FIST COMMUNION OF DEAF MUTEs IN ENG
LAND.
The Sheffield and ROTTERDAM Independent,
n Protestant paper, gives the following &C
count of First Communion at the1eath-
| olic Deaf and Dumb Institution, at Hands
worth Woodhouse -" Such ceremony
as took place at Handsworth Woodhouse
on Sunday has probably not been witness
ed in England since the Reformatlon.
Five of the deaf mutes at the Catholic
Deaf and Dnmb Institution at Handsworth
Woodhouse partook of their first Holy
Communion. The change, not only IN
their personal appearance but in the de-
meanor of these children since their adj
mission into the Institute, was most sur
prising. One of them used to run about the
Streets of Sheffield neglected and forsaken,
the notion being that she had no Inteiiect
| whatever to cultivate, and that sho was
+, a fit subject only for q lunatic asylum. She
was removed to the Institute, and now she
can read and write very perfectly. ohe
understands the ordinary rules OF arlthme-
tic and has advanced so far in religious
knowledge as to be fit subject to receive,
} with the other four-mutes, the Holy Com
munion. The occasion on account OF It's
infrcquency, was surrounded by some little
ceremony. The chapel was beautifully
adorned with flowers, candles, and banners.
At nine o'clock High Mass was said by the
} Right Rev. Mgr. De Haerne, founder and
director of the Institute, attended by the
Rev. DR.. Van Cauwenberghe and other
clerpymen. The communicates afterwards
= sat down to breakfaor ip tue convent. Tho
breakfast was served by the Sisters OF
Charity who have the charge of these poor
children, assisted by several ladies from
Sheffield and other places. At eleven
. o'clock the committee of the Institute held
= meeting. There were presene Mgr; De
u Haerne, the Very Rev. Canon Walshaw,
. . DR.. Van Cauwenbe rghe, Mr.. Hadfeid, and
y Mr. Whelan. They expressed themselves
=, highly satisfied with the state of the house
~ and the progress made by the children, the
lumber of whom has increased. The COM
unrtee were much rejoiced with the pre-
a sence of Mgr. De Haerne, who, at consider
- able difficulty had come expressly from Bel
&c GUM to be present on the occasion to sho"
- his zeal for the good work, aud his desire
- for it's success. In the afternoon the clergy
- dressed i'll white, formed a procession, and
*, 10 headed by a very richly embroidered ban
per which had been brought from Belgium

ed along the roads and Through the grount
of the Institute. The interesting proceed
lie ings concluded with Benedicton at fou
o'clock.
