The Catholic church this week cel ebrates the memory of the passion nnd death of the Redeemer. Every part of the sacred liturgy is directed to this end. The church oflicos are moro solemn and moro multiplied than in any other week during the year. They show her concern and trouble for the BUn'orings of her Redeemer and the sins of men. She lays aside every i expression of joy and festivity. Those , peculiarities are especially no ticeable in the exercises of the Catho lic church known as the Tonebrao , which is sung on the evenings of Wednesday , Thursday and Friday. This name is given to the service from the circumstance of extinguishing , during the course of it , all the can dles which have bonn prepared in the sanctuary for the ceremony. This exercise - orciso was hold in all the Catholic churches of the city lait evening at 7:30 : o'clock. To-day is called Mnundny- Thursday , which was instituted for the sacrament of 'tho Eucharist. The services in the morning are always very impressive. At the church of the Holy Family , nt the conclusion of the ! ) o'clock mass , there will bo a sol emn procession of children and clergy to the repository , which has already been erected and which is now in course of elaborate and artistic decora tion. tion.On On the following day the feast of Good Friday is commemorated on the death of the Redeemer. In the several Catholic churches 'hero will bo both morning nnd evening devotions. Saturday is HolySaturday , on which articles of devotion , such as water , oil , etc. , are blessed , and spiritual pre paration for the celebration of Easter Sunday , on the following day , It made.

At 8 o'clock Mr. Blank wont to the residence of his adored ono , and found her with no one else present but au old man. Ho sent the latter out to got some beer , and during his absence made indecent proposals to her , tried to kiss her , and manifested his passion in other ways. The husband was watching all these proceedings through the window , the curtain being partially raised , and at length when ho thought the proper time had arrived .to stop the business , ho broke through the door , and with a heavy black-snake whip wont for Mr Blank in a vigorous manner. The intruder fled and was chased for seine distance , falling every few steps to be goaded on by the relentless lash. At length , however , ho escaped down a dark alloy , a sadder and wiser mnn.
