THE FENIANs,

The Fenian movement has commenced.
The sacred soil of Canada has been invaded
by the sons of Erin in hostile array against
the Home Government, and anxious to avenge
the wrongs Of Ireland. We don't know what
will come of it how extensive their pro-
gramme or their preparation to carry it out.
This will we, that we havn't it in our heart,
now that they have started the ball to wish
them much ill-luek.

themselves in the court house, where they
had solemn sitting for an hour or two, and

Knapp delegate to the State Convention,
with the expectation that Knapp would return
the compliment, but an old grudge prevented
the Judge from seeing it in that light, and
Petit was left out in the the cold. That's
all there was of the meeting. There would

THE National mteltigencer saws:

The National hteltigencer says:
We think Mr.. Seward sums up the entire
situation in a single sentence:
.sThe nationallife lately hung on the issue
of victory won in war. 1t now hangs on the
issue of reconciliation in peace"
That is the philosophy and statesmanship
of the question in nutshell.
And upon it may all agree, but is it proper
mode Of reconciliation that involves the SUBJ
lection of loyalty to treason?

THE HEALTH OF THE CrTY.-Cholera,
that fearful disease which seems too strike
such terror throughout any community it
may visit has at last subsidized in our midst.
4 few practical hints may be of advantage.
The people from the country have never I'M
derstood correctly the position and true
state Of the epidemic as it existed in the
city; but have been terrified by exaggerated
reports, and false rumors. Notwithstanding
the great number of deaths reported by the
Mortuary Committee, not exceeding seventy
five have taken place in the city proper.
What mean is, that portion of the city in
cluded between the river and the East,
Spruce street on the West, Line street on
the North and Demumbrane street on the
South, including population Of $4,000, and
these have resulted from great imprudence
or dissipation. Where the proper precau-
tons were observed in the selection ofwhole-
some, healthy food and the use of proper
medicine in the early stages of diarrhea,
20 deaths have occurred. 1t is generally
known that women take more care of them
selves than men, and to show that by proper
care and attention the cholera is almost
harmless, it may be stated that only one
prominent and highly respectable lady has
fallen a victim to the disease, in the whole
extent of the district mentioned, and she
committed great imprudence in diet. We
have talked with great many physicians
and give the above as reliable facts. Conf
dence will soon be restored, and business re-
sumed as of old.
