CATHOLIC LoYALrY.-The Roman Catho-
lie bishops, clergy and laity throughout
the country, nave thus far nobly responded
to the call for the preservation of the Union
by exhibiting their loyalty in the most use
tuland conspicuous manner. The Jesuit
Callege, in Georgetown, Maryland, has
been placed at the disposal of the New
York Sixty-ninth regiment for quarters;
and the Roman Catholic College of St.
Thomas, of Villanova, in Delaware county,
Pennsylvania, belonging to the Agustinian
order has likewise been generously offered
of that locality. The offer has been ac-
cepted. The buildings and grounds are
very spacious, some three hundred acres of
finely cultivated land being in the posses
sion of the tathcrs.-N. \. Herald.

it is sure to regulate the bowels. Depend upon
1t mothers, it will give rest to yourselves and
relief and health to your infants. Perfectly
safe in all cases. See advertisement in another

NARY TME.-We see the paragraph going
tho rounds that the Nevada Rifles had required
its members to take the army oath and that
mono refused. 1t is not True the company
passed resolutions compelling its members
TO take the oath, and failure to comply mem
bcrs were to be stricken from the roll. A few
individuals who are feeding the pap of
county offices, and one or tive who want to, re-
fused.

SECESSION CoLoRs.-A letter came to the

The letter directed to gentleman who is

PINE STREET BRIDGE.-The Board of Trus-
tees Of the city have advertised for proposals
to erect a trestle work bridge across Deer Creek
on the site of the old Pine Street affair. The
specifications call for rooted bridge which will
be three hundred feet in length or thcreabouts
and ten feot higher than the old one. Prepo-
sails will be received till June 9th. The plan
is good one and the cost will come within the
means which can be raised to build it. There
is good opening here for mechanics.
