siding with their pastor, determined that he
should be buried near the church, as he hat
requested before his death, and yesterday
they dug place for the reception of his
coffin.

been filled up by order Of the Bishop, but
the people were not to be defeated, and des-
pite the efforts Of the Bishop, they again
proceeded to open it, The Bishop then
refused to open the church for the funeral,
but after a few hours delay the paop!e sue
ceeded in opening it, and it was so found
that the altar had been so fixed that Mass
could n It be celebrated. The people, how
ever sgain, triumphed. Things were
put RICH, and now (l2 oclock) Priest

have been filled all the morning with an
excited multitude.
