IN Wise county, another in Cook, and another
raised IN Parker the 3lst ut., SAYS our inform
an. Inc citizens subscribing flour, meal and
olhGr provisions, literally. That paper says 'dc-
Pleuatlohs continue to be committed throughout the
fonller counties to such an extent that the people
cannot await the tardy and uncertain process of
government protection; they are determined to
protecr@' emselves."
From -'RT!ERN MEXIco-The Southern mail
brings Of Of all points as late due. The
news. The seaG On government of TamorIiros has
been moved to Matamoras Another victory had
been gained by the Constituencies under General
Blanco, at San Juan de los Lagos. Blanca took
one hundred prisoners and the camp couipaue of
his opponents and priest. The specie heretofore
shipped at Tampico is now coming to Brownsville.
The American Consul at Monterey Mr.. Walsh
is reported to have closed his office and placed
the archives in the care of the British Consul
The State of Tamaulipas has n considerable force
in the field under Carvaal and others. General
Cara and staff had arrived at MatamoraS, where
they were welcomed by salutcs and public maniics-
tations. This news from the city of Mexico is
couraging to the liberal party. General Vidaurri,
in an address to the capitalists of Monterey SAYS he
has arms and ammunition valued at 100000 in
Brownsville, and asks loan for six months to pay
for them. An express from Monterey states that
General Xuazua was progressing finely. There were
rumors that the Zuloaga faction had made over
lures Tor peace.
BISHOP McILYAIN.
The Western Episcopaliot states that the health
OF Bishop Mcllvain is such to give much concern
to his friends. While presiding at Il recentco nven-
tion says the above-named paper, 'hc rose and
stated in substance, that very peculiar sensation
had come over him, accompanied by remarkable
lapse of memory. He desired the business to pro
coed, called Rev. Dr. Burr to the chair, and retired
In about half an hour he came back, resumed his
post, but it was some time before he could readily
call the names of members wishing to address the
house. He had similar attack while recently at
the East, and while going home from church ON
Sunday he had another. He did not return to the
church in the afternoon, but there Mt night and
spoke with remarkable clcarncSs and energy. At
ter church, he replied chccrfully to all Inquiries
about his health and expressed himself feeling
in way uncomfortable. lie rested well that
night and left Newark next day in apparently good
health. There may be nothing very seriously
threatening in what the Bishop has lately expert
enced, but the repeated attacks, and the knowledge
that other members of his family have suddenly
been called away, have filled his friends with pain
full apprehensions, and should cause the prayers of
the faithful everywhere to ascend that the life and
usefulness of so valuable may be prolonged
to the church militant"
The HABrrUAL Use or SPrRIrs.-Thc British and
Foreign Ncdico ChiIrgicUl Rcriclr shows that the
habitual use of spirits arrests that meamophosis of
tissue which is necessary for health, leaving the
effete tissue Il useless burden in the BODY to be
converted into that least vtazcd of all the organic
constituents oil, and fat, till finally life itself is
cloggcd at the fountain head. Thousands OF men,
according to the Rerie,o, who have never been me
briated, annually perish having shortened their
lives by tipping little every day. The dram
arrests the metamorphoss of tissue: another
dram is taken before this arrest ceases the reaction
thus postponed, becomes more intense; the dcpres-
sion is excessive: more drains taken and so, in
the end, without ever having been intoxicated, the
tippler sinks into his grave, the victim of ardent
spirits. 1t is different with the man who drinks
wine, for wine is rarely used except at meals,
that the effects have time to pass away before Sc
cond dose becomes due, and hence no craving for
an increased quantity is experienced. Men
living in consequence, in robust old age, who have
taken the same identical number of glasses Of wine
daily for half century without feeling it necessary
to increase the quantity.

been much discussed of latc--is now on its way to
