Sunday 1st was a red•letter day in t
life o1 a large number of the young
connected with St. Peter'schurch,*;
On that day forty-three candidates
ed themselves for confirmation, f two 0
whose were juvewles.
The ser. ices in connection gen at 9.30
.. w., when the children war examined by
the Bishop in accordance h the omen of
the church. All of tb candidates were
found duly qualified 1.1 were accepted
pntnsnly .

the service.

dered Mise Nellie Mate;or ac• and Thos.

mmedutely after the celebration of high
las the sacrament of confirmation was
administered, and a pledge of sobriety was
obtained from every las amongst the appli-
wants, which was t.. hold goad until the age
of twenty-one years was reached.
Bishop * 'onnor s a tine -looking specimen
of an Inshlrun, large and genial in appesr-
aa.•e, with a happy manner and pleasant
vane, and hu address to the candidates was
of a sound, practolol, c,,mmoa•sense order,
well calculated to (cave • lasting uupresion
on the meds of his bearers. Briefly epito-
mized his address wars follows
THE E\H4ITATtoO.
He warned all of them against keeping
bas company, for had company invariably
was the ruination of previous good character
and praiseworthy intentions. At first they
would blush and feel emberra.ed in bad
.omfany, but contact with the evil event-
ually wore that feeling off and callousness
ensued. There was not one who did not
recollect with regret the first person whohad
led them estray. Hu lenhaiundwelt upon
the necessity for avoiding the very appear-
ance of evil sd, far as bas company was con-
cerned. Another evil. nay -,one of the great-
est was Intemperance. and a solemn warn•
ing was entered agatnit it by the Bishop.
No vox was working greater harm than
that of intemperance. to the world at large
its baneful influence was felt, and he re-
gretted to know that even amongst his own
people it had got • foothold, with terrible
results in some dans. For that reason it
WY that at cntirmatioo it was now the
invariable custom to pledge the male candi-
aates to abstain until they had passed their
twenty first year in the hope that habits of
sobriety would be so formal by that time
that strength to resist the temptation would
peeved Turning to the girls. him lordship
said he did not think it was necessary to
pledge them to total abstinence, as from
their appearance he did not think they
would ever be subject to so fouls vice ;but
while eying this to them he would also say
that even amongst women drunkenness was
too prevalent. for even if one woman fell by
the evil that was too, many. No matter
how degrading drunkenness was in a map,
it was • thousand times worse in a woman.
Another evil that ,t was well to warn them
e kion wee there ding of bad books. An
isdllihle rule in this regard was that when
a hook was found that male the reader
blush, or made her feel that she would not
like to iaee her parents know that it had
been perused/, it was time to throw it away
at one. 11 was not a fit hook to be real.
A general admonition was given to all to
retrain at home as Tong as possible, and not
to be tempted to go to the cities. God
mase knew of the many young people who.
had gone to rain by leaving the old hearth-
stone to follow the hent of city life. In con-'
elreioe he advised parents to keep their
chiidres armed them as much as possible.

His LxcWlip thanke.l the congaegntwo
for the oomplintentary tone of the address,
and said although this was his first official
visit to (;oderich the people were not
strangers, for he /lad always heard a good
report from the pariah. He was glad to
see that credit was given to those who hal
gone before, for it was a good sign te see
people who were able to look back to good
work dine. It was another good sign to
see that the present congregation claimed
no credit for what they hal done them-
selves. for self -prune was not et all times a
desirable commendation. I;aderich hail a1 -
ways held a good position in the dwceee,
and although it might not be Materially
wealthy he was aware of the fact that the
parish was an important one and always
held a prominent place. He was glad to
see the people pleated with their pastor,
and giving him full credit for feithful
niinistratiow Whilst he preferred not to
refer to Rev. Father %Vest in his presences
be .the Bishop. was fully aware of the good
work he was doing in the parish, and knew
that 1.04 would bless him for the work's sake.
The canons beneficiary awl religious
societies then cane in for a (need of praise
from the Bishop, and he particularly ex-
pressed his rtsfactt:,n at the manner in
which the separate school was prized by
the people, paying an especial tribute to the
good work that was being done by the
Sisters of St. Joseph throughout this dis-
trict. In conclusion he said that,though he
did not desire to find fault, lie regretted to
be obliged to say that the church was not
what be would like to see, and certainly
was not worthy of Almighty God consider-
ing the size of the pariah and the
ability of the congregation. He did
not wish it to be understood that he desired
the people to incur more debt until they had
got nd of their present incumbrances, but
an effort should be made to get over the
existing indebtedness as sono as possible,
ami then a further effort ought to be made
either to improve the present church or
put up • new one. In view of the fact of
uniform good crops in the section this year,
liberal offerings should be made to wipe off
the present dept. They would never be the
poorer for returning liberally to the Giver of
all Roodd.
The ceremony lasted about three
hours.
A rosary and benediction service was
held at 4 r.,r., after which a number of
prominent nieinbere o the congregation
called informally upon his Lordship, who
was the guest of Rev. Father Nest.
At 4.30 r. w. Bishop O'('onnor, ac-
companied by Ven. I)sn Murphy and Rev.
Father West, set out for As1lield parish,
where a confirmation service was held on
Monday. The party returned from Ashfield
Monday afternoon and took the 4 o'clock
train for Sesforth to hold similar services on
Tuesday.

