! FAREWELL DINNER TO THE VI
GAR GENERAL.
Watertown, Sept. 1.-THE relations Of
HVicar General Mulcahy and the Rev.
Father o'Donnell have for years been
of the most intimate nature. The sep
| aration has been felt most keenly by
the latter, and his expressions of it
took the form of farewell dinner. 1t
was a most elaborate one, rendered the
vicar general last evening Among
the guests were the Rev. Father Nc
Keen of the Sacred Heart parish, New
| Haven; William O'Donnell of New Ha-
! ven, G. Collard Adams of Cromwell,
several parishioners of Waterbury,
| Thomas Shields and e. C. Marggraff of
Watertown. After dinner the Rev. Fa-
Their O'Donnell gave expression to his
l ebPPI SSlebItpll VI hlihly -
of many years, his regret at the APP
parent sundering of ties, and wish that
his future work in Hartford might be
as successful as it had been in Water
| bury, He then presented to Father
Mulcahy a painting of the magi, which
is at least 300 years old. In response
| Father Mulcahy gave expression to his
regret at the removal, having been the
recipient of the most hearty attentions,
and then spoke most feelingly of the
relations which had existed between
Father O'Donnell and himself. Mr..
Adams in his remarks referred to the
| fact that his experience as clergyman
and later as a layman enabled him to
| view this matter from a double stand
| point He reviewed the work of the
| pastorate of nine years, whose outward
| expression was evidenced in st. Pat
| rick's hall, st. Mary's school building
| and convent, the improved Notre Dame
and Calvary cemetery, while the spirit
ual work was found in the wonderful
| growth and unity of the parish. He
dwelt particularly on his services to

would be realized in his absence more
| than at present. The church had wise
| ly promoted Father Mulcahy, though
| not in pecuniary sense, a point of in
| difference to him, as his gifts to the Ii
brary and st. Mary's school indicated,
| by placing him at the head of a great
| parish, which, while possessed of con-
| vents, hospital school and cemetery,
| would soon feel the quickening pulse
| of a master hand at the helm. The
| diocese, not the parish, was the unit
and we are parts of the great whole,
| each to do his allotted part. In pleas
| ant tones Mr.. Adams closed by suggest
/ ing that he considered himself highly
| honored by being a guest upon this &C.
| casion. Addresses were made by a
number az others present, and all
kneeling received the final blessing of
the vicar general. During the evening
Miss Kate Hayden and Miss Carrie
4 Bergin Of Waterbury presented the
| vicar general with a handsome watch,
the counterpart of the one made for
Monsignor satolli, which they had
made expressly for this purpose.
THE CROCODILES
At the nineteenth annual of the Croc-
odile club at Compounce Lake, Septem
Der 5, over four hundred were present.
Beside other features of the affair al
lready mentioned, Secretary Newell read
a poem by Charles Brown C"Hube'D Of
Forestville, which closed as follows:
My brother Crocodiles, forgive the past,
land 7 will promise this will be the last
I know full we'll tbs time for me to stop;
My goods are gone and / must shut up
shop.
For nineteen years blessed with Dame
Natures SMILE
1t never yet rained on Crocodile.
We've held each year beside this lovely
Our annual reunion and sheep bake;
King Heaven grant you all may come
once more
Another year and then complete the
score.
And after that, still blessed with peace
and plenty,
May you all live to enjoy another TWEEN.
