says he is a Catholic priest from France,
appears in the Richmond. Va, papers. de-
claring that he has "resigned all iunctiors
of the sacredotal ministry" after having
discharged for two years the pastoral func-
tions of a Catholic congregation. attended
by German and French people living in
Richmond. He gives among others, the
following reasons therefor: o.

Sarcastic Sentence.

Old Elias Keyes, formerly first Judge OF
Windsor County, w., was strange COM
position Of folly, and good sense, of natu-
raj shrewdness and want Of cultivation.
The following sentence, it is said, was
pronounced upon poor ragged fellow
convicted of stealing pair Of boots from
General Curtis, man Of considerable
wealth, in the town OF Windsor:
Well" said the Judge, very gravely.
before pronouncing sentence Of court, un-
der,aking to read 1 following lecture,
I" you're fine fellow to be arraigned be-
fore cour, for stealing. They say you
are poor-no one doubts it who looks at
you, and how dare you, being poor, have
the impudence % steal pair Of boots
Nobody but rich people have a right TO
take such things without paying! Then
they say you are worthless-that is evil
dent from the fact that no one has ever
asked justice 10 be done you all. by unan-
imous consent, pronounced you guilty
before you were tried. Now, you, being
worthless, was fool 10 steal, because you
might know you would be condemned.
And you must know that it was great
aggrava,on that you have stolen them in
the large town Of Windsor. In that large
town TO commit such an act is most horri.
bic. And not only 60 into Windsor to
steal, but you must steal from that great
man, General Curtis. This caps the eli.
max Of your iniquity. Base wretch. why
did you no, 60 and steal the only pair Of
boots which some poor man had, or could
get, and then you would have been lei.
alone nobody would have troubled tn en-
selves about the act. For your iniquity in
stealing in the great town Of Windsor,
and from the great General Curtis. the
court sentences you to three months i'm
prisonment in the county Jail, and may
Sod give you something to eat"
