DIOCESE of Wheeling.

We notice the following correSpon-
dcncc in the Catholic Mirror, published
At Baltimore:
PAHKERsBURG, w. VA, July, 1879.
MEssrS. EDIToRs--Bishop Kahn has
arrived safe, and is in the thickest OF his
worl; i'm the Southwest. Already audi
enccs in Russell county, in the Poor
Valley, at Bristol and in Arlington have
been addressed.
From Wythcville Bishop Kain will
visit Cherokee Fields, in Wythe county,
where there is chapel built, and the
oldest Catholic settlement in the South
west. If the Bishop decides to push on
thence to Independence, i'll Greyson
county, which will be new ground Tor
the Catholic missioner, he will meet
few believers to greet him. In 1857 but
one orthodox family resided I'm Grey
son, the IngoldbyS, of Little Fox Creek.
The same year could report but the
CAROLS, of Dog Spur, in Carroll
county, brother and sister, who
gave their name TO the county.
These CAROLS were Celts-persOns of
talent. of large benevolence, and the
most influential in the county. Both
lived to ripe old age, both died I'M
married, both merited to have the priest
near them in the dread hour of depdr-
turc. The Colonel represented the
county in Richmond for fourteen years
and upwards. His sister, Miss Mar
carct, was looked up to as one of the
most influential and edifying ladies OF
her dav. The Carrollsmanumitted their
numerous slaves before death, and pro-
vidcd for their withdrawal from Nir-
ginia to a free State.
The Rt. Rev. Bishop is highly graft
fled with the truly apostolic zeal and
labors OF the venerable Rev. Vim. Sill
Wan. of Abingdon. The zeal OF this
faithful priest is being rewarded with
consoling conversions in all the terri
tory of which he has charge. Long life
to him. l..
