thus, the other 70 5,anisiaus, Archbishop
of Mohilcw. In these briefs are found
passages taken as we'll from the Holy =
Scriptures, as from tradition, and collat-
ed with care and judgment TO show no"
injurious this subtle invention is to ialth
and morality.
"And we also, venerable brethren, in
the discharge OF our apostolic duty, ex-
hort you to remove your focks with
care and earnestness from this fatal pas
ture. Reprove, intreat, insist on all oe-
casions, with all doctrine and PATIENCE
in order that the faithful, attaching them
selves exactly to the rulers of our con-
gregation of the Index, may be persuade
ed, that if they let the Holy Scriptures
be indiscriminately translated into the
vulgar tongues, there will result, IN con-
sequence OF the rashness OF men, more
evil than good.
.sThis is a truth demonstrated by ex-
perience and which ST. Augustine more
than all the other fathers, has made
known by their words There have been
forged heresies and perverse dogmas,
which involve the souls of men in their
snares, and drag them dawn the abyss
only because the Holy Scriptures have
not been we'll understood, and, because
having ill understood them, men have
supported their false interpretations with
rashness and audacity!
Such, venerable brethren is the ten.
dencv of this soeiety. which. besides,
omits nothing for the accomplishment OF
its inpious wishes; for it boasts not on
ly of printing the TRANSACTIONS, but dis
seminatlng them by going through the
towns; and there 10 sedoce tie simple
by perfidious liberality, choose to dis.
tribute them gratuilously.
ave exhort you not to let your cou.,.
rage be cast down. You will have for
you, aud for this we rely with confidence
on tie Lord, the power of Secular Prin-
ces, who as reason and experience shows
defend their own cause in defending that
Of the authority of the Church; for ne
yer will it be possible for man to render
unto Caesar the things which arc
Caesars, without rendering unto God
the things which ART Gods. You will
also have for you, to speak as ST. Eeom
did, the good Offices of our ministry to-
wards you all. In your crosses, in yous
doubts, and all your necessities, have re-
course TO this Apostolic guidance. For
God, as St. Augustine said, has placed
the doctrine OF truth in the chair of unity

Ertract Of letter from gentleman re-
siding at the Prairie du Chein, 10
CAPT. S. Perkins, Of this city, dated
July 10, 1924.
I" Two days since keel boat arrived
from ST Peters, on board OF which, were
Mai. Biddlc, Capt Gooding, Capt.
M'Cabe, and others. They brought a
most distressing piece OF intelligence.
As they were coasling along the shore Of
Lake Pepin, Maj. B. discovered tour
dead bodies on the beach, to appearance
recently murdered. On inspection, they
were all recognized, and found to be
party of men sent by a Mr.. Brunau, mer-
chant Of this place, 20 ST. Peters, for the
purpose Of collecting money. 1t sup
posed that the murder was committed by
the Sioux Indians. The persons killed.
were, Findlay, Crawford, Depous, and
Berret. Last spring two soldiers desert
ed from ST. Peters, and were both mur-
dered on the shore OF Lake pepin, with.
in or miles Of the place where this
last murder was committed. Last falk
Swiss family, coming through from
Red River to St. Peters, were attacked
by the Indians-the vile and husband
were killed, aud their two sons taken
prisoners. The Governor OF the Red
River country wrote to Col. Smelling,
requesting him to use all means to OBJ
tain the lads, as they were of a very veal
thy and respectable family, and Col.
Smelling has sent detachment of troops,
under The command Of Lieut.. Green, to
obtain the boys, if practicable. The ex-
pedition is deemed q hazardous one
and the result is doubtful. Eight per-
sons have been murdered between this
and beyond St. Peters, since last fall.
Something, I hope, will shortly be done
to check the insolence of these savass
rascals, or our travelling on the Upper
Mississippi will be put stop to-"
