small tongues Of fire forced their way through

Isev. Thomas Guard.

SUDDENLY ovERTAKEN BY A SAD MISFORTUNE.
On Thursday last, Rev. Thomas Guard, the
eloquent Irish minister of Baltimore, but well
known in Wilmington, was overtaken with sad
misfortune at Seaford, in this State. In the af-
ternoon he had preached a most able discourse
at the Hurlock's Union camp meeting, in Dor
chester county, in which lie exerted himself to
wearness and besides was excessively warm at
its close. On taking his seat he famed himself
vigorously, and it il Thought this cause superin-
duced the misfortune which befel hlm-the sud
den loss of his sight.
Late in the afternoon Mr.. Guard left the camp
ground for Seaford, intending to take the train
north on the Delaware X. r. but after he had
lost his sight he concluded to go south to Girls
field and take the boat for home as friends were
going in that direction. We have no advices oi
his restoration to sight. 1t was surmised by the
friends whom he had left that the blindness pro
ceeded from paralysis of the optic nerves.
