OnsRQUIRs OF SISTER BEsRDICrA

Impesing Ceremonlcs An Affecting Scene.
The funeral services Of Sister Benedcta Mary,
(NcDonough,) one Of the Little Sisters Of the
Poor, whose death was announced In the last
issue Of the REPUBLICAN, took place yesterday
morning from st. Aloysius church.
The ceremony was simple and solemn. The
chief mourners were hel late associates In char
ity and the aged and innrm men and women Of
the institution, many OF whom were In tears
during the impressive service. The Sisters OF
the Holy Cross, with the orphan boys Of 81.
Josephs Asylum, were present; also, several
Sisters OF Charity and large number Of ladies'
and gentlemen.
The conn was plain and adorned only with
crown Of beautiful white flowers, but during the
solemnities lady advanced to the casket and
placed upon it q magnificent cross, made OF
japonicas and lmmortelles.
Requiem Mass was celebrated by Rev. Father
Barotti, chaplain OF the Home for the Aged Poor
and Innrm, and was assisted by Rev. Fathers
Corrigan aud San Martno. Tue funeral service
after the Mass was performed by Rev. Father
Mcguire, who, when he had finished reading the
prayers ior the dead, spoke few touching words,
any enlogy on such occasions. He alluded 10 the
seIf-sacrihcing lives OF the Sisters, to their he
role services for the poor, and TO the glory that
such lives reflect upon the Church, where alone
religious orders are found.
The solemn cortege proceeded to Mount 0lvet,
attended by . large number OF our best CAtho-
lies, and the remains were buried with the last
impressive ceremonial OF the Church. Thus the
good sister Bsnedicta rests from her iAbors Of
