The morn- ing service which began at 10 o'clock, was devoted to the ceremonial confirmation of be- tween fifty and seventy-f five children. from this ard adjoining towns. The touching and tender ceremony of the imposition of hands was feelingly performed by Bishop McMahon of Hartford, who afterwards spoke to the children of the significance and importance of the step they were taking; gave suggestive hints for their future religious guidance, and exhorted them to right and noble living The exercises of the afternoon for the dedication of the new bell, attracted many people, and the church was again closely filled. The ded- icatory sermon was delivered by Rev. Father Lynch of North Adams, and it was most scholarly and eloquent discourse, replete with illustrative poetical quotation, admirably ren dered The music of the day, furnished by singers from Troy, was worthy of all praise it was of high order, inspiriting and elevat- ing. The bell is gift to the church iron, the young ladies of the parish. It is of large size and excellent tone, and will prove ser vlceable and noticeable addition.
