Excerpt: ... IKISH-CANADIAN PILGRIMAGE. Saturday, April 21, 1877.--As the "City of Brussels" steamed down the harbor, Canadian and Irish flags flying, hearty cheers were given and responded to generously from the steam cutter that accompanied the pilgrim ship. About the time when the friends on shore, who were waving their adieus, became dim figures in the distance, one of the pilgrims called for three cheers for PIUS THE NINTH. The men of the ship and of the cutter united, and gave out to the fresh evening breezes over the Narrows a shout of joy and power such as had rarely, if ever, re-echoed from the neighboring shores. Immediately after "Tara's Hall" was sung by many strong and harmonious voices. The cutter steamed by a short line for Sandy Hook, and there awaited the arrival of the ship. The time had come for its return, and the cheer of adieu was only second to the wonderful cheer for Pius the Ninth. All gazed fondly on the Long Island shore for hours, to take a Jast look at America for a time. By degrees the land disappeared, till only a well-defined projection from the ocean shore of Long Island was visible. Still, we watched eagerly till Fire Island, and with it the land of America, receded from our view, and we at last retired. The weather towards evening was not strong enough to be alarming, nor smooth enough to be monotonous. It was most enjoyable. NAMES AND ADDRESSES.
