AWhiskey F,iendshfp.

Two men, one supposing himself to
be a Clark and the other undoubtedly
thinking he was a second Chambers,
met yesterday afternoon At the corner
of Eighth and Church streets, on a
question of muscle. The men were
drunk and supposed the atmosphere to
be huge blackboard. Thinking that
he held a piece Of crayon in his fist one
man began to descry circles and tried to
make slanting, perpendicular and hor-
izontal lines. The other man, being Of
a rather curious turn, attempted to see
II his arm would extend over the space
between his breast and his companions s
nose.
The pugilists commenced to howl and
soon a large crowd gathered around
them. In few minutes friends inter-
posed and the combatants were parted,
but then again they Immediately
decided to proceed to Southl Whining
ton, and continue the fight. It is sup
posed that it was settled agreeably, as
two hours thereafter the aepirants for
fame went up Church street and enter.

The following letter, received from
Ireland, has been offered to the REPUB-
LOAN for publication:
Moor VIEW House, BY LETTERKENNY,
Aug. 3, 18S0.-DEAR Mr.. PEOPLES 1T
IS with feelings of great gratituds and
very kind regards that have the plea l.
ure Of aoknowlt dying your letters Of
July the 18th and 231, with their very
welcome and reasonable enclosures.
By your spop tsneous and christian lib
erality, you and your friends have
laid myself and congregation under
lasting obligations.
The movement, l believe, has taken
origin at the proper souics and has
been fostered and forwarded under the
influence of a tender, warm and loving
spirit; and l trust will be faithfully,
lovingly and impartialIy administered
under the same light and guidance.
Permit me in my own name, and that
Of the congregation individually, to
offer you and your friends, our heart
felt and very sincere thanks for your
deep interest in, and generous response
to our solicitations for aid in behalf or
privation and suffering.
In answer to your inquiry, as to the
religious and social condition of the
people generally, would say: In
the years '59 and go being the period
of the great revival in this country,
we had very genial and refreshing
seasons of grace in this locality, and
very signally SO in this Congregation.
The people became serious and devo-
tional, and much giveu to reading the
Scriptures and attentively waiting on
the minority of the word ; and | am
happy to say that it was not without
much fruit.
Since that time the congregation suf
fered very much from the cruel and
unfeeling treatment which they re-
ceived from their late Landlord, the
Earl of Leithrim, whose barbarous
death you have no doubt heard Of
This with three successive wet seasons
but especially the last, have very much
reduced their worldly circumstances,
and brought on domestic privations,
but the crops this year look well, and
we earnestly hope for better times soon.
These domestic trials have told on
their attendance at church on the
Lords day, as well as other causes.
The Episcopal church in Ireland is
disestablished so that most of the
church lands are broken up and sold
off, leaving very small margin ofsup'
port to the nominal Rector. The pres
ent Rector of Killmacrennan is a Mr..
Altman, quiet gentleman, advanced
in life, with very poor and sparce
congregation.
have arranged with my Elders and
Committee to meet with me, to allocate
your bounty in the most prudent and
judicious manner we can; when all is
over l will let you know the result.
Again with renewed expressions Of
gratitude and esteem believe me,
Very truly and sincerely yours.
