FEVER AT NORFOLK AND PORTSMOUTH.

... BALTIMORE,

August 18.

The deaths at Portsmouth average «ight per day in a population of two thousand.

At Norfolk, the official report announces nine deaths and 16 new cas^s. Miss Lucy Andrews, of Syracuse, arrived at Norfolk and offered her services as nurse.

Dr. Sylvester, of the Norfolk Board of Health, is dead.

The other day a man was found mounted on a ladder, with his lips pressed to the telegraph wires. He was kissing wife iu Phiadelpbia "by telegraph."

A lady in Richmond, the other day, gave birth to a child that had a full set of upper teeth and two lower ones, all apparently as perfect as those of an adult. The child lived but thirty-six hours.

A German, on Monday performed the feat of drinking sixty mugs of lager beer successfully, in Jersey city, for a wager.

E3T Some fatal cases of cholera are said by the Oquawka Spectator to have occurred at Burlington, Iowa, recently.

It is pretty evident that when a man buys a hundred dollar handkerchief for 'a duck of a wife/ that he is a 'goose of a husband.'

From a hasty glance through the specimen copy exhibited by Mr. Huntington, we are certain this work will be of incalculable value to a family library.

For, just observe how it would operate.—Suppose the Catholics be* com-' in a few years the majority of the American people, which is not impossible, seeing that countries often change their religion then, if the Pope took i| iuto his hebd that, for some cause lie, deemed sufficient, the time had come when the faithful might throw off allegiance to this Republic, overturn the existing Government, and 6et up an empire, like that of Austria or France, in wnich the Catholic faith would become the religion by law established,— would not Catholics, according to Orestes A.
