Mr.. EDIToR-The Benevolent Associa-
ton Of Ancient Hibernians celebrated st.
Patrick's Day here i'll 4 highly becoming
and pleasing manner 10y large parade
The day was clear and fine the cool breeze
which prevailed throughout rendering the
occasion very agreeable. Early Ill the
morning those vino were to take pa.t III the
procession gathered at the school house on
Tunnel Iliil and at haH-past 8 O'clock pro
ceeded in y body to the church to attend
Mass. The procession was oficered by
Thos. Stanley, County Delegate, and EGw.
Cailaghan and Jas. O'Neill, President and
Secretary respectively of tho AssOciat on.
They displayed a very beautiful green silk
banner. wreathed with the ever green sham
rock AMI bearing appropriate inscriptions,
with pictures Of the Apostle Of ireland and
Maid Of Erin with harp. The richly trimm
sash0s fairly giitteTed in the sun. At the
church our Jealous pastor, Rev. Thomas
Ryan, delivered q most eloquent and affect
ing sermon on St. Patrick, the Patron of
Ireland, during which he dwelt feeliugly
upon the c.ioI 5 made by the English ma
ton to crush out the faith III the Emerald
Isle but by strict adherence to the coun-
sells Of their bishops and priests the people
of that beautiful but unfortunate land had
preserved the faith, and to-day the govern
ment OF England is so paralyzed that there
is every reason to believe that the time is
not far distant when the sons of Erin in
their own country, as well as in this, will
be able to display the banner of green and
elevate it above the hateful red. After Mass
was over all fell into line and marched to
Gallitzin Station, and from thence back to
Tunnel Hill, with flies and drums ilaying
Irish tunes appropriate to the occasion.
The people of Gallitzin who participated
on that day not only did credit to them
selves, but to the cause they represented.
