/ Sr. yPAuL's CATHOLIC CHURcH.-Passion week
has been celebrated by tho devout in. the
city with tho solenlnity due the occasion; but
preparations have boon made at the close Of Lent
to prepare for the Grand Jubilee of Easter. We
had the pleasure Yesterday evening Of inspecting
the interior of st. PauI's German Catholic Church
in Society street, and from casual glance can
safely assert that in ihe point of decorations, Or
naments, &C., it can hardly be excelled. The re-
pository of the Holy Sacrament has been fitted up
by the fair hands Of the ladies Of the congregation
and reflects great credit upon their good taste and
skill. It is placed in floral recess, which is
lighted by one hundred candles, and presents
beautiful appearance from the body Of the church.
| This recess is composed of five arches made Of
eversreens and flowers, the latter being natural
roses, and the whole, when lighted by the numerous
candles, forms an ornament that has bo:n rarely
euualled in point Of beauty. The ladies Of tho
congregation have made these decorations their
especial study, and the pleasing result is princ-
pally due to their exertions.
The WENTWORTH STREET SCHOOL EXAMINATION

Second Baptist). The house was very much
crowded, and among the audience we observed
| General D. E. S1oKLEs, General R. Z. ScoTT, Cen

Rev W. II. MooD, Rev. E. J. MEyNABD1E, Rev. Jo-
sEpH SEABRooK, Rev. A. TooMER PORTER, and
other citizens.
The exercises opened with singing, and the
| voices of the children sounded very sweet. They
| sang well and kept excellent time. The programme
was long one but the house being altogether
unsuited to such an exhibition, it was necessary to
omit considerable part of it. There was as we
have said, very large crowd in the church, all
the doors and windows open, and noisy, paved
street just outside, with cars and other vehicles
continually rattling over it, tho consequence was
that only now and then could the children be heard
in their recitations. Mr.. ToMLNsoN, the Super
mtendent of Education, stated to the audience
that at the close of the next term he hoped this
school would have a building in all respects
adapted for school-house; that the Society under
whose auspices this school was being conducted,
the American Missionary Associa ton, had pur-
chased fine lot in thi city, upon which commo-
dious building is to be erected, with room suff-
cient for 400 pupils It is to be finished by Octo-
Der, and designed for Normal High School.
sDear Mother, Remember we'll" was sung
with much expression and that inimitable pathos
which children's voices alone can give.
The dialogue of 'sRobin and Snipes" was admi-
rably rendered. Robin acquitted himself excel
lontly well,
A few of the more advanced boys showed very
creditaple progress in Mental Arithmetic, and one
Of them particularly went through the several
stops of a somewhat complex exercise, explaining
every step with an intelligence and precision,
which showed aptness on his part and careful
training by the teacher.
ga Hymn to the Flowers" was very well read by
girl belonging to The lst class. She read loud
enough to make herself heard in every part Of the
house, and with much expression. We recollect
her reading last year. and were much pleased with
it then.
There we're examinations in other branches
also, but we found great difficulty in hearing the
answers, md can therefore not say much about
them.
There we're some excellent maps drawn by girls
belonging to the school, both on the blackboard
and on paper.
The children all wore well dressed, neat and
tidy, and on the whole, we believe, impressed the
audience fayorably.
AS we gave the statistics of the School last woek,
we will not repeat them.

IT IS estimated that five million beings arc daily
suffering from various diseases of the throat and
lungs, and one-ffth annually die from consump-

strike the observing mind that science, with her
many appliances, could arIest such fearful NOR"
