FREMONT. great lapor ai times, but one in whirh has always been exhibited, but we fear that the interest has somewhat worn off. All this is equally applicable to each company in the city. Last spring we were disposed to haul this ques tion of efficiency of fire organizations up before the public, and it is well recollected what an amount of abuse was thrown at our heads for the trouble. This did not amount to anything with us if we succeeded in the project of refitting and organizing these companies. Some, if not all of the members, were almost " fighting mad" at what was said, and we are not so sure but that our worthy old mayor himself did not feel a lit tle sensitive about this matter. A call was im mediately made upon the chief engineer of the fire department for the companies, and it was furnished, so we hear, still we are now in the beginning of winter without being one Whit befter off in this particular than we were six months aero. We believe we are rcany worse off, for at that time two or three oi tne companies were willing to do, but at pre sent it appears as'if they had lost all interest be cause, as we have said above, of this indiffer ence, to tneir wants. We have now a lazy, shifty vi iaim n iu luc counn unity, wno are none too good to do anything that is mean, and who have only managed to get along during the past because of its being warm weather. The winter is coming on and these scamps having nothing to do, and nothing to eat, must resort to their rascality, the approach to which, it has been noticed, they are fast drifting by nightly attemps at burglary. We must expect them to go to extremes, aud we must prepare for it without the least disguise, as they are not to be driv en off under any circumstances. . Lf preparation is not made to meet their depredations some one will be responsible for greater disasters than our uuy uaa ever Deiore. sunerea. Home may. say it is wrong to publish such a statement and un necessary ; Be this as it may, with due respect to the city authorities, they need a little jogging up occasionally upon important matters connect ed with ciy necessities. We don't believe in broken doses, and the fur must fly while the fight lasts, so we will call their attention to another very important matter. A lady said a few days ago that she feared to go on the street now-a-days, lest she would come in contact with some drunken character. This is true in a great measure. Every day, low, drunk en fellows are prowling the streets of the city, annoying the better class of society.

The Paris correspondent of the London Times says it is generally reported in Paris, that the French army in Mexico will be withdrawn by in stalments, and that by August and September of next year the whole will have returned to France. This resolution is said to have been adonted not only from a desire to afford ground of complaint on the part of the United States, but also on economical grounds.

' Governor Wells, of Louisiana, has issued a Italy, each its rrmarhlv Vent down : there is little chance of the superabundant population so increasina that the fears nf Mit.h- should be realised. Peace possesses not the heart of all of us, and fear has now come anions us that another great "check" will add to the per turbations of Man. This is pestilence; which comes every now and then : now less fre.mor.tw than then ; because Science has taught us to obey more diligently the laws of Nature. But when Man was beset and dazed hv i lence and Famine slew his children. We have a sad chronicle of plagues. At Rome nearly eighteen hundred years ago, a. d 80 a pestilence slew, we are told, 10;000 people daily In the years 167, 169- and 189, pestilence again ravaged the Roman empire. In Britain, A. D. 430, so many people were swept away that there were hardly enough left to bury their dead. At Constantinople 746-9, 700,000 people perished. In England, so William of Malmesbury tells us the plague was so great in 772, that in and about uicnester d,uuv people perished. In 1111 Holinshed tells us of a dreadful nest.ilenre in T.nn. don, in which thousands of people, cattle, fowls a.uu uiuci uuuiesuc ammais perished ; and it is said that at Paf is and in the south of France the same process has just begun by the death of the fowls. In Ireland, in 1204, a prodigious number perished. In 1340, the "Black Death" raged in Italy, and in 1348 the plague, described by Boc caccio, raged over Europe, causing a fearful mor tality. We here in England suffered severely In London alone, in the year 1348, when the plague at Florence, described by Boccaccio, took place, 200 people were buried daily at the Charter-house. Again we were visited by plague in 1367, Ireland in 1407, and again in 1478, when 30,000 people were slain by pestilence in London alone; and throughout England, more persons were slain by disease than by the fifteen preced ing years of war. In J485 we were cut down by the Sudor Anglicus, the sweating sickness, and this again broke out in 1499-1500 so dreadfnllv in A.onaon tnat llenry VII. and his court removed w aiais. Ana soon, we need not follow the quicic comingvears thar brought the trouble. In ion, zuu,uw perished at Constantinople. In lob4-o tne fcrreat Plague, called so probably be cause most rememoerea, earned off 68,596 per sons ; Defoe gives the number at 100,000.

