Mrs WOOD, THE PEERLESS ENGLISH Sose.
STRESS, IN a CONVENT The following accoun,
Of Mrs Wood s conversion to Catholicism, which
we find in Wilmer & Smiths European Times, Of
the 4lh inst. wifi be read with great interest by
that lady's numerous admirers in this country: E.
This lady, SO well known in the United States,
has occupied much attention. lately, from tke cir.
cufnstance of her having embraced the Roman
Catholic religion, with the intention Of taking the
: veil. "A Yorkshire newspaper published in the
district where Mrs. Wood and her husband have
lived of late years, states that the lady has had
leaning TO Catholicism since 1886, when she first
visited America with her present husband, ARISING
out of the following crcums tances: In that year
she gave her gratuitous services to a rcig ious
Catholic societyin Boston, and afterward she had
small testimonial presented to her, 'singGlarly
and beautifully written tinted paper. The fol-
lowing is a copy: "Madam-- This is but slight
token OF the orphans grattude-butitis haowed
by the orphans prayer. Whatever is happiness
on earth may it be yours-and when earth's labors
are done, may those exquisite and thrilling
which have relieved our wants, be blended with
the seraph voices around the throne of God in
Heaven. Written by an orphan. . .. 80
q This affecting testimonial has preyed upon, her
mind ever since, and often has she expressed her
admiration Of the religion and beauty which she
there became more directly conversant with. To
the impression this circumstance made upon her.

Of the local papers:--- :
