Cardinal Guiberfc, Archbishop of Paris, paid a visit, on Monday in Passion week, to the Asylum for the Aged Poor kept by the LittleSisters of the Poor in the Rue Phillippe de Gerard. His Eminence put on a large white apron, and waited upon one hundred and eightyold men at their dinner. The fact that Carter and Co., of George street, are the only Drapers in Dunedin doing a strictly Cash Trade who import their own Goods direct from Home Markets, is the one cause of their being able to sell cheaper than any other firm. Carter and Co. have just opened, ex S.S. Coptic and Kaikoura, 16 cases Menfc and Boys' Clothing, and in consequence of the desperate scarcity of Beady Money, they have decided to offer the whole lot, for a few weeks, at Landed Cost. Therefore call, inspect, and judge for yourself. Carter and Co., 60 and 62 George street, Dunedin. Wheeling, W. Va., Feb. 28.— A religious revival which has been in progress for several days at a place called Wells Bottom, near the town of Bay view, 0., culminated on Friday last in a riot, during which three persons are reported as having been killed and several severely injured. At the Friday evening service the pastor wrought the congregation up to a pitch of intense excitement by proclaiming that a noted infidel named Dongel had seen Jesus Christ and been converted. Mrs. Mills, an excitable woman, leaped on a bench and uttered a loud shriek. Great excitement followed, the organist struck up a tune, and Pastor Dodge yelled to the people to shout as loud as they could sothat the Lord could hear the news of their great triumph over the evil one. The command was.literally obeyed, and the people were crazed by excitement. The interior of the church was wrecked, the pulpit and Bible torn to pieces, and Dr. Dodge hurled through a window. Dongel was lifted up by the women and carried down the aisle. The excitement continued until daylight, at which time everything portable was smashed to pieces. On Saturday Dongel became a raving maniac, and carried all his money to the preacher. At the Saturday night meeting Dongel addressed Dr. Dodge as Judas IscarioU and ordered him to leave the pulpit, striking him a murderous blow with a club, fracturing his skull. He then attacked the people with the same weapon, clubbing several of them horribly. One woman was fatally injured. The fight then became general, during which several persons were frightfully beaten. The pastor, it is said, is insane. Full particulars of the remarkable occurrence hara not yefe ; been received.
