pany,
''DeGive's Opera House was crowded

was all that the audience could do to stick
together. But we have nothing to do with
Bishop. The sisters are enough for US,
and perhaps too much. We like them.
They are pretty, and just as full of mis-
chief, fascination, and deviltry as feminin-
ity can be. We see from our exchanges
that they are anxiously expected in our
sister cities, and we can promise our

Address of sympathy for the Pope.
NV YORK, Dec. 3.-Archbishop Nc
Closky and the Bishops of his diocese re-
Gently consulted together at Rochester
and resolved to frame an address of SYM
pathy t. the Pope, embodying therein
the sentiments Of the Roman Catholics of
the diocese, aud introducing q strong
protest of the clergy and laity against the
occupation of Rome by the King of Italy.
The Archbishop, onhis return TO the city,
Immediately consulted with his council.
Tomorrow evening the address is to be
read 10 the various churches and signed
by the clergy and few prominent lay
men.
The address opens with an aVowal of
homage and obedience to The See of st.
Peter, filial affection and substantial al
allegiance and devotion to the Pope, and of
sympathy in the affliction to which his
august person and the Church at present
are subjected. 1t repudiates and condemns
the lawless injustice which has invaded the
legitimate dominion of The Pope as a
sovereign prince, and denOunces the
sscrilegious violence which as brought
under captivity his sacred person. The
address continues
Moreover, SIS citizens of the United
States Of America, whose constitution
and avs recognize the lib rty which tie
Church has received as an inaliensble
right from Almighty God, We protest
against the viUlst'on of rel gious freedom
| and The rights of conscience which has
been perpetrated in the desecrated name
of liberty. We also protest against the
invasion of the liberty of the Church in
the person of its Head, both as an out.
rage against the sacred prerogative Of
your Holiness as Supreme Pontiff, and as
violation of right which we as CathO-
lies possess of being governed by chief
completely exempted from and independ,
ent Of all civil authority"
The address finally promises continued
faithfulness of the American Catholics to
the Pope and the Apostolic See at all
times.

'sSt. George society of Nashville,
This Society, 10 be composed Of English
mon, citizens of Nashville, who are natives
of any part of Great Britain south of the
Tweed, or on the islands adjacent thereto,
was formally inaugurated on Monday night
last, Nov. 2s, 1870, at its place Of meeting,
the Hall of the brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers, on Cherry street, when the
various officers common to such orders
were appointed to act until the first meet
ing IN January next, at which time an cleo
ton will take place for regular officers
The object of this Society, as stated in
the constitution thereof, adopted at the
meeting above referred to, and which is
similar IN effect to those of ether orders in
various cities of the United States, is as
follows:
ITO administer to the wants of al
afflicted and distressed members (provided
that such Affections or distress are not the
result Of drunkenness or crime , the Wis
itation Of tn sick, the burial Of the dead,
and 10 aid and assist the widows and or
pha1s of deceased members, and also for
granting relief and assistance 10 any Engish
families not members OF the Association
who shall be deserving Of the same.
We are informed that the qualification
for members is, that each applicant must
be of the age Of eighteen years, of good
moral charHc:er, and receive the recon-
msndstiOn Of special committee, and that
the entrance OF initiation fee has been
fxsd at $500, and the monthly subscrip-
ton at so cents.
We also understand that all persons
joining said society at its next meeting, TO
be held on the 18th of December, instant,
at y o'clock in the evening, at the before

their names to the Constitution and By
Laws, and paying the entrance fee, but
any person desiring to become member
after that time, will have to be proposed
and ballotted for, as provided for by the
Constitution and By Lsws.
Such is, therefore, brief account of the
objects and conditions of this Society, but
enough, we think, to convince the Eng
lishmen Of this city of its worthiness Of
their united countenance and support, and
We certainly deem it the duty of each and
every one of that nationality, at once to
show their appreciation of Its worthy OBJ
jects by becomirg members, so that by 80
doing they NAV render thst mutusl aid and
as distance which will enable the Society to
carry out its objects, by rendering to the
