Mr.. Alfred Turner, the gifted orator

a fortunate man. At college he carried

not hard student. Success attended

most charming young lady in Wisdom

She could speak French and English

She knew the population Of the great

Holy Week began yesterday with Palm Sunday.
Our Roman Catholic churches were decorated with
palms upon their purple-draperied altars and large
quantities OF everzreens.;to represent that tropical
plant were laid In piles within the altar rails ready
for the blessing and distribution.
This ceremony was performed n st. Ste

heads, entered the church rom the vestrvroom

Mr., JoHH b. HAsKIN, short time ago,

in the matter Of the opening OF Derrinn and
Madison avenues in the town of West Farms,
which was granted by Justice TAPPEs
In the month Of February last, Justice
JosEPH +. BARNARD was spilled to at
PouGhkeepsie, and he rendered q decision setting
aside the writ issued by Justice TAPPkS, on the
ground that Mr.. HAsKN had no standing in the
Court. Mr.. HAsnS appealed from the decision
of Justice BARNARD, and brought the matter be-
fore the new trio Of Judges, consisting of Justices
GILBERT, TAPPEN, and PRArr, on Friday, when
they rendered an opinion reversing the order Of
Justice BARNARD. This last decision, Of course,
will stand until in its turn II is reversed by the
Court of Appeals. There is no Judge in this
State who has higher reputation as lawyer
and a fair-minded man than Judge JosErn F.
BARNARD and with the profession everywhere
his opinion will have more weight than that of the
trio of Judges opposed to him.

years and Of the four gentlemen whom Mayor

Health Commissioners Eve years; the Park Com
missioners five years the Superintendent Of
Buildings Eve years; and tie Dock Commissioners
Eve years. When Mayor O'HALL has named
these officials, he will have nothing more to do
viii them than has any other citizen. Nor will
the Mayor who succeeds O'HALL on Jan. /, 1871,
have any power over them whatever, nor the
Mayor who on Jan. /, 1873, succeeds o'HALL's
