ST.. PATRICK CELEBRATIoN.-Th celebration of
the 18th March by the st. Patrick Benevolent
Society was one of the most creditable and
pleasant affairs it has been our pleasure to wit
ness for long time. The procession presented
fine appearance in every respect The green
banner of the Emerald Isle mingled in fitting
harmony with the glorious Stars aud Stripes of
our own loved Republic, and the Golden Harp
the emblem of Erins greatness, shone out with
resplendent ustre. The music was most excel
lent The Grafton was an honor to the orator,
and reflected the greatest credit upon the So
ciety. If we are not mistaken in our historical
readings the 18th of March is the day cousecra-
ted to the death and Immortality of the illus
triOus Saint, which according to our poor recol-
lection occurred on Wednesday, the 18th of
March, A d., 4G5, and not the day celebrated to
commemorate his birth.
