The LECruRK.-rhe lecture given
last evening at st. Patrick's Church,
Gold Hill, BY the Rev. Father Blu
chard. was very fully attended, the
spacious church being crowded In ev-
cry part. The subject Of the lecture
WAS 1.-The Supremacy Of the Pope"
and taking the Bible for his authority
aud standpoint, Father Buchard made
one Of the most able and eloquent
discourses we ever listened To-
argumentative, logical and thoroughly
Interesting throughout. lie dwelt
particularly upon the oft-reperted de-
~claration that the Catholic Church,
through It's head. the Pope, was EN-
deavoring to assvme supreme control
ling power in the Government OF the
United States, aud demonstrated that
all the temporal power sought to be
retained by the Pope was simply in-
cluded In the small territory or juris-
dictiou Of Rome. lie claimed, OF
course, that the Catholic Church was
the true Church Of God, and that the
Pope was the head Of the Church. and
the true lineal representative Of Peter,
to whom God, according to the Bible,
gave the power and authority to rep
resent him here OH earth. Upon
this rock shall | build my church. and
the gates Of hell shall not prevail
against it." The lecture was listened
to with rapt attention throughout.

a geological expert, has examined the
strange looking animal brought into
Virginia City from the mountains yes
terday, by Bob Morrison & Co. lie
pronounces him to be a woodchuck.
| We are Inclined to believe that the
local OF the Enterprise Is Il little at
fault in regard to his wocdchuck theu.

US of a good story concerning the mar
mot tribe which Dan himself relates
In good style. We are not able to
give the locality where the incident
transpired. \ gentleman passed a boy
who vas drifting for a woouchuck.
The stranger inquired Of the boy II ie
thought he would get him. The boy,
without stopping working operations
n moment, answered rs follows : "Git

to git him. The preacher has come to
| our house and we've no meat for sup
