We feel sorry to chronicle the death of Catherine Theresa Doyle near Mt: Carmol, dat'gitter of Henry Doyle, ou the 12th con of Stephen, who departed this life on the 29 alt., from the effects of la grippe about two years ago, and from whielr she never reviyecl. She was highly beloved and re- spected by all her companions. She puss - ed away with the consolation of having her affectionate Pastor by her bed side in her last moments, with the inspiring hopes that she was going to receive the reward which God has promised to those wholove Hint. Neither eye hath seen nor ear hath heard what God hath in stare for those who love Him. Her Parents and family have the heartfelt sympathy of all the community and the people of this village to whom :Ile are well-known y and highly respected.. She was a member of the Catholic church, and died at the mature age of 22 yea's and 34 days, Concert, The concert given by thePiza dos together with Mr. McNulty, at Mount Carmel, was a grand one. Unfortunately they had but very little over a two -third house, owing to some mismanagement of some of our postmasters or mail carriers. A number of hills were sent but were lost treats of and did not reach Mount Carmel to be dis- tributed, consequently a great many did not know the concert was to have been given. However, those who were there were more than satisfied. Exeter was well represented. The program consisted of music by the Orchestra, selections from the Vocophone Band, full choruses, glees, duets, solos. reading and comic sours. The chief attraction of the evening was seen in Mr. McNulty, the great comedian, who appeared in several new and comic songs, the rendition of which, together with his curious dress, brought forth roars of laughter and was heartily encored by all. He alone was more than worth the admis- sion fee. The concert over, the Pizados were all invitei to Rev. Father Keally's residence, where a very pleasant half hour was spent, Mr. McNulty being present. Wheu about to return home the Treasurer was handed a present of a few dollars floor Father Keally as a token of his apprecia- tion of the concert. The`Pizados wish to return thanks to Rev: Father Keally for the kindness shown towards them by him during their visit at Meant Carmel, and hope to meet him again in the near future, Wm.

True Mr. Mit- chell was in a low state, but contrary to the letter received by us his condition was not filthy and did not require the atten- tion of the humane portion of the commun. ity; but he was well fed, and given a comfortable bed. Mr. Rowtcliffe had made `application for his admission to the hosr,it- al, but as his ailment was not curable, the attempt to give alleviation to his sufferings, was, foiled, Mrs. Rowteliffe intirrrates,that Mr,. Willis shoiilrl haderhimself visited lir Mitchell, and learned Tris oonrlition before penning the article in question. 1lwdMns.
