A sermon in English was preached by Archbishop O'Connell. All possibility of friction on account of parading of the Sixty-fifth regiment tomorrow as an escort to the Sacred Host Is now past.

His plot failed through the arrest of an accomplice and the Interception of a letter from Var. MORE LAIN WANTED Report that C. & 0. Wants to Secure Site for Local Switching Yards.
