correspondence of the Gazette.
VILLA LERDo, MEXICO, March fl
passed by the old Catholic cathedral
fronting the Grand PlszI at the hour Of
high mass. The two brass bells suspend
ed from beams in the unfinished tower,
were ringing forth an invitation to the
penitents to assemble and supplicate for
forgiveness at the shrine OF the Holy
Virgin, and before the altar, where the
gilded image of Jesus Christ stood ready
8S1 outstretched hands, TO It the burden
a MS from their backs.
Inc low, Sweet tones Of the grand
organ seemed to breathe notes CT sympa-
thetic coincidence to the humble devotees,
kneellng upon the stone-paved floor.
The uncertain light from the stained
windows on either side, blending with
the golden tinge sent forth by the
tall candles upon the main altar, pro-
duced a beautiful twilight, that added
solemn grandeur to the scene. At a
respectable distance from the main en-
trance, l seated myself upon rustic
bench In the shade of cottonwood tree,
ana watched the stream OF humanity
flowing in and out the door of this place
OF worship. Unlike the mode Of the
Protestant sects, there was no opening
PRAYER or closing benedictioD, but within
the hours set apart for the services, hun
dreds came and went, each kneeling q
orlef space, then arising gave place to
others that came later.
Tue bent, decrepit forms OF men and
nnmiGtAEAhlA
signs of advanced old age, labori-
ouslY picked their way along the street
TO the gateway, and then, as If exhausted
with the exertion, would kneel in the
church yard, inst without the doorway.
Middle aged matrons surrounded with
their children, walked briskly along on
their mission of worship. Young girls
IN couples and beVies, formed large
per cent. OF the assembling crowd.
Here, as elsewhere, there was scarcity
Of young snd middle aged men among
the Worshipers ct the holy shrine. One
noticeable feature that characterized the
women on this occasion was the prefer
ence for black costumes. With but few
exceptions, young and old wore olacs
dresses and black shawls covering their
heads.

GAZETTE ORFIoK,
FoRr WORTH. TEX. March s, 1858 I
Fort Worth traders, both wholesale and
retail, have erjoyed good business to-
day, and they consider the market good
for steady increase. They argue that
there must have been large demand &C
cumulsted through the bad weather that
has prevailed for several weeks back, dur
ing which, while few supplies were laid
in, the consumption relaxed but little,
and to supply this decrease in stocks will
necessitate some activity in the market.
While no complaint has been made Of
shortage in the supply of fuel, the local
dealers say that they have at no time in
several weeks had sufficiency Of coal on
hand to satisfy the demands Of two days
ahead, but that, through proVidential cir
cumstances, they have been able to fill
all orders. The fact Is the dealers had
not expected so much bad weather in the
latter part of winter, and so were unpre-
pared for it. There has been no Alabama
coal on the market for six weeks, up to
