The Society enjoys the fullest ap-jprovu! and favor of the highest anthoritiei In the Church. It has been specially bless by the Sovereign Pontiff,- endorsed by] [the Congregation of the Propaganda at] I Home, and recommended in the most ear-[nest manner*by prelates in England, Ireland, America and elsewhere. It is well] |known to onr readers that His Grace,) |Archbiahop Spalding, gave a most ilatter-jing reception to the missionaries abov [mentioned, and foresaw for them aglorioui [career of utility.The Society consists or an Apostolic Aa-ciation of members of the clergy and laity] »r the purpose of propagating Christianity] |by tlie education of missionary priests in] Europe, to be sent beyond its coniines, :liiefly to the heathen races, and to the! lored people of this country. It now ha* college at Mill Hill, London, where there] ire already some twenty or thirty ecclesiastical atudeuts of various nationalities—] [English, Irish, German, Dutch and French] -preparing for the missions. As we- havlt; [seen, four of its former students have already been ordained, and have come* U [Maryland, thus devoting the first fruits ofj [the work to America and its colored people. All members of the Society—lay* as well is clerical—by assisting in the educating oi [priests for the purpose intended, become] [tuissioners themselves, and partake of the] [merits of the more active laborers. They [become especially attached to St. Joseph,] id are in a peculiar manner under his protection, he being recognised as the lirsll loiiasiouer of the Chnrcli—the first who carried Jesus and His Mother among a heathen] leople. As is beautifully said of him, in *| little pamphlet, now nnder onr hands, relating to this work, the fruit of hla mission] (was manifest after a time, because “hi lereby obtained that the Tbebaid in dm leason burst forth iuto a gardoD of Saints.’1] All that is necessary for becoming |member of the Society is to be enrolled onl its books, pray for the extension of the!

Just] [beyond that road the ridge falls off into stagnant swamp, and in the edge of thii [swamp stands the Girod Asylum.It is evident that nine out of tea of thi [boys sent there would certainly contract] the swamp fever.
