RoGATIeN DAYs.-Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday next are Rogation days, which
are always observed on the three days pre-
ceeding Ascension Day. These are called
Rogation days or days Of prayer, because on
these days the itanies are sung in the
churches, and in Catholic countries process
sions are formed, as on St. Marks day, to
ask of God that he would turn away his
wrath, which we have merited by our sins,
and that he would bestow upon us temporal
benedictions, and, particularly, that he
would accord in abundance the fruits of
the earth
In most Catholic churches, Rogation DAYS
are days of abstinence. Abstinence is not
of obligation IN this diocese; nevertheless.
we should conform to the spirit of the
Church by making this time a period of
penitence and prayer; but the recitation OF
the Litapy of the Saints is not of obligation
On the simple faithful
These ceremonies and prayers of the
Church are full of instruction. For many
years, we have been visited by SO many
scourges, that men, in their pride, are COM
PEELED to acknowledge that in spite of them
eelves, they are dependent On the power
full arm Of God, and that it il equally their
interesttand duty to bend before His justice

independent papers in the country, and it's
editor and proprietor, Mr.. Spelling, reflects
credit upon his Alma Mater--the venerable
University Of Georgetown.

THE PArAL SUBscRIPrfoN.-We call the
particular attention Of our readers to our

what like an advertisement avert
from it the attention of certain readers who
cannot afford to buy anything, but are
always rich enough to give. Many persons
hesitate occasionally to bestow charity
simply because uncertain whether the pro-
posed object of it is worthy. Z In the oppor-
tunity here offered, there is no room for a
scruple of that sort. No better destination
can be found for the surplus means which
God has given than the support of the cause
which involves His honor. While Europe
is awakening to the Importance of the occa-
sion, let not America slumber on in indif-
ference. '-,... go

Rxvnw OF rHS WEEK.
CITY CoUNc1L.-The business transacted
by both Boards of Council this week was
unimportant. The Treasurer submitsed
project for Withdrawing city currency. He
recommended the sale of the markets and
wharves for three years; tocolleot the per-
sonal tax assessed for 1865, and levy a
special tax of one per cent for 1859 and 1870
on real estate-thus the debt Of "a, OOO, 600
will be iquidated. Mr.. Avegno submitted
lottery scheme looking to the Same end,
which was referred.
A resolution was passed prehibitine the
Treasurer ffom paying any moro city money,
and authorizing him to issue certificates of
indebtedness instead. - =.
-rr Mr.. Sullivan urged the adoption of
measures to secure q better supply ofwater.
Mr.. Kearney, lately appointed To the As
sistant Board, took his seet,i ,1f3i MA Al
Mr. Dewees's resolution autiinrixink the
City Surveyor to employ two hundred men
to clean out the draining canals, was de-
feated by the casting vote Of the President
JUDIc1AL.-The only case Of importance
before our courts this. week was that Of the
Receiver of the First National Bank sRainst
Robert Watson. The principle involved
was Of some Importance. The defendent
refused payment Of q note held by the
Bank, as it was held by Thomas P. May,
and simply represented q transaction be-
tween May and James E. Duaham, given
in the temporary absence of Durham in
place ofanother note of less amount, execu
ted by Durham in favor of May for three
hundred and fifty shares of the capital
stock of the bank, which stock May held as
security, and which he continued to hold.
Therefore May was the real debtor of the
bank. The history of this transaction ex-
hibits some sharp practice, not unusual
among keen fnanciers, and the intricacy of
which it would not pay to endeavor to elu-
cidate in the present case. We,win there
fore merely give the decision Of the Court
In this case, the Court having duly con
sidered the Pleadings and evidence, and be-
ing of opinion that the law and the evil
dence are in favor of defendant, it ia ad-
judged and decreed that there be- .iudg-
ment for the defendant, Robert Watson,
with costs.
. SEWERAGE.-Loud complaints have been
rung in the ears of the authorities respect
ing the INSTRUCTED and defective sewerage of
the city, hitherto unavailingly. Now, ii is
almost too late in the season to un dertake
a thorough reparation and cleansing, for
experience has taught US that it is highly
prejndicial to health to expose to summer
sun the excavations OF our soil Still, some-
thing should be done to secure even better
sanitary condition of the streets and yards.
IMPORTANT ARREsT.-on Friday night
two Spaniards were arrested at the Orleans
hotel by the city police, who had in their
possession $15O,O0o In gold nuggets, sup
posed to have been stolen from bank in the
city of Mexico, some months ago. A large
reward, it is understood, has been offered
by the parties on whom the theft was COM
mitted. .,.