Did they think that God would hear their prayers more readily from St. Paul's than from tneir own chambers 1 Fanatics immediately as serted that God was angry with his people, and more than one assumed the character of nrh. phet, and walked about the streets, like John of vnscaia at tne siege of Jerusalem, calling out " Woe, woe, woe upon this devoted city ! " So iear sa upon tne hearts of all, save where men. uxjui. nnu a. worse iear, maae tnemseives Inink, and revelled and rioted in the midst of the dead and dying. s r ' . ; . And now one word op so about fear and out ward religion in a pestilence. ThO London Times recently resuscitated an bid tbry, which deserves telling again, although the teller and the writer of it made a false- application of .the Yable. A traveller in the east, at the confines of a city, met the plague. - "Oh, stranger," said ihe spirit of the pest, " I travel towards this devotedcity' to kill five thousand people," " And so he went his way. As he came thence, the samel traveller met him. " But," cried the traveller, takin up the conversation, M thon hast exceeded thy measure oh plague thou hast killed twenty thousand?" "nay," was the solemn: rejoinder,. I kept to my promise of. five thousand ; fear killed the rest." Now the fable is very .'good for aMussnhnanwho beheves ni fate, but not for a christian. ' Accord ing to the Turk, only those appointed la be slain areslain .by the plague, and the rest may remain in safety, and without fear. But science tells us this is all bosh. We need not remain near infec tion ; if any one touches eats, drinks, o breathes infectious matter, . poison, it Jcills Ihinii ITheie is no fate, ho kismet whatever in a man' taking a tablespoon full f prussiatacidjibnfera rery full and sufficient cause and result 80s wewOught to get inW pure air as. soptt af possible-V As for fear, it cannoand never did- kill 1 any onein an mfecfiotu 'djsease like; the. choleraA.vThere are prrfdisposihj: causes for , every single Instance ; and although Jt is very .foolish to.fear aud much betted to, ,40 your, duty, fear : does HDt kilt you with the plague of cholera. - It may weaken you, render you less able to" support the attack if at tacked, but'it will not induce the terrible disease. Mere outward observances bf religion are edually out -of place. Whattne wants is a true faith, and true religion in the heart, Lojrd Pahiierston had in 1854 a nassase at arms' with certain. Scotch fanatf cvery good people, ho "doubt, hunot the men for the case, who ordered all tneir people to pray and fast when' the cholera was' prevalent. : r raying was all. very well, bttt ! fasting - was, to those attacked, simple mUrder. The Scotch par sons and ministers took it for eranted " the cho lera was the resnk "of Divine anger, and was in tended to chastise our Rins. ; Tn reply, cbhtmues Buckle, in T his: Hiiiorylqf Ck-iiizat4on, yvV 1, p. 594, " to a memorial : to the JSnghsh, government, begging it tb set aside a day for national humilia tion, they received doctrine Which', to English men, seemed right enough, but" which to Scotch men seemed yery profane., -The Presbytery were informed that the-affairs of this world .are .rerm- lated by natural laws, and " the weal or woe of mankind depends upon the observance of these laws.".. - The reply continued' Lord Palmerston would suggest that the. best, course which, the people of this country can pursue will be to, .em ploy themselves in planning and executing treas ures by which they can better- lodge the - poor, and cleanse their city, so that those places which, from; the. nature fof things, , most needs purifica tion and improvement, may be freed from those causes-of contagion-which, if allowed to remain, will infalliblylireed pestilence, and be fruitful in death, .in spite of all the prayer and fatting of a united but inactive nation." ' - ' Now, had the theory of the Scotch presbytery been, true, Lord Palmerston should have died that very night of cholera, and the whole cdurt should have keen swept out, by the Angel of ,the Lord, for agreeing with Palmerston. But either they were utterly in the wrong, or the messen ger of an Almighty. Power was so blind that he passed over all the wicked