DlocEsE OF MosILx CAwyck Dedioa-
tion.-From the Selma 1ssses Of the 2lst Of
June, we copy the following particulars OF
the dedication Of the Church of st. Mary's
of the Assumption:
One of the most interesting and, to many
Of our citizens, novel events which has ever
occurred in Selma, took place on Sunday
last, on which occasion the new Catholic
church was solemnly dedicated to the ser
vice Of God by the Right Rev. John Qain.
Ian, Bishop of Mobile, under the title of
81 st. Mary's Of the Assumption" The de-
dicatiOn ceremonies were announced for 10
O'Clock, and before that hour the church
was literally packed with people, COM
posed principally of our best and substan-
tial citizens, nearly every seat on the main
aisles being occupied BY ladies. The SER
vices attending the dedication, which were
both grand and interesting, were conducted
by Right Rev. Bishop Quinlan, celebrant,
assisted by Rev! John w. O'Leary, pastor,
deacon Rev. d. Gibbons, of Mobile, sub
deacon; and Rev. w. F. McDonough, Of
Tuscaloosa, master of ceremonies. The
ceremony was very impressive and was
with the most lively interest and with the
utmost respect. The music, on the occa-
si6n, which was rich and beautiful beyond
anything of the kind ever before heard in
this city. After the celebration of the
mass, ceremony at once solemn and i'm
pressive, the Right Rev. Bishop Quinlan
delivered q discourse, the main portion of
which was devoted to explaining to the au-
dience the object and symbolic meaning of
the dedication services which they had just
Witnessed The Bishop is pleasing and
forcible speaker, land his discourse was
the large congregation present. His ser.
mon was an eloquent and instructive one,
and we regret that We cannot notice it more
at length and in q manner which the merits
of the distinguished speaker deserve. We
have heard It universally commended by
all who heard it, and the fact that the large
congregation, numbers of whom were
standing, listened to it with such profound
attention and respect is q deserved tribute
to the Rev. Father, and an evidence of the
impression which his remarks produced.
