[condensed] News was received in the city yesterday afternoon of the death of Rev. Father Patrick T. ROCHE, pastor of the church of St. Thomas at Archbald, at Boston, Mass., at an early hour yesterday morning. Father Roche had been ill for several weeks and had gone to Boston for treatment. Deceased was aged 45 years and was born in County Galway, Ireland, in December 26, 1844. When quite a young ma he emigrated to America and his preparatory studies for the priesthood were at Georgetown College, District of Columbia, his final studies being at St. Charles Borremev College, Philadelphia. Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Hara ordained him a priest at St. Peter's Cathedral, this city, on July 30, 1874. After being stationed at the Cathedral for a short time, he was sent to Hyde Park, where he organized St. Patrick's congregation. Later he was transferred to Parsons where he organized ST. Dominick's congregation and built a church. He was then transferred to Archbald. He leaves a father in Ireland, one brother and three sisters. Father Roche was well fitted by nature for his priestly office of which his successful life work is sufficient evidence, his ability as an organizer being generally recognized. He was highly esteemed by all with whom he was acquainted and was revered by every congregation for which he acted as pastor. Personally, he was genial and companionable and counted many warm friends among Protestants. AT LEHIGH POND Ever since he has been here Prof. DUDLEY has spoken in a mysterious Mark Twainish sort of way about Lehigh Pond until the curiosity of the class was thoroughly aroused, but remembering the recent experience on Pocono, some of them thought it was raining still up there and resolved to wait for the trip on Wednesday to Moosic Lake. A goodly number got off at Gouldsboro, however, and made inquiries for cars on the tramway running to the mills near the pond. Schedule time on the tramway was "By guess or by gum" where you guessed you'd get there and by gum you didn't. So a two-seated carryall was chartered for the ladies and the gentlemen walked. The pond is a small one surrounded by a large spognum [peat -ed] bog. It is one of the finest places in the State to study Arctic Flora driven southward before the great glacier ages ago. Arrived at its shores, Prof. Dudley saw a long-leaved sun dew. Utterly regardless of the water he made two long strides ad scooped it out; then turned back to show the ladies the difference between it ad the round-leaved. As they stood listening to him they suddenly became aware of the fact that the water was pouring in over the tops of their shoes. There was a simultaneous screeching and the Professor was left standing with no audience. The look of disgust that spread over his face was one of the studies of the day. But after that the ladies accepted wet feet as a matter of course. Among the plants found on the tip which are not included in the present list of the Institute were a beautiful white-fringed orchis found by Burt CLEARWATER; the horned bladdernut, two species of carex of the sedge family, one not known south of Wayne county hitherto. Among the rare or interesting plants were the lesser mistletoe, a parasite of the black spruce, specimens of which are to be sent to Prof. Porter of Lafayette, Dr. Britton of Columbia College, ad Mr. C. E. Smith, of Philadelphia, for the Academy of Natural Sciences' the dwarf cranberry, the smaller club moss, found by Willie PECK, who also found a handsome double pitcher plant flower; the sun dews, two species, the long leaved (rare); the grass pink, and the pagonia two orchids were abundant. The pale laurel, lahador tea, larradia or leather leaf and wild calla were among the characteristic plants. To-day the class meets at 9 o'clock. This evening Prof. Dudley will deliver a lecture in the Board of Trade rooms on the native trees of the valley. An interesting subject to which all who are interested will be welcome. Wednesday the class will accept the invitation of Mr. William CONNELL to take lunch with him at his cottage at Maplewood, visiting Moosic Lake in the afternoon. MILITARY MATTERS [condensed] Preparations are under way at the City Guard Armory for the annual encampment at Lake Ariel of the Thirteenth Regiment which commences Friday. The regiment expects to move to the encampment promptly at 8:45 on Friday morning. The baggage of companies A., B, C, and D, the field and staff, and of Bauer's Band (25 pieces) will be taken to the Armory by Thursday noon and will be loaded that day. The carpenters who are going to camp to construct floors, etc. will leave either Wednesday or Thursday mornings by 8:45 train. Liberal requisition has been made for blank cartridges, so that there will be firing at the skirmish drills instead of the dull click of the locks, which always proves so monotonous. The regiment has been tendered the use of the cannon by Lieut. Ezra S. Griffin Post for morning and evening guns. Direct mail facilities have been secured after considerable trouble. There will be two mails to and from camp each day.
