apostolic labors between st. Patrick and st.
Alphonsus, the two chief patrons of this
church and people. He then solemnly blessed
the banner, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Green and
Mr.. and Mrs. T. Brophy stepping forth as
sponsors. The banner was made by the
Sisters of Mercy of st. Alphonsus' Convent,
and is an exquisite piece of workmanship On
it's front, which is of red damask silk, is a life
size painting of st. Alphonsus, and on the
reverse, of green demask silk, picture of
Father Mathew. The banner is trimmed with
red silk fringe, tassels, etc., and bears appro-
pirate inscriptions. On the parade it was
adorned with beautiful wreath, presented
by the Sisters of Mercy.
BIT. JosEPH's CHURCH
was crowded to repletisn at High Mass, which
was celebrated by Rev. Father Leyden, C. NJ.
Branch No. 3 and the st. Joseph's Total Absti-
hence Society were present in full force. After
the Mass, Father Leyden blessed the magnifi-
cent banner of st. Joseph's T. A. Society, Mr..
John T. Gibbons and his spouse, and Mr.. Ed
ward keenan, and wife, being sponsors. The
banner is truly magnificent and gives indis-
putable evidence of the skill and taste of the
Sisters ofthe Good Shepherd who made it. In o
front of red silk is the figure of st. Joseph,
with the name and date of organization of the
Society above and below. The reverse, of
white silk, has we'll executed painting of the
Blessed Virgin and the infant Jesus around
which are the words:
with Mary for our Mother, what shall fears"

By the courtesy of President Brig
ham Young. we are enabled to print
the following letter, which from the
known varacity of it's writer, is sufi-
cient to extinsuish all doubts as to the
existence Of the monster which has so
long been supposed to inhabit the
waters of Bear lake, Rich county
PARIS, ONEIDA COUNTY, IDAHO,
May IS, 1874,
President Brigham Young:
DEAR BRoTHER-Last Friday
morning, May Is, on our return from
Conference, William Broomhead, Mi
rando Pratt and myself were in light
wagon travelling northward by the lake
shore, when our attention was attract
ed to an object in the water about 100
yards ahead of US and about twenty
five yards from the shore. At first
sight we thought it might be very
large duck, as we distinctly saw ducks
nearer the shore, but as we got near
we saw that it was an animal, the head
and a portion Of the back about a
foot from the head being visible, leav-
ing also about the spsce of foot be-
tween the back part of the head and
the beginning of the back where the
animal was not visible, the invisible
part no doubt being the neck. When
we were within about seventy yards,
the animal dived under the water, and
from its action we Judged it was not
more than or 6 feet long; STILL we
did not see it's length. When it went
down we stopped our wagon and wait
ed, hoping it would come up again,
which it did in perhaps about minute
little behind US and probably twenty,
five yards from us. Its face and part
of its head were distinctly seen, cover
ed with fur, or short hair of light
snuff color The face of the animal
was apparently fat, very wide between
the eyes: and tapering to the nose, with
very full, large eyes, and prominent
ears, resembling those of horse, but
scarcely as long. The whole face, in
shape, was like that OF fox, but so
large that the space between the eyes
equaled that of the distance between
the eyes Of a common COW. 1t did not
look ferocious, and was in no hurry to
go, but kept moving slowly, then div
ing again, came up and moved off into
the lake as fast as a man could walk.
As there has been considerable ln-
ters-tevin eed in regard to the Bear
Lake Monster | submit a descrip-
ton of what we have seen, thinking it
might be acceptable to you. Very
respectfully, VIM. BUDGE,
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1874-06-10
A Wind-StOrm.

BELoIr, Wis, June "A heavy
thunderstorm visited this city this
afternoon, preceded by furious wind
and clouds Of dust. Fences in many
instances were prostrated and stacks
scattered promscuously. Otherwise
no especial damage was done in this
vicinity.
Farmers report crops growing luxu-
riantly. Their progress for week
past has been almost marvellous.
MADISON, Wis, June A terri
BILE storm passed over here this after
noon, unroo6ng houses, greatly dam
aging the German Catholic Church
steeple: uprooting trees, and capsizing
boats No lives were lost and no
one was badly injured. It is feared
that great destruction will be report
ed to fruit trees and vines in the coun-
try. An immense quantity Of rain
fell.
OTTAWA, ILL.,, June "A terrible
tornado passed over this section at 2 80
o'clock this afternoon, followed by a
heavy thunder.shower. During the
blow trees were uprooted, several
houses rendered roohess, and a pleasure
party driving to StarAel Rock caught
in whirlwind, which lifted their hor-
ses entirely off their feet, causing the
widest terror to all. One gentleman
tainted and had not entirely recovered
his faculties until he reached Clifton
Hotel, distance of 10 miles.
EVANSVILLE, Wis, June 4'-This
afternoon, heavy wind, hail, and
rain-storm gave us friendly call, but,
not finding us prepared to entertain it,
left in dis gust. Before leaving, how
ever, blew down a new house, lifted
the roofs off from two barns, and scat
tered the fences around the fields with
out any regard to where they belong
ed. The hail was small and did little
or no damage.
ROCKFORD, III June.-A terrific
hurricane swept over the city this
afternoon at 2 o'clock. Considerable
damage was done; roofs: signs, avn
ings, ETC., scattering in every direction.
The storm arose very suddenly, coming
from the southwest and taking direct
course through the center of the town.
In the west part of the city, near the
outskirts, several frame houses were
lifted entirely from their foundations.
One small house was ca rried distance
of ten rods, totally demolishing it. So
far as learned, no one has been serious
ly injured. Old settlers say it was
the worst storm that has occurred here
in twelve years
GAINESVILLE, Wis, June 4 4-There
was another fac shower throughout
Southern Wisconsin to-day. The
crops are all doing spendidly.

