wholly inexplicable and excited
great apprehension. On Sunday,

his return home, ami gave the fol
lowing account of his absence:
lie came to Cincinnati, Satur

acted some business and received
a small sum of 'money. On Sun
day morning. August 30, after
breakfast he set out for home on
horseback. On the hill road to

miles from Cincinnati, at a con

from his horse by two foot men
whom he had just passed. His
horse was turned loose ami him

forced by threats of instant death;
his money, about $100, was tak
en from him, with inquiries iudicar

in the person seized and in the
amount of his money. lie was
detained all day blindfolded, and
at right conducted, in the same
condition, to the river, where he

Ih athm Temples on Lake Erie.
That bold-faced impostor, Joe
Smith, ol'Goldm Bible and Mor

fanatic followers to erect on the
shores of Lake Erie, near Pains
ville, (Ohio) a stone building 5S
by 7S feet, with dormer window,
denominating the same ihe "Tem
ple of the Lord." We should
think this work of iniquity extoll
ed out of the pockets of his duptfs,
as it reflects its shadows over the
blue lake, would make the waters
crimson with shame at the prosti
tution of its beautiful banks to
such unhallowed purposes.
