The following reference to a clever young Prince Edward Is!ander is extract ed from the Democrat, of Bad Axe, Michigan: The Holy Misson which was held in the Catholic caurch in this place last week clored Friday evening. Rev. Father Kelly, who conducted the services, is aready sp aker and the elcquent sermons he delivered stamped bim as a young man of uvusuai ability and one who will no doubt at some time occupy 4

fail to be convincingto his hearers. The '«rge number of Protestants who attinde! and were cordially welecom— ed at iuese services gave ample proof of the good feeliog existing in this community between the different denominations. If Fr. Kelly ever returns to Bad Axe he will fiod here a large number of friends not only in bis own church but also among those of the Protestant faith.

Concert at Moreti.—Last evening the people of Morell epent a very pleasant time at the children’s concert which was held in the hall by the pupils of Mount Mary school. The programme was select- ed by their teacher, Miss O’Kerfe, and no doubt the children and their parents also bave reason to feel proud of the splendid way in which they carried it through. The dialogues “ Stratagey,” “ Auntie Dim le” and * Missed His Chance,” deserve speci] mention, not forgetting the comic duett “ Reuben and Rechsel” which was nicely sung by Miss Georgie Cox and Master Tbeo. Muer, and was highly appreciated by the audience. A handsome sum was realized, and all went home well pleased.
