The Coming Celebration of St.
Patrick’s Day in Augusta.—The Hiber
nian Benevolent Society will celebrate the
day by a procession through the principal
streets of the city, and will be escorted
by different other organizations to the
Catholic Church, where a Grand Solemn
High Mass will be celebrated, when the
Rev. James O’Hara, the Orator of the
day, will deliver the Anniversary Sermon.
At Night. —The Festival of the Saint
will be celebrated at the Church by the
blessing of the Statues of Saints Patrick
and Bridget by the Venerable Pastor, the
Rev. G. Duggan. The Statues are the gift
of our esteemed friend, Mrs. Bridget Nor
ton.
A Grand Sacred Concert will be given
by the Choir, who will be assisted on the
occasion by a lady of Savannah, who has
kindly consented to be present, and others.
Curing the intermission between the first
and second parts of the Concert, the Rev.
Abram J, Ryan will deliver a Lecture
appropriate to the occasion. The pro
ceeds of the Concert will be devoted to
the payment of the new Organ, lately
erected in the Church, which is truly an
ornament to the Oity. The programme
lor the Concert has been carefully selected,
ami we have no doubt but a rich musical
treat is in store for the citizens of Augusta;
add to this, the Lecture to be given bv
the Poet-Priest of the South, will make it
one of the Anniversaries of Ireland’s
Pairon Saint, Joug to be remembered. In
our next issue we will give the full par
ticulars.
Courtesy.— Through the courtesy of
our young friend, B. W Wren, Esq., of
At.antu, Ga., we have received compli
ment ary tickets over the State Road, and
*L ); >i } utnam, Kimball <fc Ramsey’s
Sleeping Car Lines for 1309. We appre
ciate these courtesies of our young friend,
and hope to avail ourselves of them, even
‘Gt he only to thank him in person, and
h'i him all the good things wo wish him.
In thc meantime, he will plea.se accept
our teanks, and also present our acknow
jegements to Mr. Superintendent Hul-
Cl ;’ ,f tlie Stil te Road, and to Mr. Kim
b:‘h, <>f the Sleeping Car Lines, for their
P art * n this compliment.

This is a pious work, full of religious in
struction and interest, by the eminent con
vert from Judaism to the Fold of Christ,
and is now presented, for the first time, to
the Catholics of America. It will famish
appropriate reading, and subjects for medi
tation, during the holy season of Lent,

Lth, 1869. Atlanta, Ga.; Atlanta Book
and Job Office. 1869.
M e tender our acknowledgments to Mr.
I>. W. Wren, of Atlanta, for copies of Urn
above Report.
A\'e Maria. —We are in receipt of this
excellent Catholic periodical. 11 is devoted
particularly to the Holy Mother of God,
and is published weekly at Notre Dame
University, Ind., encouraged and approved
by the highest authority of the Church.
The Guardian Angei.. —We invite at
tention to the advertisement of this capital
little Sunday School paper in this weeks
Banner, and warmly commend it to our
young Catholic readers.
A German Paper. —The enterprising
editor of the Goldsboro (N. C.) Daily Mes
senger—by the way, one of the best and
sprightliest in the “Old North State”—
announces the publication of a live German
newspaper, to be called “Die Nord Caro
lina btaats Zeitung , ’ to be published
weekly at $4 per annum, iu advance. It
will be Democratic in politics, and will,
we hope, have a large circulation in this
section of the country. Address Julius A.
Bonitz, Daily Messenger, Goldsboro, N. C.
♦
The Missionaries.— The liedempto
rist Fathers, as already announced, will
commence a Mission at the Catholic
Church in this city, on the 28th instant,
and continue the same for one week. The
services will be of an interesting charac
ter, and the Faithful, as well as all who
seek salvation, and desire special graces,
are invited to attend.
The Missionaries arc Bcv. Fathers
Gross, Eathke, Fritag, and Donohoe-
The Mission will close on the 7th of
March, after which the Missionaries will
divide and two will go to Locust Grove,
and two to Washington, Ga., at both of
which places they will give Missions
from the 9th to the 12th of March.
Ave Maria.— We publish in this issue
the advertisement of the Ave Maria. It
is one of the ablest conducted Catholic
periodicals in this country, and should
have a wide circulation among those who
cherish the grand old Faith.
French Instruction.— We have hud
the pleasure, this week, of meeting with
Prof. Alphonse Gagnier, who visits our
city for the purpose of teaching the
French language. He has the highest
testimonials, both from his native France,
and from colleges in this country in
which he has taught. Among them is
one liom I rof. J. L. Jones, Ex-President
of the Masonic College of Covington,
Ga., which, of itself, ought to be suffi
cient to commend him to the confidence
and patronage of our citizens. There
inu be no doubt the best way to learn
tne I rench language is to learn it from a
Nud\ e iienchman who understands i
thoroughly and speaks it concisely. In
no other way can the student get a cor
rect pronunciation of it. Professor G,
will receive pupils either in classes or
singly, and devote his time and attention
to instructing them in this now.necessary
and beautiful accomplishment. We be
speak for him the kind attention and
liberal patronage of our citizens.

Wonderful— Henry W. Burr, No.
49 Vest 14th street, while on a visit to
the West, was attacked with severe ill
ness from drinking impure water. Life
was despaired of, and it was thought that
he must die. His wife was immediately
sent for, and in a day or two was at his
bedside. Having herself seen the bene
ficial results from the use of the Plan
tation Bitters, she insisted upon their
being administered to him, which was
done, in quantities prescribed by the at
tending physician. The result was almost
as it by magic, and in one half hour
horn the time they were given her hus
band was out of danger, and by a moder
ate use of them three or four times a day,
he was soon able to resume his journey
to his home. This is but one case of many
thousands that we know of.
