Truly, when witnessing such scene of
disinterested, puxe-hearted religion, we
need no longer feel discouraged lest world
illness has completely absorbed society, as
still the iust are to be found, to whom God
will send, if necessary, an angel, as to Cor.
ueiius of old, to lead them to the haven of
safety. Mrs. Tyler left town yesterday for

Church, Beaver Dam, Wfs.-On the third
Sunday in April, at High Mass, an inter
esting ceremony was performed, namely,
the baptism of two young ladies. The
FIRST was Mary Louisa, the amiable and &C
cOmpI1eneO QauRnCer OI MI. be1teri JIG
other was Miss Mcdonald. The ceremony
was performed by Father Cooney. Father
Buckley and Mrs. Hale, who is convert
and sister to Miss Dexter, acted as spon-
sors to the latter, while Mr.. James Power
and Miss NJ. A. Mcdonald stood for Miss
Mcdonald. Quite large number of Pro-
testants were present on the occasion,
among whom we noticed the parents and
friends of Miss Dexter, who are members
of the Presbyterian denomination. These
make the four converts who, to our knowl
edge, have been received into the Church
by our young and jealous pastor. We
have also heard of a young gentleman who
time, whose name we have not learned.
But these are not all the blessings and
happy results of the Mission there are
others still more desirable and more sought
after, namely: the return of many lost
sheep to the fold of Israel. Our good and
faithful pastor was assisted during the mis-
sion by several of the neighboring priests.
