DEVOTION THE CROSSES FOR THE
NEW CHURCH.

NEW CHURCH.
Three huge crosses. brightly FURNISHED and glitter
ing in the lights of the sanctuary. were the most
noticeable features at st. Francis Xavers Church at
high mass yesterday. The which stood
opposite the high altar was twelve feet high, the
arms being six feet across. This imposing ornament
will grace the front of the church which the
Jesuit Fathers will have ready to dedicate to
the service of God. The other crosses eight
feet high. with arms of five feet They will be also
placed in commanding positions the new church.
They were blessed and solemny yesterday
by the Rev. Father Charaux, Provincial or Superior
OF the Order The ceremony was . simple one few
prayers and the sprinkling of the with holy
water 1t is expected that these crosses will be seen
at considerable distance when they are in their
places on the new church. Before high mass the
candles were blessed it being the Feast Of the Purca
tion Rev Father Langois celebrated high mass and at
the Gospel Rev. Father Merrick preached sermon
on Devotion" being continuation of a series of
discourses which he has been giving for SOME time
past He made very feeling and eloquent allusion
to the late Father Pelletier, who died in the
sanctuary. Death could scarcely come in a nobler
form than when the priest is summoned in sacerdoal
robes, administering. sacrament in the sanctuary
itself. 1t was death such any one might feel
pride In welcoming when the soul Is prepared and
the armor is put on. He related many interesting
points in the of the lamented priest, who

PORK PACKING.
The Winters Business in the West.

Inc WlnC0f'S BUSINESS In the WcSC.
CINcINNATI, March l9.-The Price
Current, tomorrow, will publish the re
turns of the winter pork packing at the
leading western cities, Cincinnati, Chica-
60, ST Louis, Indianapolis, Milwaukee
aud Louisville. The Price Current as
snmes that the returhs embrace over one
hundred thousand hogs belonging to the
October accounts. The aggregate at
these places. is 5,3OO,142 head, against
1864 ,670 head last year. Tue average
net weight is 2l7 45 100 pounds. Tie
average yield oflsrd, per hog, is 40 80
leo pounds, against 3S 6l-l00th OF last
wear. The amount Of pork made Is $685.
900 bbls. against 523, 200 bbls. of last
year, The production OF mss pork was
$4,000 bbl-, against 4S3 900 bbls. OF
last year. The returns thu, far received
from the interior places indicate about
the same falling off in weight at the
country points as al the large cities. The
calculations are being based on reports
from places representing nine tenths OF
the interior packing. The same paper
contains reports from 225 places in re
gard to the prospective supply and time
OF marketing spring and summer hogs,
and arrives at the conclusion that in Ohio
Kentucky and Indiana, there win be a
marked decrease, possibly small de
crease in Illinois, little If any decrease in
Iowa. and probably as many in Missouri
and more in Kansas and Nebraska. The
most liberal news are expected In May
and June and the latter part Of the season
The total packing OF last summer was
about $4,000 hogs, and it is regarded
likely that there will be decrease OF 90
to Is per cent. this season. ..,1,,.
