An ACCOMMODATING RAILROAD -
Rockland correspondent of the Ban
gor Wig relates the following: "a
very generous and accommodating
railroad the road from Calais to
Princeton carries Indians at half
price, ana ministers and their families
for nothing. A few weeks since, while
passing on that road, gentleman
spoke to minister about an old man
who was sick unto death, and wished
linn to call and pray for him. The
clergyman asked the conductor if be

Mn EDIToR;

Mn EDIroR:
You, doubtless, are aware that when
St Adams became celebrated as a
Port of Entry, the Missisquoi river
was transplanted from Swsnton and
Highgate- leaving Sheldon, its course
was directed Southerly this vii
lage. Under this new dispensation,
it now runs through Judge Hoyt's
farm, within the limits Of "RoeuMe. -
1t strikes us that upon this beautiful
sheet of water the new paper mill
should be located. 1t is preferable to
"Aldis' Brook" as the establishment
would always be sure of supply OF
,cater in dry time, and would tend tc
make it (the river a permanent thing
in our village, in spite of the efforts o
Swanton aud Highgate to reclaim it.
Yours, truly,

INoPPoRTUNE "REMINISCENCES. - The new
Bishop of Rochester CDR. Claughton) is wanted
to live at Rochester, instead of in Essex, like
his predecessor. But those who make the
suggestion have hardly acted wisely (says
local paper) in coupling it with recollection
of the fact that the Bishop of Rochester who
last resided in that city was beheaded. This
was John Fisher, first Lady Margaret's Pro-
fessor of Divinity in the University of Cam
bridge; for that illustrious dame was his
patroness. Fisher lost his head, as the only
man then wearing the mitre who was indepen-
dent and honest enough to refuse his signature
to statement that the marriage of Henry
VIII with Catharine of Aragon was unlawful,
and who would not join, at that monarch's
demand, in denying the POpe's supremacy.
He therefore fell victim to his frmness and
sincerity, and is entitled to respectful remem-
brance. Bishop Claughton was happier in
following Baxter at Kidderminster than Fisher
at Rochester.

CARDINAL CULLEN ON FENIANIsM.


Cardinal Cullen, in pastoral on the devo-
tions peculiar to the month of May, read in the
various churches and chapels of the diocese of
Dublin last Sunday, alluding to Fenianism,
straightforward brethren, beg of you to use
your influence during this month to Danish
every remnant of Feniauism from your
spectiVe parishes, Those who took part In that
unhappy system must now see that, while they
rejected all friendly advice, they put their lives
at the mercy of spies and informers, the most
wicked and degraded class of human beings.
Exhort all who have been led astray, and who
joining secret organization, to retrace their
sions and TO determine to shun for the future all
those societies which are so wisely condemned
by The Church. When those who have gone
astray show signs of true repentance the
Church will act as a tender mother towards
them. While condemning the evil deeds of
secret societies, from which we may expect
nothing good we cannot be Indifferent to the
sad ana falling state of our country. The
people are still flying from the land, and nearly
100000 of its people have emigrated; our
towns and villages are decaying, trade and
commerce are at stand, ruin and desolation
are spreading on every side Can such a state
of things be amended by human wisdom or
are our rulers able to encounter such difficult
ties? The Scriptures say:-'Do not put your
trust in princes, in the children of men, in
whom there is no salvation But, dearly be.
loved, let us put our great confidence in God, il,
and humbly Invoke His protection. Let us
recommend our country and ourselves to the
powerful tercession of the blessed Mother
Of God, and our hopes will not be frustrated"
