Sr. PETERS CHURoH CoLUMBIA.-The Phoenix
Of yesterday says: Among the many improve
ments going on in our city, we must not omit to
mention that now being effected in the house of
worship OF our Catholic fellow citizens. The ex-
terror is being renewed In appearance, by a coat
i'll imitation Of dark-brown sandstone; the inte-
rior has been thoroughly repaired, and the tower
ing cross and the gilt inscriptions renewed by re-
gliding and rebronzing.
This structure was founded in 1924, and since
then the increase OF the congregation necessita-
ted it's room extension. 1t escaped destruction
on the memorable night Of the 18th February,
1856, by becoming the refuge Of the Sisters Of
Mercy, who had retired there after the destruction
OF their own institution, on Main street-to which
may be added the noble conduct of some Federal
soldiers, who kept guard, we understand, at the
main entrance.
The present improvements are being carried on
under the supervision Of Mr.. JAMES A. DEARMAN,
contractor. The present pastor, the Rev. DIR. 5.
J. OCoNNELL, has labored for many years in this
church, and with complete success. The congre-
cation is large and increasing.

I'VE cannot close this notice without quoting
the sad lines written by 'HARRY" las we al used
to know him), several years ago, but prophetically
descriptive OF the final hour that witnessed the
going out OF the brilliant light
