Wantasiique, Hall, on Thursday evening of next
week. 1t IS privately whispered that the Fair

profusion of beautiful articles. Poor and rusty
old bachelors, it is said, will find there, at the
compassionate hands Of the fair sex, wherewith
al to repcnish their dilapidated toilets, and per.
chance billetdoux with still stronger evidence
of sympathy and compassion for their lonely
wretchedness.

ATROCITIES OF WAR.--A small town, which
recently gave suecor to the Hungarians, has, by
the order Of General Haynau, been burnt TO
ashes, as a deliberate punishment Of the inhabt-
ants. At Vienna young soldier has been shot
for circulating Unauthorized news from the ar
my, and for speaking slightly Of the rewards dis
tribuled to the military, whereby, il was infer
red, he wished to incile his comrades TO desert.
A political missionary, who was striving to excite
the population Of small town in favor Of Kos
suth, was arrested by the magistrate, and bis
tongue cut out.
Some estimate Of the heartless and barbarous
character Of Austrian warfare may be formed
from the single fact that ten capital cities have
been bombarded by Austrian Generals, since
March, isiS. These are Milan, Venice, Pesth,
Prague, Cracow, Arad, Brescia, Lemberg, An
coma, and Vienna. No mode Of warfare can be
regarded as more execrable and barbarous than
the bombardment Of cities. II is one in which
acknowledgements suffer more, often, than those
actively engaged. The aged, the sick, and the
helpless perish from the missiles or the flames
kindled by their explosion. Thousands more oil
the innocent and unoirendiug are doomed 10
poverty and perhaps death as certain, though
moro slow, in consequence. In Pcsth alone the
amount Of private property destroyed was more
than five millions Of dollars

CoNFoRr Of DYING RIcH."-The Cincin-
natl papers record some singular facts connect
ed with an old beggar woman named Elizabeth
hlorelock, whose death lately occurred in that
city. She died in the night, and in the evening
the bed, her idiot daughter, hideous hunch-
back, being the only attendant--thougb, during
part of the time, physician was present. The
old woman opened her eyes, and perceiving the
burning candle, ordered it 10 be blown out, say
ing that she could not afford TO pay for it. When
first taken sick, she ordered u strong chest which
after her death was found to contain $4,000 in
gold, to DO placed beside her bed, She kept it
within reach Of her arms during the whole Of
her sickness; and when the deaih-strugge came
on, and she was told that she must die, she flung
herself upon the chest, and cawed at il, in her
wild avaricious frenzy, until she tore the very
nails from her fingers, and thus, embracing the
ill-gotien treasure, her spirit took its fight.

MODEL ov ANCIENT JERusALEM.-we
have been so highly gratifed by an inspection Of
this Model, that we consider the Recommendation
of it to our citizens an acceptable service to
them. The Model exhibits Jerusalem as it was
in the time Of our Saviour, with all its palaces,
castles, and walls, and with the Temple as il
then appeared The surrounding country, also,
connected with the incidents of the Saviours
life, are presented in their relative proportions,
and the whole accompanied with interesting
variations Of the events occurring from the
birth of Christ TO the destruction of Jerusalem.
Those interested in Bible History will examine
this Model with great interest and profit, and we
hope our citizens generally, and especially Sun
day School Scholars, will avail themselves of an
opportunity that may never again occur to see
the scenes of the life and sufferings Of Him who
died to redeem fallen world. The Model will
be exhibited, as we learn, on this Thursday at.
ternoon, at O'Clock, and in the evening at 8.

Mr. G. Watson's house, Warren street, Roxbury.

he wanted lodging He was informed that he
could be accommodated down the street; but
he refused to go away, and continued to ring
the bell. Mr. Watson called his neighbor, Mr.

intent was robbery .-Boston Courier 6th.

BLESSINGS OF PEAcE.--In abiding to tho

ave love Peace, aud trust the day is not dis

is the condition Of Progress Of Humanity, of
Morality. In Peace, cities and villages are built
or enlarged; in Peace, the Useful Arts advance,
Invention is rapid, and Husbandry is perfected I;
in Peace, men become industrious, humane, re-
ligious; in Peace, ships are built, and the remo.-
cst oceans, the most inhospitabe coasts, arc ran
sacked for whatever may contribute TO the COM
fort, the enjoyment or the instruction Of Man
in Peace, population increases, and the cattle
upon a thousand hills proclaim the benehcence
Of the Father of All. War changes all this, sub
sttuting therefor plains Of ashes biseeted with
rivers Of blood. Forever exccratcd be he whom
any such impulse as Ambition or Ava-ice, Do.

War, and imbrue his hands in guiltless human
gore The Ruler or General who, for the sake
Of annexing province or winning name, does

National Fast.

