John G. Adams.—This locomotive eccentricity is now, according to the Chicago Journal, a leader in a colony of some 600 Mormons, who have located on Beaver Island, at the head of Lake Michigan. They are getting up a Temple, some portions of which are finished and now used, on week days, as a theater, where J. G. A. relieves himself occasionally as "Claude Melnotte," "Duke of Gloster," &c. On Sundays the Temple will be devoted to very different purposes—a change of charaters but not of actors.
