SMALL CATHOLIC vAR n 5EBsEx.
Passengers leaving Jersey City or Hoboken
] for Newark hare often noticed handsome
building on the brow OF very prominent hill to
| the right Ut the railroad, near the Haeksnsack
River. It is the County Afms-Houae, and tue
! location Snake Hill. For soma time past \
local preacher named Breclznail has been on
ployed by the Young Mems Christian Assocta-
tion Of Jersey City TO hold religious services in
the Alms-House> Last Sunday be was refused
passage in tho ambulance belonging to the in-
stltution, and compelled to make his way to the
place On foot: On his arrival he entered the
chapel, and was violently assai1ed by pntty OF
Roman Catholic paupers OF both sexes, de-
ncunced as heretic, and ordered to leave. He
WAS obliged to leave to escape personal violence.
He managed however, to hold services in the
echool-room. although much disturbed and au-
uoyed by those who succeeded in driving him
from the chapel. This incident is trivial
thing in ITSELF but it is being turned to account
in the New Jersey Legislature to impcl anti
Catholic legislation, 10 that in tho end tha SUI
feze1s from the affair will be the Catholics.
ROW ABOUT CHURCH AFFAIRS.
Ths old North Dutch corporation, one Of the
Wealthiest in the land, in whose church the IA
nous Fulton street prayer-meetings were or
ganized and have been Kept up, is in trouble.
In August, 1874, William Hastings, one Of rhe
performers in tho old church building, since de-
molished to make room for an imposing TOW Of
Btores, brought suit against the church Consist
ory to oust them for allowing the Church prop
erty to he diverted for secular purposes instead
OF using it provided in the original grants for
pious and benevolent objects. The corporation |
ownE property worth millions Of dollars in John,

Lane, beside three magnificent churches up |
town, and numerous schools and mission build |
ings. Hastings claims that the terms OF the |
grants require that the gains from the proper
ty shall be devosed to pioua and benevolent OBJ |
jects, but TINT the Consstory have forfeited tho |
grants by building costly and expensive churches |
which practically exclude the masses from Hor-
ship and defeats the object OF the testators. All
this comes Of tearing down an antiquated and |
1solesa church corner Of Fulton and William
streets. and erecting row Of stored. |
