hard. II this ecclesiastical cusS gets TO heaven,
he will have an awful tight race for it, doubt
less bringing a smell of birthstone on his gar
ments. The kind-hearted ladies-dear crea-
lures !-are praying hard fer him. A tremen-
douS mass meeting was held last night, and
another tonight; The ladies who visit the
boat-bars are well received, and assured that
no liquors shall be dispensed at this landing

loon keepers swear they won't sell it, and the
dry topers prove their word by the sadness of
their faces.
