OF. eATlCk 3 eSteruay TINS
new, large, and beautiful Catholic
Church, in Gold Hill, was opened for
Divine service, for the first time-the
Rev. Fathers Monogue, Kelly and Meagh-
er officiating in the solemn and turly in
terestiug ceremonies. The exercises
| consisted of mass ut s o'clock, A. NJ,
High Mass at IL o'clock NJ, and u ser
mon on the Sacrifice and Ceremonies
used therein, by the Rev. Father Kelly;
and vespers at u o'clock P. NJ, with a
sermon on the characteristics Of the
Church, by Rev. Father Meagher. A
large choir, with instrumental music,
accompanied the services. We attend
ed the High Mass ceremonies, and felt
deeply interested, especially in the ser
mon Of Rev. Father Kelly on the Sacrifice
and its Ceremonies, which we had never
heard explained before. Father Kelly
is a thoroughbred and well educated
priest, besides q most eloquent speaker.
The congregation was very large, there
not being a vacant seat in the whole
house-quite a number of Protestants
from other churches being witnesses to
the opening ceremonies, being kindly
invited to seats among the congregation.
Where the Temples Of the Great Jeho-
yah are reared, there is the home of in
telligence and religion.
ALMOST A DuEL.-0n Saturday some
misunderstanding occurred between the
proprietors of two fashionable cigar
stands in Virginia. After exhausting
the German language and oil the Eng
lish they had command Of in vile cpl
thets, finally concluded to settle the
matter according to the "code." Each
party feeling his dignity had been in
suited, called in his friend to make the
necessary arrangements for the contest.
The gentlemen called upon being fond
Of a good joke, took the matter in hand
and proceeded to send a challenge from
Mr.. F. to Mr.. P. The challenge was
promptly accepted by P. and the time
was set for the deadly contest to take
place. Both parties as the time drew
near became frightened and wanted to
settle, but the seconds would not hear
TO il. In order to prevent them from
getting together and embracing one an
other, in even more than brotherly en-
brace, Mr.. F. was informed that there
was no danger. Fear then fed from
him and his nerves became steady, so
fight he would. Poor P. was less for
tunate, not knowing how safe he would
be if he went to the field, and finally
told his second he would not fight, which
was a very sensible idea.
