YOUNG, A FORMER CIT- IXKN, MOlttNS THK LOSS OF A KG ITU- YEAR-OLD FUHEUAX.

OF THK LATK FATHER KEKNAN, AT AMBOY. Walter, the son of llev George "Young, of Elgin, died last Sunday ot scarlet fever. The gentleman will be remembered as a former pastor of Embury chureb, aud his friends here mourn the death of his darling boy. The says: "When his flock had come together it was announced that the angel of death had visited the homo of their pastor aud had borne away the spirit of his little boy. Many were the expressions of heartfelt sympathy.

Little Walter was-a bright, beautiful child, hut a few mouths past four years. He had been ailing slightly for a day or two but little was thought of his indisposition, it was so trivial. On Sabbath morning he was no worse, bub about o'clock that afternoon he suddenly became very ill. It become evident that his disease was scarlet fever. Spasms ensued, and in one of these the soul of the little sufferer passed away, but two hours after his illness assumed a gerous form." It HEX AN.

The deiU.li of Rev Francis A Keenan, the pastor of tlio Amboy tfomau Catho lie church, was a sad blow to the people of that city, by whom he was greatly beloved. lie was born near the city' of i HalliBasloe, county Gal way, Ireland, on the 3d of November. 1834. Ills parents were much respected for thorough piety and integrity, in the year J85S he entered the Catholic seminary at Chicago, and after pursuing bis philosophical and theological studies with credit he was advanced to the priesthood in 1802. Soon afterward he was appointed assistant at Sfc Patrick's church, Chicago, when, after a year's labor, he was promoted to (he pastorate 8t Mary's, El Paso.

Bishop Foley sent him to labor among the people of Aaiboy over eleven years ago, and he accomplished a great deal of good. Through his efforts a magnificent church has been created theie, which is the pride of the city. He was emphatically and intuitively a church man, and in his death the cause of religion has lost au earnest and able advocate. Tbt remains were removed from the pastoral residence to the church at 4 o'clock Friday and reposed hi front of the higU attar, Thousands from city and cunniry viewed body during the evening and night, and offered up prayer for the reposH of Father Keenan's soul. A detail of members of the A aud temperance societies remained as a guard of honor during the uigkt.

There- was not very huge turnout at ibu hall, because the affair was not thoronghly udYcrtised, and the failure of the co.slumes to arrive from Ottawa deprived a good many of having the 1'un they craved for. The Germania Band was present during the evening, and gave the people very good conceit and there were two tableaux of tho seasons, participated in by a bevy of boys and girls who did nicely.

The suits -were for the most purl home made, and it would have been well if some of them had remained at home. Early iu the evening a living statute, representing the Goddess of Liberty or something else, planted her self in tho middle of the hall, ou a footstool, and stood there until 11 o'clock. It was u. trying position, and we were not surprised when the judges awarded her a prize. There were about SO masks worn.

With his staff he slept on the ground under a tent Hy, which was stretched at night over a'polc, renting in the crotch of some eoriveniont sapling.
