DEATH or ARCHBISHOP BLANc.--1t will pain the
Catholic community in this and the other Southern
States to know that the Right Rev. Archbishop
Blanc is dead. He died suddenly at his residence

according to the state of the deceased.

lieyed the appointments will be made known

Two HONEST BoYs,-The benefit of advertising
has been happily shown, in a case which almost
| precluded the hope Of any benefit A poor man
Of our acquaintance, few days since had the mis-
fortune to lose sl55, al the money or means lie was
possessed Of He was advised to advertise his loss
and he did 10, in this paper. Yesterday afternoon
two young boys, brothers, called at office, as
| directed by the advertisement, with the money.
Though no definite reward had been promised the
| boys were paid better than they seemed to have
expected; in fact, they were not disposed to claim
any reward. It gives us much pleasure to make
honorable mention Of these boys, who are poor.

the steamboats,, racing on the wharf, and exhibit
| ing their nudity in all possible ways. Our inform
ant complained because this was great scandal
to numerous respectable ladies who were neces
sary in the immediate vicinity, and because no
officer was at hand to arrest the boys. 1t was al

/ the rowdy boys when they battle in the river

/ important changes in the Fire Department, o
4 which we presume the public and the Fire Depart
