JMaSf A HINT TO THE FARMERS OF BRADFORD
COCNTT —The loyal and patriotic farmers of Marion coun
ty. Indiana, feeling what is due to tbe families of their
fellow citizens who are absent in the army defending and
upholding the Government have volunteered to contrib
ute a certain amount of wood of other proceeds of their
farms, in order to enlarge the comfort and ensure the
support of such families. This is a resolution worthy of
the emulation of the loyal farmers throughout the coun
try ; and in order that the agriculturists or Bradford
county may not be behind their fellow citizens, we has
ten to give them the benefit of an early knowledge of the
movement. Let a day be fixed for these contributions,
and let the farmers of Bradford assemble and do honor to
their country and themselves by their donations.
tfejf HOLY WEEK AT THF. CATHOLIC CHCRCH,
IN TOWANDA.— The holy week, or the week before Eas
ter, was anciently called the Painful We-k, or week of
austerities, but it is now generally distinguished by tbe
name of Holy Week, or the Great Week, on account of
the merciful and great tilings wrought by GOD, and which
we commemora'e in it. St. Epiphanius assures us, that
Christians, who had least fervour and zeal only eat bread
with a little salt, and drank water once a day, at evening,
all the week, and the more devout continued their last
for two, three, or four days without eating at all. Em
perors and Princes at this time, often set prisoners at
liberty, that they might imitate, as far as in thcin lay,
the example of our Lord, who at this time delivered us
fiom the bonds of our sins, and made us capable of enjoy
ing unappreciablc blessings. The Imperial laws of Theo
dosius forbade all judicia 1 acts or legal process during
this and the following week. In the Apostolical Con
stitution, the law is mentioned in the following words:
" In the Great Week, and the week following, let Ser
vants rest from their labor, because the one is tbe time
of our Lord's passion, anil the other, of His glorious res
urection, and Servants have need tube instructed now in
these mysteries." •
Procession on Palm-Sunday, at 12 o'clock. Palm-Sun
day is so called from the ceremony of blessing branches
of Palms, or some other tree, to be distributed among
the faithful to carry in procession, in remembrance of
what the Jewish people did, when Jesus Christ, six days
before His passion, made His triumphant entry Into Ju
rusalem, riding on an ass colt, as has been foretold by
the Prophet, and was received with joyful acclamations
of the multitude, as well as those of his disciples.
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings, will be
sung the Office, called Ten three, and iii the morning Jlass
nt 10 o'clock, accampanied by various ceremonies. On
Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday evenings, there will be
the Stations of the Holy Cross, and Mass in the Morning
at 8 o'clock.
Let us then he attentive with all possible watchfulness,
that the memory of these great mysteries may not pass
in vain,and let our hearts he penetrated with devotion,so
we may he capable to receive the admirable gilts, which
will he plentifully conferred on those who shall he d's
posed to receive them.

does, rare medical qualities, and a beauty of flavor and
delicacy of taste seldom, it ever, excelh-d by the best
Sherry Wines ot Europe. We are informed by Mr. Katie!
as follows : T at he sets 25110 plants per acre, and the
cultivation that one produce 50 bushels of corn per acre
will produce two gallons nt Wine per plant, or 5000 gal
lons ot wine per a re, which at $2 per gallsn, (the price
that it really commands at one year old.) would amount
to SIO,OOO. The whole expense, including ttie cost i f
plants, to the storing of the Wine in the cellar, will be
less than $3,500, making a net profit ol $6,500 per acre.
