “ Well Pop, what have you got to I say ?” “I have followed your Excellency’s order and watched Walter Berger. I saw him yesterday once talking with j Fanny Langby and afterwards I follow-' |ed him to Tom Burley’s cabin, but j as they went out upon the lake I could ' j of course not overhear their conversa tion.” “ But you overheard what he said to j i Fanny ?” “ A great part. I heard them talk ing about your Excellency's visit and ( . j heard him urging her to fly to Fort j j Bridgcr.” Brigham, springing, up in a pas | sion, said, “I’ll learn him to meddle j, in my business ! To your post, Pop, ( and let me know if anything happens.” Anxious looks and traces of recent tears greeted Walter Berger as he made ! his appearance at Mr. Langby’s and ' ( good cause there was for both anxiety and tears, for that morning Mr. Langby had signified his intention to bring a j second wife to his limne. By the united voices of Fanny and - j Waiter, Mrs. Langby was at last per-1 j suaded to leave her brutish husband, and in company with her children seek : refuge at Fort Bridger. A long conversation followed, and | Walter telling them to be in readiness | the following night, left them to their preparations aud went ill quest of Tom i Burley. Tom was not at home, and lighting i his pipe, Walter had nothing else to do j ' but patiently await his arrival. Some time passed and still the hunter 1 1 did not makehis appearance,and Walter at last tired out of waiting, walked out! ' to seek him. He had only taken a few j ' steps outside the door, when sonic half a j dozen Danites springing upon him, he ; was overpowered, and notwithstanding j his struggles, his arms were securely bound. Scarcely was this done when - another party made their appearance leading Tom Burley also a prisoner. The twocaptives were then led some distance 1 from the cabin, where a wagon was in waiting. Into this they were put and ; carried to the residence of Brigham ‘ Young, and there put into an under : ground prison, with which the Mormon ! 1 tyrant had supplied his house. 1 For a short time after their captors ■ had left them, neither uttered a word, | but scarcely had the last sound of the ' retreating footsteps died away, when Walter to his wonder heard the Hunter ■ give a low chucking laugh. I should ( l think this no laughing matter, he said, ■ somewhat angry at the Hunter’s mirth. ' It may he darned for a woodchuck if ■ it ain’t, exclaimed Tom, once more ! j breaking out laughing, why the drat -1! teil fools never took away my knife and ' i puppies ; you just take out my knife ■j and we will soon be 0 K. I: Walter joyously done as 1m was bid, ■ and with a strong clasp knife lie soon J i liberated both himself and Tom. They l examined their cell thoroughly, hut 3 1 without finding any place by which an ■! escape was possible, till long after dark • | Walter accidentally happened to feel the J outlines of a trapdoor in the ceiling, ’ I moving a large block of wood which 1 . wps intended to serve as a table to a ! place nearly under the trap, Tom jump ! ed upon it and putting his back against t the door and exerting his immense ' strength he burst it open. Wlio the ‘-Southern Matron” is. sj “Belle Brittain,” in a letter to the J New Orleans Picayune, dated at liich -3 mond, refers to Miss Cunningham, “the , Southern Matron,” and the lady who - conceived the idea of purchasing Mount ■ Vernon. “She is,” remarks this cor ! respondent, “a native of Charleston, and an invalid from infancy. Never t having been married, the title of ‘Mat s ron’ is, of course, a misnomer; unless jby figure of speech, we may call her a j the ‘Virgin Mother’ of the great cause! 1 i to which she is dedicating her feeble, 1 ' yet most effective existence. ® ® ° I I found Miss Cunningham confined to 1 ! her bed; and marveled to see such i: strength coming out of weakness. It I'] is the power of thought, or will, or rather of love, that creates aud controls ; r ! the world. There, pale and physically 51 feeble, this chief apostle of Mount Ver • nonism has a patriotic fire in her eye that never fails to kindle a most conta gious enthusiasm.” i >.«■• - Broke Jail. j We understand that prisoners in jail, 3 last night, about 8 o’clock, by some means broke the locks of the cells, and by means of blankets descended from ' one of the windows and escaped.

