Having lately had the honor to hear the
relation of an apparition from the Lord
Bishop of Gloucester, and It being too lute
for ma to insert it in the proper place in
the bonk, I give it to you here by
way of postscript as follows :
"Sir Charles Lee, by his first lady, had
only one daughter, of which she died in
childbirth ; and, when she whs dead, her
sister, the Lady Evcrard, desired to have
the education of the child : and ho was
by her very well educated, till she was mur
riageiilila ; and a match was concluded for
her Willi bir V illiam IVrkius, but was
then prevented In aa extraordinary mutt
ner. Upon a Thursday night, she, think
ing she saw a light In the chamber after
she was in bed, knocked for her maid who
presently came to her, nnd she asked her
why she left a candle burning in Iter cham
ber. The maid said she left none, and
there wus none but what she brought with
her at the tints. Then she said it was the
fire ; hut thitt her maid told her, was quite
out, and said she believed it was only a
dreum ; whereupon she said it might be
so, and composed herself again to sleep.
But about two 0 clock she was awukeaed
again, and saw tho apparition of a little
woman between her curiam aud Iter pillow,
who told her she was Iter mother, she was
happy and by twelve o'clock that day she
would be with her. Whereupon she ugniu
knocked for Iter maid, culled for clothes,
and, when she was dressed, went into her
clofiet, and came not out again till nine,
and then brought out with hern letter seal
ed to her father, brought it to her aunt, the
Lady Everurd, told her what hud happen
ed, and desired that, as soon as she was
dead, it might be sent to him. lint the In
ly thought she was suddenly fullen mad,
and thereupon, sent preretttly uwny to
Chclmslord for a physician and surgeon,
who both rami) Immediately ; but tho phy
sician could discern no indication of what
tint lady imagined, or of any imliposit on
of her body. Notwithstanding the lady
would needs have let her ulaixi, winch was
done accordingly. And when the young
woman had patiently litlr.nn do what
they would with her, sho desired that the
chaplain might be culled to read prayers ;
nnd when the prayers were ended she took
her guitar and psalm book and sat down
npon a chair without arms and played nnd
sung so melodiously and admirably that In r
mnsic master, who was then tie re, admin d
at it. And near tho stroke of twelve she
rose, and sat herself down iu a trrent chair
with arms, and presently f tehii g a stronu
brcnthing or two, inimediat ly 1 xp rod ; and
was so suddenly cold as was much wonder
ed nt by the physician and surgeon. She ti ed
at Waltham, in Essex, three miles from
Chelmord ; and the letter wits scut to
Sir Charles, nt his house in Warwickshire:
but he was so afflicted with the death of
his daughter, that he came not till she was
buried; but when he came, caused her to
he taken tip and buried by her mother at
Edmiuton, as she desired in her letter
This was about the year ICG'2 or 16G3.
Ami that relation the Lord Bishop of
Gloucester bad from Sir Uiarh s uimself.
Haw la eaaalracl Cider Utters.
Cider will one day bo a stup e of Ore
gon. If it can be made to take the place
of strychnine whiskey, it will effect on im
provement in morals as it will certainly ex
hibit an improvement in taste. Onr fruit
ia perfect and the best article can be made
of it. Last year Oregon cider brought
high prices in San Francisco. To make
the best article, the cider should be filtered.
The following is the manner of making the
filter used in somo parts of Xew Jtrsey :
"Take a square or round wooden box,
made of one inch pine plank, well braced,
three in diameter and one foot lour inches
deep. Make it with a bottom perforated
with numerous quarter inch anger boles,
over which should ha luid course hemp
bagging. Now fill in the box for eight
inches, with pieces of charcoal (animal or
bone charcoal iu best but it is expensive,)
iibnnt nut size and on tho ton of this n!ace
a four inch layer ol clean washed sand, ami
eover all with a co irse hemp hagjring, and
you have a cheap and good filter."
Any number of such filters may be us
ed, occording to tho quantity o( cider to
be operated upon, and the top cloth can
be frequently washed, without disturbing
the sand and charcoal. Before running a
ny cider through, pass a stream of clear
water into the filter for fifteen minutes, so
as to remove any fine articles of the char
coal that otherwise would be mixed with
the cider.
rfetakle Oyster ar Matttfy.
This excellent vegetable is rarely culti
vated by onr farmers. It is very easily
grown. It can be cullivuted as parsnips,
and like them can remain in the ground all
winter, and you can take them op aa you
want to ne them. They are about the
sizo of small pnrsnips. When cooked,
they have the flavor of oyster.
These are the best mode of cooking this
vegetahle :
"Commence cooking the vegetuble oys
ter in October. Scrape them and split
them into thin sin ; boil them tender in
milk and water, sonson then well with pep
per, butter and salt ; make a nice toast,
moistened in the gravy laid in tho bottom
of the dish, and poor the whole over it.
