Editok Freeman : Sunday, December 8tb, 1830, was a bright aud glorious day in San Antonla, Florida, and all nature seed ed to rejoice and in a manner participate In the beautiful ceremonies attending tbe re ception ef Miss Adda Soanlan Into tbe or der of Kenedictlne Sisters. An account of this can cot but he of interett to many of your readers to whom she was well kaown as the daughter of Henry Scan'an, Esq. At 9 o'clock In the morning the RU Rev. Bishop Moore, who was to officiate, with the assistance of Rey. Roman Klrschner, O. S. B. ; Rev. George Lester, O. S. B , and Rev. Boniface, O. S. B., awaited tbe prompt arrival of tbe novice, wbo. at tbat hour en tered tbe church with ber bridesmaids. Sis teis Agnes and Boniface, nnder tbe direo tioo of Mother Superior Dolorosa Scanlao. Bister of the bride. The novije was attired in a beautlf at moire silk: robe adorned wltb orange blossoms In profusion tbe very ap propriate gift of her brothers and was in every act, gesture and motion and In every detail of dress a picture of beauty. Inno cence and purity. Prof. Glalmard. wltb a select and elegant choir, furnished enchant ing music In keeping with the grand cere monies about to take place, and tbe church of St. Anthony was crowded with an eager, respectful and appreciative congregation. At tbe proper moment tbe Rt. Roy. Biab op ascended tbe pulpit and in feeling, elo quent and glowing language described tbe oblations, selfdenlals and duties of tbe ttate of lire chosen by tbe novice, and turn in? directly addressed ber wltb the question was she willing to undertake and accept these duties. To this came tbe response In clear and ringing words and tones in tbe af firmation. Coneluding bis Instructive ad dress tbe Bishop turned to the altar In si lent prayer while Miss Scanlan presented ber crown and offerings at the feet of tbe "Mother Immaculate." The novice then fcubmttted to tbe cntting ef ber beautiful golden balr and then sup ported by the Mother Superior and atten dants left the sanctuary. A few moments maiked ber return when tbe black dress which was to take tbe place of the white bridal robes was presented to her by tbe Bishop from tbe altar. Again retiring to disrobe and adopt tbe garb of the order just presented ber. tbe novice returned to the sanctuary, now the newly veiled "Sister Maria Dolores of tbe Immaculate Conception." In this connection It Is proper to say tbat the new sister bad tbe distinguishing bocor of being the first to join, or be received Into tbe order of Benedictines In tbe South. A pleasing feature of the occasion being the fact tbat tbe Mother Superior was the full sister of the new novice and ber mother In religion. It Is proper to mention also, tbat Motber Dolorsa Scanlan. O. S. B., is here establish ing an already successful school and flour iMng convrat commanding tbe esteem and respect of the entire secular community. It would affjrd pleasure to dwell on the beautiful scene, the gloiious day. the decor ated sanctuary, the grace and beauty of tbe novice, tbe bride of the Lord, the rapturous enthusiasm of tbe congregation, Protestant and Catholic alike, but space I fear forbids. Numerous presents and congratulations were showered on Sister Maria Dolores, with heartfelt prayers for ber bealtb and happiness. Violas. Rradc TowaiKblp Items. Reade Township. Dec. 19, 1839.
