ed his left side, rendering it almost powerless. The
following Saturday evening he received the last rites from the church,
and on Tuesday morning he died. The funeral took place on the 13th of
November. There were present Rt. Rev. Bp. McMahon, some sixty priests,
and a large concourse of his afflicted friends. Father Walsh was born in
Easkey, County Sligo, Ireland, about fifty-five years ago. He was
ordained priest in St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, in 1880. His
classical course was made in St. Charles College, Ellicott City, Md.,
and was begun when he had reached the age of forty years. Before he went
to college he lived in Meriden, where he saved money enough from daily
toil to pay for an education. He was a good and faithful priest in every
sense of the word, and was most devotedly attached to his sacred duties.

THE Rev. Father Simon P. Lonergan, pastor of St. Mary's, Montreal, died
there, November 11. Father Lonergan was very well known and exceedingly
popular in that city, and, in fact, throughout the Dominion. He was a
man of rare culture and experience, and through his death the Catholic
Church in Canada loses one of its strongest pillars. Father Lonergan
died of typhoid fever, and to his labors among the sick during this time
of sad affliction in Montreal may be attributed the overwork which
brought on the disease.

MANY in Buffalo, says the _Catholic Union and Times_, will hear of
Father Trudeau's death, recently in Lowell, Mass., with sincere sorrow.
Deceased was a distinguished Oblate Father, who, while engaged in
parochial duties at the Holy Angels, in this city, won the reverent
affection of all who knew him by his priestly virtues and sunny nature.

SISTER.

THE death is announced of Mother Mary, the Foundress and first
Superioress of the Sisters of Immaculate Conception, a Louisiana
foundation, whose mother house is located at Labadieville. Known in the
world as Miss Elvina Vienne, she belonged to one of the best Creole
families in the State. She died in her 51st year, and the twelfth of her
religious profession.
