CORPUs CHRIsT1.-Last Sunday the
Roman Catholic Church, of this place,
had its annual festival Of Corpus
Christi. For some reason, unknown to
MS, il was not held on the day on which
the festival falls, 1. B., the Thursday af-
ter the octave of Whit4Sunday; but
was postponed to the following Sunday.
To one who has never before wit
nessedithe celebration of this festival
of Corpus Christi, it is both novel and
instructive. IT is derived from the
article of Catholic faith which teaches,
that the humanity Of the Savior is
really and substantially present In the
host consecrated at mass, and preserved
in the tabernacle upon the Catholic al
tar. The institution of the sacrament
was always celebrated with solemn
thanksgiving on Maundy Thursday in
Holy week, but was changed, we sup
nose. ON account of that time being
mostly taken up with the conmemOra-
ton OF the sorrows and sufferings of
the passion
The ceremony and decorations on
Sunday were typical and suggestive of
tho feast. BY 5 o'clock pm. the large
.chnrch building was full To completion,
and hundreds were unable 30 hear and
witness the church service. Had it not
been for the artificial breezes Of numer-
Gus busy fans gracefully manipulated
bF the fair sex, ii could we'll have
imagined himself packed III d safdine
box. After service in the church, a
procession Of the various religions and
IL ,-uch societies was formed, composed,
VA 4 se sorry to say, almost entirely Of
eatfhsaud children, and marched to the
convent: thence around the square to
the st. .Joseph's school, where 0 beanti-
IN, and ~tastefully decorated altar was
erected. At each Of these places the
-uroceysion halted, and after singing q
@chant OF hymn, held some service un-
familiar te thc writer, but certainly
suggestive Of the solemn ceremony in
which lie was participating
The procession and march were great
tn improved by the addition of an i'm
promptu band, composed Of the young
men De town. under the leadership of
Prof. Mayer, 1t did not however, COM
pare, III i humble opinion, with the
music of The church choir. The talent-
ed young lady organist certainly put
on her metal fexcuse tile ~expression1
fOr lie occasion, and evidently inspired
the organ; for we have eve hefOEn
heard ii send forth such melodious
sOnnus. We heard some old anti-dcin-
yian rather condemning the gay music
o. the organ and band, and felt in
clined u reply tOthim a the langnage
of ii celebrated diYins, that the devil
should not have al the gay music, the
church needed some.
