CoMMEM GRAFTON OF ST. LOUIS.
The festival Of Louis 9th of France,
the titular Saint of our town, was So
lemnized atour Cathedral on Sunday,
the 18th inst. under the auspices of the
Re Rev. Bishop Du Bourg. The cere-
mony was one of peculiar interest and
novelty, particularly to member of
the American inhabitants, who were
politely invited by the Bishopto Join in
the festival. The character of Louis is
one of equal pride and satisfaction to
the soldier or to the Christian-for he
may be truly ranked amongst the most
chivairous of the heroic age, and as one
of the most pious and devout of the
followers of the Cross. The idea Of
infaNatlon that would attach to a cru
sader of the nineteenth century. cannot
fairly be fixed upon Louis. He lived
In an age Of comparative barbarism,
and mental darkness; but he was the
light of his day, all the incentives of
heroism, religion, and the emulation
which excited the princes of Europe to
the holy wars, operated on his mind IN
hurryiDg him along with the great tor
rent of Christendom, upon the Saracen
hosts of Palestiae.
The citizens of the place generally
felt kind OF local pleasure in partici-
pating with the rev. clergy on the occa
sion, and doing honor to the memory
of the man whose name has been con-
