Saint Patrick's Day.

The seventeenth of March was very
generally observed in the localities in
which the followers of the patron saint
and the natives or descendants from the
green isle were sufficiently numerous to
undertake celebrations. In Bangor, which
has very large Irish population, the
day was celebrated under direction of the
Hibernian Mutual Benevolent Society, in
a most gratifying and creditable manner
But for the lowering and rainy weather,
the procession would have been one of the
most imposing ever seen in Bangor, The
procession, which formed in the morning
and marched to the Cathedral, was very
large, and was accompanied by two
bands. The stores and residences of Irish
citizens on the route were beautifully dec
Grated.
After Mass at the Cathedral, the pro-
cession reformed, with the addition of
chariot having three rows Of elevated
seats, containing thirty-two beautiful
young ladies, representing the counties of
Ireland. Two of these ladies, splendid
representatives of the Irish type of beauty,
Miss Mccain and Miss O'Connell, were
dressed to represent the Goddess of Lib
erty and Maid of Erin, and occupied the
highest seats.
At City Hall splendid banquet was
spread, to which the Society and guests
sat down. At the conclusion of the din
ner, toasts were offered and responses
made by Rev Father Herbert, Charles 2.
Roberts, Esq, Hon. S, II. Blake, DR..
Hamlin, Gen. Charles w. Roberts, Mar
cellus Emery, Esq, Rev. Father Clement,
d. F. Kelleher, J. S. Rowe. and others.
In the evening an address was delivered
in the Catholic Church. on the life and
character of ST. Patrick

Old Ben.'s Troubles.

The rage of Wade is fearful to behold.
He has turned himself into u volcano OF
profanity. He asserts that Grant has sent
him down here with a pack of damned
fools, who, now that their work is DONE

lands, and scoop up all the snakes and

home His work is DONE and he don't
want to loaf around any longer. He OBJ
jects to being the figure-head Of 4 gang Of
crazy Druggists, who are incessant ly talk
ing about scarabni, umbelliferous and
leguminous orders, arachnidn, copropha-
gi, anthropomorphn, the phyteleph asma-
crocarpo, lacertini, thorictes, and other
damned nonsense" as Ben. calls it
The other day one of the druggists came
on board with fat spider strung to Il
stick
''What in the name of heaven is that ?"
asked Ben, as the kicking spider was
passing him.
THAT, Mr.. Wade" said the happy
buggist, holding up the spider, "is

lycosa tarantule. It's the finest speci-
men | ever saw
The Old War Horse gazed at it mo-
ment, and then growled out. "The hell
it is. Take it away
Soon afterward another buggist came
on board with three tailed fish, and told
Ben. that it was the most complete speci-
men of the homocersal and heterocersal
platessa feuses that he ever found. A
more disguised man than MIR. Wade was
when he received this information has

with double row of ears all round his
head, strung to a pole.
