A number ofpersons in this vicinity have been

tacks every member of the family it visits. AL
though very disagreeable, yet the disease does
not seem to be dangerous, and it yields readily

LOW WATER.
Owing to the uncommonly dry weather that
has prevailed here ever since last September,
the streams of water are very low. A number
ofwells and springs have gone dry, and the Sus.

Taking Dublin for centre, l can count, in
radius of three miles, twenty persons who are
over 80 years of age, and one who claims to be
over one hundred. l could give their names,
but the most of them are single, being either
widows, widowers or aged maids, and they might
not like to have their ages published as possibly

there was n wild, spread BELIEF TIA" 2agreat
benefactoi of mankind, or one who was to
have paramount rule, would shortly make
his appearance upon the earth. This belief
was not confln' 4 10 the Jews, who believing
the predictions Of their forefathers, the pro-
phets anxiously awaited the coming Of the
Messiah, but extended also to the pagan phil
osophers and historians. Suetonious says:
There had prevailed all over the East an
ancient and constant belief that the fates had
decreed that about that time there should
come out of Judea those who should obtain
the empire of the world" The historian
Tacitus, in his annals, also says: "A firm
persuasion prevailed among great many
that the ancient sacerdotal books proclaimed
that about this time il should come to pass
that the East should prevail, and that those
who should come out of 1udca should obtain
the empire of the world"
How completely this ancient belief that
ont of Judea should come those who would
obtain the empire of the world has been YER
ifrA To those who, following the teachings
of Christ and his Apostles, proclaim and
acknowledge His dominion, it may be truly
said the empire of the world has been given.