There should be but a suitable quantity of
gravy. Too much lessens the flavor.
Cooked tlms, yoa scarcely detect the diff
erence from trne oysters. Some prefer the
following mode of cook ng them: Cot np
tU rows, chop tlicm fine1, fmrboil and fry
in batter. Others prefer, to boil the rots
tender, aud fry them whale in batter. Io,
either way tbey toakt capital dish.' '

HVMM.t&Y AsVftt'.LKH.
Wa hare received tho first number of
the Waihhiulon Standard, published at
Olympin, Washington Territory, by Jons
M. Mntrnv, Esq. It it a large paper,
printed on new typo, and looks well. Its
editorials have the ring of the true metal.
For the first time, a republican paper has
been published iu Washington Territory.
All the patronage and power of the admin
istration lias been used to crush out repub
licanism from tliut territory. The Inter
ests of the masses of the peopl 0 of Wash
ington Territory should make them repub
licans. They ore for free labor, free press,
free speech and for free homesteads. We
nro glad to see the Republican Standard
flontiag from its position at Olympia.
"Long may it wave!"
Acting Governor McGill, of Washing
ion Terrritary, has issued his proclamation,
inviting the people of that Territory, to ob
serve the 29th of November as "a day of
Thanksgiving and Praise to Almighty
God," for tho blessings bestowed npon us
aa a natien and as individuals the past
year. Ho ittvitts the people of the terri
tory to "joiu with our fellow citizens thro'
out tho Union in thanks to Almighty God
for the favors bestowed upon us in the past,
nnd that our united prayers may ascend to
Him, that lie may coutiuuo to bless
our great republic aud vouchsafe to its
people union, health, peace and prosperity
iu all time to come."
Nullum Olnry, iu a communicatioa in
the Mountaineer gives it us his opinion that
the Indians East ol tho Curcade Moun
tains ure forming a combination to drive
off the settlers cast of the Cascades, both
north and south of tho Columbia river. An
influential Prophet has arisen, who tells
the Indians that he has received a commu
nication from the Great Spirit, who informs
him that he made the couutry for the In
dians, and not for tho whits man, tliut it
displeases him to see the white man cutting
down the trees and turning up the soil
which was never designed for his use, aud
that he will give them power to retake, the
country from the whites, who will ren
der them as helpless as children in the
h inds of the Indians." Mr. Ol.iey thinks
thero is great danger of an Indian out
break. A harriblo murder was committed on
Wednesday of lust week near Suuvie's
Island. Mr. Brady, his wife, and an Ital
ian uainud Julian, were ou a flat bout go
ing to the Island. Julian purposely got
into a quarrel with Brady, drew a knife,
stubbed and killed him, robbed him of his
wallet, jumped on shoro and escaped. Jul
ian wus afterwards seen iu Portland.
Thomas Ryan was killed at the Dalles
on Monday night of last week. Ho was
said to be a had Culiforniun, and flourished
his knife to the great fear and dungor of
the citizens of that place: After empty
ing two bar-roouiSjin quick succession, Mr.
Jledrick, deputy sheriff, attempted to ar
rest him ; but Ryan flew at Itim with a
knife. Threo shots brought Ryan down.
It would not be a bud piece of economy
and convenience if a Coroner's Jury could
be kept constantly in scssiou at tho Dulles.
Somebody has attempted to apologize
for the militury, in the Mountaineer, for
their failure to protect the emigrants 011
the Suako river route. Certain facts are
known : that government have troops in
ubundunce here to protect the emigrants in
coming through a country infested by hos
tile Indians ; that it was their duty to give
the emigrants such protection ; that they
did not do it ; and the result has been
that men, women and children, who de
s'gncd to mako this vullcy their home.have
been murdered by the Indians, and several
small children, if not murdered, aro in
their possession as prisoners the girls re
served for a purpose worse than death.
Wa hear that application has been made
by some of our citizens to tho Governor of
this State, for liberty to raise a company of
men for tho purposa of visiting the haunts
of the Snake river Indians, and obtain
ing from them the white prisoners in their
possession. The company would go well
armed aud sufficiently strong to prevent
disaster. This entcrprize will be got
tip immediately after the necessary author
ity is given by tho Governor.
Tho Oregcmian says that Uniicd States'
officers and soldiers voted in TJmqua
county. We have arrived at a pretty state
of things if United Stales' troops can bo
sent round the country to vote at elections.
We hesitate not to say that officers who
vote at elections in violation of law, .de
serve to be dismissed from positions they
disgrace.
The Olynpia Pioneer and Democrat has
raised its voice in condemnation of the
