BLOODY PERSECUTION OF THE CHRIsTIANsY
q In.r~Th hReston =TzasvT
2Sth'ult., has the following:
Another dismal record of the prosecutions
of the native Christians of MADAGASCAR has
reached us. The blood thirsty Queen, who
has been the scourge of the island for thirty
years past, and has in vain put forth all her
power to root out Christianity from it's soil,
seems to have renewed her energies in that
bad cause within the last few years-still
without success. By a strange se~lf-contra-
diction, she has just put to death such of her
relatives and great officers as would have per-
petuated her diabolical policy toward the
Christians, and has thus seemingly secured
the succession of her own son, who for years
past, has been an avowed disciple of the
prosecuted religion.
There has been recently organized, in this
city, says the Richmond, (Va.D Wing, a re-
hglous society, or congregation, called The
independent American Catholics the OBJ
Ject of which is to discover all connection
with the Pope OF Rome and his Bishops, and
in fact, to repudiate and protest against the
Roman Hierarchy in every form. 1t is COM
posed chiefly of French and German citizens.
many of whom are well known and highly
respected in the community. This is the
first move to establish an independent Amer
lean Catholic Church in America. and it
bids fair to increase in strength and impor-
lance, as we are informed that large num-
bers of adopted and native citizens in every
State OF the Union are expected to organize
similar congregations.
DYsPEPsIA.-The Americans are emphati-
cally a dyspeptic people. 1t is our all per-
vading disease, and one which taxes the skill
Of the physician and the patience of the sub
Ject. In its train follow many diseases akin
to the parent disease. For this, and for all
complaints arising from a disordered condi
ton of the stomach, the Oxygenated BltterS
are a specific. They have performed many
remarkable cures, and are worthy the atten
ton of all who seek relief from this class o
diseases.-NeD Hauem Register.
