The Memphis Avalanche, of the 18th,
says: give of the Roman Catholic
priesthood have fallen victims to the
pestilence. First, Father Daily; next,
Father Carey; then followed Father
O'Brien, and yesterday evening Fathers
Leo and Sheehy were struck from the
world of men. The former died at the
parsonage of st. Mary's Church, at $50
p. NJ, and the latter at St. Peters par
sonage, two hours earlier. Father Leo
was of the Franciscan priesthood, and
had been meuhe4 g the order twen-
~ years. He was native of Hanover,
Germany, and forty years old. Father
Sheehy belonged to the Dominican or
der. He came to Memphis from Louis
willie, soon after Father Daily's death,
and at once began his holy mission of
visiting and comforting the sick, and ad-
ninistering the consultations of religion
TO the dying. Though unacclimated,
he, like Father Leo and our clergy, ir-
respective Of creeds, faced the scourge
as 4 true follower Of the Cross, intent
only upon doing good, and looking to
Heaven for reward"

DIR. U. r. Milner writes to the Ne y
Orleans Times to express his conviction,
founded on many years, experience, thi t
yellow fever is intrinsically the same as
intermittent fever, and that gu +. n
tine against it is useless. There never
was chill, however light, he continues,
in which the stomach was not sufficient
ly congested to stop, for the time, all di-
gestion. In that grade of malarial in
fiuence called yellow fever the onslaught
is not so violent as in coDgestive chill;
but the greater virulence of the poison
gives it more permanency, and unless it
is removed by opening the portal circu-
lation and disgorging the stomach, chem
ical decomposition will soon begin and
black vomit ensue. In the virulent
form where black vomit occurs later,
and the epithelium is freely mingled
with the decomposed blood and juices of
the stomach, the death of the organ is
denoted, and the patient must die.
Black vomit is but the evidence, in its
first stage or acuet form, of the conges-
ton of the stomach with a hemorrhage
relief; and in its second stage it evidences
that the stomach has not only been con-
gested, but that it has resulted in the
death of its superticient coats and blood
vessels

There is a gang of murderers in the
Long Island village of Huntington. We
refer to the persons who tarred, feather
ed, nutilated and murdered Charles F.
Kelsey, on the 9TH of November last,
and took his remains in boat with
weights attached and sunk them in the
Sound. A portion of the remains, tar
and feathers still adhering, and a gold
chain proven to belong to Kelsey at
tached, was washed ashore two month";
ago and identified. The murderer
manage by perjury and terrorism to
keep their secret from the Coroner
jury. The New York San SAYS OF nj.

beauty of the young woman for whose
sake Kelsey was murdered seems to
have turned the heads of many; and that
some of those suspected and accused of
this crime are Indirectly countenanced
and supported by being retained in the
employment of some Of the wealthiest
firms in New York. Moreover, while
proper feeling on the subject is evinc-
ed by large number of the citizens OF
Huntington, others manifest a disposi-
tion to hush up this dreadful crime and
pass it by in silence. We demand that
the cry of Kelsey's blood shall be listen

Dix to offer such a reward for the dete c.

shall accomplish the object? If Kelsey
could be murdered with impunity, any
other citizen of the State may be muir

Beautiful Spectacle in Toledo.

From the Toledo Commercial.
Phil. Sheridan astonished the crowd
by kissing young lady of some sixteen
or eighteen summers. General Custer,
declaring he would not be outdone, also
seized and kissed the young lady, and
then General Sherman began to look
around him for good model He soon
found one and imprinted kiss upon her
fair check only to see her pass by him
and kiss Generals Sheridan and Custer
The President blushed at the rashness
of his young officers, but directly his
eyes began to sparkle and he took ou,
his handkerchief and wiped his mouth.
The next real handsome lady who made
her appearance was the fortunate first
grown" lady to get a kiss from the
President seized her hand and pointed
his mouth for hers. She drew back at
first, but becoming Immediately cogni-
zant of the great honor conferred upon
her, she yielded, and the President gave
her lips soft touch-hardly sufficient
to he called kiss. Of course General
Sherman, Sheridan and Custer saw this,
and roar OF applause was the result.
General Sherman declared he was as
good looking as the President, gallant
Phil. then pleaded that he knew he was
as handsome as General Sherman, and
then General Custer was very certain
he looked as lovely as any of the rest,
and hence the young lady kissed them
all, one after the other. This of course
opened an excellent opportunity for the
fair bellies of Toledo and the sunny
daughters of the rural districts to kiss
the President and some of the military
heroes Of the late war, and they took ad
vantage of the opportunity.

A case of yellow fever has oc-
Cured in New York city-the vic
tim, however, had arrived there
from Memphis but few days before
the disease manifested itself. He
was at once removed to BlaekwelPs
Island, and the disinfecting corps
set to work upon the premises. The
dispatch says: ''Patrick Henry,
reported sick with yellow fever, at
73- Washington street, is in dying
condition. He had been in the
house since Monday. He came
from Memphis. Last night three
other men lodged in the same room
with him. Doctors are anxiously
searching for these men, as they are
afraid that they may carry the seeds
Of disease about with them"

The yellow fever is not abating at
Memphis, and money and help are
greatly need there.

The exact result of the State
election has not yet been ascer-
tanned, or if it has been, it has not
been made known. There is no
doubt, however, about the election
of Allen, whose majority is eonced-
ed to be something less than one
thousand. The balance of the
Democratic State ticket is defeated,
but the Democracy have secured
both branches of the Legislature, as
heretofore stated.

SE-s-l-sl Telegram - tLsS Iaza4nercAzl-
CIRCLEvILLE, O., October 21.-A de-
cided sensation has been created here bv
the disclosure of United S'atea-Reve-
nue defalcalion, which occurred some
seven years ago, but has been ctinuingIy
secreted, 50 far az the guilty party Is
concerned, until the present time. When
Nathan Denny, Collector for the Twelfth
District, under President Lincoln's ad
ministration, was removed by johnson.
his books revealed an indebtedness to
the Government of about ten thousand
dollars, which he was subsequently COM
PEELED to pay. Il is now discovered that
this money never passed into Denny's
hands at all, but was pocketed by his
chief clerk, Alfred Williams, the new
editor of the Circieville Union. Denny
intrusted all the business of the Office to
Williams, whose honesty was vouched
for by bond of So, 600 Williams ia
penniless. So Denny, through his at
torney, S. W. Courtright, of this city,
brings suit in the .Pickaway Court of
Common Pleas against Williams bonds
men for the amount of the defalcation,
S10, $50, with interest for seven years at
six per cent. making over fifteen thous-
and dollars in all. Williams has been a
leading Radical politician of this coun-
ty for many years, and indeed is about
the only person here who performed any
work for his party in the late campaign.
Since he became an editor he has assid-
uously devoted himself to the cause Of
political reform. We learn that Hon.
c. D. Martin and Mr. Mcneil, of Lam
caster, have been employed to assist the
prosecution.
