eventually be one of the greatest imitatOTs of
the feathered tribe to be found on this con-
tinent

We noted the fact couple of weeks ago
that a splendid new organ had been pur-
chased for St BarthOlomew's church. viii
more, and that a grand sacred concert wouId
soon be given to aid in paying for the instru-
ment. In this we were not mistaken as the
concert referred to will take place on next
Sunday evening, when a choice selection of
vocal music will be presented by several
singers Of well earned celebrity, among whom
we may name Mrs. NJ. Glassmire. late of
Summitville, and Mr.. w. NJ Hoerle. of
Johnstnwn. That magnificent solo, "Ju-
dith, " will also be rendered by youug lady
fully competent for the task, and having
heard Ter we can say truly that this one
feature alone is well worth the price of ad-
missiOn-ffty cents Doors open at O'Clock.
Rev. Ferd. Kittell who returned to his
absence in Europe extending over period
of nineteen months, has been three times in
the Eternal City of Rome during his COM
paIatively short lifetime His first soiOurn
covered a period of nine years, which he
spent as a student at the Propaganda bis
second visit occupied six months and the du-
ties connected with his last soiourn from
which be has Just returned, necessitated his
remaining there for fifteen months. His ae-
count of the various cities and other points or
interest which he visited on his return trip
is exceedingly interesting, and we hone that
some time he will take it into his head to let
the readers Of the FREEMAN have the pleas
IRE Of reading all about his'experiences. It
is almost needless TO add that Father Kitteu
comes back from the land of his ancestors a
confirmed Land Leaguer.
