WAsHINGToS, Twp, March "a, 1874.
I. DEAR FREEMAS-We have had quite
variety OF weather during the past week,
with plentiful supply of mud, n slight
sprinkling of snow and bleak December
wind prevailing at present.
am sorry to announce the death of Fran
els hcTammany, of this township, which
occurred on Saturday las:. His remains
we-a inferred IN the Catholic cemetery at
Sumnitville yesterday.
A young man named Peter Little died very
suddenly, on Friday evening last in Sum.
merhill township, while employed in chop
ping wood at the house of his brother.
Heart disease, it is supposed, caused his un-
timely death.
Matthew McHugh will offer at public sale,
at his residence in this township, on Satur-
day next, the 2Sth inst, horses, cows, farm
ing implements, household and kitchen fur
niture, etc.
Mr. John G. Burk, formerly of this town
ship, but who has been engaged in keeping
a hotel in Brookyille, Jefferson county, for
the past two years, has returned and taken
up his residence OH farm recently purchas-
ed by him. Mr.. Burk is deserving young
man and is cordially welcomed back by his
many friends i'll this locality.
Mr.. Owen Malomey, whom mentioned III
my last letter as being unwell, is now i'll a
fair way of recovery.
l attended the debate, on last Thursday
evening at School House No. q this town
able audience present The question for de-
bate was: (Which has the most right TO
complain of ill-treatment from the whites
the indian or the Negro ?'' The arguments
produced on either side were eloquent and
forcibie and highly creditable to the speak
ers. After hearing the discussion, the per
sons selected to give the decision, Messrs.
Matthew NcHugh, John c. Burk and Ii I.
Bender, decided in favor of the Indian. SO
the gentlemen Of color will continue to be
kept in the dark until some future light
dawns upon them. James Itel and w. i.
Conway being empowered to select ques-
tiou for the next evenings discussion, pro-
posed the following: (Which deserves the
greatest honor the statesman or the war
rior"'' A resolution was then read and
adopted that small journal be written
weekly by a member appointed; for that pur-
pose to be called the ''Washington Town
shin Echo for the beuetit of the debating
society, each member to contribute weekly
towaads making it a success. Outside con-
tributions will be kindly received from any
person wishing to eulighten us on any sub
iect or aid us in our literary efforts.

DEAR FREEMAN-For some days previ-
Ous to the late anniversary OF the great aud
glorious festival of Irelands Patron Saint
and Apostle il was announced that Rev. \.
Wall, of the Theological Seminary, Pitts
burgh would deliver lecture in St. Mi
chacl's church. At the hour appointed, the
Rev. lecturer, accompanied by Rev T. A.
Bush pastor of IOretto, Rev. Daniel DeVlln.
President of ST. Francis College and Rev.
II. 5. Bowen, appeared in the church, and
shortly after commenced TO deliver his lee
ture on ''Ireland and her Poets. The KeV
gentleman passed In review various hlstSTl-
cal events in reference to Ireland, and show
ed the undying attachment OF the IrlSh peo-
pie to their creed and country-an attach
ment which the terrorS and tOrtureS OF the
barbarous and uurelenting penal code IN the
davs of Harry the Eighth and Queen Bess
were never able to weaken, much less to eN-
tirpate from the hearts of our martyred an
cestOrs, whose noble example inspires with
true Catholic fervur, n characteristic of the
Irish race wherever located on the habit
able globe.
He also alluded to the geographical posi-
tion and natural advantages of the Green
Isle" and showed that, situated as she is on
the commercial highway between the Old
and New World. her vast capabilities in the
scale of national prosperity would, If de-
vcluped by fostering native parliament,
individually realize for her that status among
the nations to which she Is pre-eminentiy
entitled,
Great glorious and free
First flower Of the earth and first gem of the sea.
Previous to the lecture the Liberty Cornet
Band, of Loretto, took their places on the
gallery and played ia first-class style our IA
vorite nationa, airS, ''St. Patrick Day, and
the Wearing of the Green" 1t is but right
here TO state that the band are fully entitled
TO n large need of praise for the spirited
manner in which they complimented the
Rev lecturer and the clergy in playing in
advance of their carriages as they drove
through the principal street of Loretto.
I conclude this communication with the
following lines from the Life OF ST. Pa
trick -
II Ear westward lies an Isle of ancient fame,
By nature blessed and Scotia IL her name;
Enrolled in books, eXhaustless in her store
Ofveiny silver and of golden ore:
Her fruitful soil forever tecm5 with wealth

Her vertlant ields with milk and honey flow
Her woolIv feeces VIC with virgin snow
Her waving burrows II Dat with bearded corn,
And arms and arts her enyied sons adorn

Nor raw nous lion through the peaceful groves
No poison there infects, no scaly snake
