TRINITY CHURCH, AND TRINITY
SCHOOL,

To the Editors.-Among the many inter
esting scenes which crowded on the eye Of
the hokeE-on at the sonsecrstSns of th,s tr=ly
magnificent building, one the most interest
by any Of the descriptions. Perhaps my pc
sition gave be a better opportunity TO witness
IT. ] stood in the south aisle of the church.
Expectation was on tiptoe and every one seem
ed uneasy and inpatient. Ope asked who
shall enter first and all seemed greed that
the acting Bishop OF course would precede,
oiiowed by the clergy of the Diocese. A buzz
passed from end TO end OF the church that the
procession was approaching. Every eye was
strained to see. Every ear was open to catch
the hrst sound ofthe Bishops voice. Silence,
deep solemn silence, held every breat tn as the
regular tread OF the procession is heard enter
ing the porch. a moment more aud every
heart seemed TO bound as though something
unexpected and OF more than ordinary interest
was seen; every tongue would have shouted
Tor JOY, but the s~olemni;y of the place repress-
ed 1t and tears OF gladness covered many a
beautiful face. sprung upon a scat to see
what this overcoming sight was. and never,
never shall | forget the thrill OF that moment.
A clergyman in his robes, of noble personal
appearance entered the door Leading by the
hand two lovely little boys--who were fol-
lowed by a large procession. An old man
Who stood near me seemed. actuated by the
same feeling, for he raised his feeble hands 10
heaven and audibly blessed God that he had
lived TO see that day. lie said that since the
great Masonic procession lat which be was
presently when Gen. Washington walked i'm,
similarly leading two children by the hands,
ne had seen nothing TO compsre to il. lie
then thought Masonry was the Church OF
Christ which embraced all within It's arms.
But cIied the old man "blesse be God. / have
found the Church, and this day have settled
every wayenng doubt. This Is certainly OF
him who commended the little children 10 be
brought to him." and lighting up with an am
imation which astOnished those around. the
old man said, ''Mark those two children; they
will yet be amongst the most distinguished
men OF our countTy-honofed for their patriot
ism, and loved for their religion: and that
clergyman will draw many supporters 10 the
church, and bring many sinners TO convers,on.
Mark well my words. Ny race is now run.
You will sec il, ! cannot" sat down under
the deep feeling of the moment, and in inv
heart exclaimed; "lf forget thee let INV rigb,

Accounts of the l tn instant have been received

their number had not been increased for two

There were various rumors in Matamoras in re-
