a Johnstowner named John Ryan, who
was in search of employment in this city,
attempted to get on the fast line west on

A Philadelphia d. ID. named Rev Petty
delivered characteristic harangue in one of
our churches on Sunday evening last. He
went for the Pope and Popery in the heavi
est kind ofstyle, and manift sted great alarm
lest that venerable old gentleman, Plus TX,
would take it into his b, ad to transport him
self to this country and at one fell swoop
squelch out and forever eXtermlnate the re-
ligious Institutions of our people. Rev
Petty travelled good way to relieve his
mind of such contemplate twaddle, but as
nobody who heard him was cursed fool
enough to believe such a silly s'ccck and
bull'' story, it is fair to presume that the
game didn't pay for the ammunition.

VAN AMBURGH & Co.'s GREAT GOLDEN
NENAGERIE, which is to exhibit here this
(1hUrSddy) afternoon and evening, is prob

IN the world, and is certainly one which

This year the managers announce many new
features of the most attractive description.
and their catalogue of animals comprises
many new species that have never before
been exhibited in this country. People who
have been in the habit of visiting menager-
les all their lives will find that in Van Am

portion of the animals will be entirely new
to them. The Harrisburg Patriot, in speak

Dear FTeendn-Last week | failed to put
III an appearance, bat will now atone for
my neglect What | should have written 10
you last week is, that Sunday, 5th inst,
being Pentecost, or Whit Sunday, there was
a grand procession of children who had pre-
pared themselves 10 receive communion
The little girls dressed in white and tie
little boys neatly attirea, numbering more
than one hundred in all, headed by the Bcass
Band, marched from the school house tog gthe
church il the TEorning, heard mass. received
holy communion and returned to .ihe school
house in the same manner. While kneelIng
at the altar all the communcapts held in
their ha!:tls large white wax tapers, skill
fully anG tastetuIly ornameited with colored
ribbons, and presented truly beautiful and
iui pressIve sceue-Uue that once saw cannot
soon be forgotten.
During the week and up to date nothing
transpirod of a character worthy of place
in your columns, save that On MouJay, the
9Th, as per announcement, the pic-nics at St.
Nicholas aud Glosser's came off pleasantly
ana harmOniously, and, | might add, of
course successfully. And now while On the
ul,ject Of pic-nics, allow me to mention the
fact that the doubly grand picnic Of the
season is TO come off at our .Carroltowu
grouuGs on the Fourth Of July next. Those
OF your readers who lave enjoyed a picnic
here, and their name is legion, need not be
told where they can fiud the most eni)y able
way of spending the coming Fourth. But
to those who have teen to see, ;" as well as
those ho have not. l can give the most
positive assurances that all former pc-nics,
with all their successful and pleasant fea-
lures, were as nothing compared to the COM
ing one. Indeed, | might call it a carnival
(it | may Use the expression) that is prom
Ised to all seekers alter delightful recreation.
Here we have splendid groSe-a brass
