 The mission which opened at St. Mary's Church on Sunday, October 1st, closed on Sunday, Oct. 8th. It was conducted by Father Hunt, one of the ''Oblate Fathers" During the mission, the Reverend Father labored most zeal ously for the spiritual welfare of the congregation. Mass was celebrated each morning throughout the week at 5, and 8 o'clock, at which services large num- Der were present. The evening exer- cises consisted of sermon and benedic- tion of the Blessed Sacrament. Father Hunt is most talented preacher. His sermons were of the highest order, and on Sunday his sermon on the gospel of the day-"beloved, am with you always, even to the consummation of the world," was particularly fine. Nearly every member of the congrega- tion appreciated the sacrament during the retreat. No doubt the Reverend gentleman was exceedingly gratifed to know his labors were so heartily appre- ciated. The good people of St. Mary's parish would fain prolong his stay among them; but another field of labor awaits him. He kindly consented, at the earnest solicitation of Father Lynch, to, open 8 Mission at St. Joseph's Church, on Sunday evening, and closed on Wednesday evening of last week.
 On Sunday, October 22, the corner stone of the new church at Cornwall Bridge, will be laid, Rt. Reverend Bishop McMahon, of Hartford, officiating. Father Hunt, who so successfully con- ducted the late mission in Lakeville, will deliver the sermon on the occasion. Two o'clock P. M. is the hour appointed for the ceremony to take place. Doubt less large number will be present.
