preached an excellent extemporaneous
discourse Sunday morning on the Holy
Catholic church, and in the afternoon a
manuscript discourse on the Roman Catho-
lie church.
While avowing himself an enemy of
the Roman Catholic church as an organi-
cation, he expressed much sympathy Tor
Roman Catholics themselves. He admit
ed the great power of the Papal system,
which he claimed was a mystery to many.
He maintained that the inherent strength
of Popery lies in the fact, hat it was de-
rived from Judaism and as thus de-
rived, it was Satan's masterpiece.
The recent action of that church re-
specting the dogma of infallibility was
consistent with their assumption of being
the Kingdom of Christ on earth. This
the preacher denied. He believes that

the council, in the Pope, to be aimed
mainly and directly at this country.
That it was such a concentration of power
as to make Romanism more dangerous
than ever unless it be over-ruled by
Heaven.
He believed it would be, but claimed
that inspired p~rophesy only taught the f.
nal overthrow of Popery at the Sec

meanwhile it would xxi erience various
fortunes, yet on the whole would suffer a
decline. Yet it would put forth the ut

earth. The struggle would De severe and

j. NJ. FRENcH's GREAT ORIENTAL CIR
Gus AND EGYPTIAN CARAVAN, which is
one of the finest and most extern
sive exhibition that has ever been organ
lied, will visit M%iddlebury, giving two
exhibitions, one in the afternoon and one
in the evening, on Wednesday, August
10th.
This exhibition includes a number of
remarkable animals. Among the won
ders to be noted is the mammoth lion den.
containing six fierce Kaffra Lions, a herd
of sixteen huge Camels and the great ell
ephant, Empress, the largest animal ma
ture ever produced-the calf elephant,
Sultan, the smallest of the kind ever seen
in America, etc-of which a fuller de-
scription is given in the advertisement.
1t is said to be well worth seeing, and
we have 30 doubt the immense tent will
be filled both afternoon and evening.
A fine street display will take place in
the morning at ten O'Clock.
The following we clip from the Dam
i~elsonville Herald of June 9th
-. M. French's Circus and Oriental
Caravan exhibited in Worcester to-day,
and was attended by an immense crowd
Of people. The entry into the city vas
beautiful beyond description. The Den
Of Lions and the dark hued' sons of
Eastern climes mounted upon c%anlels,
gave IL decided Oriental appearance to
this gorgeous pageant. The Band under
the leadership of w. d. Story, far sur
passes anything yet before the public, and
is worthy the attention of all musical ad-
mirers. The Drove of Camels and Den
Of Lions are alone worth the price of ad-
mission, and when looked upon at once
reminds one of the wildness Of the Jun
gle. Mr.. Clark, the Clown, excels all
that have gone before him in that partic-
ular, making true the old adage, that he
who plays the comic must needs be of
brilliant intellect. Mr.. William Dutton
in his grand double Somersault act is
truly wonderful.
