news will, we know, prove highly Iaterest-

well-known, not only to the people OF his

for his eminent prudence, ever soiicIt"us
for those over whom his ecclesiastical au
thority extends, and approaching clearly
and deeply the weighty Influence OF every
official act, he impartially and carefully
scrutipizes and considers every measure
proposed for the welfare of his flock. He
has not, therefore, been an unattentive or
uninter ested observer of the temperance
movement, which has taken such deep
hold upon the Catholic heart, and spread
30 widely through the Catholic population
of our country. Aud as tho result of his
observation and consideration, be desires
the organization of II. A. b. Society in the
Cathedral parish.
In par8uance of the wishes, therefore,
of the Rt. Rev. Bishop, Rev. Father Ell
cock, on last Sunday morning, invited the
male members of the Cathedral parish to
q meeting to be held in the evening ut the
