Death of a Catholic Clergyman.
The Rev. Cajctan Marianl, pastor of the Italian
Itoman Catholic Church, "St. Mary Magdalen
of Pazzl," in Marriott street, below Eighth, died
yesterday morning at the parsonage, in the
seventieth year ot his age. Though he had bean
failing for some time past, it was not until
-within a few days that apprehension of a speedy
dissolution were lelt. A tew months sino he
fell from an elevation in the church, and tha
injuries thea received he neyer recovered from.
The decease of the venerable clergyman will be
a source of sincere sorrow, not only to his con
gregation, but to a large number outside of the
Catholic Church. Ue regarded it as one of the
duties of his sacred office to administer to
bodily ills, and so wide a renown had he ac
quired for the cures he had made that the sick
flocked to the parsonage from all parts of the
city, the rich and tha poor alike seeking his
aid. His memory will bo not less cherished by
the poor of his congregation for his charities,
which were widely dispensed. He will be
buried on Monday morning next, and the
funeral services will take place at 8t. Paul's
Church, Christian street, below Tenth.

remodel'ed the oniire interiors and thrown the
two esttthlishtcents Mito one. As most resident!
of our city know, Mr. Henkeis is largely en
gaged in the manufacture and sale of furni
ture. The 1nimtne building is nueci
with every variety of honfeiiold turnlture, and
has been so constructed that the purchaser by
pnssing through a variety ot corridors and
alcoves, can inspect the goods In detail. The
struclnrc to its uppermost story is used for the
storuee ol goods, and it Is the special boast of
Mr. Henktls that every article sold is warranted
to be periect in its una. ine alterations are
net yet completed, as the proprietor has it in
contemplation to erect immense buildings upoa

than double the capacity ol the warehouse, lue
show-windows on thttnut street are only tem

others of artistic design. The entire building is
fitted up as salesrooms, the proprietor having
his manufactory in soother part of the city. This
is in all probability the largest larnitare establish
ment in the United States, and the admirable
quality of food a niauuiactured by Mr. Ileukels
are acknowledged wherever they are known.
The enterprise ot the proprietor is a credit to
our eity, and we ate wratiHed to observe that our
prominont merchants are paying especial atten

business. Within tne past ten years we nave
greatly advanced in this matter, and Mr. Henkeis'

establishments of Philadelphia.
