A bold but beautiful figure During the
delivery of a sermon last Sunday, in St.
Patrick's Catholic Church in this city, says
the Washington Union, the eyes of the
congregation were suddenly riveted upon
the speaker, Rev. Francis x Boyle, by
what, for the moment seemed to be di
erosion to the alI-absorbing topic of con-
versation and conjecture throughout the
civilized world-the Atlantic Telegraph.
The eloquent divine spoke in terms ofgIow-
ing panegyric of this wonderful triumph
Of human science, and dilated upon the re-
volutions which the grand achievement
will accomplish in the commercial, polite
al and social condition of the two hemis-
pheres thus successfully united by means
of the electric wire. What is it, after all,
exclaimed the speaker, when compared
with the instantaneous communication be-
tween the Throne of Divine Grace and the
heart of man2 Offer up your silent petit
ton for grace. It is transmitted through
realms of unmeasured space more rapidly
than the lightning's fash, and the answer
reaches the soul ere the prayer has died
away on the sinners lips. Yet this tele-
graph, performing its saving functions
ever since Christ died for us on Calvary.

shouts Of gladness with iluminations and
bonfres, and the booming Of cannon. The

and may produce wonderful revolutions
on earth; the other is the sweet commu-

fourteen years, adding honor to the State
Judiciary at home, and his decisions in
law respected abroad Notwithstanding
the great desire some Of bis friends have

naming on the Bench. Now that the

A CASE OF YELLow FEyER IN WOoDvnLE
We are truly sorry to announce to our
country friends that this dreaded scourge
has made its appearance in our midst;
bat, as a faithful journalist, we deem it a
duty we owe to the public to chronicle the
fact, however much it may operate against
the interest Of the business class Of our
community, that all may be on their guard
1t was brought here by an Irish passen-
ger who arrived on the Railroad train a
few days since, and who fell victim to
its f@tid virulence on Sunday evening
last. There can be no mistake as to the
death of this man being caused by the yell
low fever, as we are credibly informed
that eminent physicians held post morton
Of the body, and have unani-
mously declared that such was the case. =
We had induIged the hope, and, up to the
time Of our last issue. firmly believed that
we would escape its visitation this year;
but, in this, we have been sadly disap-
pointed.
The unexpected announcement ola fatal
case of yellow fever here, has created
great CONSERVATION among those of our
citizens who have never had it. 0ne-half
of the population are in the utmost trepi-
dalton, and SO great is the alarm that they
are deserving the town by scores. We
have not ascertained the opinion Of our
physicians upon the subject, but serious
approximations are entertained by some
that this fearful malady viii spread. We
can but fervently trust, however, that
such will not be the case.
UPON the InnaDftahrs or me prade enc
cessity of observing the utmost cleanliness
about their premises The obligation is
an imperative one, for too much vigilence
and precaution cannot be exercised at this
critical moment.
