The Revival of Leprosy.— It is stated in 
some of the foreign journals that this terrible 
disease of the Scriptural era, and which was en¬ 
demic throughout Europe from the tenth to the 
sixteenth century, is now developing itself in 
various jiarts of the world with all its ancient 
repulBivc characteristics. It prevails extensively 
in two widely sundered countries, the West in¬ 
dies and Norway. In the latter, according to 
statistics recently published, there are no less 
than two thousand lepers. The tubercular form 
of the disorder, which is much more common, 
and unfortunately much more horrible than that 
which alTects the joints, is pronounced by the 
physicians incurable. Meanwhile, it is satis¬ 
factory to know that it is not contagions. Mul¬ 
titudes of lepers perished miserably in the early 
ages, abandoned to their fate in consequence of 
the universal belief that whosoever touched 
them must necessarily share in their calamity. 
The malady is very rare in this country, and it is 
hoped that it will be a- long time before we are 
afflicted with this scourge.

State Convention. 
The N. Y. Times of July 26, contains a “call” 
for the “ loyal electors” of this State to meet in 
“ their respective Assembly Districts on or be¬ 
fore the first Monday in August next, and ap¬ 
point two delegates to attend a State Convention 
to convene at Saratoga SpringB on Thursday, 
the 9th of August next, to appoint delegates to 
the National Union Convention,” which, the 
“National Union Committee” says, will be 
held in Philadelphia on the 14th of August. 
Besides t he appointment of National delegatee, 
the “call” says the State Convention is to 
“ transact such other business as may be deemed 
best calculated to unite tbe loyal citizens of the 
State in sustaining the Administration, and in 
restoring relations of brotherhood among the 
people of the States.” The “ call ” further says: 
“By the language aud spirit of the call, it will 
be perceived that those who refused their sup¬ 
port to the Government, in putting down the 
rebellion, aud those who approve of the action 
of Congress in keeping loyal Representatives out 
of their seats, and loyal States out of the Union, 
are excluded from the invitation, and are not 
expected to participate in the preliminary meet¬ 
ings, or to take seats in the Convention.” 
The document is dated New York, July 19,186(5, 
to which is appended the names of twenty-one 
prominent citizens, the three first of which are 
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Marshall O. Roberts and 
William B. Astor.

sons, rendered homeless, while, the value of the 
property destroyed may reach *15,000,000. The
