and BY making as few people move as
possible. " ..s To-. 49,. q -----

g. Never, unless in the case of illness,

TERRIBLE WARNING.-The following

TERRIBLE WARNING-The following
are the particulars (taken from the Pitts
burg Catholic) of an item published and
vouched for by the leading Pennsylvania
papers:
On Thursday, the 18th instant, pris.
ouer in the Pennsylvania Peuiteutiary, by
the name of Holmes, was struck with apo.
plexy while giving utterauce to the most
horrid blasphemies, and died the next day.
The case was so remarkable that'it was re.
ported in all the dailies the same week. A
few days ago all the circumstances connected
with the horrible affair were described to
US, and We give them almost word for word,
as we received them from several re-
spectacle parties, Protestant as we'll as
Catholic, and possessing the best means OF
information.
Thompson (for Holmes was only an as.
suued name) bad been several years, per.
haps four or five, in the penitentiary, having
been convicted of horse stealing. He was
possessed of vigorous constitution, and
though an educated and intelligent man,
was professed infdel, aud accustomed on
all occasions, to use language of most
profaue and blasphemous character. He
was employed at shoe-making, and on the
fatal Thursday, while engaged, entered into
conversation on religious subjects with the
ooly otter prisoner in his cell, a Protestant,
working at the same trade. Thompson asked
bis companion if bis mother was Christian ;
being answered in the affirmative, be oh.
served that Christianity could be proved
from the Bible.
Thompson answered: "The Bible is like
an old fiddle, you can play any tune you
please upon it" When reminded that at
least the Divine character of the Founder
of Christianity was clearly set forth in the
Bible, Thompson asserted with great vehe-
mence, that "Jesus Christ was bastard,
and His Mother -" name which
none but the vlest rufian would apply to
even the most degraded woman. Thompson
had hardly given utterauce to these horri
bic words, when his cell Innate observed that
he was falling from the bench on which he
sat, and: catching him in his arms, gave
the alarm.
A physician was summoned Immediately,
but the case was one beyond the reach of
medical skill. Some said the Door man was
attacked by appoplexy, others might sus'
pect that he had been struck by the hand
God. There, with distended pupils, pal.
SLED tongue and rigid limbs, lay the wretch
ed blasphemer After twenty-four hours
spent in this condition, be passed to his
final account.

How LONG ?-The following paragraph
tells another kind of humiliation to which
Southerners are subjected in Philadelphia
awhile General G. A. Battle was in
Philadelphia, attending the late National
Union Convention, being man jealous for
Sabbath schools, he went to publishing
house to which he was recommended, and
inquired if they could get up Sabbath
school library unexceptionable in sentiment
to the South. They replied: I'VE have no
such books, nor would We publish such if
they were offered to u.s. He then went
to the American Baptist Publication Socie.

substance the same reply"

PAPER MILLs.-In the United States
there are $50 paper mills in active opera
tion. They produce 27O,OO0,0OO pounds
of paper, which, at an average Of ten cents
per pound, would be worth $37, 100000.
As it requires about pound and one.half
of rags to make one pound Of paper, there
are consumed by these mills 100000, 900
pounds of rags in single year. If we es.
innate the rags to cost 4 cents per pound,
there would be profit of s1l,O0O,00O in
this branch of manufacturing.

SWISS LABoRERs FOR THE SOUTH
The Rev B. F White writes to the New
Orleans Christian Advocate, from Zurich,
Switzerland, July II, as follows:
can secure as many laborers as | want,
by paying their way to the United States :
I can get thousands on the following con-
ditions: They will bind themselves to labor
(and they work twice as hard as negroes,
generality for you for one or two years,
for their passage across the ocean, board
and clothing; and, at the end of the time,
the expenses will be deducted from the
gross receipts for the products of their la.
Dor, and the balance divided between
them, and their employer two thirds. To
illustrate 1t will take S25 to take them to
New Orleans, and, say $3.50 to clothe and
feed for one year say be makes seven bales
of cotton and fifty barrels of corn, worth
in all, $500; take from $500 SITS expense,
leaving 1925; now one tbird-S29O, the
share of the laborer-and SALT, the share
of the employer. They will enter into writ
ten obligations before the United States
Consul here, which he (the ConsuD assures
me is binding: and will hold them in the
United States 1 think it good chance
for our farmers; say, commence with only
ten hands, $3.50 or $500 will put them on
the place, and the probable net proceeds
will be about s400; and with this, the Sec
oud year you can enlarge to any extent
most desirable If failure, there is but
little lost, probably nothing expenses are
first paid, then, if anything is left, it is di
vived. Or they are willing, after all ex-
penses of feed for horses, plow.sharpeDing
etc., are paid, to divide the next proceeds
iu half. The people seem nice, industrious
and intelligent Our kind regards to our
friends. My address is Zurich, care of

Bosros, June 1.-The anniversary meeting Of
the New England branch Of the freedmen's Union
Commission, held In Music Hall last night, was
largely attended, Ex-Governor Andrew presiding.
Edward L. Pierce gave an account Of about eight
hundred schools, with forty thousand pupils alto
gether. Altogether there were probably one hun
dred thousand boing educated. The number, the
speaker claimed, ought 10 DO ten times as large,
and every dollar given to the object should be ten
times as much. The schools all through the South
were crowded and in aourishing condition.
The commission was organized Ave years ago for
the purpose Of giving knowledge and manhood TO
the black race. The commission had been greatly
aided BY the sister societies Of New York, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, and the West.
Reference was made 10 the fact that the secession
cause was still prayed for in the Southern churches
Mr. Pierce said he almost felt that the religion Of
the South was confined exclusively 10 the oolored
churches. The Southerners were determined that
treason should not bs made odious, and that the
Union cause should be.
It was the object Of the white Southern people
now and forever to organize feeling Of hatred in
the Southern heart against Union men, which should
be the same the hatred OF the people Of Ireland
against England and that Of the Poles against the
nations that had divided their country.
Governor Andrew read q letter from General
Howard, apologiIing for his inability TO DO present
and expressing his Sympathy with the objects Of the
meeting.
Remarks were made By General Hawley, Cover
nor elect Of Connecticut, Colonel Thomas W. Hig-
ginson, and others.
SUDDEN DEATH.
Deacon Thomas Wilder, q venerable and we'll
known citizen, died Of apoplexy last night while
present at meeting In fremont Temple.
