The refusal of Father Talsl1en tc
close the Catholic Church on Sun
day morning has, Of course, crea-
ted quite an excitement. But while
so many are ready to denounce his
reverence, and perhaps all may feel
that his actions was not in accord
ance with the best interests of the
city, still ii should be remembered
that he is under the most solemn
obligations TO say mass on Sundays,
and that he and his people consider
staying away from church one of
the greatest Of sins. Members oil
other congregations do not feel that
they are committing any particular
sin if they remain at home; but it
has been deeply implanted in the
heart of every Catholic that it is his
duty to hear mass on Sunday, and
while we cannot but feel sorry that
any of our people should SO far for
get the interests Of our city as to
disobey o judicious and highly
necessary order Of the Board CT
Health, still we see no need for any
abusive language or hard feelings
between any Of our people. We
think that on reflection the revcr-
end gentleman will see the proprie-
t. Of closing his church during the
time asked, and we arc confident
that no class Of citizens will more
cheerfully comply with the rules of
the Board Of Health, than the
Catholic portion Of this communi-

The excitement in regard to the
smallpox is increasing. There has
been an advance in the number O
cases within the week past, and il
has now assumed a very serious
aspect. There are at this writing
thirteen patients at the hospital
with prospects of more, and all arc
doing as well as possible, some al
ready being conyalescent and will
be able to come out in few days.
AS a proof that they receive good
care and attention, not one death
has yet occurred there, and all are
in fair way Of recovery.
~, The Board of Health are acting
e promptly in the matter, and when
a case is reported to them, the
house in which the patient resides
is Immediately closed and a notice
posted thereon, forbidding the en-
trance Of visitors. And when there
is anything needed by the family
they are promptly supplied 10y the
Board, if the parties are in reduced
circumstances, at the expense of
tic city.
The people are waking up to
just scnsibility Of the situation, and
60 not hang back as was the case a
few weeks ago. They at last see
The necessity Of cnacting stringent
measures and abiding by them.
And now. with the assistance and
cooperation Of the whole people Of
the city the disease can he checked
in its progress, and in time be made
TO succUmb.
In consequence Of tho alarming
proportions Of this pest, business
is very quiet and the streets look
dull and vacant, more like Sunday
than otherwise, very few of the
populace being willing to venture T
away from their own residence. 4

Boiler Explosion.

At Lafayette, Ind, on the 10Th
the switch engine Rover, on the
Lafayette, New Albany u Cincin'
natl Railroad, exploded while stand
ing ut the corner of Fifth and I'm
ion streets. Only two persons were
on the engine, David McNaTy, en-
eineer, better known on the road
as Sandy, and a youth named Kill
gore. The engineer was found
dead about fifty feet from the en-
CINE. Kilgore was blown some dis
tance and badly injured, but will
probably recover. The houses on
either side of the street were com
pletcly liddled. Numerous hair
breath escapes occurred, the most
prominent of which was that of
Mr. McGiIbrcy and wife, living on
the corner opposite the explosion
The windows and doors were blown
to fragments, and n large piece of
the dlive-wheel fell through the
house and on the bed where they
were sleeping. Their room was
literally torn to pieces, and still they
escaped without serious injury
The engine is complete wreck,
not q fragment Of the boiler being
left near it. Large pieces were
blown in every direction for four OF
five squares.

Joe.-Just so, my dear. Blu
when there are so many pulling i

town would not admit that the dis
case was smallpox, and some {
them will not now even cntertai
such an idea. But The terIibl
truth does not hide itself. If th
citizens would act in accordanc

Eornum's NuscuIu Burned.

A fire broke out AZ Barnum's
circus about 4 O'Clock Dec. 24th,
In half an hour the entire building,
though constructed of iron, was in
ruins. The flames quickly spread
to the buildings on either side.
Grace Chapel, on the castcrly side,
was burned to the ground, and the
Lawrence mansion, on the westerly
side, was seriously damaged. The
fire ran through the block 10
Thirteenth street, destroying the
carriage factory of Miner d
Stevens, and that of l.. Grotcs.
The loss will amount to 500. 900.
Another account says the loss will
reach 81 100000. The only animals
saved from the mena9eIie are q
camel and elephant. The cause of
the fire is unknown.