Many in Or i leans, Niagara, and other counties, last; season raised large quantities of beans. At this time last year the price ranged j from $1 to $1 25, now from 03 to 75 cents. They have not sold for less than ! 31, we. think, for many years. A grea ter quantity have been consumed, no doubt, the present winter, than ever be- j fore, especially by the poor in cities, as they are really the cheapest food that: j can be used. Barley was substituted for wheat very generally, in this section, the last season, and the consequence is ! it now sells from 50 to 56 cents, though j bringing 31 and over for many years j previous. This depression, in part, may have been occasioned by the “hard; i times,’’but, in our opinion, it is in a . great degree owing to tire large quanti ; tics raised as a substitute for wheat.— We are fully satisfied that no one crop can be grown generally to take the place of wheat. We must depend upon a di ! versity, and the more diversified the better for the producers. Flaxseed now sells at SI 50 per bush ■ 1 el. There is a great scarcity of seed, very little being grown in this part of; the State, and our oil mills obtain their 1 stock from Ohio. The paper mills are; | glad to obtain the stalks without any j j preparation, thrown on tiie rack like j hay, at 35 a ton. Twenty bushels of j seed and one ton of stalks can he grown j |on a fair soil- If the ground was full! and well prepared, perhaps the reaping I machine might be used in harvesting; flax. Some of our oil manufacturers are; anxious to have the farmers of this section engage in the production of flax-; seed. A few are giving some attention to to bacco, and where persons have expe | lienee, so as to succeed in curing the ; crop well, it is very profitable. The , Chinese sugar cane and the production | of syrup and sugar is well worthy of at j tention. The raising of stock and the ! food for stock, in the cheapest and best j manner, is an all-important subject, up ion which the wisest may exhaußt their i wisdom, and the most experienced add ; very profitably to their stock of knowl edge.— Rural Xeic l’,rhr.

I*T The Great P r oblcm Solved !—DR, MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach lias lost the power of duly converting food into a life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric fluid re acquires it 3 solvent power, and the crude nutriment, which \v»s a load and a burthen to the sufferer, while his digestive organization was paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the w holesome revolution created in the system, the basis of activity, strength and health. The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the I acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-dolorcux 1 or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with paralysis, J home dewu and dispirited by that terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain or disability arising from the unnatural condition of the wonderful machinery which connects cv : cry member with the source of sensation, mo i lion and thought—derives immediate benefit from the use of this Cordial, which at once cal ms, invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous organization. Females who have tried it are unanimous in j declaring the Elixir to he the greatest boon that I woman has ever received from the hands of medical men. Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite. I While it renews the strength of the digestive J powers it creates a desire for the solid material j which is to be subjected to their action. As an j appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia. | Iflong lile and the vigor necessary to its en joyment are desirable, this medicine i 3 indeed of j precious worth i Its beneficial effects are not confined to either : sox or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailiug ! wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn , man of business, the victim of nervous depres sion, the individual suffering from general do* bility or from the weakness of a single organ will all find immediate and permanent relief from the use of this incomparable renovator. To those who liave a i>redijpopition to paralysis it will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard against that terrible malady. There are many perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu tion that they think themselves beyond the reach of medicine. Let not even those despair. The Elixir deals w ith disease os it exists, without re* lercnce to the causes, and will not only remove the disorder itself, hut rebuild the broken con stitution LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ity. hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts ofself-de s'ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys pepsia, general prostratiou, irritability, nervous ness, Inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe males, decay of the propagating functions, hys teria. monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of the heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from whatever cau c c arising, it is, if there is any reli ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute ly infallible. , CAUTION.—Dr. Morse’s.

It has one peculiarity, not common to most medicines, that is, the Doctor only recommends it for the cure of liver Complaint, or such dis eases as arise from a disordered Liver, and how well it bears the recommendations given is known to all who use it. We never have known a medicine of any kind to perform such astonish ing cures as*has beer* by the INVIGORATOR. It seems to strengthen and invigorate the whole body, increasing the vital energy, and giving a flow of health to many whose ills were consid ered incurable. We can recommend it know ingly as a family medicine, for it has been our best friend in many hour or sickness. We j wish all to try this remedy and satisfy them ! selves. — York Gazelle. i i (ST W hat has I m proved you so in appearance I—Wood’s Ilair Re j storative. What has given you such a youthful jlook?
