CHURCH OF THE IMMACULATE CoNcEp-
TIoN.-We understand that the Jesuits'
Church was never more crowded, since 1T
was6rst opened, than it was at the last Mass
ON Sunday last, Easter Sunday. Long be-
forc ten O'Clock it was impossible to obtain
seats either in the pews or in the galleries.
When the service began, the crowd was so
compact that many, especially ladies, had
to leave, not being able to obtain seats.
The ceremonies were carried out with
solemn grandeur, and the music was of the
highest order. Van Webers Grand Mass,
in E fiat, was sung by the splendid choir,
largely augmented that day, under it's able
leader, Mr.. Collignon. Before the sermon
Dietsch's Veni Samcte Spiritus, and, at the
Odertory, Beethoven's grand Regime Cali
were given with thrilling effect. We I'M
derstand that, at the earnest request of
many who were prevented by the crowd
from attending last Sunday, the same Mass
will he sung to-day.

ST. JosEPH's LADIES' FAIR.-The Ladies'
Fair for the benefit of st. Joseph,s New
Church, which commenced on Monday
ssast, in st. Joseph's Hall, on the corner OF
Common and Derbigny streets, and has
s1been in JUL operation during the week
Just closed, will be continued during the
4present week. The attendance during the
evenings has been good, and considerable
dnterese has been exhibited in reference to
the prizes held out for competition, that ia
the beautifully embossed Missals, and the
Handsomely mounted hose carriage. The
good work to which the proceeds of the
fair are to be devoted, and the great zeal
and energy of the good ladies who have
combined to carry them out, deserve the
success which a generous and liberal ,peo-
pie, We trust, will enable them to secure:

The FOURTH STATE FASR.-The exhi-
oition OF the Mechanics and Agricultural
fair Association of Louisiana commenced
yesterday on the Grounds of the Associa-
faon. about noon. The supply of machinery
stock, and every thing connected with
either department is said to be quite full.
Great crowds were expected on the G rounds
One of our city contemporaries states that
the Grounds can be reached by the Esnla-
made street cars at the Clay statue, Canal
street, and by the cars of the Orleans rail
road, which start from the corner of Canal
and Dumaine street.

HE CATHOLIC EcHo.-This is the name
selected for new German paper which in
few weeks will be issued in this CITY.
1t is to be- edited by the Rev. Leonard
Thevis, the good pastor of the German
Trinity Church, on st. Ferdinand street.
This paper is intended to be the organ of
the German Catholic population of the
Southern States. There is large German
population in the South, an industrious,
thriving, respectable class Of our citizens,
chiefly located, as far as we have had op-
portunities of knowing, in our cities and
towns, except, perhaps in Texas, where
there Isl large and steadily growing German
agricultural population, besides that in the
towns. OF those there must be o consider
able number that are Catholics, besides
others who are not conn ected with any de-
nomination, and who, we have no doubt,
would subscribe to a paper printed in their
own language, that would supply them
with the news from the old Father Land
which would be always 30 interesting to
them, and which. in addition to that, would
help to preserve the old language to their
by-giEiRg them an interesting
weekly paper to read.
We believe that well-conducted weekly
paper, such as we think this will be. would
not only pay expenses, but in few years
become profitable, from the rapid increase
OF the German population in the South. !

the Rev. DR.. Anderdon will deliver lee
turo in st. Patrick's Church. The subject
of tie lecture will be "The Pope's Tenn
poEl Power, and the General Council a
subject particularly interesting at the pres
Cut time, and TO which we think the learn
ed Doctor and eloquent preacher will do
stmtice. II a. a
The lecture is intended for the benefit OF
the Sisters of Mercy of Charleston, two Of
whom are now in our city endeavoring to
procure meaas to enable their sisterhood to
re-establisA their old orphanage and free
seheols which were destroyed in the bonn
baxdment Of that city. It will not be for
gotten that these good Sisters, to the long
years Of care and attention which they had
- eAe Orphans and the education of
oNte4kegen Of the poor, added the devo-
- which they attended the sick, the
ysanAed and the dying duriag the terrible
seen cf Chazleston's distress. The object
ich the lecture is to be given, the
AF6k interest connected with the subject,
nhs ability Of the distinguished lecturer
6u3t 70 be sufficient to draw an iaamense
crowd.
This leceure, we believe, will be the last
that many of as will ever have an oppor-
-tunity Of hearing from the Rev. DR.. An

the city, who desire to testify their reyer-
ence and respect for their venerable bishop
elect, and also their appreciation of the
good work Of providing Institutions of
learning for the rising generations of Ca
tholic youth. The Rev. Cornelius Moypi-

the occasion. A procession will be formed
at the church, headed by st. Mary's Cornet
Band, followed by the orphans, the children
OF the parish, and the people in general.
The corner-stone is o piece of beautiful
Italian marble, specially donated by Mr..
Reynelda, on Poydras street, for which he
would not accept any remuneration what
ever.
The good pastor of St. Theresa's, Father
Kenny, 10 in perfect ecstacies about the
overdowing generosity of his people. He
says that some of the old ladies brought
out their double eagles, and even the
children brought out their little purses, and
empsied them for the good work. The
good Father has good reasons to be proud
OF his people, as they certainly have to be
proud of him.

We are assured by gentleman of our
acquaintance who is entitled to all credit,
that the following is snake truth: The
gentleman says that recently while clears

branch, he came in contact with large
sized snake He cut the monster in two
near the middle. The head end, with
great tenacity of life, crawled to the branch
with rapid movement and from the tail
which wriggled aud squirmed awhile where
it lay, there issued fourteen young snakes
about the size Of wheat straws. They i'm

FROM FRANCE.
Important French success on Tues
AAV

ToUEs, Oct. Ga battle which occur
red near Chateau Graillaud on the 4th has
been productive of important results. The
position taken by the French was one that

Arrangements for Smelling Paris
Complete Movements at Lyons
A Scare at Hayre.
Tours, Oct. 6.-News is received here
that the Prussians have now completed
all arrangements for Smelling and attacking
Paris. The guns and mOItars are in po-
sition. The spirit of the population, how
ever, is undaunted. Advices received
show that the garrison are prepared
at any moment to meet the attack. The
French are aware that some time must
elapse ere an offensive movement can be
made, and they use the delay in drilling
and arming the Mobiles.
At Lyons, in view of the Prussia1 ap
proach, military precautions are being
taken. The surrounding heights are forti-
fed and occupied by regular troops. The
government is taking measures to insure
Normandy against destruction by sending
three divisi )ns of the Mobile Guards.
An American frigate that entered Havre
created a scare in saluting. The peo-
pie supposed the enemy were lombard
ing the town,
At Lyons they seem determined to or
ganize a movement. They have had
meeting at Greene numbering over 20, 900
persons. 1t is expected the government
will at once take measures to stop this
manifestation.
