Mahomet m Ohio. — We have seen a letter from

 (iscovered somewhere in New York, a new 

 elation, hidden under a stone, which enables them 

 work miracles such as our Saviour did while on 

 th : the delusion and frenzy with which these in- 

 idunls have wrought up the public mind, enabled 

 m to collect, in two small villages, something like 

 hundred adherents, who follow those ignorant 

 deluded men, with the same submission, that 

 leep are led to the slaughter.' — .Mass. Jour.
