TcorH DRAWING TEST OF Cors-
AeE.-Many who would be ralian, in
battle, turn pale at the sight Of the dent
lists chair. To stand up TO be shot attn a
duel is unpleasant to the nerves, and TO
storm a breach requires considerable
modicum Of determination; but 10 pull
the dentists bell and not to run away
to walk boldly in and not to request
a postponemcnt, though it gains one
no laurels and probably would not
help TO secure political nomination
on the score Of heroism, is pure una
dulterated valor-intrinsic; deriving
no aid from association or example
nothing from the instinct of discipline
or the thirst for glory. In encounter
ing other dangers, there is a large
hope, too, Of immunity. An expecta-
ton Of survival fond trust to be
with the unhurt, always exists. But
here in that morocco throne, SO gro
tesque, so mystical, so strange in all its
aspects-your mouth wide open and
your head thrown back-what hope
can there be- To be hurt is an inev-
liable thing. We are in the clutches
Of fate and must realize our mortal
frailty, To march to this with whis-
tle-nei,her to kick the smaller dogs
on our route, nor TO thrust little chill
drcn aside spitefully; to take our usual
interest in the occurrance ofthe street
as we pass along 10 execution-to
laugh, to jest, TO talk Of the weather
with the identicle man as he rattles bis
glttering instruments and smiles upon
their brightness-to shake hands with
him and 10 make to!erable pretence
Of being glad TO see him, is an effort
though we may have never encounter

and. a, the presen, Session. the northern Dele.

was 10 tie case Of Bishop Andrew. slave

ing il to be the sense Of the Conference that he
should cease TO exercise the functions Of his Of

should exist. After an exciting discussion Of
two weeks, the resolution was adopted by a

THE GREAT FIRE.

We have little 10 alter and little TO
add TO our statement, made on Sunday,
Of the terrible and disastrous conhagra-
ton which laid almost an entire ward
in ashes on Saturday. Our account OF
the number Of buildings destroyed was
nearly correct, falling but little short OF
three hundred
The number of persons left house
less by this appalling calamity is prob
ably over t,co thousand, the greater
portion of them hardworking, indus
trious people. Many of them lost
their all; and although that all was OF
comparatively slight value, still they
have no means Of replacing their scanty
articles Of household use. consequently
they must feel the bitter deprivation
even more than those who may have
los, athousand fold more and still pos
sess wherewith to begin the world a
fresh. The distress Of these honest
and industrious uurortunates cry aloud
for aid-and which cannot too soon be
bestowed.
The Bee and other papers Of yester-
day contain long lists Of the sufferers,
but nothing like the actual number has
been given. A column cf solid names
would hardly comprise the whole OF
them, and we cannot, therefore, under
take an enumeration. !, is reported
that little girl, some six years Of age,
was buried beneath the fallen ruins OF
a house in jackson street and hdrnt TO
death. IL is certainly wonder, with
such rspidity did the flames leap
from house to house, that many lives
were not lost. The entire loss oiprop-
erty is estimated as being in the neigh
bOrhood OF $4,000 -[Pie,