The following from The Winnipeg Free
fres refers to Rev. J. A. 'MacLachlan, •orc-
in -law of our townsman, 1). Gordon, and
formerly a resident of 4 orlerich
Asnoitg the tams registered at the I;rand
Union hotel yesterday morning were those
of Rev. .1. A. MacLachlan, wife and daugh-
ter, of Beren's River. It will be reweni-
bered that items were published aotue weeks
ago relative to their trip by small boat down
the Saskatchewan river on their way from
the Victoria mission, on which they have
been stationed for some yeah, to the Beren's
River mission, to which Ret. Mr. Ma:lach-
Ian was transferral by the Manitoba Meth-
odist conference at its but session.
Mr. MacLachlan had his boat built at
Edumonton for the voyage ; and he spent
about three weeks there getting it ready. On
the 27111 of July he left Edmonton for Vic•
toric, which is 80 miles down the river.
After taking on board hu family and his ef-
fects,be continued his eastern voyage,sailing
most of the time, except when there were
head winds, in which case, unless the river
was wide enough for tacking, he had either
to wait or set his mem at the .are. The
trip was a very pleasant one, though for
the most parr • monotonous one. At Prince
Albert a delay of a couple of days°aerred,
owing to rain. (;rand Rapids w•as reached
on a Saturday. and .unday and Monday
were spent there, awaiting the arrival of a
steamer. The next day they took passage
in the steamer and hal their boat taken to
Swampy Island, this voyage lasting about
24 hours. The remaining distant*, about
fifteen miles, they suints, Mr. MacLachlan
ti=ding bre way through a rocky and intri-
cate passage without a pilot. They
reached Beren's River on Thursday, 20t1
inst.
THtll.t.l(a tOCI=ENT+.
Not having a pilot Mr. MacLachlan had
to act as helmsman himself, although he had
never been down the river before. Then
were numerous rapids to run ; for example,
below Prince Albers, near Coal Falls there
are 15 rapids in about 20 miles, while the
river as exce rltngly crooked. There are
also a good many rapids above Prince Al-
bert.
The party were lost for three or four days
in Cedar Lake, and their provisoes ran out
so that they were reduced to fish.
The most exciting event of the vo age
was coming in contact with the new ferry
cable at Hattleford at midnight on a very
dark night. The cable struck the mast
about the middle with such force as to cut
into it about hall an inch. The lost was
at the moment in the middle of the river,
and Mr. MacLachlan was asleep. The boat
gave a violent larch ; and no doubt came
very near dipping. The rigging had to be
cut down to let the boat through. There
was naturals • short time of excitement,
though the danger was past before the voy-
agers knew what was the matter.
in passing through one of the rapids the
boat came within a foot or two of • rock,
which, if struck, would have broken it in
pieces.
Prince Albert nearly divides the distance
into two equal parts between Edmonton and
Grand Rapids, the total distance being
about 1,400 miles. This part of the voyage
occupied almost exactly • month. The low-
er portion of the river for hundreds of miles
tuns through a dreary, swampy country,
where there is little prospect of settlement.
On coming to Winnipeg Mr. and Mrs.
MacLachlan had the pleasure o hearing that
Miss Ratty. who had been teaching in the
neighboring mission of Saddle Lake, had re-
ceived an appoint to Benne River as
teacher there : she had started with
them, but remained at Rettleford, when
they supposed she had accepted • position.
Mins Ratty will go with then to ll.rsa's
River text week after they return from •
visit to lir. MacLachlan'• hither on the
(ilenboro breech of the C. P. R.

So far this Mc•I.reevy affair has been a
tragedy, the progress of which hsa sacrificed
great nano and to some extent the national
humor. Ottawa has been the scene of ex-
posures that have saddened and angered

watched the facts accu•uuletuig, the fact
that dimly revealed rottennees in places
high and low. A seine of drainatic pro-
priety and a deeper sense of justice are
wounded by the proposal to alter the cli-
max up to which this whole drama has
been leading. The end ought to be the
triumph of Tarte and the disgraoe of Sir
Hector Iangevin, the really heavy villain of

the punishment of the fugitive comedian,

collecting boodle with which to debauch the
electorate. Whether the ten per cent. re-

into the corruption fund or into the pockets
of the collectors is not known, but a little
incident occurred at a public gathering in
(:lengga+ry county in 1887 which ie worth re--
membering. The Cornwall Freeholder's ac
count of the proceedtings on nomination day
in (;lengary, when Messrs. Purcell and
M•cnraater were put in nomination, reports
the Tory candidate as charging his oppon-
ent with having been a Tory and with giv-
ing Sir Chas. Tupper • contribution to the
Tory campaign fund at the preceding gen-
eral election, in 1882. In reply Mr. Pur-
cell said :
"Mr. Macmaster has seen tit to make
certain charges against me which I will dis-
pose of as briefly as possible. He charges
me with having given Sir Charles Tupper
money for election purposes. Well, the
fact is : I an.i two partners had a claim of
about $100,000 against the Government, and
that was the only way we had of getting it
settled."
