archbishop, who was but simple priest thirty
tive years ago, had devoted himself TO the holy
mission Of converting to Christianity the idola-
Eous population Of that Asiatic country, and by
his untiring zeal and eloquent language obtained
results SO important that in few years there
arose necessity to raise Kamtschatka into new
diocese. The worthy missionary, who was then
named Jean Veniaminof, was married and the
father of several children. He repaired to
Moscow to lay before Mgr. Pharete the
requirements Of the new see. During his
stay in that city he received the of the unex
pected death of his wife, who mhe had lett ia good
health. Having thus become widower ne was
in the condition required for the Episcopacy, and
Mgr. Philarete did not hesitate to confer on HIM
the dignity to which, in no circumstances, would
his modesty have allowed him to pretend. Madame
Potemkin, who is always ready when there IS
work Of charity to perform, undertook to bring up
the missionary's daughters, educate taem' sla
marry them honorably. The simple priest thes
became bishop, under the title OF Innocent, ana
returned to Kamtschatka, where he exercised ms
apostolic zeal for thirty years. For some wears
past he had become archbishop and has now ooeh
called to the highest functions in the eecesasticai
hierarchy

-on Thursdsv au5 Fridav Of last veek.

On Thursday and Friday Of last week
says The. Ashtsbula Sentinel, our attention
wss called to what seems most unnatural
in the economy of insect life. In many
phases the snow was almost blackened by
myrisds-we might say millions-of in
sects, that at first sight seemed to be fess,
being of their size and color; and we be-
lieve they are known by the name of snow
aeas, though = microscopic examination
plainly showed then to be quite different
They ere black, with two prominent feel
er,, long body, in shape resemble the large
pinehing bug, and as active as grssshOp
pe-s. They az pear to come up through
the snow, from the ground, play on the
surface of it and return into it. The
mystery seems to be, how such creatures
nsnage to live in SO low a temperature.
o. course we are not giving any news in
this description ; tdt some interesting in
curry may be ELECTED from others.
