We appeal, earnestly, to the Irish people of America
Will you, for once in your ives-for your own, and

Altar Denunciations.

We have received the following extract from SER
mon delivered in Meadville Pa on the last Sunday in
the year just past by the Rev j. L. Fnnucane of that
place. The able correspondent who sends us the ex-
tract informs us that must defend ourselves from
the accusations Of nfdelity" and general depravty"
with which we charged by the reverend gentleman
We would willingly pass this individual case feeling
perfectly satisfied at the mastery manner in which our
correspondent handles the subject were it not that the
reverend gentleman went beyond the strict line of truth
and from the altar which should be devoted and sacred
to truth, has misrepresented us most grossly
We are of the opinion that the Rev. Mr. Finnucane
in his zeal for the protection of his flock from the raw
ages of such Irish wofdogs he represents us to be-
and feeling almost that his assertions would never
pass beyond his parish boundary suffered his passions
to get the better of his Judgment. How else can we
account for the objectionable fasehoods to which he
RECALLED his flock the present occasion Now we do
not find fault with being made the text for sermons In
fact, we take it as highly complimentary that certain
reverend gentlemen in various parts of America find it
more interesting to substitute THE IRISH REPUBLIC for
the Old and NeV Testaments on Sundays. We would
suggest to preacher friends the fairness of reading
whole articles to the people instead of picking out dis
connected sentences here and there that without their
accompanying qualifications would lead the congrega-
ton to form opinions This style of preach
ing would be decided improvement in some pulpits

DESTRUCTION OF TREES.

In an article in 'the Mail' for the Bird
November we found the following remarks:
Man is now claiming to be master of the
climate. He can open or close the VIII
dows of Heaven as he lists, by making the
surface a forestor Il desert On reading
those lines we were led to reflect whether
our landed proprietors here are fully con-
scious of what they are doing, when they,
with the mercenary object of saving the
expense for Goals Tor their stcaln-mlIlS, fell
almost all the trees they eau fad on their
w properties and on those OF others, who
allow them to do so for the sahe OF the
triHing gain they get from the sale OF the
wood. Do they know that by doing so
they may cause a decrease in the annual
fall of rain in the Island, thereby depreclat-
ing their properties to a far greater extent
than they profit by the momentary saving
or gain of IA few dollars? A country de-
prived of all its forests and trees is exposed
to'become IL desert, because no sort OF a9rl-
culture can exist without a certain quantity
of rain annually. We have a warning in
stance in the ease OF Greece and other
Countries, where the mountains that we're
once covered with extensive forests have
been entirely denuded of that covering,
hence the whole surrounding land has be-
come entirely uAfit for agricultural purpos-
es. We know we'll enough that there are
some few who object to the theory OF trees
having any influence in respect to the tall
of rain; but then trees possess another
worth intrinsicall,, iii the pleasure they at
ford to the eye, to mention nothing OF the
veneration with which many persons look
up to an aged tree SO that also in this re-
speet a property deprived of its trees be-
comes deprecated in its value, since there
are many a purchaser who would attach
greater worth to land with trees of any de-
%scription upon it, than to land entirely bare
of them. having nothing else than cane
fields and gr~ass-pieces, where unfortunately
viler grow tbs, brambles and weeds, are
tolerated TO very great extent. s'Z."

placed on the lists, This is a duty that
they not only owe to the public: but they
owe it to themselves. An elector may not
care to-day to interest himself in favor of
any candidate, but tomorrow he may wish
to use this right, and then if his name has
not been entered on the list, he has but
himself to blame for his negligence.

of Cholera having appeared in Guadeloupe.
ALTHOUGH The account may still be consider
ed doubtful, the necessary precautionary
measures have at once been taken at st.
Thomas and here in this Island, and the
quarantine-rules have been extended to
vessels from all the Windward and Leward
Islands. The Quarantine Commissions here
can certainly never be too strict, as the en-
tire welfare of the Island depends upon this
pestilence being kept off.
