DEPARTURE OF FATHER BROWN, OF MOBILE.
We learn with regret that Father
Browne, of st. Patrick's parish, is COM
pelled to leave Mobile for a short time by
his continued ill health, brought on by the
MANY cares of his position and his over
work in building and establishing the
various schools and societies of his parish.
Father Browne intends visiting his native
land, and we trust that the pure atmos-
phere and the renewal of the associations
of his childhood and youth will restore him
| to his parishioners in the enjoyment of his
wonted vigor and health. We understand
that several gentlemen friends of the
Reverend Father contemplate presenting
him with a substantial testimonial before
his departure.-Register, July IL.

Rev. Brother Patrick, Assistant Superior
General of the Christian Brothers, arrived
in New York, on Friday last, by the steam
ship Washington from Paris. He received
| a hearty welcome at Manhatten College
where he labored arduously for six years as
! it's President. Mr. James H. Mitchell, one
of the graduates of the class of 1874, read
an address of welcome, which was listened
to very attentively by all present, and to
which the Reverend Brother responded at
length. Rev. Brother Patrick, before his
return to France, will visit the different
colleges and schools in America directed by
the Christian Brothers.-Oatholic Reriew,
