~ We have been suffering for about
A week under a severe attack of the
mails. Monday morning found us down
with about six-score papers, which any
doctor, skilled in the treatment OF the
complaint, would pronounce well de-
veloped case. Daily, since that time,
we have disposed Of twenty or thirty OF
them but our readers must not suppose
that We have succeeded in presenting
them daily with the concentrated extract
Of a score or two of our exchanges. Far
from it-three-fourths of the material /
which we have raked, culled and filtered, |
still hangs inaccumulating festoons, like |
the grey moss of our forests, from divers
| hooks, or bangles its extremities, like
| little boy in papa's chair, from several
| pigeon-holes. But this is not the worst
Of the case-every day has brought an
accession of from fifty to seventy sheets,
causing a severe relapse, and offering for
solution the problem; more abstruse than
that of the frog in the well, when shall
we reach the bottom of the pile At
the time of writing symptoms are more
favorable, the morning mail not having
brought more than twenty-nine papers
and none Of them of an earlier date than
the 23rd-the 20th is the oldest date we
have reached in four days. 0, for
iforty-column sheet and twenty-column
supplement, only twO-thirds advertise
ments! But our advertising friends
have no mercy on us. And here, with
reference to that sheet and supplement,
we would copy, if we could find it, the
story of the worldly old farmer, who
was showing the minister his fine crops,
his convenient barns, his cultivators,
horse-rakes, &c The minister ventured
softly to suggest, cone thing thou lack

happened to be the New York News
The mistake was natural In the firs

the new ST. Patrick's cathedral ough
to be, is not only a Fifth Avenue build

Ave, for neither ave nor credO has yf
been said or sung within its limits. Th
most important fact, however, connecte
with this grand structure, seems to b.
that the cost will not probably eXcee

After this, it may be supposed tn
there is little room for the "other ne
