TIE FAIR AND FEsrIvAL.-The series O.
entertainments given by the ladies' of the
Catholic Church at fremont Hall, last week,
were probably the most successful, in pecun-
larry point of view, Of any that have ever been
held in this city. On Friday evening the
hall was filed with the largest crowd we have
ever seen assembled in that building. 1t is
said that over eight hundred people were pres
ent at one time, and so dsnsely were the con-
gregated sovereigns packed together, that it
was almost impossible to move across the

this is but of piece with our usual luck, we

AIR, s 'NsHINE AND HEALTH.-A
New York merchant noticed, in the
progress of years, that each successive
book-keeper gradually lost his health,
and finally died Of consumption. how
ever vigorous and rotuat he was on en-
tering his service. At length it occur
red to him that the little rear.room
where the books were kept opened in a
backyard, so SURF GUIDED BY high walls,
that no sunshine came into it from one
years end to another An upper room
we'll lighted, was Immediately prepar
ed, and his clerks had uniform good
health ever after.
A familiar case to general readers
is derived from medical works, where
an entire English family became i'll,
and all remedies seemed to fail Of
their usual results, when, accidentally
a window glass Of the family room
was broken, in cold weather. 1t was
not repaired, and forthwith there was
marked improvement in the health OF
the inmates. The physician at once
traced the connection, discontinued his
medicines, and ordered that the win.
dow pane should not be replaced.
A French lady became Ill. The
most eminent physicians Of her time
were in, but failed to restore her. At
length D,peytren the Napoleon of
physic, was consulted. lie noticed
that she lived 10 dim room, into
which the sun never shone the house
being situated in one of the narrow
streets, or rather lanes of Palis. yIe
at once ordered more airy and cheerful
apa: tments, and al her complaints
vanished.

The most common plant grows spindly,
pale aud screggling, if no sunlight falls
upon it. The greatest medical names
in Fracce, Of the last century, regard
ed sunshine and pure air as equal
agents in restoring and maintaining
health.
From these facts, which cannot be
the most common mind should
conclude thas cellars. and rooms on
tho northern side Of buildings, or
apartments into which the sun does
not Immediately shine, should never
be occupied as family rooms or cham
bers or as ibrlries or studies. Such
apartments are only fit for stowage, or
purposes which never require persons
to remain in them over few minutes
at time. And every Intelligent and
humane parent will arrange that the
family room and the chambers shall
be the most commod:ous, lightest and
brightest apartment in his dwelling
