CONCERT AT GRETNA.-To-day week
Sunday, the 9Th inst.-wiil witness an I'M
accustomed but very agreeable scene for
our. quiet suburb of Gretna. The good
folks of that rural vicinage viii be sur
prised with an inundation of visitors from
the city, to participate Gas auditors or per-
formers) in u beautiful little concert to be
given under the able leadership of Mr. La
Hache, in st. Joseph's Church at that place.
In addition to the vocal character of the
concert, a brass band will be in attendance.
This concert has been arranged by Rev.
Father Bogaerts, of that parish, for the
benefit of his new school. This good pas
tor certainly merits the active sympathy of
all who like to see energy and discretion
manifested by parish priests in the cause of
education. Nothing is so conducive to
maintaining the fervor and zeal of any
Catholic community as the careful, con-
scientious training of its youth.
Apart from these considerations, howev-
er, this little excursion to Gretna will have
attractions of its own sufficient to draw
many participants. The exercises will
commence inkthe cool of the afternoon, at 6
O'clock P. NJ, a1fording most agreeable
retreat from the sultriness of our summer
streets. At such moments, the denizens of
city naturally favor any promising av-
enue of escape to the green foliage and
cool evening airs of the country. 81.
Special arrangements have been made
with the jackson street ferry boat by
which visitors will be sure. of an immediate
return, to the city on the termination of
the concert at o'clock p. NJ

ENTERTAINMENT.-W perceive that a
pleasant entertainment is to be given in
the Third District next Saturday evening.
1t will take place at the school house of St.
Vincent of Paul's Church, beirg. the old
church building of that parish, and situated
on Dauphine, between Clouet and Monte
gut streets. The doors will be open at 2
o'clock p. NJ, and the entertainment will be
of a varied character. AS it is gotten up
for the benefit of the Association of st. Vim
cent of Paul, no doubt full attendance of
the public can be counted on.

Mr.. SEAMAN's LECTURE.-O Owing to q
press of new advertisements. coming in at
q late hour preceding our last issue, much
editorial matter was crowded out, and
among other things it became impossible
foHus to notice the eloquent address of
Prof. Seaman, at the Lyceum Hall, given in
behalf of the House of the Good Shepherd.
1t is too late now to attempt anything
like an analysis that would do justice to
the able lecture, which we had the pleasure
of hearing. We have no doubt that all
others present conceded with ourselves in
a just appreciation of its truthfulness, hu-
NOR, happiness of illustration and conclu-
siveness of reasoning.
AS the learned gentleman delivered his
grafton, with the assistance simply of few
written merloranda, we presume that there
is at present no means of reproducing it,
otherwise it would amply repay perusal
in print.
We hope that a sufficient number of tick
cts were sold to afford return of some
magnitude, as the good Sisters of the insti-
tuition are sadly in want of every assist
ance. Their crown in heaven will doubt
less be beautiful and brilliant enough, but
their earthly one is amply studded with
thorns just at present.

when nor human impeachment whatever
stood between them and the light of their
religion! Che synagogue, it is true, was
but q faint type of the perfection which
ought to Fbe in the Church, but it was a
type, also, of the imperfection of its influ-
ence over men through the action of their
own free viii.
+ Our application, then, of these principles
to the present Questions" is this Mexico
and Italy are controlled by Catholics, it is
true, bat by bad Catholics men who WELD
all their power in antagonism to the Church
which they know to be true. They are like
the devils who "believe and tremble," but
will not obey. Austria is very undutifuf
child of the Church, so far as its goveph-
ment is concerned, but its general c0hdi-
ton of power and prosperity by no/means
calls for any special investigation so far as
we can see. Spain, as a faithful Catholic
nation, attained to immense power and
greatness, which it abused for purposes of
cruelty and avarice. For this departure
from its truth it is now suffering.
Let not the Church be judged by the con-
duct of those of her children who openly
defy her, but by those who are acknowledged
to follow her precepts.

RoGATIoN AYs.-M6nday, Tuesday and

These are called Rogation Days, or days Of

justly merit that be would cause his ben

HIBERN1A FIRE INSURANCE CoMPANY.-
Subscribers and friends of this enterprise
will find elsewhere a notice calling a meet
! ing for the purpose Of effecting permanent
organization next Wednesday evening, at
II O'Clock. The meeting will take place at
the hall of the Hibernian Benevolent Asso-
citation, 100 Gravier street.
Judging from the names of parties who
are taking an interest in the formation of
this new institution, we must conclade that
its success will be brilliant. The plan of
having several directors from each district
of the city:-men, too, thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the character and standing of their
fellow citizens in their respective neighbor-
hoods-will be found eminently convenient
There would be but few who could not find
an acquaintance among the directors
condition of things which would secure
both facilities to customers and safety to
the company.
If the Board of Directors should I've COM
posed of the gentlemen whose names we
have heard suggested, we can predict that
stockholders and policy holders, too, will
not DC confined to Sc Hibernians."
