Antiquarian Discovery.—Three mummies, purchased by the Mormons, upon being examined by Joe Smith, the prophet, have been discovered to be no less than the bodies of Joseph, the son of Jacob, and King Abimelech and his daughter. With these wonderful curiosities, those vagrants intend travelling about the country to astonish the wondering multitude by a sight of those well determined personages.

This is surely an age of humbugging. There have been a number of ages of the world—the leaden, iron, silver, gold, and brass, and we all know not how many more, but the present excels all for its gullibility. The credulity of man is monstrous. He is prepared to believe the most absurd deceptions that the mind can conceive, if they be presented to him under a religious garb. Was there ever any thing more preposterous than the stories of the Mormons—unless, indeed, we except the pretensions of the notorious Matthias? Yet there are many men, who in some respects appear like well informed persons, that are prepared to sacrifice business, property and reputation, in witness of their confidence in the golden bible doctrines.—Chronicle.
