and solemn one. Though removed from
the scene of the awful disaster we must
all feel IL deep.y--and it is fittirg That
every evidence of sympathy for the al
flicted should be given by the whole
populace-tor not only Richmond but
the whole State feels that heayy blow
has fallen, and a solemn warning been
given. A gloomy pail hangs over our
beautiful Capital, and it will be long
before its grief stricken people can re-
cover from their mourning for thu Sc
who were so suddenly snatched away.
May we all take the lesson to heart and
Danish all bitterness and strife from our
hearts and lives, and strive to be pre-
pared for the dread summons which
may come to us too at any moment.

will send the sheriff after YOU" His
grace said there would be no failure ii

seemed TO enjoy very much.
Some remark having been made on
the slow progress OF the Council, the
Archbishop playfnlly said that the
Americans were fast-going peop.e,
and Lepe ated to his holiness what he
said he had previously observed to

the Use of a little American steam

Several other pleasant subjects were