We learn from oil quarters that the dsy was
generally and appropriately observed. In Bos-
ton, says the Atlas, "all the places Of business
were closed during the whole day !" and the
ssme may be said Of all places from which ex-
change papers reach us. In this place it was
observed by religious services in all the places
of public worship. AD impressive address was
delivered in one Of the churches by Professor
Stowe, of Lane Seminary, Cincinnati, to which
circumstances gave peculiar interest In his
own family, remaining at Cincinnati, the cholera
had found a victim. and other members of it
were dangerously sick Of the same disease. He
stated that a neghboFing family, consisting Of
several persons, had been entirely swept away,
leaving not single survivor. He resided in
Cincinnati at the time OF the previous visitation
Of the cholera, and described in vivid colors the
terr,r, dismAy and death which filed the whole
city, and related many touching incidents. In
the Seminary in which be was engaged, tbcrs
w.. .. 6--s two taken down, the next day
some eight or ten. and the neat ,hiHy-six. OF
these about one-half died in a few hours after
the attack. In one instance, a student Of robust
health, with whom he converted at A. NJ, was
suddenly attacked. He visited him early in the
afternoon and could not recognize his pupil,-for
il IS characteristic Of this disease to destroy
every feature Of the face. The young man soon
after died.
In another case lady set out 10 make a
morning call upon friend. On inquiry at the
door she was informed that her friend had died
at O'Clock the same morning. The lady turn
ed home, siekeaed Immediately. and before night
was herself a corpse The Rev. Professor stated
this TO be the effect of sympathy, and surprised
US BY the declaration that this sentiment was
quite as common predisposing cause of cholera
As fear.
lie stated that when the cholera frst appeared,
there would be seen the funeral hearse passing
at almost every hour Of the day. 1t continued
TO increase in frequency. Then the hearse ap-
peared with two collins and with few mourn
ers. A little later it was loaded with collins, and
was driven more rapidly. Soon afterwards cot.
fms passed in carts and wagons, and instead
Of mourners, a load Of laborers with shoveis.
The carts were loaded down with the dead, and
were driven rapidly through the deserted streets.
1t came at length to such pitch of terror aud
alright, that the common relations of society
were sundered, collins could no, be furnished
for the dead, they were crammed into barrels and
bOxes-thrown without covering into the grave.
30 dreadful was the mortality and terror at
length, that the living could not bury the dead,
and they wero cast down and left uncoAined
and uninlerred.

Some idea Of the fatality Of the pestilsuce at
Cincinnati the present season may be gathered
from the following extract Of private letter by
resident Of the city, dated July Ii:
The cholera has visited Cincinnati with terri.
bic severity. The official reports of interments
for the four weeks ending yesterday show an
aggregate of 3i99, Of which 1927 are reported
as cholera, and 972 other diseases. Il il believ-
ed that the proportion of the former 10 the lat
ter is, in fact, larger.
The largest proportion of the deaths thus FAR
have been among the foreign population. Near
ly three-fourlhs Of all the interments as well Of
other diseases as cholera, have been in six Ger.
man and Irish cemeteries Yet the population
Of those classes is probably about forty per cent.
Of the whole. Hence you will see the mortality
among the foreign born has been more than four
times as great in proportion to numbers.
The reasons for this difference are found in
the fact that this population is crowded into poor,
i'll ventilated, damp dwellings; in their inordi-
nate consumption Of stale, or unWholesoms veg
etables, the refuse of the markets; their use 10
greater or less extent Of unwholesome and in
toxicating beverages, beer, Rhine wine and spir-
its, and in the want Of cleanliness in their per
sons and dwellings. These violations Of the laws
of health have been most fearfuly punished.
But in its progress here the disease has set all
theories, all precautions, all modes OF treatment
at naught II il has riolcd in the squalid abode
Of poverty and intemperance, It has visited the
airy mansion, and found victims there Also The
individual whom you would perhaps select as
most likely to be exempt from attack, has been
stricken down in some instances In one case
il yields to medical treatment without difficulty /;
in another the most powerful agents arc inefi-
cient. Yesterday, after few hours Of sickness,
one of our most estimAhle clergvmen died. the

The philadelphia Pennsyioaniaa says,
that the National Whig, Is not identified
with the fortunes Of the Administration.
That's queer assertion for respectable
Journal to make, when il is known to the
whole country, that the National Wing was
founded for the express purpose OF adVoca-
TING the nomination Of Gen. TAYLOR by the
Wing PARTY, and that, had il not been for
the existence Of that Journal at the seat Of
government, the old Hero would never have
received that nomination The National
Whiq not identified with the Administration
1t owed its life to the gallant old soldier,
whose fortunes it was founded to es-
pouse, when only FIVE men were found in
this whole city who had the sagacty to fore
see whst has happened, two Of whom, the
Editor and publisher Of this paper, pu, their
shoulders to the VII eel, without scrip or purse,
to bring about what they believed would
happen and determined should happen, SO
far as in them lay It was wounded SO des-
perately in the contest, that its life was des-
paired Of for whole year, but it has risen
up with the good fortunes Of him who strobe
from his battle fields to the White House,
and By Gods help, while we can WELD a
pen, il shall defend his Administration against
the assaults Of any party that shall presume
to attack it 1t can never be beaten to
the earth again, unless it falls with the Ad-
ninistration with whose fortunes It is indis-
soubly bound up The Pennsyipdnian and
all other journals opposed to us, would do
well to digest the above at their leisure
