From Cardinal Rampolla.- Reverend
and IlluStriouS Sir Your eXcellency cannot
tail to know that the archbishops set over the
various ecclesiastical provinces of the Repub
lie of the United States Of America, have, in
more than one Of their assemblies, taken
council with respect to thlee societies which
have grown up in the aforesaid Republic,
namely, the Odd Fellows, the Sons Of Tenn
perance, and the Knights Of Pythias. And
you must be also aware that the aforesaid
archbishops unanimously decided that the
whole question as to these societies should be
submitted to the Judgment Of the apostolic
see. His Holiness, therefore, committed this
nails of the holy Roman Church and TO the in
quisitors-general. These, then, in general
congregation had on Wednesday, June 30,
1891, confirming a decision previously made
as to the aforementioned societies, decreed
that all the Ordinaries throughout the United
States must in every way strive to keep the
faithful from becoming members of any Of
the SAID societies and must not fail to admon-
ish their people to that effect and that any
thus admonished must be debarrod from the
sacraments should they fail to abandon or
keep aloof from the same societies. This de-
cree his Holiness fully confirmed and gave it
complete effect. 1t is therefore communicat-
ed to your excellency that through you itmay
be transmitted to all the archbishops, bish-
ops and other ordinaries of the United States,
and for the due custody of the souls of the
faithful, may be by these ordinarias carried
into effect. In the meantime beseech Al
mighty God to bestow upon you all benefits
and blessings

be communicated by the archbishops to the
respective suffragans, and by them it may be
promulgated. With all reverence and affiec-

The Weather.
ANOTHER FALL OF SNOW,


The four-inch snow which fell the day
after Christmas was reinforced Saturday
night by q heavy sleet, which made it as
difficult to get to church Sunday morning
al If the streets had been sheathed with
glass. During that forenoon the thermom-
eter rose and by evening the sleet had en-
tirely disappeared. On Tuesday morning
a heavy rain began falling and washed away
what remained Of the snow. Towards
evening the thermometer fell and there
were q number Of attempts to snow.
Hardly any one believed that those at
tempts would succeed. The ground was
warm and wet, and it seemed impossible
for any snow to stick; but it came down
in such quantities that it did stick and it
was fully eight inches deep before We'd
nesday morning. It fell so fast and thick
that many thought we were going to have
a repetition Of the 30-inch snow that fell
December 18th, 1890.
Up to yesterday at o'clock snow had
fallen thirty-six hours, and notWithstand-
ing the warm and wet ground On which it
FIJI, there were some ten inches Of it on the
surface.
