anniversary of the episcopal conservation of
Plus TX, will, as has been already an nounced
in the daily press, take place at st. Patricks
Hall this Saturday evening, the 18th inst, at
O'Clock. Independently of the disting guished
reputation of the orator, the subject is one so
full of interest as to form an attraction in it.
self. 1.-THE Greatness of the Papsoy in the
Midst of the Greatest Prosecutions is q theme
replete with the very romance of history. In
itself it cannot fail of interesting; in tie mes.
ter hand which will present it, it cannot fail
Of iustruotinG and enlightening.

ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE CHILDREN.


We have good news for good children. TIE
boy who never told lie is to be honored in his
memory by the selection of his approaching
birthday for the first of series of festive en-
tertainmeuts to be given in the school hall OF
the Dominican Convent on Drysdes street.
| 1t is we'll known that heavy debt on the
Convent has to be met, and by some means or
other discharged by the Community of Reli-
gious on whom the responsibility rests. Sew
eral gentlemen volun teering assistance, ad
vsed the present undertaking for various
reasons as being the most practicable now at
hand. Much amusement, with some rtfresh-
ments may be had for the outlay of . few
dimes or rickels. The price of admission is
fixed at % cents; children 10 cents. Tne hours
will be from noon to six O'Clock, and the days
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of the current
week.
L !dies of the different parishes Of the city
have kindly come forward with Gers If help,
and ST.. Johns congregation will not be slow in
making known theP gratitude. The people
can best show proof of the existence of this
sentiment by II 'cking around the tables aud
thus giving the ladies the encouragement of
success. Tnis is what is called for by their
own gracious deservin2s and the merits of the
cause they uphold.
The youth of St. Johns must look we'll to it
that the juvenile following from the other con-
gregations does not outdo them in their part of
the work.
Every thing will be ordered happily for the
enjoyment of visitors, and cheaply for their con-
venience with respect to whatever they please
to buy. No annoyance is to be allowed in the
" nf Enlicita tn tal ia tnla
in one or other article; nor otherwise to de-
viate from settled purpose to spend much
little aford or may feel disposed.
Parenta will he afforded the double pleasure
of themselves participating in tho fun and see
ing their children g. into ec7tacies over the
b, Dad simplicity of the plays which are to be
brought forward
The point Of the whole will be to edify and
make tho visitor happy, at the same time that
the many will 10 AXE light work of thAt which
in itself is too heavy for the few.
The few are the Nuns who cannot be de-
pressed, aud the people knowing it, feel indif
ferent at ease until relief is accorded and
peace of mind restored. In the name of the
nuns and in compliance with their wish, we
acknowledge that the gentlemen and ladies
conferred with have been most kind and
ana nave contributed lDerauy OF
their means and personal services.
The mere mention Of some of the acts to be
played will awaken the young mind to a state
of the liveliest anticipation.
Mother Goose's Tea Party will introduce the
young folk to her Son. Then will follow
Little Peep, Little Boy Blue Tom the Pliers
Son, the Old Woman in the Shoe, Old King

One Of the most striking lines in Mr.. Tup-
pers drama of Uashiugton was the following
Many a fair flower is burdened with prepoe-
terous appellatives.
The New York Times shows how the process
of permit alton and combination can be ap-
piled to poetry of this description:
Many a burdened fair is preposterously aow-
cry with appellatives.
Many a burdened preposterons is appella-
lively nowery.
Preposterous flowers at fair are burden
s0mely appellative.

Ladies of Charity of St. Jossph's $ Parish.

St. Joseph's parish enjoys the distinguished
honor of having the largest and one of the
most efficient Conferences of the st. Vincent de

efficient society of ladies for the relief of the
poor. AS affording an example for the emula-
ton of the ladies of other congregations, where
we doubt not such societies would be of great
benefit to the destitute, and are greatly need

CHARMING roads out West now. The
mud is so deep that people ride through the
streets in boats drawn by mules. The tele-
graph says "boating is easy"-except for the
mules. The Chicago Tribune suggests as
remedy the widening of the W heel tires. But
they would have to be made broader than
snow-shoe. On the whole we ought to be
content with New England weather. A snow
blockade is much easier broken up than a
mud blockade. and is not half so nasty.
