ArchbishOps Council, sad that he did not want to have
his published, but denounced the report as untrue

was raised at the meeting is absurd. The plan for
the new seminary was approved by the priests present
after the Archbishop had asked and obtained from
them an expression Of their views in regard to the
matter At the diocesan synod in 1os6 the priests
petitiOncd the Archbishop that they might have an
opportunity Of holding their retreats at some more
convenient place than the seminary at Troy. Besides
there are now 800 priests doing duly in this arch
diocese, and it would not be very long until 1000
were required on of the increasing population
and needs of the diocese.
THE new seminary Will accommodate 200 &c
cesiastical students fifty IN the classes OF philosophy

THE PALE FACED MAN WHO HAD NOT
LOST THE GRIP OF HIS OLD TRADE.
A slim-faced man with graveyard
cough was inspecting some trunks i'll

when the proprietor of the place
appeared and asked
"Looking for a trunk, sir?"

"Here's the best 81 trunk ever
made, and I'm the only one that
sells them less than So"
"No good" replied the pale-taced
man with a sorrowful shake of his
head. Gone of these trunks wouldn't
stand the journey from here to
Poughkeepsie." "
"What! I'll warrant them to go
around the world Take hold Ofone
and bang it about and convince
yourself"
"Do you give me leave to wrestle
with One?"
"Of coarse | do! Take right hold"
The man with the graveyard cough
drew in a full breath, called out;
.Sche-nec-ta-day," as if warning a
carload of passengers, and then
reached for the trunk. "Rip!" went
one of the handles -"r-i-p" went
the other, and as he stood it on
end and upset it and Topped it back
again one hinge busted loose and the
cover split in two. With a twist of
the wrist he gave it a slam-bang,
which completed the wreck, and with
a bow to the trunk-man, he joined
the crowd and disappeared.
"Upon my SOUL" gasped the pro
prietor as he viewd the ruins, but |
made q big mistake in himl He's q
