Purcell sent the bulls of Bishop Frederic Baraga from Newark last Saturday and hopes Baraga will soon be consecrated. Bishop Josue M. Young was unwilling to accept the mitre of Pittsburgh but urged by Bishop Michael O'Connor and Archbishop Francis Patrick Kenrick of Baltimore seemed to require that he submit. Kenrick says that the Pope Pius IX has charged them to provide for the maintenance of the late Protestant bishop of North Carolina, Levi Silliman Ives . He thinks a society should be established in every diocese to provide means of support for converts from the Protestant ministry. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
