Trinity Church has at length been the scene of a miracle, says the S'an Francisco News-Letter. “On Wednesday last, crowds of eager believers were witnesses of the graceful flight of a pretty, mysterious white bird around and around the spire. The crowd was awe-strncK. Bishop Kip and Professor Silliman were instantly sent for, to witness what could be nothing less than the miraculous descent of the Holy Dove. The crowd thickened, Bishop Kip prayed a prayer, and Professor Silliman passed around tlie plate. Paray-le-Menial was cast into the shade by this paying-up-the-monev. At length the sacred bird ceased its evolutions an dsettled on the spire. Looking down at the prostrate crowd of believers—the plaza was quite full—the sacred bird lowered its head, whilst a beautiful aureole was seen to rise above its head, and it spoke ! *lt speaks ! It speaks!’ shouted Kip, turning a somersault in his ecstacy. Once more the sacred bird lowered its head ; once more the golden, glory' rose like the young lettuce arrangement on the head of a cockatoo, and once more it speaks these ever memorable words, ‘Givo Saliva cracker!”’
