cess by all the beauty aud fashion 10 the
neighborhood. Several Protestant ladies
attended, who we're, as is usual on such
occasions, placed 10 the most advantageous
situations, for witnessing ceremony that
never fails to excite the iiyeliest feelings
of sensibility. The young devotees sal
10 front of The gate, atiired 10 all the pomp
aud elegance of modern fashion, their
head dresses consisting of feathers, pearls
aud diamonds, the tout ensemble of which
received no small addition from the SYM
metry Of their persons, and the extreme
beauty OF their countenance. High mass
was celebrated in the most impressive
manner, whilst the responses made by the
iemaie CfOrisiers, 10 union with a grand
piano, and select band, contributed not
little to The soIemnity of the scene. 1t
would be no easy matter 10 depict the
sensations experienced by the paralyzed
spectators, upon the return of those elegant
and interesting females from an inward a.
lpartment, where they were supposed TO
have deposited the garb Of fashion and the
pomp OF dress, as symbols of their relin-
gushing the society Of the world. In spite
of the sombreness Of their newly assumed
attire, (ihe sable robe and white yeifl yet
were the bloom Of youth and the power OF
beauty too conspicuous not to insure. as
they had called up. the unspeakabie admi-
ration of the anxiously gazing assembly.
A more affecting spectacle was seldom
witnessed, there being scarcely a lady
present, whose tears did not bear testimon,
of sympalhising farewell to the lovely
nuns. Two of the young ladies, Misses
Marriott and Margaret Lombard, are the
daughters of George Lombard, esq. of thi.
town, and the other young lady, Miss Cal
iaghan, is also the daughter of highly
respectable family 10 the comfy OF Cork.

Extract of letter from Fairfield, (COa.)
TO gentleman IN this viitage, dated
Jan. 10, 1920.
Last week our supreme court closed their
winter session for this count,--Judge
Bristol presided. No case of much inl-
portance was decided-a fellow by the
name of William Stewart was convicted
on TWO informations, for passing counter
felt bills on The Newburgh bank; his con
yersauon alter he was arrested, as to his
mode of carrying his bills, SO as 10 escape
detection, occasioned some diversion
This was by procuring wooden bottle Of
the size of a common two quart wooden
bottle, with heads in il; in the middle
making apartments 10 the bottle; one of
which he filed with rum aud the other with
counterfeit bauk bills. When suspicion
was excited and any person proposed to
search him for bad bills, be always submit
ted TO it without objection; and when the
search was over, he offered the person
dram of rum out of his .bottle-sometimes
they would drink, sometimes content them
selves with shaking the bottle; never
dreaming that the same bottle might con-
tain both rum aud bank bills. During the
trial he appeared as unconcerned as any
Of the spectators aud seemed to join 10 the
merriment. -Saratoga Centinsl.

A Rider.-We were amused at the sight
of caricature on the Maine and Missouri
bill, shewn US lately. Maine is represen-
ted as a young Dandy Of 2l with the con-
siitution in his hand, walking iearlessly
over the steps Of the Capitol, in pursuit of
his patrimony. Virginia aud other slave
states, aware of his approach, aud deter
mined to deprive him Of his inheritance,
had placed themselves at the threshold;
at the moment ofthe entrance, they placed
fat Negro Wench astride his shoulders,
and toppIed him to the earth. Newhsmp-
shire appeared fastened on the victim, as
a Paroguet, picking out his eyes.

RoMIsH DECEPTION.

The senseless deception oil supereroga-
tion, the vain imagination of meriting the
favor of God BY voluntary ansterities and
sell inflicted fortunes, which are moi reqnl-
red, but forbidden in the gospel, but which
are nevertheless encouraged and highly
applauded by the policy aud pries,craft OF
Popery, still continue to deceive, bewilder
aud destroy the present peace and future
happy prospects Of mutitades. The heart
of an enlightened christian must be panied
10 reading an account like the following,
10 which the charms Of opening intellect,
mingled with those of youthful beauty, arr
sacrificed on the altar OF imposture, and
buried 10 the grave of superstition. The
perusal OF such narrative, may, under
divine influence, be the happy mean OF
causing the pious TO lift up the heart 10
earnest duplication to that God, who can
dispel the darkness Of such false devotion.
aud cause TO be abolished such impious
selEimmolation, that he would send abroad
the light and influence Of his gospel, aud
dispose the hearts of all his friends TO be
active in its dissemination through the
world. 1t is this influence only which
can rectify the moral disorders of our race,
and inspire the hope Of blessed immor-
tally. Watchman.
