O'HARE assembled at the Cathedral to celebrate with him the tenth anniversary of his ministry and to do honor to him as their beloved pastor and faithful friend, who for the past ten years has given unsparingly his time, thought and energy to the work to which his life is consecrated. Notwithstanding the fact that only a day was allowed for preparation, for it was by mere accident that such an event was surmised, the alter was filled with the choicest and most emblematic offerings, and the red and white so bright by blending bespoke the happy hearts and good wishes of his congregation. In accordance with the reverend pastor's wishes the Mass was a low one, yet all who were fortunate enough to hear of it participated; and had it been more widely known the Cathedral undoubtedly would have been crowded. Many offered their communion in thanksgiving for the blessing of the past decade of years in giving to the Cathedral so faithful a shepherd. The organ voluntaries were finely rendered and the solos exquisitely sung. The bells, too, pealed forth their rejoicing. The reverend gentleman leaves this evening to assist at the dedication of a church in Hartford, Ct. **** Wayne County Items Sodus, Sept, 4 - A son of Ferdinand RADDER of Lyons, aged 13 years, in company with several companions, was in swimming in the river on Tuesday last, when RADDER was seen to sink. One of the boys, by the name of Fred ANGEL, immediately dove and lifted his body from the bottom, and, with great presence of mind, rolled him upon a barrel until life returned. Hon. Marvin RICH of Marion, died a few days ago, aged 86 years. He was one of the oldest and most respected citizens of his town, and leaves a large circle of friends to mourn his death. H. HYDE of Wolcott seems to have swallowed the Republican nomination for Sheriff. It looks as if T. W. COLLINS of Lyons had secured the nomination for County judge. It may be that McINTYRE and NORTON will have something to say about that. William H. TUCKER of Lyons lies very ill at his residence in that place, and the prospects are that he will not recover. A gang of amateur burglars are operating in Lyons. Several ineffectual attempts to enter houses have been made within the past week. **** Find ALL of the News Abstracts for Monroe Co., NY at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/NY/Monroe/index.html -- GjS
