Death Of Reverend Mother Catharinee
The vicksburg Times Of the twenty-ffrh
instant says:
At the Convent of Mercy, in this city,
yesterday morning, were paid the last
sacred rites Of the living to the mortal re-
mains of Reverend Mother Catharine Gl ant,
SuperiOress of the Convent of Mercy, New
Orleans, who died at the convent here, of
consumption, on the morning of the twenty
third instant, in the thirteenth year of her
religious profession, and the sixteenth of
her entrance into the convent For many
months has she been lingering with this
fatal disease but has continued to act in
her religious and worthy mission until a
short time since, when it became apparent
TO her that her time on earth was coming to
a close, and that for her passage to the
realms of eternal life was near at hand,
when she~was prevailed upon by Father
LeRay to come to the quiet convent in our
city, away from the busy and noisy me-
tropolis of which invitation she awaited
herself. She also desired to come that she
might have the sacred privilege of having
the attendance of Reverend Mother De-
Sales, superioress of her order here, around
her death bed, as she desired her eyes to be
closed in peace by this good mother, whom
she had learned to love.
The funeral took place in the chapel of
bDb convent at three O'CLOCK yesterday
morning, the Right Rev, Bishop Elder, Of
Natchez, assisted BY Rev. Father LeRay
officiating, while Rev. Father BOhmert sung
high mass. There were fourteen sisters of
the order, the novices of the convent, rep
resentatives of the sodality of the school,
and quite a number of ladies and gentle-
men of the city present The ceremony, as
well as the address of the Right Rev.
Father Elder, was quite impressive. She
was buried IN the convent yard near the
upon which is to be erected q statue
of the Blessed Virgin.
Her dying request was to be kept above
earth as long after death as was thought
prudent, that she might have as many
masses said for her as possible.
kilograms were sent yesterday to her sis
ters in New York, who are also Of the reli-
gious order of Mercy, and her convent in
New Orleans, at both of which places, ss
well as here, masses have been said for her.
Thus passes from us true Christian, who
has devoted a greater portion of her pill
griInage on earth to the preparing herself
for that boon Of eternal life which our
Father above has promised the faithful, and
Ihe ministering to the wants of the poor
and needy, in her gentle and holy manner
here on earth.

popularity we shall not haul down the

Grant, and for this reason we oppose it.

A curious case of assault and battery
was lately brought before the police tri-
bunal at Marseilles. 1t appears that a
diyeB, engaged in investigating the wreck
of a vessel sunk in the port of that city,
discovered an object of some value, which
he put aside in a corner Of a rock for future
disposition. Returning for the last time be-
meath the surface, he went to secure his
prize, but at that moment two other divers
attacked him and attempted to wrest it
from him. A lively fight ensued, which
lasted until the people above, alarmed at
the confusion below, drew the combatants
up to the surface. The ARRAY thus com
face Of the sea, was ended at tie police sta
ton.
