ROmish Violation Oflhe Sanc,ily Of


Such is the title of an article in the
Morning Star, giving in detail the facts
OF a case, which occurred iii Cincinnati
forcibly exhibiting the working Of po-
perry III our land, and the interference
OF one of its highest prelates with the
domestic relation. Ifsuch things can
be done in this country, so little under
Its controls we may we'll conceive the
intolerable oppression the hapless citi-
zens must endure in countries in which
1t has full sway. The facts we con-
dense from the narrative.
Mr.. Sherwood was married twelve
years ago by Romish priest, to no.
ninal Romanist lady. The effort was
made to induce him to consent that his
offspring should be brought up in the
Romish faith. This, being staunch
Protestant, lie refused to do. The la
dy soon after became member of the
Episcopal church, and the parties lived
harmoniously together until about %
year ago, when her sister, o bigotcd
Romanist, made her visit. She sue
ceedcd in winning her back to the Ro-
mish faith. After making an effort TO
bias the minds Of her children, and be-
ing firmly resisted by her husband,
she agreed to leave their religious trai-
ming in his hands. The Romish priests
would not permit her to remain in the
church, if she could not secure the ed
ucation of her children in the Romish
church. This being impracticablc, she
was persuaded to leave her husband,
on the plea of i'll usage, and take the
children with her. For months after
their disappearance, Mr.. S. was una
bic to discover any trace ofthem. At
length he found her and the children
in a state of ofdestitution in Paris France,
and she most gladly and gratefully
returned to her husband.
On her departure, card appeared
in one of the papers, alleging that she
had fed from her husband on account
Of harsh treatment. Mrs. S. states
that she did not write the card, did not
wish Unpublished, and signed it through
coersion. Mr.. S. believes that this
card was written by Archbishop Pur-
cell, who was throughout the whole af,
fair her adviser and guide. Mrs. S.
states that it was by his advice she left
her husband. lie admits "that he
gave her letters that might procure
friends for her among strangers. 1t
was by aid Of these letters that she was
secrcted in a nunncry in Montreal un.
til she sailed for Europe, and was cna.
bied to secure a secluded and almost
impenetrablo retreat at Paris. Truly
it Romish prelates are permitted with
Iimpunity to interfere in our domestic
relations, and violate the sanctty OF
the domestic hearth, our boasted rcli-
gious liberty is comparatively worth.
less.--Rcl. Herald.

The Daily Times is skeptical on the
sabject of Garroting. 1t says:--"No-

lofce quietly plvouacklng IN the Island
Fort About miduight the moon arose
and although Chinese soldiers might
be seen hurrying to and from the
Square Fort, not 600 yards opposite,
at A A. NJ. on Saturday morning all
hands were called, after few hours
Irepose on the cold granite floors ofthe
fort, and the separate divisions were
ordered quietly into their respective
boats. All preparations were made
for the attack blythe dawn of day; three
howitzers, with their crews and ammu-
milton, were stationed in the forts on
the northern side commanding the
Square Fort, and at Oh 45m. the boats
pushed off. As they opened out from
the fort, the order was given to fire, &
under cover of the three howtzers, =
which kept up "a whitening fire of shrap-
mel upon the opposite fort, intoits cen
tire, through the port holes, and upon
the retreating troops, the boats touch
/ ed the opposite shore, after having been
exposed to the raking fire of eight guns
loaded with round shot and grape, and
in Is minutes from the embarkation
the fowry flag was upon the ramparts
of their last stronghold.
"Although it was perfect shower
of grape over, about, and aronnd them,
the boats escaped without injury Of a
man wounded. The Island Fort kept
up fire upon the retreating Celestials
untilthey were out of reach; and, altho
they rallied once or twice, s. honorcd
the victors with shower of rockets,
the advance howitzers drove them back
several miles under cover of the villa
ges in the eastern suburbs Of Canton.
The rest of the day was occupied in the
destruction of the two last captured
forts; and it is to be hoped that ere the
ships withdraw they will raae them to
the ground. They were defended by
guns of enormous calibre---say from 8
to 10 inches; and the labor of destroy
ing them in earnest cannot well be con.
ccived. There were. Guns.

MEDICINESs
Hurley's SarsapariIla!
AF ALL the remedies that have been dscov-
" cred during the present age for the s.thousand
ills that flesh is heir to-" none equal this wonderful
preparation. Only three years have elapsed since
the discovercr (who spent a decade in studying cx
permentalizing and perfecting i) first introducing
it to the public, and it is already recognized by the
most eminent physicians in all parts of the country
to be the most surprising and effective remedy for
certain diseases of which they have knowledge.
All other compounds syrnps of the root have
hitherto failed to command the sanction of the fac
ulty because, being tested, they have been found
to contain noxious ingredients, which neutralized
the good effects of the Sarsaparilla, and otentimes
inure the health of the patient 1t is not SO with
Hurley's preparation. .rz.---e-
This is the pure and genuine extract of the root
and will on trial, be found to effect certain and
perfect cure of the following complaints and dis
cases: -.fr.
Affection of the Bones,
Habitual Costiveness,
Debility, Indigestion,
Diseases of Kidneys,
Liver Complaints,
Dyspepsia, Piles,
Erysypilas,
Pulmonary Diseases,
Scrofula, Fistula,
Female Irregularities,
Syphilis,
And all Skin Diseases.
Besides curing the above, it is also known to be a
great and powerful tonic, purifying the blood and
invigorating the system.
In short is without exception, in the cases men
toned and its general effect the system the most
eflicacious, and it is the most desirable remedy OF
the age It's already extensively used throughout
the country, and is fast obtaining European repu-
tltion. The instances of cure il hls effected are
daily coming to the proprietors knowledge, and he
has no hesitation in recommending it to one and all
who desire to procure relief from suffering. One
bottle being tried its effects will be too apparent to
admit of further doubt
