The festival of st. Patrick was observed
in this city by special masses at st. Mays
and st. Augustines and the evening by
grand concert in the Opera house under the
auspices Of Rev. Fir. Doherty. The house
was moderately well filed and an excellent
musical programme was finely rendered BY
the competent choir of st. Mary's, ably as
sisted by some strong local talent. The
lecture by Father O'Brien Of Bangor was
scholarly effor, showing plainly much study
and ptinsiaking research on the part OF IL
author. Il and the musical numbers were
most enthusiastically received.

Two events of interest to collectors 0c
Cured on Wednesday. One was the open
ing of the sale Of the collection of rare
postage stamps owned bv Mr. Marcus Mayer
Stamp and Coin Company in that city. The
sale for the first Jay aggregated $500
Some Of the highest prices paid were the
following For the very rare five cent red

sa25 the five cent Hawaiian blue stamp OF
1881, s2S6; the Ave cent blue envelope of
S225. Other rare stamps sold at prices vary
ing from So 10 ssh. In Boston on Wednes
iay fine specimen of that most rare of all

MIR, ". T. Skinner of Boston, who ab-
tanned i, for New York customer. and the
price paid was $500. All sorts OF interest
ing stories are told about this issue and cot
lectors and dealers differ in their statements
as to how many of these dollars are known
to be in existence Some affirm only four,
others say eight, while one dealer in coins
SAYS positively that he can locate twelve,
four of which are owned in New England.
The Boston Evening Transcript gives list
accounting for eight, one of which is h.id
be the British Museum, for which il paid
$500. and another is owned by Col Phiueas
Allen of Manchester n. II for which he
paid $500, We think one of these coins
could be found not thousand miles from

lu coinage is shroudei in mystery. Accord

whether they were held in the treasury and
