pressive ceremonies of the grand masses which
were performed, one after . ahotherby the

upon me at least, in consequence of a band of
reusictans that had been introduced within the

one fellow wpgging his head and scraping the
fiddle, and another starting his eyes and puffing

by the holy: dust of Colurmbus, if thererwas
nothing' else holy there, shocked my ideas of
