Letter bead i.v Ciicncn. Tho excite
ment in tho Ileilian-Grcth "Miracle" was
not ubatcd until Sunday morning. The
announcement that Father Ilcinan would
on last Sabbath morning retract his nilraclo
performance, caused, at an early hour, a
largo number of persons, both Catholics and
Protestants, to attend early mass. Tho
church was filled, and after his services,
Father Ilcinan stated that ho was in receipt
of a letter from Archbishop Wood which ho
now proposed reading. Tho following is a
copy:
The Archbishop, having heard and care
fully considered tho circumstances preced
ing and accompanying what is derisively
called tho "Mauch Chunk Miracle," said to
lialro been wrought on tho person of woman,
jflibso eccentric piety has neither good senso
nor sound Catholic doctrine for its founda
tion, require to instruct you that in his judg
ment It is a delusion and a pious fraud.
w iinout inquiring as to tlio extent to wlncu
others jiarticipatcd iu this lamentablo folly,
ho dcsiies to mark the whole proceeding and
tlio principal actors in it with his distinct
and unqualified disapprobation and con
demnation, and to say that a repetition of
anything of tho sort in this diocese will bo
visited with tlio severest censure authorized
by tho laws of tho Church.
Iter: Father Heinan rcadlhd letter in tho
German language, and tho services closed
without any further comment upon the sub
ject. Ho refused to be interviewed iu refer
ence to tho matter, but says his duty as a
loyal churchman was never again to allude
to tlio subject. In Father Bunco's church
tho letter wa3 also read, and by tho way of
comment tho Father ftated that ho was in
no way connected with tho miracle, that ho
was only present as any other 6iectator,and
that ho ilid not hold himself rcsixmsiblo for
anything that happened. It is all over. No
Catholic speaks about it, and of course tho
Protestants havo said all they can say. Gone

Fpr tho CABEOX Advocate.
Lciilghtoii 'ovr and Then.
It has beendho privllego of " Transitory"
to obscrvo tho jrreat change, wrought In
moro than half a score of years, In tho pro
gress of your town nnd tho enterprise of
tho citizens bf Lehighton. Literary and
church facilities, as well as business con
veniences, havo augmented remarkably.
Not a great many years ago, when tho citi
zens applied for tho county seat (which, by
tho way, should haV'o been granted, as it is
tho most beautiful and best adapted location
in tho county). Madam Rumor had it noised
abroad, "Lehighton supports .six taverns
and no church; educational 'Advantages of
public schools inferior." But at this junc
ture Lohighton can vio with any other
town of its size in these respects. Somo
years ago I at various times passed through
tills part of the country. Tiicn things had
quito a different astiect; no business edifices
after city style, no banking institution, nor
numerous other indications of prosperity!
would greet tlio traveler's eyo as at present.
Your town of Lehighton can compliment
itself upon its standing in literary conveni
ences, ciiurch facilities, business capacities,
Ac. Tlio banking institution iu tho center
pf your town, under the auspices of compe
tent and reliable ollieers, gives a new impe
tus to tho enterpriso and prosperity of your
economical business fraternity; such ns tho
indomitable head of the pork establishment,
who spares neither timo no'r means to run
tho machinery beneficial to tho community
in general, which, notwithstanding tho dis
apjointmcnt3 nnd hard times, is a great
blessing to tho public. Such invincible, go
ahcadativo business capacities, in connec
tion with tho well-founded integrity of tlio
rest of your citizens and thcro aro not only
a few of this kind with whom I havo be
come acquainted during my sojourn here,
command the resjiect of every unbiased citi
zen. Tho last, but not tbo least, I wish to
mention iu this brief eneonium is tlio print
ing establishment of tho highly-esteemed
C.iiinoN Advocate, which publication is
issiird weekly brimfull of spicy editorials,
local and general news, and which doubtless
was conducive, in ti rcat measure, to tho
advancement of tlio interest of tho com
munity. Hence it is self-evident that each
individual who patronizes and sustains tho
CArtaoN AIjvocath is, directly or indirectly,
supporting his own personal interests, pecu
niarily and intellectually. "Transitory"
has been an attcrltivo reader of tho Advo
cate for somo time, nnd hesitates not to say
that sucli a journal merits, yea, dcsQrvi'3,
tho patronago of every family in Lehighton
and in tho county in which it is published
that can read tho English language. Tho
paper loses nothing by passing tho boundary
lino, as all will bo wiser for it and gainers
in the etui in a pecuniary sense. Tho pro
prietor has apparently bestowed much labor
and means upoil tho enterpriso to enhance
tho interest of tho Cap.don Advocate, as
well as to promote tho general welfare of
tho community. TnXMstToay.
