The peasantry OF the courties Of Dublin,
Wicklow, &c in Ireland, seem to labor under
strange illusion. lnorder to arrest the raw
ages OF the cholera what is called "blessed
turf" that is piece Of burning turf, is seized
by one person, who runs, as il for his life, to
serve seven neighbors with it; the neighbors
are each bound to carry the "Blessed turf" to
seven others, that the live turf may, through
their instrumentality, touch every place and
ever soil in the landl The fir carriers appear
like creatures beside themselves, and run Wild
ly, bareheaded and bare-iooted ON their benev-
oent errand. They appeared on the Three
Rock Mountains in the vicinity Of Dublin on
Tuesday coming from the interior Of Wick
low, they telegraphed the alarm to Kinsdale
and Cork, by Wednesday-on the same day
the fire carriers appeared at Cavan, in the
north, and they have reached Donegal and
Fermanagh II has been attempied(says the
Dublin Advertiser,) to give political conf
plexion to this extraordinary and fantastic

perstition, to be traced perhaps even earlier
than the introduction Of Christianity into the
island, used with view Of auesting the pes
tilemce which is now devastating so many
