The Coming Catholic Fair.

The meeting of the ladies of the Cath
Ole church at the cathedral last evening
was unusually large. They decided to
hold a fair on the 25th, 26th and 9th
inst, for the benefit of the church. Mrs.
Murrin, Mrs. Maginnis and Mrs. Miller
were chosen president, treasurer and sec
rotary, respectively. On these ladies will
therefore devolve very largely the man
agement and success of the entertainment.
A new feature of the fair will be the com
petition between the married ladies and
their younger sisters. Each will have a
fancy table, and of course will endeavor
to Guido the other in the number and
variety of articles and in the cash pro-
ceeds. The married ladies' elected Mrs.
Cahill, Mrs. Nolan, Mrs. Fisher, Mrs.
Burns and Mrs. Malone to solicit on their
behalf, while the younger ladies chose as
their solicitors the Misses Kate Joyce,
Maggie Conroy, Henley and Nugent.
The solicitors will begin their New Year.

evening, and the banquet followed as a
happy climax at Dyer's hotel, 10 o'clock
being the hour when the work of destruc-
ton began.
The feast was in every way creditable
to those who had charge of the arrange
ments, and was a %gastronomic success
from the appearance of the meek and
lowly oyster to the arrival of the fragrant
cheroot. Those who were present con-
sisted of G. N. Potter, A. Underwood,

them so gracefully.

fact the so-called luncheon assumed the
gorgeous proportions of a banquet, with
the usual formality and stiffness left out.

able devotion to tho good things of life
which were spread about with great prod
igality. Those present were Governor

put in position as soon as they are
made. The room is quite commodius,

the colors will blend nicely and make
most pleasant effect.
The Fourth M. E. Church building
is progressing nicely and the entire

penters are at present engaged in put
ing on the roof, which is quite high
and steep. The edifice will be very
pretty one from an architectural point
of view.

Lewis Thompson, colored, of Green
wich township, is in Jail. He was
locked up Friday afternoon, on "a com
plant of his wife, made before Squire
Riley, of beating her. Lewis has not
been very kind to his wife of late, and
several times, she says, has she been
the victim of his brutality. Re
Gently he gave her a severe beating,
and she complained to the Justice. but
the warrant was not served, in the
hope that he might do better. Friday
night ne again gave his wife beating,
hurting her severely. Saturday after.
noon he came to Bridgeton, and with
Sheriff Shaw's permission, entered the
Jail and looked around. He inspected
the cells, and declared that he would
soon be one of the boys in the fold.
After awhile he went down town, and
there Constable Bryant saw him. He
presented the warrant, but still he
would not have arrested Thompson,
had not the latter behaved badly, and
made threats. The result was, that in
less half an hour ne was back in jail,
ana will stay there for some time.
