account Of the bombardmenta as given by
Mrs Moody, New York lady, Just arrived

The account states as follows:
Soon after the arrival Of the Cgone on
the 18th, there being no Government TO
treat with her commander caused written
demand to be publisbedin French, Spanish
and English requiring The people OF San
Juan TO pay the sum Of S94 900, and make
an apology by A. NJ, next day. Many Of
the wealthiest citizens Of the town were alb
sent; some of them in this city and their
families IN San Juan--and there being no
Government the money demand was not OF
course complied with nor was the apology
furnished and the consequence was the de-
struction OF the entire town together with
all ofthe merchandise and household fur
nture, and the inhabitants, many Of whom
were foreigners, driven to the forrest for
shelter during the death dispensing rainy
season in the tropics.

the Company which was taken down by or

owner of the land was $3.50, and this was

have spoken well, must be demolished after
the fashion of"Indian warfare" With ref

More About the Mystcrious Cask,

received by Priest and taken away. We
give communication which is endorsed by
the Democrat as proceeding from reliable
source
To the Editors Of tie Portage County
Democrat:
a short time since my attention was call
ed to a notice in your paper, respecting
box containing fire arms and bowie knives
which was received at this station and claim
ed and carried away BY Catholic Priest.
When the agent here who is catholic)saw
the notice in your paper after consulting the
Priest and his Catholic brethern he conclu-
ded TO deny the whole affair although the
box was opened in presnce of several indi-
viduaIs. The agent himself was not pres
ent at the opening of the box The box
was claimed and carried away in broad day
! light by a Catholic Priest and since that
time small iron cannon has been received
at the station with tie suspicious marks and
was claimed and carried away by the same
Catholic priest. The box was received and
it is folly for any one TO attempt 10 deny it.
What the object is | am as ignorant as
your readers. Such implements are not
usually used in the worship Of God. What
a minister of Jesus Christ could want with
such article, is question that cannot solve.
The principle portion Of our citizens are
either members of the Catholic Church or
are controlled by Catholic influence and you
will not be surprised to learn that tie no.
tice in your paper caused considerable ex-
ci ement among the faithful.

re- Since our last issue there has been
two deaths by cholera in our town. On
Monday an Irishmsn, laborer on the Rail
road, alb 1ut five miles west, was attacked
very severely and was Immediately brought
here on hand car for medical treatment.
The disease had got too firm a hold, and in
about seven hours after he died. The 9TH
er was child of three months, whose
mother had died Of cholera in Tiffin last
week. There has been two or three cases
pronounced cholera, which yielded to
prompt treatment and they have recovered.
There is no alarm among our citizen, as all
the deaths here have been transient per-
sons. An Irishman who had the cholera
and recovered last week died of congestion
of the brain on Sunday night last. a Ger
man also died on Sunday night from ;nju-
ries received in fall few days previous.
Another death by cholera yesterday after
noon.
The disease has been unusally fatal at
Perrysburg and Tiffin-about rs deaths at
the former and 100 at Tiffin. There has
been o deaths at Maumec city and several
on the pike west of here between Wood
vile and Perrysburg. We have not heard
Of any new cases at Clyde. There has
been couple of deaths at Norwalk within
