VIZ observe that Bishop Dwenger, OF
# Wayne, Indiana, has published in the
CashOlic Telegraph, Of Cincinnati, a pas
,Oral letter against mixed marriages, that
il marriages between Catholics and Pro-
tsstants. As reason and justification for
bis position against such marriages, he
saws that at recent funeral Of an aged
Catholic, OF the 3O5 descendants present,
not one was q Catholic. This resulted
from mixed marriage. Therefore he
says:
We therefore announce To you our fixed
determination not TO grant dispensation
10 a Catholic man that he may marry q
nor. Catholic woman or girl, unless in
most extraordinary cases, and then when
an almost absolute certainty exists that
she will soon he q Catholic. Priests will
take notice Of this, aud spare themselves
and Us the annoyance OF useless applica'
ton.
lie adds that public penance will be de-
manded Of all who go to Squire OF
Protestant preacher to be married, and
continues:
The church never grants a dispensation
without the distinct promise-1. THAT
the Catholic party should not be hindered
or interfered with in the practice OF relig'
ion." 2. "That all children should be
baptized, raised, and educated In the
Catholic faith" 8. 1.-THE Catholic party
should promise to do every thing possible
to obtain the conversion Of the non.Cath'
oc party"
We order that in future two copies o.
these promises should be made in writing
one to be kept in the church OF the place,
and the other TO be sent to the Bishop.
It seems from the same issue O
h. Catholic Telegraph, in which the above
appears, that the recent back out at the
las. moment Of young McMahon, Of Col
umbus, Ohio, from marrying Miss Plat
was owing to the fact that he was Gath
Ollie and she Protestant.

Soon after the pilot left the vessel at Bic,

lasted until the evening Of the 22d, when
the vessel had become complete iceberg.
The ropes were frozen in blocks and the

wet through and benumbed with the cold.
There was no fire on board, nor any way
of making one, the vessel having had her
decks swept. About II P. N. the vessels
stern began to break up, and the men with
difficulty managed to take up a position
in the forward part Of the ship, where
they slowed themselves in their wet
clothes, exposed to the terrors OF the night.
During the interval John Evans, oil
Canlaroon, aged %, scotchman, and D.
McQuilken, q lad Of Is, were frozen to
death. All the rest OF the crew were
more or less frost bitten. When day
broke it was found that the vessel was two
miles from land. The weather was still
rough and intensely cold. At II o'clock
they set about launching the only boat
they had. They were successful, but uu.
fortunately the boat filed with water.
They however managed to get in and bail
out the boat, go they rowed ashore. On
landing they were in terribly exhausted
condition. Noticing mans foot steps on
the ground they followed the tracks for
about ak miles. Evans, the cook, died at
the foot OF an old tree. He was 42 years OF
age and hasa wife and family at Liverpool.
The captain and three Of the crew are very
badly frost bitten.
