of st Michael's church to join the process
sion to Piney Grove. st. Mary's Band, of
Homecoming, dscoursed some very fine
sacred music during the formation of the
line, in which we observed St Josephs
Beneficial Society and quite number of
St Michaeps Temperance Society, of this
place, both in regaia, and preceded by the
national colors and banners of the order
! The national road was soon crowded with
vehicles of every description, laden to their
utmost capacity. To the people living
along the road the scene presented was one
of rare interest and to those making up the
procession one both picturesque and en-
! joyablc.
After n pleasant drive of ten miles the
procession reached St Anne's, a neat white
church, its spire overlapping the forest
trees with which il is nearly surrounded,
Its bright color contrascd beautifully with
the green foliage in which it is cmbowered
while the large, well clad, eXpcctant crowd,
already gathered, lent life and buoyancy to
the reception rendered the visitors.
The societies dismounteda short distance
from the church, formed, and led by the
| band, marched TO the church yard. where
they dsbandcd TO join in the quiet recrea-
ton which abounded.
The ceremony of dedication was at once
commenced by Rev. Father Brennan, of
Cumberland, who also delivered an elo-
qucnt and instructive discourse appropriate
to the occasion. He bestowed great praise
upon the energy and liberality which had
effected the erection of this neat and beau
tiful little church editicc in the wilds of
Garrett county To dedicate it to the ser
vice of Almighty God this assembly repre-
SCENTS Allegany and Garrett counties, Of
Maryland, and Somerset, of Pennsylvania,
met together here in the forest shade.
After Introductory remarks, of which the
above is the substance he delivered very
fine discourse on the " Church." which was
attcntivcly heard 10y the large assembly.
At the conclusion Mass was celebrated
for the first time by Rev. Father Ansclm, Of
Cumberland, assisted by Rev: c. Schmi,t
an deacon, and MI NJ Brennan as sub
deacon, and Mr.. Z. McKnzic as master of
ceremonies.
AT the close of Mass Rev. V. +, hchmiit,
pastor of the church, took up collection
which was literally responded to.
The number in attendance is estimated
at one thousand persons, all Of whom were
supplied sumptuously with provisions on
the ground The band contributed very
largely to the pleasure of the occasion,
giving at intervals some choice airs, For
one of its age it viii compare favorably
with any in this section,
St Anne's CHURCH is Il small but very
pretty structure, 25X40 feet in size; besides
neat altar il is well finished and sur
mounted with a we'll proportional stccple.
The cost is about $4,000, of which only
$400 is still due
