HORSES IN TRoUBLE.-Superintend Leach
informs us that an alarming disease has sud-
denly made its appearance among the horses
under his charge. Since Thursday morning
seventeen horses have been taken down, one he
thinks cannot live, four are in sings, and the
rest exhibit the disease in its various stages.
Mr.. Leach is afraid the disease will spread
through the whole stable.
The running of the horse cars is already Sc
riously hindered.
The horses are taken suddenly unable to
stand. The spine appears to be the part most
seriously affected.

perity The addition of regenerate persons in
creases the power and purity of a community;
and every instance of apostacy ploportionately
decreases it. Religion is recitude of heart and
life, the habitual subsection of thought, utter
ance, and action to the supremacy of heavenly
truth and the will of God. Real, living. earn
est, upright Christians are collectively-to
whatever denomination they belong-the light
of the world the salt of the earth, the only con-
servators of what is worth perpetuating In ma
ton.
The doctor closed with the assurance that
two institutions deserved our most serious con-

the observance of the Sabbath.
ST. LAWRENCE STREET.
The observance of our annual Fast was tried
as an experiment by the churches on Munjoy.
Inc Congress street Methodist and the st. Law
renee street Congregational united in services
ana prayer meeting at the house of the latter.
The sermon by Rev. Mr.. Wright was an earnest
| plea tor the preservation of the religious char.

and interested audience. The PRAYER meet;no
was glowing one, and all felt that for once in
the history of these sstery churches. Fast Day
wa. successfully observed Below we give
| brief abstract of Mr. Wright's sermon:
Text-2d Chron., Xxx; 8, 4. The essential
| idea of religious Fast is not abstinence, but
humility penitence and prayer. 1t is not to
aflict the body in order to quicken the spirit,
but to subordinate the wants of the flesh to the
needs of the spirit. 1t is to set apart and con-
secrate day to spiritual exercises, that in it
man may humble himself before his Maker and
by duplication secure his favor and blessing.
The only thought in the mind of the pious
Jehoshaphat was, GLOW shall and my peo-
ple appear before God and secure His aid in
this emergency" The spirit of the king per-
vaded that vast assembly, and as God looked
down from OIL high he was pleased with the
sacrifices they brought to him; pleased to see
the hearts of the people upturned in trust to
Him.
Would God have been as well pleased If that
appointed Fast had been spent in pastime and
p parties and will it indeed be an indication Of
religious progress in our land when some wide
annual gala day in the place of our time honor
ed fast? Evil will be that time, if it ever comes
and God forbid it should, when the religious
sentiments of our communities will tolerate

The SANDWICH ISLANDS, in the opin-
ion of the San Francisco Chronicle.
ought to be annexed to the United
States: they belong to us bv virtue
OF their original discovery" We had
been under the impression that when
Captain Cook first visited these is
lands, he found them inhabited by
creatures who walked erect upon tw q
legs. we're endowed with the faculty
OF speech and bore much resemblance
tn e Ii this be true. il seems
probable that they had discovered
the islands prior to Captain Cook. The
present inhabitants are their descend
ants. and may perhaps think that
they have derived some rights by in
heritance from the original discover
ers which a respectable white mar
would feel bound to respect. As to
the re-discOvery by Captain Cook, we
had always supposed that navigator

The Carson Appeal wants a " Home

bad boys may be protected from

been tried in San Francisco, and the
press-or a portion of it-lately cried
out for protection of the bad boys
against their keepers. We fear the

not so easily reformed and it is
probable that they will continue to be
bad to the end of their tether. Where
one is reformed, three or moro reach
