Exhibition Extraordinary

At Washington Hall

Commencing Thursday Evening, Dec. 9th.

For Three Evenings Only.

Great Mormon Temple at Nauvoo--its Secret Chambers, Fearful Conspiracies, Mysterious Costumes, &c., illustrated by over 1000 square feet of Illuminated Paintings by an eminent Artist from Europe, taken on the spot at the risk of assassination.

Awful disclosure of Treason, Conspiracy and Blood--Rise of the Indian Nation, headed by the notorious Brigham Young and his deluded followers--50,000 Mormons are now solemnly sworn to imbrue their hands in our Blod, and that of our Children. This exhibition has been visited by over 20,000 people in the city of New York, together with the Mayor and Common Council and most of the principle Clergy of all denominations in the city. The Spiritual Wife Doctrine will also be freely illustrated and explained as held by that singular sect, &c. The lovers of the marvellous can be fully satisfied, while to the philanthropist and christian it is of the deepest interest.

At the close of the endowments, will be exhibited the horrid murder of the Mormon Prophet by an infuriated mob of 200 persons in disguise--The Village and Jail at Carthage, &c., covering a number of feet of canvass.
