AN OWPARDONABZE
ERROR.

we are reliably informed that
when the Catholic priest appeared in
the pulpit last Sunday he uttered
certain remarks which were evil
IDENTIFY calculated to prejudice his
congregation against this paper 1t
appears from the ill-tempered criti
cisms of our self-appointed censor
that The Gazette has committed an
unpardonable error in stating that
the blessing of the cross in the Gem
etery would take place on the Sth of
June. Instead of the 9Th this cere-
mony will take place on the 10th of
June.
Wishing to be correctly informed
in this matter We called upon a
gentleman Of unimpeached veracity
whom we had and still have every
reason to believe absolutely trust
worthy and incapable of intention
allv misleading anyone. This gen
tleman who is Catholic and
closely connected with the affairs of
the church at this place. informed
US that the blessing of the
cross would take place on the 9Th
of June and it was so stated in The
Gazette on the following Saturday.
The information was given to us in
good faith and it was published in
good faith and the allegation or in
timation that this paper has been
guilty Of an attempt to mislead the
Catholics Of this parish by pur
posely making an erroneous state
ment is unfounded.

ter can be of but little concern to
the readers of The Gazette we will

"A Black Sheep -

The most instantaneous of all the Hoyt
successes, "a Black Sheep" will have an
elaborate production, direct from Hoyt's
Theatre, New York, at the Park opera
house Saturday evening.
The emphatic hit scored by this re-
markable merry rec during its long
run in New Yo,k, Boston Philadelphia,
Chicago and other large cities is fresh IN
the minds OF those who keep posted up
on the successes of the great metropolis.
The pieces will be presente1 this seas
on much better than ever. The cast 10
said to be by far the strongest and best
which has ever appeared in this popular
comedy, and the scenery and stage ac-
cessories are on an appropriately ade-
ouate scale. The cast plumbers about
80 people, and is headed by William Do
vere, the originator OF the part OF Good
fellow Cunning, the Arizonia editor, a
part in which Mr.. Devere added imme-
diate and lasting fame as a character
delineator before the footlights, to his
alre ady wide reputation as a delineator
Of character in verse. The Hot Stuff OF
the piece is Mr.. George Allen, fsvorite
comedian, who is said to make good tho
title of the parts as we'll as tho title OF
the piece. Tho remainder OF the cast is
reported equally adequate, and includes
some very ellknown specially artists
whose acts are cleverly introduced into
the action Of the piece.
The setting Of the piece is very elabor-
ate, and entire new set of scenery having
been painted by Mr.. Arthur Vosgtlin
scenic artist of Hoyts New York Thea
tre, for this seasons tour.
That the hrst presentation OF Mr.
Hoyt's laughable skit in this city will be
accorded hearty welcome is pretty we'll
