Religious Revival in Davenport.

During Lent the Roman Catholics hold

Professionals generally call "Revivals. The
Davenport Democrat of last evening has
the following:
The Mission at Ste Marguerite's Catho-
lie church, which was commenced week
ago last Sunday, by Fathers Coghlan, Nei-
dercorn and Bogie, S. j., of Chicago,
closed at noon o-day, aud it was the most
successful of any Mission eyer held in the
great northwest during the same length of
time. Father Coghlan, who was the pull
pit orator, is very effective and impress
sive speaker, and uses very effectually as
his weapon in defense of the Catholic
church and Its doctrines. the bible, from
which he quotes very freely in substantial
ton of every argument advanced. During
the Mission several priests from abroad,
besides the local pastors, were almost
constantly engaged in hearing confessions,
while during the day Father Coghlan and
| his conductors gave instructions in the
doctrines of the church. As result oil
the Mission $500 partook Of Communion
and some twelve converts were added tC

The following letter was not intended
for publication, but as it is from a candid
gentleman, long a resident here, and we'll
known by all, and twice a member of our
board of aldermen, we take the liberty of
publishing it, knowing that it will be read
with interest by all our people:
HARRISBURG, Pa, March 18th, 1877.
Friend Danforth:
have been reading, in The ARGUS, this
winter, the articles on the water question
and | have no doubt but the stand you
and Dr's Truesdale, Plummer, and the
majority of the doctors have taken is
right, as we had the same trouble here in
| Harrisburg three or four winters ago and
| from the same cause. The supply pipe at
the water works ran some distance out
into the river and at the end there was
largs iron grated box, and that winter the
ice interfered, and from some cause the
supply of water was checked. The super
inteEdent then opened place in the pipe
near the shore and took the water from
there The result was that nearly every
person in town, and many in the country
who had been in. town aud drank the wa
ter, got the diarrhea. 1t became serious
and some died.
There were the same conflicting opln-
ions here as in Rock Island, US to the
cause. The Legislature was in session
and they nearly all took the epidemic, as
they called it, and moved for an investiga-
ton, which was had by analizatiOp here
and 10 Philadelphia, by experts, who re-
ported the water impure. Still, here, as

There was a sewer from a large cotton
factory emitted into the river just above
the water works, which has since beer
changed so as to empty below; and the
supply pipe has been extended further tC
the middle of the river Ia the swift cur
rent, and a better fixture attached at the
end to admit the water, so there is no ob
struction in winter from ice-and since
then we have had no trouble with sickness
/ from water. Altho' there are yet severa
, sewers emptying into the river some dis
lance above, our water is considered good
; it being taken from the current, far out

morning, after reading THE ARGUS,

simply for your own satisfaction.

In letter to Or. Truesdale is the fol
lowing:
see by THE ARGUS that the bad waite
question is still agitated in Rock Island
We went through the same trouble her
three years ago, caused by sewers empty
J ing into the river above the water works
e and that winter, when the river was frozel
over, nearly every person was sick witt
diarrh9a and dysentery and many died
They have now changed the principa
e sewer so as to empty below the works, an
extended the supply pipe out into tn
middle of the river. Since then there ha
: been no perceptible trouble or sickness
from the water.

A Source of Poison not heretofore

Our citizens know that between Sylvan
Water Bridge aud the Railroad Bridge
is a large basin used for storing logs,
in booms. These logs are RATED down
from the Wisconsin and Minnesota piner-
les, and are used to supply the large saw
mills of keator & Co, and of Ana~alt,
Denkman, & Co. The bark on the logs
is generally pretty well filed with yermin;
as the bark falls from the logs and ssinks
and decays, the water in that basin becomes
foul and from it arises an unbearable
stencil 1t is now known that, last sum-
mer, while an effort was made by men in
| skiffs to rearrange the booms and logs the

stirred up and the stencil from the foul
water was so great that the men had tC
