The exhibition of the Literary So

acquitted themselves in highly cred

educational advantages to the Rock

present care of its admirable Princi-

The superior facilities for boarding

1t is gratifying to announce that
the spirit of progress and improve
ment has once more taken possession
of our citizens. The improvements
already under way and projected,
will, when completed, add much to
the general appearance of our town.
Our graded school house, 37x75 feet
and two stories in heighth, is nearly
ready for the second tier of joist, and
will soon be enclosed.
The Methodist congregation will
commence in few weeks to build a
Church, at an estimated cost of about
fifteen thousand dollars, which, when
finished, with its towering spire, will
be conspicuous object among the
architectural adornments of the town.
Judges DeBruler and Laird, and
John Stevenson, Esq, have already
under contract a block of business
houses on Third Street, to be compile
ted the present season, comprising
four large and commodious business
houses, and which will supply want
which has deferred business men
from locating here, as / have known
within the last few months several
instances of men of capital wishing to
go into business here, but could not
find suitable business house vacant.
1t is to be hoped that others will
emulate the enterprising spirit mani
tested by the proprietors of the De-
Bruler block, and thereby encourage
the introduction and settlement of
additional capital amongst US, and at
the same time increase the trade and
prosperity of our thriving town.

DEAR Sir: As many of your Ken

last Monday at Cadiz, and heard three
rebel candidates for the State Senate
make speeches. First, was a DIR

Next, was a Col. Holt, of Galloway
County, who is the most talented man
Of the three. He served In the G. s.
A., and seemed to be the fayorite, as
as he was frequently cheered.aes3 81
Next, came the rebel General Lyon,
who burned ours, and several other
Court Houses in this part of the State,
conscripted citizens, and committed
all manner of depredations. He has
no more modesty than to ask an
Office at the hands of the same CON-
He commenced his speech
by justifying the burning of the
Court Houses; said they had been
made garrisoRs for negro troops, or
white home guards, which were no
better, thereby preventing recruits
from going South and his veterans
from visiting their homes; that he did
not burn the jails because he thought
that the Federal officers and soldiers
were good Jail birds, and that he ex-

OUR STREET COMMISSIONER.
In a recent letter I enumerated
feasance that had been preferred
against August Richter, Street Com
missioner. The City Council have
been for some time past engaged IN
trying Mr.. Richter on these charges,
and have thus far discovered nothing
discreditable to his character as an
officer or man, and he will come out
of the affair completely vindicated in
the estimation of all falr-minded
men. - So. s-.si

each is the average daily allowance.
The picnic season commenced before
the Winter SHOWS had ceased to- fall,
and will probably be kept up tile the

The horrible efiuyia arising from
streets without sewers tends to drive
the people into the country for a
breath of fresh air. Every religious,

enjoyment, but have not been highly

The Rev. Michael McCarron, ID. d., Arch
deacon Of the Archdiocese of New York.
The Catholic Church in New York has lost venerated
eccesastc the good and respected Citizen and
St Marys parish pous and energetic pastor, by the
decease of the Rev. Dr. Michael McCarron, Archdeacon
OF this Archdiocese who died at his residence in Pitt
street. in city, at four O'Clock yesterday afternoon
He mad reached his sixty fourth year and during the
past two years has been suffering from complication Of
disorders; but immediate cause of his death was
attack OF Brght's disease Of the kidneys, which had
within the last few days assumed shape that beokened
certain dissolution. The venerated Archdeacon a
native of the county OF Monaghan, Ireland where he
received his early education, after the completion Of
which he was sent TO the celebrated Maynooth College
in Kildare TO finish his theological studies Here he
NAMED until he had completed his ecclesiastical course
and was ordained priest shortly after his ordination he
to the United States nearly thirty years ago and
was first assigned TO curacy in st. James church
1.-THE present cabedral In Brooklyn where he remained
FOR about year. Subsequently he was transferred
to the pasorate Of ST. James church in this city, and
shortly afterwards appointed pastor Of St Josephs
church in the sixth avenue, where he remained until
about twelve years since, when the late Archbishop
Hughes placed him in charge OF the large congregation
worshippng in St Mary's church, Of Grand and
Pitt Streets the pasorate of which he held at the time
OF his decease The abors Of the amented archdeacon
cannot be summed up in this brief obituary
At the time Of his arrival here the Catholic community
was greatly agated on the subject of education being
led in that regard by Archbishop Hughes. Father
McCarron then in his vgor and prime entered with his
whole heart and soul into this field Of labor and amid
all the learned clergy of the Catholic communion here
seconded the efforts of the late archbishop
warmly with greater ervor than did the subject OF this
notice. He took hold Of THO matter 10 practical man
ner, and after his appointment TO the passionate OF st.
Marys made II his special business to place on firm
foundation those schools in his parish which have ever
since been such favorites in the Catholic community.
The handsome and commodous church in which St
Marys congregation now worship was under the super
vision OF Dr. McCarron brought TO its present state OF
beauty and made Of the most prominent edices OF
which the New York Catholics boast. His abors In ths
parish have been such to endear him to the hearts OF
all his coregionists while his urpanty OF manner ana
sincerity OF conviction have made him hosts OF friends
among those of his fellow citizens who differed from HIM
most widely in religious matters. The grand requiem
for the repose of his soul will be celebrated at ST.
Marys church, on Tuesday next at ten o'clock A. NJ
