bers Confirmed

one Hundred and Twenty-Five New Mem
bers Confirmed
The mission which began at St. An
thony's Catholic church on the 3Oth ult.
and closed last evening, was a very large
and important one. 1t was conducted by
Rev. Father Vessel, of Annapolis, Md :,
and Rev. Father Bnhn, of New York, of
the Redemptionist order. There were
nearly seven hundred communicates in
attendance, and yesterday afternoon Right
Rev. Bishop Shanahan administered con-
firmatiOn to ono hundred children and
about twenty.five adults, among whom
were 4 number of converts.
Last evening the sodality of 3. V. M.,
attached to the church, had its annual
May celebI atior. Eighteen young ladies
and ten young men were received as MEM
bers of tho sOlality by the right reverend
bishop, after which the usual procession
took place, i'll which the beautiful
picture of Our Lady of Perpetual
Health, which Father Raul purchased
in Rome when abroad, was borne. The
ceremonies closed with tho benedictinn of
the Blessed Sacrament, given by Bishop
Shanahan.
Tho music by the choir during the mission
is deserving of especial mention as being
exceptionally fine" 0 S.lutaris," sung
by Mr.. Drachbar, being quite gem.
The rev. fathers who conducted the
mission won golden opinions from tho
parishioncrs of st. Anthony's during their
stay, and Father Kaul, the pastor, is 70 be
congratulated on the large increase OF
membership added to his church.

Reorganization by tho New Owners-The
PrOPOsoal Route.
The purchasers Of the Reading, Mari
eta e Hanover railroad company, met in
Philadelphia to organize and elect officers.
The following were chosen
President-Samuel Eby.
Secretary and Trcasurer-J. n. Hutch
iDsOn.
Directors-Franklin b. Gowen, G.. A.
Nichols, Abram Collins, J. N. Hutchin-
son, Thomas Baumgar'lrer, Henry HES

On Wednesday, President Eby, G. A.
Nichols, (who is president of the Reading
& Columbia Il. R.,) and Supt. Wilson. of
the Il & G.. II. r., went over the bed of
the road and took formal possession.
Nh. Eby also made arrangements for
the erection, Of Il station, and reservoir to
supply locomotives with water, at Il point
near the residence of Henry Copcnhcfler.
This is the most convenient point for the
residents of NewtOwn and IrOnville to
take the cars, and it will be the most i'm
pOrtant station between Marietta and
Landisville.
Work will shortly eO1mence along the
whole line of the road. Nothing definite
has yet been done towards bringing the
road across the Chick les creek and through
Marietta.

THE JEANNETTE'S DEAD.
No Hope for Lieutenant Chipp-The Rodgers
Crew Safe.

ANo AAVP0 AOE A-lCuu0AAuL NIABpP-A LAO NOuSCEb
Crew Safe.
No additional particulars concerning
the fate of Lieutenant De Long and party
have been received. The navy department
officials have little or no hope of tho res
cue of Chipp's party. Engineer Melville,
in his last dispatch to the department.,
said he had no doubt that they had all
perished, but he would use every effort to
recover their bodies. Tho general impress
sion is that Chipp's boat capsized in the
gale that separated the three boats and
that all hands were drowned. The follow
ing is a correct list of the De Long party,
according to the records found in a nut by
Melville Lieutenant De Long, Surgeon
Amber, J. ]. Collins, A. Gartz, All Sam,
Alexy, H. II. Kock, J. w. Boyd, w. Lee,
N. Iverson and A. Dressler. There wcre
originally fourteen men in De Longs
party. Of these Noros and Ninderman
are safe and Erickson died and was buried
in the Lena.
1t now appears that the telegram sent
by Minister Hoffman regarding the loss of
the Rodgers was misinterpreted. Instead
of thirty lives lost it reads that the vessel
was lost November 30, and that no lives
were lost.
The yacht Kara of eighty five tons bur-
den, belonging to Sir Henry Gore Booth,
is taking in store at London preparatory
to proceeding to the Polar regions. Sir
Henry Gore Booth will render every as
sistance in his power to the Leigh Smith
search expedition.

Who are the Chrlstiaus,

Parson Taylor, the noted Methodist
preacher, once said :" "send Emerson to
hell? Why, he would alter the climate and
turn the tide Of emigration that way"
The New York Sun explains "that Mr..
Emerson and Mr.. Longfellow were un-
believers in the Christian religion. The es-
sence of belief in the Christian religion is
belief in the Deity of the Lord Jesus
Christ. Without the Godhead Of tho
Christ, there is no real Christianity. 1t is
true there is sort of doctrine which many
people fancy to be Christian, and accord
ing to this doctrine Jesus Christ was not
God, but a creature, man CT a created
being somewhat superior to man. But
this is not the doctrine of the Christian
religion. 1t is a Ne of Christianity. It's
station on the broad road to total unbe-
lief, toinfidelity. This sort of doctrine We
understand to have been the doctrine of
Emerson and Longfellow, They were
Unitarians. They were not believers in the
Christian religion.

The Supreme Court.

The committee of the Bar association,
which has been considering method OF
relief for the United States supreme
court, that will enable it to get through
it's accommodating business, has not been
able to agree upon areport. Two plans
are strongly advocated !; one dividing the
supreme court into two or more courts.
with power to refer cases argued before
them to the whole court when they de-
sire, and the other erecting intermediate
courts with final powers of decision in
certain classes of cases. Either method
might accomplish the object; but a com.
bination of both may perhaps be neces-
sary. The cases are accumulating on
the docket so rapidly that it will
not be long before some means will have
to be adopted of cutting down the mum.

this is unnecessary it would seem better
that it should moi he resorted to. If the

while referring to the full court the deci.
sion of such cases about which there
may be difference, it would seem that
at least double the number of cases at
present heard could be disposed of.
Something needs to be done {; for it is a
shame that Justice is so tardily rendered
as it now necessarily is in the supreme
court.
1t would take three years to clear the
supreme court docket, as it now is, with
cut the addition of any new cases and
every year more new cases are added
than the number of old cases disposed Of
So that yearly the court is getting farther

time when mans case can be reached

business of the court has grown very
much. Prior to 1S47 the number of cases
yearly did not exceed two hundred. In
1858 they reached three hundred. In
1870 over sixhundred were on the docket.

the close of the school term. the larger
boys and girls will be sent to the country
and placed in the care of respectable

a view of perfecting them in knowledge
Of the English language and the white

timers, bakers, hammer-makers, wagon
makers, farmers, &C., while many of the
girls are very handy with the needle and
at all kinds of house-wOrk. They arc of
ages from stalwart men down to little
children. They are gentle, obedient and
Industrious. A hundred or more of them
were placed in families last year, and they
were almost without exception highly
commended by their employers. Could
not some of our Lancaster farmers and
mechanics give 4 helping hand to Indian ed
ucation and at the same time obtain de.
sirable assistants by securing the services
