A FAMOUS REroRrER.-Mr. VIM Woodfall,
the son of the celebrated printer of the Pub
lie Advertiser, in which the Letters of Junius
first appeared, undertook, without any asss.
tance, the arduous task of reporting the de-
bates of both houses of Parliament, day bv
day, in his fathers paper, and afterwards in
other daily journals. This gentleman .pos-
sessed a most extraordinary memory, as well
as wonderful powers of literary labor Itis
asserted, that he has been known to sit
through long debate in the House of Com
mons, not making single note of the pro-
ceedngs, and afterwards to write full and
faithful account Of what had taken place, ex-
tending to sixteen columns, without allowing
himself an interval of rest. The remarkable
eXcrtions of this most famous reporter gave
the newspapers for which he wrote a cele-
brity which c'mpel d other newspapers to
aim at like fullness and freshness in their
parliamentary reports. What Woodfall ac-
complshed 10y excessive bodily and mental
eXertion, his contemporaries succeeded in
bringing to higher degree of perfection by
the division of labor; and thus, in time, each
morning paper had secured the assistance of
an efficient body of reporters, each of whom
might III turn take notes of debate, and
commit Il portion of it to the press several
hours before the debate was conclu led

The Rev. Mr.. McGILL, Of this city, visited
Ireland at very interesting religious period.
From Belfast papers it appears that the most
extraordinary gathering recorded in the annals
of religious meetings, was held in the Royal
Botanic Gardens, neaE Belfast, on the Goth OF
June, and that the spirit of revival, which has
been 30 wonderfully manifested in that coun.
try, was the immediate occasion of this re-
markable demonstration. The Banner of us
ter enumerates the great congregation present
at from $4,000 to 100000 The proceedings of
the meeting it says were in keeping with its
numerical magnitude in all those features which
render religious gathering solemn and i'm
pressive.
Mayor Lambert, of Brooklyn, N. Y, has re-
Gently returned from a personal inspection of
the great revival in Ireland. At meeting on
tue 27th ult. he stated that it exceeded all his
expectations in the extent of the work, the
crowded state Of the meetings for prayer, the
reforms that followed, and the fact that it en-
braced all classes. lie described the great
weekly Union Prayer Meeting as one of much
power Some 800 persons were present, and
thirty ergymen-Independen Baptist, Epis-
copal, all sects. In addition to this, nightly
prayer meetings are held all over Bristol and all
Ireland. One church sustained fifteen nightly
prayer meetings The hymns sung were the
American revival hymns, and sung to the, tunes
so familiar to Us.
The work has attracted great. attention in
Scotland, so much that the Glasgow Record is
printed to record the mighty work.
Among the fruits of the work as reported by
Mayor Lambert, are:
The reformation Of drunkards; closing up Of
thousands of distilleries and whiskey stores;
changing swearers into men of PRAYER; leading
men BY ores from bad company, bad houses
and bad employment to prayer, praise and
worship, filling the air with sacred melody;
preaching to crowds at the corners of the
streets; filling the tents with multitudes where.
ever they are pitched; making tens of thousand
missionaries Of the Word, and leaving men in
wonder to ask when this work will stop, and
what will be the end of it in the condition of
the Papacy and the Protestant cause in the
Emerald Isle.

Death of Cyrus PreutIss, Eso.

Our citizens, and especially our oldest citi-
zens, were startled yesterday morning with the
sad news of the sudden demise Of Mr. PREN-
TIss. He died at his residence in Ravenna,
on the 3Oth ult after an illness of about an
hour, of bilious cholic, to which he had been
occasionally subject for years past
The death of Mr.. PRENr1ss will be deeply felt
by his numerous friends in Portage county,
and throughout the Reserve and Slate His
remarkable zeal, indomitable energy, aud uu-
firing efforts in almost every department of hui
man pursuit, necessarily gave him great in
huence with his fellow men, When a young
man he was in the employ of NATHAN PERRY,
Esq, ofthis city ,as clerk, and about 1922 or '23
commenced business at Rave on in partnership
with Mr. PERRY, under the firm of PERRY &
PRENTss.. After a few years the partnership
was settled, and he continued business in his
own name. As business man he won the
confidence of his fellow men, and was remark
able for his sagacity and decision.
His identity with the Rail Road enterprise is
generally known, and without disparagement to
Others, in the early history of the enterprise he
certainly may be regarded as the master spirit
especially is this true of the Cleveland and
Pittsburgh Road
As a Politician he was equally persevering
and decided--so jealous that by his opponents
he was sometimes charged with being too par
tizan He was Delegate from the Portage
district to the National Conventions that nomi-
mated both TAYLOR and Scorr for the Presi-
dency, and has always been known as a decided
Wing and warm hearted Republican.
As Christian, also Mr.. P. is deserving of
note Under the ministry of the Rev. "A. BRoN-
SON, in a large barn near Ravenna, he made his
way through crowded audience to announce
his determination to espouse the Christian
cause. His firm and manly bearing command
ed the respect of all His lberaty has been
almost professionally every Westinghouse in
Portage and its vicinity, and especially of the
Methodist denomination, to which Mr.. p has
belonged since ls32-can furnish some testi-
mony of this fact. And the writer once heard
it remarked by friend well acquainted with
Mr.. P, that he had never known any one so
Jealous and successful in acquiring property,
SO free in discussing it for benevolent and use
ful purposes.
Mr. PRENTIss Of course was not perfect, and
may have occasionally erred-yet it cannot and
will not be denied that he as more than a
common man. In spite of numerous obstacles
he rose to eminence-emphaticall doing with
his might what his hands found to do-and
has made for himself an enduring name lie
has been suddenly removed from busy life at
the age OF a little over three score-but such
men cannot be forgotten.
