Right Rev. Dr., J. N. Gallagher,
Episcopal Bishop Of Lou
isiana.

Ihe announcement that this emf
nent divine would be in Alexand-
ria on the first Sunday in Lent and
oticlate at St. James Church was
s"mclent to attract large con-
course both from town and conn
try; the threatening and inclemcnt
weather conld not deter them. The
Bishop has a host of friends and
admirers in this section who have
so often dwelt in revered admira-
ton on his brilliant discourses
characterized as they ever are bv
fervent piety and elegance of die
ton. Genial and atfable socially,
learned, eloquent and profound as
a pulpit orator, his visitations are
ever joyfully anticipated. On the
present occasion it was rendered
additionally interesting, solemn and
impressive by reason of his confer
ring ordination as Deacon of the
Church on Mr.. J. w. Bleker, a
young gentleman who has for some
time been pursuing his theological
studies under direction of our Par
ish priest, Rev. H. G. Duncan
There was a printed programme for
the exercises of the day, which was
carried out and greatly aided the
congregation. First, morning pray
er, which was followed by the sac
red rite of Confirmation to a class
OF eight persons. This ceremony
was performed by the Bishop in his
usual dignified and impressive man.
ner. The subsequent charge to
the confirmed was touching and at.
fecting. A learned and eloquent
discourse followed this, and pointed
and elaborated the duties to be as
sumed by the candidate for Holy
Orders, and was likewise replete
with depth of thought, pungent and
searching truth for all, and then the
ordination services were most i'm
pressively performed. Finally, the
sacrament of the Holy Eucharist
was celebrated, at which the par
elephants were more numerous than
usual. The large audience through
out the protracted services showed
marked interest and appreciation
BY the closest attention. The mu-
sic was varied and most excellent,

announcement through the columns
of this journal, the field trial hunt,
between Judge Daigre's dog Hur-
ricane, and Mr.. John w. Prescott's
dog Lufra, both we'll bred and
trained, though the latter is merely
a puppy as yet, being less than two
years old, came off on Monday near
the Hynson place, and was wit
messed by a party of eight, this Re-
porter being one of that number
The dogs were set to work about
10 o'clock in the morning, and with
short intermissions or when ordered
up by their respective masters, con-
tinued "the chase after birds" until
8 o'clock in the afternoon, the time
previously agreed upon by both
Messrs. Prescott and Daigre. The
race, as it is called, was won by
Mr.. Prescott's Lnfra, she scoring
AZ points, as against Hurricanes
40. Neither speed nor style, both
important merits, and which, so we
are informed are always counted
in all regular matches of this kind,
were not considered in this contest,
for had they been, all who wit
messed the match are prone to say
and admit that Lufra was by far
Hurricanes superior. The Judges
were Messrs. Hunter and Schnack,
both members of the Rod and Gun
Club, and they performed their part
to the satisfaction of contestants and
visitors. The day was not favora-
BILE to such sport, being a tlifle too
winday-hence, but few birds were
bagged. We learn that another
match of this kind is shortly to
take place.