great, and seized upon all the innocent poor ! And what right have we to peep behind the curtain at the designs Qf the Almighty,-and direct the thunders of his red right hand 1 Let science be the aid cf ralinon Teach us. how to pray, how : to judgi of God's great power, of His infinite love also in giving laws, the infraction of wbich brings certain punish ment, which punishment checks us and keeps us in the right way. That the plague seldom falls upon the wicked everybody knows. While the innocent matron, and the child and nurse were overwhelmed with fire at PoinDeii. and died groan ing beneath the burning! lava ' of Vesuvius, the sceptical Pliny the Younger, the vicious soldier, the gladiator, gambler, and worse knave, all es caped. While the puritans, full of prayer and righteousness in a corrupt and foolish city, fell in our plague in 1664, Charles II. and ' his vile court, his mistresses, panderers, bullies and cheats lived on in an enjoyment (so called) ren dered more intense and reckless by the suffering of others. -. Religion, that' is the niere open cele" bration of it, is useless in a Pestilence : whereas the true religion, which feeds, cleanses, instincts and comforts the poor, which makes us aware of the beauty and health of cleanliness, utterly cuts off and exterpates the root of pest'lence. It is probable that many of our readers will pronounce us very wicked when we assert that the Blooms- Dury nower show, and clean room .movement of the last few years have done more to put a stop to cholera, (by prevention), than all the crying to saints,' preachings, and fastinus put toe-ether. all over the world have done. , . " Cause produces effect," said a philosopher, " and the effect becomes in its turn the cause of other effects." In the year 1854 the cholera broke out in Soho. Hundreds were stricken down. The temperate men, who drank water, died seventy-five per cent ! The beer arid gin drinkers did not die. The prayerful, good wo men were carried off in haste ; the rackety; bad men escaped. The people on one side; of j a street died; those on the other lived. One house (let us say No. 1) lost father, mother, children and servant; No. 2 was quite frefe. , The vestry deliberated, the parsons prayed and the old wo men trembled. At lasteamea queer, scientific doctor, who knew how to observe. " Gentle men," said he to the vestrymen, if you want to stop the cholera, screw off the handle of the Broad street pump." The chairman was indig nant, the vestrymen laughed him to scofn; never theless the magical doctor prevailed, took away the pump handle, and the nlatme. was Cta ire1 "It was regularly knocked down," said a doctor; " it never killed one more man, woman or child. Dr. Show knocked king cholera down with' that pumb handle. And how 1 ; Cause produces ef fect, and effect is in its turn the cause of other effects." Keep this in blind. The pump water was in general esteem, and either a cholera pa tient had been brought to Soho, and ; the vomit and washings poured into a drain which commu nicated with the well, and thus impregnated it. ' or, as others said, the well was decayed, and the soil of some pest-hole where the riftnnW whn hri died from the plague had been buried mixed with the water. 1 Tha doctor going about found a workshop used by. teetotal, tailors, each had his little pan of water, nearly emptied, a great many many of whom died; but a whole host of ' beer drmking brew( rs were quite welL House No. 1 drank water only, and its inhabitants died; house No. 2 only boiled water or gin, and lived. The right-hand street was supplied by the New Bayer and was well ; the' left-hand side went to the pump, and was scourged; Strangers who d rant at the pump, the water whereof was ? delicious ' died. The only cholera case , at Hampstead wis that of an old lady, to whom the carrier brought her favorite spring water three times a week. The doctor followed the - carrier, hut it mm late. The old lady had drnnt t.h WiUnm on1 was dead: the servant, who was not so fond , of water, was very ill, she had just sipped it. Then Dr. Snow determined to screw of -tKo rmmru handle, and he eared the parish. ; i- wi To this story, let us add a few plain word hint.