QUEEN VICTORIA ENDORSES Nh.
SARToRIs.-Mr. Sartoris is descen-
dant Of the Huguenot refugees. His
father, conservative and one. of the
best known members of the Carlton
club, is prominent merchant, and
does large East Indian business.
His uncle, Mr.. Samuda, NJ. P, also of
the Huguenot refugees, is known as
the largest ship builder on the Thames
and an authority in the navy debat es
in Parliament. 1t is not generally
known that Queen Victoria, as soon as
she heard Of the proposed marriage,
made inquiries regarding Mr. Sartoris,
and wrote letter to the President in
which she confidently indorsed him.
This letter probably arose from the SIN
cere personal attachment which the
Queen felt toward Miss Grant, and the
esteem she felt toward the President
in his official capacity. 1t is hinted
by those cognizant Of the situation that
that the royal heart will be moved to
some special mark of appreciation in
connection with this marriage. It is
believed among Euglishmen who know
or effect to know. little about the
court, that the Queen will invite the
couple to visit Winsdor Castle and
confer some title Of nobility upon the
bridegroom. There is a confident be-
lief that President Grant will visit
Europe after his Presidential term;
and the idea of rendering him the free
dom of the city III such event is al
ready favorably talked of in the London
clubs.-N. 7. Journal Of Commerce

THE NATIONAL BREWERS CON3F

THE NATIONAL BREWERS CONGRESS
-BosToN, Mass, June 3.-The Ma.
tional Brewers Congress met today.
After an address of welcome by the
President Of the New Eng gland Associa-
tion, Henry Clausen, the President of
the National Association, made speech
full of statistics, from which it appears
that the number of barrels Of ferment-
ed liquors brewed and sold in the
States and Territories in the year end
ing June 80, 1873, was S.910,S23,. an
increase over the preceding year Of
9lO,S54 barrels. This steady increase
in the consumption of fermeuted
liquors, proceeding at the rate of almost
million barrels year, in spite Of all
the fanatical temperance agitations
which prevail from the pulpit by bands
of praying women, encouraged and
fostered by the National Temperance
Society, is held to be popular indorse-
ment of the refreshing, invigorating
and nutritious qualities iof fermented
liquors.

A MoNsTRosITY.-One of the most
curious monstroslties that We ever
heard of in the cow line is reported to
us by Mr.. J. G. Davis, of Algoma.
He has calf only nine months old
giving from two to three quarts OF
milk daily. The calf was only few
weeks old when the udder commenced
to develop and enlarge, and it was soon
evident that it was filed with milk,
and that the animal was distressed by
it. Mr.. Davis, on examination, found
that it did contain milk, and has been
obliged to keep milking the calf ever
since, until it seems to be possessed of
perfect development of the lacteal or
cans and gives as much milk as some
Q ordinary COWS. The calf has, ofcourse
never had offspring, which makes the
case still more wonderful. = Oshkosh

New YORK HAS A NEW STATE
Observation-Disclosures, N. Y, June
1.-The Governor has appointed
Abraham Lansing, of this city, State
Treasurer, vice Thomas Raines, incapa-
citated. The Governor was informed
by DR.. Gray, Of the Utica Asylum, that
the condition Of Treasurer Raines was
such that he would not be able to re-
sumo his duties in several months
and, as about 100000 in checks were
awaiting signature, it became necessary
for the Governor to act. Mr.. Lansing
accepts the position, with the under
standing that he will vacate the Office
as soon as Mr.. Raines can resume or,
in case Mr.. Raines will not be able to
resume, he will hold the Office till the
Legislature meets next January and
provides for filing it.

The importation of the celebrated
Norman draft-horse stock is becoming
great enterprise in this country
For the past few years a considerable
number of this magnificent specimens
of horsefesh has been introduced into
the West, and the improvement upon
local stock is beginning to be fully
demonstrated. Last month the CEN

France, via the steamer Denmark, a
load of Norman horses.
