Thok of Little Rock, Ark, A. Levy of
LoHgview, St. James parish, M. To-
bias and J. Lemas of Donaldsonville,
Rev. DR.. Sophar officiating. The So
lemnity and interest of the ceremony
were enhanced by the singing of the
Episcopal choir, assisted by Prof. J.
c. Ayraud, the accomplished organ
list, who kindly rendered their servi-
ces for the occasion. A large and at
tentive audience was present. We
have the manuscript of DIR. Sophar's
excellent sermon, copies of which will
be printed for gratuitous circulation
early next week.

association made honest old Bob Noel

Martin. Sam is an exemplary young
man, whose physical proportions, un-
doubted courage and equable temper
tit him pre-eminently. for the position
to which Gov. Nichols has. assigned

Having purchased stock of new
top and open buggies in New York
before the change in their partnership
was decided upon, Mrs. NJ. Israel &
Go. are now offering the buggies at a
sacrifice, as the stock must be got rid
OF. Buggies usually sold for 500
and upward may now be procured for
sou. A rare opportunity is thus pre-
sented to those desiring vehicles of
this description, and it should be en-
oraced at once, as the offer will not
be long available.

Mr.. 1. A. Kingston, the sewing

and the public generally should know
that during next week he will remove
to his new building, No. 155 Railroad
Avenue; also that he: is now prepared
to dispose of machines at a reduction
OF Sl5 on all styles from former prices,
and will furnish them at this rate
either for cash or on time, as hereto
fore. Thus a machine formerly cost
ing $40 may now be had for $55; a
500 machine for S45, and so on through
the list.

We believe, but an official commission

In the Catholic creed this is day
of fasting and abstinence-called the
Vigil of Pentecost-tin preparation
for the feast of Whit-Sunday, or PEN
tecost, which occurs tomorrow
And when the day of Fentecost was fully
come they were all with one accord in one
place.
And then appeared unto them cloyen
tongues like as of fire and it sat upon each
OF them.-Aots, II, Il 3.
Pentecost is of Greek origin and
signifies " the fiftieth," it being the
fiftieth day after the resurrection,
when in fulallment of the prophesy of
Christ the Holy Chest appeared in
the form of tongues of fire and sat
upon the heads of the Apostles, who
were assembled together. The ancient
Saxons designated the feast of Pente-
cost as White-Sunday-since cor
rupted into Observation-Disclosures on
the preceding evening the Catechu-
mems or converts, were clothed in
white and received tie Sacrament of |
Baptism. /
