Rev. James Cleary.

The Message, published at st. Vim
cents college, Cape Girardeau, Mo-,
says:
"Since the last issue of The Message
another ordination has taken place
among the students of this years
theology class: Rev. James Cleary
has recently been called from amongst
US and elevated to the holy priesthood.
Having thoroughly prepared himself
for the great event of his life by
making good spiritual retreat before
leaving the college, Father Cleary, on
the 23G of last month, shook hands
with the many warm friends whom
he leaves behind, and took his depart
ure for Davenport Iowa. On the
morning of the following Sunday he
was raised to the sublime dignity of
the priesthood in that city, by Rt. Rev.
Henry Cosgrove, D. D. The ceremony
was performed in the Sacred Heart
cathedral, and rendered more auspi-
cious by being attended with the
singing of pontifical high mass.
At half past three in the afternoon
Father Cleary sang solemn vespers,
being assisted as deacon, by Rev.
J. J. Cassidy a student in our SEM
mary department in 'S8, and as sub
deacon by Mr., D. Molyneaux, of this
years theology class. His first mass
he celebrated at his native Hollandale
Wisconsin, on Sunday morning, Jan
Sd. The field of his future labors is
Keokuk, La. He has been appointed
assistant to Very Rev. Thomas O..
Reilly, V. f., Of st. Peters in that
city.
We feel assured that Father O'Reilly
will find in mis- new assistant all he
could reasonably look for in a noble
hearted, Jealous, hard working priest
and that the people with whom he
comes in contact will repeat the SEN
timents of high regard we of st.
Vincents feel for him.
Father Cleary's ordination will be a
most welcome announcement to his
many college friends of former years;
for he is an old student at st. Vlncent's.
He entered the Seminary in Septem-
ber 'S7, and has, during the four and
half scholastic years since that date,
devoted himself energetically and
constantly to the important and
difficult studies preparatory to the
reception of the august sacrament of
holy orders. He has been a faithful
student, model of right department
and an example of piety, the object of
the admiration and love of his fell
lows and an alumnus Of whom our
college may well feel proud. He was one
of the eight on whom Deaconship was
conferred by Bishop Cosgrove, in st.
Vincent's church, this city, on the
morning of the 18th of last June.
The Message unites its best wishes
with those of the faculty and the stu
dents of both branches of the college,
and presents them to Father Cleary in
his newly accepted field of labor.
Farewell, and forget us not"

Irregularities in the Mail Service.

Reports from Dotsonville reveal
the fact that people along that route
have received no mail this week. 1t
seems that the carrier got into
trouble some way with the contrac-
tor at Corbandale a few days ago,
and since that time no mail has left
Corbandale for the north side of the
river. Some of the best people in
Montgomery county live in that
section of country, and it is source
of annoyance to them not to receive
their letters and county papers.
This route, by the way, has caused
more trouble than any route in the
county, and there is very little doubt
that it needs a thorough overhauling.
The following, from the Dickson
County Press, indicates that pretty
much the same state of affairs exists
there:
"Uncle Sans mail from Cumber-
land Furnace to Dickson has been
delinquent on more occasions than
one since Christmas"

Looking Over Tax Books.

The Board of Mayor and Alder
men met at the city hall last night to
inspect the city tax books. Alder
man Neblett, of the First ward, not
being present, that ward was skip
ped. The books of the Second ward
were taken up and at the time OF
adjournment, about 1890, they had
gone through the first seven letters
of the alphabet, inspecting the list.
This is one of the smallest wards in
the city, and if the same speed is kept
up they are in for an allsummer
campaign.
