melancholy Intelligence of the death of Rev
| Louis NJ. Edge, pastor Of st. Mary's Catholic,
| Church, i'll this city, was received here on
| Thursday morning, aud has caused the most
profound sorrow among his parishioners, by
whom he was beloved, and citizens generally,
by whom he was respected. The deceased was
born in County Tippcrary, Ireland, i'll 1876, and
was consequently forty-fuur years OF age.
He emigrated to America in 1s47, and com
menced his ecclesiastical studies at NillanOva
College, Pennsylvania, about three years after
his arrival in this country. He Joined the
order of St. Augustine in 1885, and two wears
later he was ordained priest. Having, during
his collegiate course, displayed an aptitude for
mathematics, he was retained professor of
that branch of studies at Nillanoya for about
six years subsequent TO his ordination. He
was stationed among us but short time when
he conceived the idea of erecting the new
Church of st. Mary, which, alas, he was des-
tined never to see completed. 1t was u great
undertaking, and none, except man of the
most determined resolution, and enthusiastic
Christian zeal, would have attempted it, Few,
if any, believed in ITS practicability, and when
he first mentioned it, the suggestion was
received with general disiavor; those, even,
who were DESTROYS of seeing such q structure
erected, and who were willing to contribute
literally towards its realization, being doubt
full abont its success. Butt Father Edge no.

project was received, con,nenced his labor and
the success which has attended his efforts

with an almost unprecedented unanjmity and
iberality. Thus fay about $50, 600 have been
expended in its erection, all of which has been
paid Laurence Ssutinel, 26th ult.
