The Fenians have torn up the rails and block

Ireland. There have been as yet 10 serious
outrages committed by he Fenians upon either
the persons or property Of private subjects, the

ADMISSION OF CoLoRADo.-The bill intro

Edmurds amendment bill, so-called, with
an additional clause continuing in force in

law Of Congress, and reserving the right to
enforce it and the Civil Rights law in the
State. The change IN the Senate and the

ments IN Ireland would seem to Indicate
very general risirg OF that organization
Seven or eight collisions with the govern
mens forces are reported, and other move
mcnis showing that in ten or eleven coun-
tics tie Fenlans are stirring. One despatch
says "they seem to have risen suddenly in all
parts of the island" Troops were hastily
sent over from England on Friday, and that
the Fenians can make any headway against
the strong forces opposing them is hardly

HOVE CANCELLATION White Street
Congregational Church was crowded full
Sun. evening, to hear the report of the Secre-
tsry Of the Union Committee. Mr. Hunger
ford, on the late religious canvass Of the
city. The report was exceedingly interest
ing and We understand it will be presently
published. 1t showed the total population
OF the city to be 1884, of whom 5sl7 are
attendants on the eight churches of the city
adding 1000 for those too young or too old
or disabled, and there remain lll7 who
never attend any church. Those registered
as Roman Catholics number 1870. There
are 1894 prOfessed Christians, members of
the six Protestant churches, and eco per-
sons calling themselves Protestants who
never attend church. The attendance at the
Protestant churches on the morning Of Sun
day, March Sd, by actual count was 1924.
The above are but a few Of the many
facts and figures gathered by the canvass Of
the city.
The report was followed by addresses
from Rev. Mr.. Wilcox of the Baptist church
on the means Of promoting the efficiency of
the Sabbath schools; by Rev. Mr.. McAnn
Of the Methodist Church, on religious visit
ing and neighbOrhood prayer meetings ; and
BY Pres. Angel of the University on the
work to be done by the Church for the
young men in the city, OF whom FIVE hun
dred are not church members
The exercises of the evening, though
lengthy, were listened to with unabated in
terest TO the last, and the effect Of the meet
ing cannot fail to show itself in the in
creased activity of Christians Of all the de-
nominations represented.
