Despite the clustering winds Of March" which
the in-tempered month in his bitter decline in
sists upon INJECTING upon humanity, the sun shone
brightly yesterday, and the streets were filed
with multitudes hooking churchward. The various
festivals In the church calendar are linked with
"reminiscences Of the changes Of nature
IN the lapses of the seasons and
there are certain of them which are always looked
upon, happily, as harbingers of pleasant epocs
which are approaching. There is no doubt that
yesterday, although consecrated to the commence
ration of the dreadful Passion OF our Lord, filed
she minds OF many with the thought that Palm
Sunday, and, afterwards, Easter, were near at
hand, with their beautiful emblems OF young life and
freshened hope. The services in the Catholic
churches were peculiarly impressive, and attention
is especially called to the sermons which were
preached on the great topic OF the day.
The subjects OF the discourses given below will
be found to be Of thoughtful and deeply interest
ing order, and only the crowded state OF our col
umns precludes giving them more extended space.

work, but it is now completed. While the work
was in progress, the Cornish engine was idle for
week, and the water pumps were able to keep
this season. The new Worthiugton pump is
completed and ready for shipment at any time,
