The New Archbishop of Baltimore.

Archbishop Baylcy, having been elevated
in ecclesiastical dignity and Office md ap-
pointed to the See of Baltimore, on Sunday
preached his farewell sermon at the laying
of the cornerstone Of st. Michaers church,
Jersey City. 1t was mainly, the Herald
says, 4 review Of church building and archi-
lecture by the Catholic Church in remote
ages. beginning as far back as the Catacombs.
The mn-nitccnce of the church architecture
of the Middle Ages was but the expression
Of honor and homage to the Real Pre-
>rncc" in the Eucharist. The people felt
that they could not do enough for God, who
designed thus to come down and dwell with
| men. The archbishop gave the vast con-
| arcgation the apostolic bencdiction and dis
| missed them.
The Newark .JWnWGi has the following
about the departure of the Archbishop from
| thnt city:
"Few that arc not Catholics can properly
| r,ai2" the love the faithful of Newark bear
| him who has been their pastoral chlet for Il
! fifth of a century. Last Sunday Or. Bay'cy

DE Bur@h. told the congregation that would

fearful riyuic>.
"On Thursday next the clergy of the dio-
ccSc will assemble in the hall OF the Catholic
Institute at II o'clock, and there present the
Archbishop with farewell address and Il
costly testimonial n( their affection in the
>hal;c Of splendid gold watch from Iilfa-
ny's. suitably inscribed, and an archiepisco-
,rtl cross, which is now en- r0Ute from Paris.

TIE SEA-SERPEST IN A HIGHLAND LoCH.---
The Inverness Courier tells this story: " a
gentleman, on whose intelligent observation
and accuracy we have perfect reliance, sends
the following account Of Il strange animal
now to be seen about the west coast of IN
vernesShirc, and which, il not the veritabe
or traditional Sea.Serpcnl, must be the OBJ
iect 50 often represented under that appeR-
ton:
con Tuesday last went on trip to Loo

compancd Ivy my friend and your acquant-
ance the Rev. Mr.. -, of Kent my two
daughters, Il young man, my grandson, ana
servant lad. While we were proceeding
along the Sound Of Slcat it fell calm, and we
were rowing the boat, when we observed
behind us Il row Of dark masses, which we
took, at first glance. for shoal of porpoise+,
but second look showed that these lna;sCs
formed one and the same creature, for it
moved slowly across our wake, about 700
Yards of, aud disappeared. Afterwards,
what seemed its head lriippcared, fol-
lowed Ivy the bumps or unduEltionS OF
its body, which rose in succession till we
counted eight of them. II approached now
within about a hundred yards or less, ana
with the help of binoculars, OF which there
happened to be three on board. we could see
il pretty distinctly. We did not see its eyes
nor observe nGy scales. but two Of tho party
believed that they saw what they took to be
a small lin moving above the water 1t then
slowly sank and moved away Just under the
surface Of the water, for we could trace lis
course till it rose again, by the large waves
| it raised above it. to the distance of mile
| and upwards.
ave had no means Of measuring its size
| with any accuracy; but taking the distance
| from the centre Of one bump or undulatlon
of iys body TO that of another ut six feet (and
| il could not be lcsS), the length of the por-
| tiou visible above the water would he about
| fttv feet and there might have been about
twenty or thirty feet more of its length
which we did not sec. Its head seemed
blunt. and looked about eighteen inches IN
| diameter, and the bumps were rather larger
| than the head. When in rapid motion the
| bumps disappeared, and only the head ana
neck could be seen partly above the surface OF
the water. It continued to rush about in
| the same manner a long Us we renamed
| within sight Of the place, but did not again
| come so near lis that day. On the afternoon
| of the next day, rs we were returning home,
we encountered our strange acquaintance
again within the entrance of Lochourn, ana
saw him carecrng swiftly along the surface
OF the water, which was now slightly rlppled
| with light air of wind. 1t passed once
| abeam of us at the distance Of about one
| hundred and fifty yards, with its head half
out of the water, and we distinctly heard the
| whizzing noise it made rs it rushed through
| the water"

The Corn CROP IN TIE WEsT.-From OBJ
servation made during recent trip through
portions Of this State. Indiana, and Ohio,
we are inclined to the opinion that the pre-
sent maturing crop will be the largest ever
raised in the western country. Farmers in
Indiana appear to have apportioned more
than the usual amount of land to this cereal,
and the railroads appear to pass through one
continuous cOrn-teld. The greater portion
of the crop is entirely out Of danger from
frost, and promises an abundant yield. Near
Lafayette, Indiana, 5000 acres of corn in
one tract was noticed. We were informed
that farmers in the vicinity Of Cincinnati
were contracting their corn quite freely for
