large through that portion Of the

than was ever before known

the lives of men, women, and

with the virus. Then it will be
too late-the evil will be DONE
The country is full of worthless
dogs, that cumber the earth; and
the corporate authorities could not
do a more commemorate act than
to require that they shall be
chained, muzzled, or killed. Eve

with shudder. Why should we
expect to escape the scourge?-

which occurred at Manchester, in this

startled with a dull, rumblng cxplo-

phenomena of an earthquake. The
sound came from the southwest portion
of the city. Dense columns of smoke
arose from that quarter. Fire bells
rung and the engines came out, but
their services were not required. The
gasometer of the city gas works had ex-
ploded with stunning report. The
huge iron holder, l35 feet in diameter
and AZ feet in height, with a capacity
for halfa million cubic feet Of gas, was
torn in pieces and tumbled in Il confused
mass into the cistern.. Several persons
were injured but no lives lost.

The Fifth Lecture.

The Fifth Lecture of the Course at
the Masonic and Odd Fellows Hall,
Athens, was delivered, on Tuesday
night, by DIR. WIN. KENT. The gentle
man had selected as his subject, 1.-The
First Marriage;" and we must be per-
mitted to say that it was well and elo-
quently handled. There was a large
audience present, who evidently had a
high appreciation Of the entertainment.
The Doctor was peculiarly happy at the
cloae of his lecture, where he addressed
himself particularly to "Old Bachelors, y
and drew graphic picture of their mis-
cradle lot in this life and the awful fate
awaiting the finally impenitent in the
next. 1t was whispered around the
following day that several "hard cases
about town were so thoroughly impress.
ed by the lecture that they had wisely
accepted its suggestions and determin.
cd to make some lone woman happy
before the close of the present year.
So far the Lectures have proved de.
cided success, and we hope the Com.
mittee having the business in charge
will not let them end with the present
Course, the last of which will occur on
Tuesday evening Of next week.
