The New York Herald Rears Hard on the
Fenians.

New York, May 1.-THE Herald says the
sudden flush Of hope in the minds of the
Fenians that their coveted opportunity has
come at last, and that as soon as war breaks
out between Eng land and Russia they will be
at liberty to enlist in the Russian service for
an invasion of Canada, is as wild freak Of
lunacy as ever got possession Of an empty
brain self-advertised to be let unfurnished
The idea Of the doughty Fenans that there
will he a call for their valor and
n scope for their deadly hate of Eng
land as soon as war is declared
Is sheer moonshinc and nonsense The alb
surd way OF jumping at conclusions Is n fresh
proof of their ignorance and wrongheadedness
The conquest of Canada by the United States
would be q brief holiday campaign II we
desired to annex it, but we do not want
Canada. No true American desires to seize
and possess It,; The Fenans are a set OF con-
ceited, mischief making donkeys, who will be
sternly repressed and punished if they at
tempt to invade Canada in the pretended in
terest of Russia We are confident nothing
is further from the intention Of Russia than
to abuse American friendship by encouraging
violations of our neutrality laws and subsi-
dizing these shallow-pated Fenians.

nine respectively, have died there

other, her only one left, is danger.

Children of State Senator Welfley,

ease, but are in fair way of recov-
cry.
The case of Mrs. Feggy is very
distressing, as it is but a few months
since she lost her husband by death,
and now she is agonized over the
death of three of her four children,
all within five days, and the fourth
one lying in critical condition.
