miles square, 10 which there must be in-
Vulnerable hosts of them, as there is gene
rally burrow every ten steps, in which
there are two or more, and you see new
ones partly excavated on all the borders
Of the town. We killed great numbers OF
them with our rifles, and found them eS-
ceilent meat, after they were exposed q
night or two TO the frost, by which means
their rankness acquired by their subter-
raneous dwelling is corrected. As you
approach their towns, you are saluied on
all sides by the cry Of Wishtonwish from
which they derive their name with Inc
Indians, uttered in shrill and piercing
manner. You then observe them all re-
treating to the entrance OF their burrows,
where they post themselves, and regard
every even the slightest movement that
you make. Ii requires very nice shot
with rifle TO kill them, as they must be
killed dead, for as long as life exists, they
continue, TO work into their cells. 1t is
extremely dangerous to pass through their
towns, as they abound with rattle snakes,
both of the yellow and black species; and
strange as il may appear, have seen the
Wishtonwish, the rattlesnake, the horn
frog, of which the prairie abounds, (term-
ed by the Spaniards the cameleon, from
their taking no visible sustenance) and
land tortoise all take refuge in The same
bole. do not pretend to assert, that il
was their common place Of resort, but !
have witnessed the above facts more than

THE POPE'S BULL AGAINST SCHOOLS.
fIf, after the Bull against Bible Societies, any
thing more was necessary to prove the weak
ness and wickedness Of anti-christ, the following
document would be sufficient Pitiful indeed,
must be the cause, which thus shrinks from the
light-Bost. Reel

"Rome, Court of the Sacred Congregation for the
Propagation Of the Faith, Sept. is, 1919.
I" My Lord,-The prediction Of our
Lord Jesus Christ, 10 the parable of the
sower, that sowed good seed in bis field
but while people slept, his enemy cane
and sowed tares upon the wheat Mat.
xvi. "a. is, to the very great injury To-
deed Of the Catholic faith, seen verified ia
these our own days, particularly in Ire
land: for information has reached the ears
of the Sacred Congregation, that Bible
Schools, supported by the funds of the
Catholics, have been established 10 almost
every parl Of ireland, 10 which, under the
pretence of charity, the inexperienced Of
both sexes, but particularly peasants and
paupers, are allured by the Establishments
and even gifts Of the masters, and infected
with the fatal poison of depraved doc
trines. II is further stated, that the di
rectors of these Schools are, generally
speaking, Methodisis, who introduce BIZ
bIes, translated into English by the Bible
Society," aud Astounding in errors, with
the sole view of seducing the youth, and
entirely eradicating from their minds the
truths of the orthodox faith.
4" Under these circumstances, your
Lordship already perceives with what
solicitude and attention pastors are bound
to watch and carefully protect their flock
from the snares of wolves, who come in
the clothing Of sheep If the pastors
sleep, the enemy will creep in by stealth,
and sow the tares; soon will the tares be
seen growing among the wheat, aud choke

Every possible exertion must there
fore be made to keep the youth away
from these destructive schools to warn
parents against suffering their children, on
any account whatever, to be led into
error. But, for the purpose of escaping
the snares' OF the adversaries, no plan
seems more appropriate than that Of es-
tablishing schools, wherein salutary H.
structions may be impaired to paupers and
illiterate country persons.
!" In the name. then, OF the bowels (of
the mercy Of our Lord Jesus Christ, we
exhort and beseech your Lordship to
guard your flock with diligence, aud all
due discretion, from those who are in the
habit of tbrusting themselves iDsiduously
into the fold Of Christ, 10 order thereby
TO lead the unwary sheep astray and,
mindful Of the iorewarning Of Peter the
Apostle, given in these words, viz. There
shall also be lying masters among you,
who shall bring in sects Of perdition,' Q
Pet. ii s, do you labour with all your
might to keep the orthodox youth from
being corrupted by them--an object,
which will, / hope, be easily effected by
the establishing Of Catholic schools
throughout your diocese. And conf
IDENTIFY trusting, that in a matter Of such
vast importance, your Lordship will. with
unbounded zeal, eudeavour to prevent the
wheat from being chcked by the tares,
