The following named citizens of Milan

corps We can but give them passing
notice:

S. Rochett came to the light of day in
Canada, 1874. His early environments
were with the French Catholics. He

our introduction to this veteran we found
him very pleasing in conversation, and
without doubt the merchant prince Of

through his immense store. Father
Richardson is man of broad experience
and like Father Long, is trusting in the
chart and compass Of the God Of Jacob
for a safe landing on the Eternal Shore.

eyes frightened up as he said, Brother,
| am anxious to see on the other side.
