Gage shook lands with His Honor, and after a
few minutes conversation with tho two gentle
men, returned to the Pacific. Here he found
A1r. O'Hara waiting for him. The City Treas

shaken by a1r. Gage, and they went into the
latter's private Office.
Mr. O'Hara opened the conversation by saying
he had 4 very disagreeable duty to perform
they had been very oh friends, but he Was
obliged to ask him personally for the amount Of
nouey due the city.
Alr. Gage replied that he had received Mr..
Ouara's letter, and Considered that notice suf-
ficlent, not deeuung personal demand ueces-
eary.

REV. FATHER DUFFY-The recognition
of duty well performed, of services low
singly and unselfishly rendered, is always a
pleasure. But when that duty and those ser
vices bear the heavenly stamp and become
'assimilated to the cardinal virtues, the ad-
miration and esteem of men change from
'simple gratitude to earnest love.
On Tuesday next, the fourteenth instant,
the Rev. Father Duffy will have been
twenty-five years a Catholic priest. a
fsingle sentence that tells of lifetime Of
self.denial and of good works.
1t is proposed that the anniversary re,
ferred to shall be celebrated by the reverend
fathers many friends. To this end a meet
ing of ladies is called to meet to-day in St.
