1t is one ii the things 4 fellow never raarn
woifnd out, why it is that as soon as priest
has been silsnced for some cause, and re,
fuses to submit, he forthwith becomesa mar
sdttyr and a hero with certain religious zeal-
equip auip him .as ior 4 y crusade .a against
Rome. ?gaa3 =
@nS7 nNew York at the present time there
.a,isa certain Father MeNamara, who has
toqhadhis priestlya faculties Withdrawn frpm
him by his Bishop, and is nov, engaged In
i,a foundiag.hs "First Church Of ireland ." in
the vicinity of Water street. New York.

He claims that the Catholics Of Irish ori-
/ gin have ceased to hold the ancient. faith of
h.nIreland, hence his project. Itissaid that
5s,rt The pastor ,is oyer jealous, and that the
Irish are too lukewarm and degenerate to
appreciate the noble and patriotic revival
1o which he strives 10 awaken. It's alsosaid
that collisions between the apostle of the
ancient faith and his neighbors are Of con-
slant recurrence, and that he, thus far, sig
z7 hally failed to snpplant St. Patrick as the
Primate Of all Ireland. Mrs. Hetfernan,
adi ofWatersstreet, is a staunch adherent Of
s&o thsclaifas of St. Patrick, and all the learned
historical disquistions of Father McNa-
1oomss all of his elaborate researches and
y,eall, bis persuasiye appeals, have failed to
weaken her allegiance to the saint oftra-
o. Ndition. AS last resort the Intervention
bs6of q poliee, agistrate was . few days ago
invoked by Father McNsmara. Mrs.
Heffernan was summoned to show cause, at
the Tombs Police Court, why the apostle
Of the ancient faith should not receive due
respect, and she be enjoined from molest-
ing or otherwise harraesing or annoying
s., the reverned gentleman in the propagation
Of his creed. The latter, it is thought,
" would surely have triumphed; but nnfortu.
nasely, he was not aware Of or else forgot
tso the first maxim ofhim who enters the for
ensic arena, that is ito make sure Of his
proof" In support Of his charges against
Mrs. Hefernan he called as witness Mrs
Keating, when, to his utter establishment
baa that lady broke forth into denunciatior
ofFather McNamara himself and vindi-
cation Of the respondent. Said Mrs. Keat.
q ling g:-f1 don't blame Mrs. Heffernan a bit
Sure he dobe going about telling the peo-
spplethat they are all Italians and their
children" "areItalian brats, and sure they are
=, not Italians at all, but decent Irish work
=, ing people, and what is more he do Be al
ways abusing them that 60, to St. James
,st Church, II he, would not abuse the people
they wouldn't abuse him, and it's only his
''e fault If Mrs. Hefernan blackguarded him
.aw when he ,blackguarded her" 10 n r,

plants, remarkipg to that gentleman GA
man ofyour education and calling should
a not descend to low controversies and scan
4l dulonsl recrimination with your neighbors
You are well aware Of the love and ven
Grafton which these people bear for their
d. 1faith, and whatever your own views are.
- you Rave no fight To- assail them with
coarse and indelicate epithets, which only
irritate, scandalize and lead to brawls. 1
.. shall certainly protect you and your adhe-
3n rents in the lawful exercise Of their right
TO worship in such manner as you and they
,t see fit but shall not give sanction or en-
bo couragemsnt to unseemly wrangling or
disgraceful religious pickering on the
a street or elsewhere. The case is dis.

otherwise Of good sense would encourage
just such men as Father McNamara.
