pleasure Of the Bishop for refusing to throw
out of its library certain books that were
placed in the Index ct Rome, Guibord was
one of about two hundred members who
persisted in maintaining their connection
Herewith, and who appealed to Rome against
the Bishop. Guibord died suddenly on the
18th of November, 1869; but three or fou
weeks previous, when seriously i'll, he sent
for priest, who came and heard his con-
fessop. The priest, acting under direct IN

minister to him extreme unction un'

Iustitut, which Guihord declined to
do. He rallied from that Sickness, but bis

bord met one of bis felow-members Of the

was the news about their appeal to Rome.
The answer was that no news had yet ar

would be done them. 81 hope so, too,''

MONTREAL, September 4.-Tbe resistance
to the interment OF Guibord not only con-
tinues, but continues to be the absorbing
topic Of the day in this city. At all events,
the misguided people engaged in defying the
law cling to their purpose with tenaclty
worthy of better cause. This Is the more
astonishing from the fact thai the ecclesias.
teal authorities expressed determination to
place no impeachment in the way Of the burial.
Public faith is by many imputed to the cure
and Church authorities, II being held that the
mob would speedily abandon its perilous po-
sition If directly commanded to do SO by the
clergy.
A large number Of people went out to Cote
DIES Neges cemetery this afternoon in eXpecta'
tion of another attempt being made TO inter
the remains of Joserh Guibord. They had,
of course, their labor for their pains, as no
funeral took place. This movement was
mainly in consequence Of the statement 10

the burial would. be proceeded with to day.
