 Exhibition This Ev ening.-An exhibi- tion will visit this village to-day CThursday) and will give an entertainment at Town Hall this evening. It consists of variety of amusement and entertainment which is both interesting and instructive, and comes well and amply recommended. We give below the remarks of the editor of the Lee Chronicle, who before the exhibi- tion visited Lee, saw it at Norwalk, in this State. The Chronicle, of last week, says |:
 "The Stereo-panopticon of Dlbble, Dur and & Sumner, enables them to show you over two hundred magnificent views of scenery, architecture, historical events, etc., etc. Commencing with the Dawn of Liberty, in l776, they take you through the century, giving not only illustrations large as life of all occurrences of interest in our own, but also in other countries. A full description ot the buildings, etc., of the Centennial Exhibition, life-like DOT traits of the Presidential candidates for 1876, etc. Microscopic views, performing figures, magical and ventriloquial experi. ments, ending with the Grand Tableaux of 'Good-night,' The entertainment is highly recommended by press and clergy where ever it has been. The prices of admission are so low-only 25 cents for adults and 10 cents for children-that everybody ought to go."

THE LAST HOURS OF THE GREAT CARDI. NAL.-An Italian paper gives interesting particulars of the last hours of Cardina Autonelll who recently died. He was the Pope's right hand man. g man of great ability and shrewdness, and his name was we'll known in the Catholic church through out the world. He left large fortune and had already erected his monument at cost of $2O 900.
 Cardinal Antonelli did not return to his bed immediately after his last visit to the Pope. It is true that the attack with which he was taken ln his Holiness study was brought on by the lmprudent effort he made to descend the marble stairs on foot, and that he had to be carried back in the Pope's chair, but the first fainting fit hay ing passed, the cardinal refused to go tc bed. He would not yield, he would not give up to death, but struggled against i, with that extraordinary force of will, that indomitable energy of which he had given proof during the course of his painful nal. adv, when, in spite of the atrocious pain he suffered. he dressed as usual and, seated in hls arm chair. received the members of the Diplomatic Corps. Rolled up in fan nel-for he suffered from cold even during the hottest days of last summer-he dori- mated the acute pangs by which he was tortured, and with the pallor of death upon his face, but with smile on his color less lips, discussed the affairs of the East with the representative of foreign powers. Dr, Pelagallo, after having visited the Car dinal by the Pope's orders, told his holiness that his Eminence had not forty-eight hours to live. At this announcement the Pope sent for his pcrtantirsa, and had him self carried up stars. The cardinal was dressed and seated in his arm chair. when he suddenly saw the Pope appear before him. This unexpected visit immediately after the doctors opened his eyes; he un- derstood at once that his sentence was written, and that he must die. Pale, ema- cisted, agitated, and no longer master of himself, he rose suddenly to his feet, and then, falling on his knees before Plus IX., exclaimed, Most blessed Father, you are the Vicar of Christ, and can absolve ne 1; for charity hear me; and here commenced solemn scene. The Pope acted the part of the Supreme Judge, whose representa- tive he is, and the once formidable secre- tarv of state now became an humble peni- tant face to face with death, confessed his sins. At last the penitent became silent, and the hand which binds and loosens on earth and in heaven was raised to absolve him Sn Grticulo naortSs. The Supreme Pontiff, the Vicar of Jesus Christ, was call ed 10 judge the government of the Pope king, and the temporal power destroyed, to call down the heavenly pardon cn the man who had been it's head, and who had committed so many iniquities in the name of the representative of the Lamb of God. The moment in which the temporal domin- ion, personified in the dying Cardinal, knell before the spiritual power incarnate in the Pope, was certainly one of the grandest and most solemn in the history of the Papacy."
