THE PRIESTS AND THE FENIANs-A cor respondent of the Montreal Msaeroe writes that, after the R.. c. Plenary Council in Baltimore broke up, a number of the bish- ops proceeded to Washington and called together on President Johnson. The in- ,terview was private, but it is believed that amongst other recommendations the. bish- ops requested the President not to mislead the Fenians, and excite their evil passions by an indulgence out of reason.

OYSTERS IN CONNECTICUT Norwich Bulletin says that on the first of this month !" the oyster law was off and everybody who had boat and oyster tongs went to work at the beds if the river between here and New London. One hundred and five boats were counted yesterday morning, in each of which was one or two men, fishing and seraping for dear life. How many bushels were taken during the day we have no means of ascertaining, but from the number at work at it, we should suppose the market will be well supplied for a while. Our river oysters last year were un- usually fine they arc full, fat, and of ex- cellent flavor, but, unfortunately, that is no criterion for this year, as they vary much each season.

A BRIDAL RACE IN AsrA

The conditions of the bridal race are these:, a ''.o The madden has a certain start oivan which she avails herself of to pain 1s,,fl. cient distance from the crowd to enahIe bar to manage her steed with freedom. so as -, tn l assist the pursuit of the st1iter whom she
 prefers. On signal from the father all l horses gallop after the fair one,4 and who. ever first succeeds in encircling her waist with his arm, no matter whether disagree
 able or not to her choice, is entitled to
 claim her as his wife After the usual de-. lay incident upon such occasions, the maid-
 en quits the circleaof her relations, and put ting her steed into swift and terrible hand gallop, darts into an .open plain. When satisfied with her position she turns round
 to the impatient youths, and stretches out
 her arms toward them as if to woo their
 approach. This is the moment for giving
 the signal to commence the chase, and each
 of the impatient youths, dashing his, point
 cd heels into his courser's sides, darts like
 the unhooded hawk in pursuit. of his fugi-
 tave dove. The savannah was extensive,
 full twelve miles long and three in width.
 and as the horsemen sped across the plain
 the favored lover became soon apparent by the efforts of the maiden to avoid all others
 who might approach her. At length, after
 two hours racing the number of pursuers
 is reduced to four, who are all together, and gradually gaining on the pursued. With them IS the favorite; but alas! his horse sud
 denly fails in his speed; and as she anxious
 y turns her head, she perceives with dis may the hapless position of her lover. Each of the more fortunate leaders, eager with anticipated triumph, bending his head to his horses mane shouts at the top of his voice, II come, my Peri, I'm your loy- er." But she making 8 sudden turn, and flashing her horse almost to fury, darts across their path, and makes for that part of the plain where her lover is vainly en- deavoring to goad on his weary steed. The three others check their career; but, in | the hurry to turn back, two of the, horses are dashed furiously against each other, so | that both steeds and riders roll over the plain. The maiden laughed flor she well knew she could eltlde the single horseman) and flew to the point where her lover was. Her only pursuer was rarely mounted, and | not so easily shaken off Making last and ! desperate effort, he dashed alongside the maiden, and stretching out hisdarm almost won the unwilling prize; but she, bending her head to the horses neck, eluded his grasp and wheeled off. Ere the discomfit- ed horseman could again approach her, her lovers arm was around her waist, and amidst the shouts of the spectators, they turned towards the fort. 'Fl
