The ravages of the potito ret in this connty

who sold their crops early in the season. Va

geous and imposing ediices, devoted 10 religion:
exercises, in the country. Ii is one hundred and
forty feet long. sixty feet wide. with concavt
ceiling ranging from thirty four to fifty -four
feet in height. The walls aud ceiling are richly
irescoed Fourteen large lsncet-pointed arch
windows, one compound ogee arch, and one
circular window-diamond sash, with stained
glass
Fill with holy light the wOndrous fame"
The GROWING diamond of each sash is adorned
with a symbol of the church. These windows

The Temple is contributed in the Gothic sty lie
of architecture, in which are embodied the wor-
Shipping principle in mantle loving reverence
for that which is highest and hottest, and the
sentiment Of Christian brotherhood These
harmonies expressed IN the principal lines
which are all veItcal-thai il, aspring--tendipg
upward: in the circumst ance that the whole mass
falls under or within the pyramdal form which
is that of flame, or fire, sy mbolical of love: in
the pointed character OF all the openings. which,
as expressive of frmHess of base denotes en-
bracngness of tendency and upward ascension as
its ultimate aim, aud in the clustering and group
ing of its multiple parts. Gothic architecture
being thus representative rather of the unity of
love than of the diversities of faith, il seems
proper that it should be the style for all eccles-
iastical and other purposes having reference TO
religious lie.
Three affairs have been improvised for conse-
Grafton services. and will be used until new ones
are constructed; and a temporary pulpit will also
be used for the present The sanctuary is large
and grand in all It's appointments. On the south
side. by the main altar, is statuary painting of
Peter. with the keys of Heaven. aDd. on the
north side a similar painting Of Paul with the
sword. Before the days of dedication, several
statues in relieyo will be placed over the side
affairs
Altogether, the paintings. devices, statusry.
etc are calculated to impress the beholder with
profound reverence. Even in its present unfD =
ished state, we traverse the spacious temple with
a SOFT silent step, overawed by the solemnity of
the surroundings. We feel, although the sacred
fires have not been lighted upon the slt,rs, snd
the halleluj abs chsnted in choir, that the pres
ence of a divinity hallows the spot that the
wings of a presiding cherubim are extended over
he affairs.
The. construction Of this edifce is due to the
untiring zeal of Rev. Father Mayer. who has en-
deared himself TO his charge by his devotion and
deep piety, and to the people Of all denomina
tons by his urbasity and social qualities Hunt
