St. Patrick’s Day in America

ST. PATRICK’S DAY IN AMERICA.
The birth-day anniversary of the illustrious Apostle of Ireland, ST. PATRICK, will be celebrated in a becoming manner, at Harpers-Ferry, on Sunday next. Solemn High Mass will be offered by the Rev. Mr. Gildea, assisted by two Clergymen; one of whom, a very distinguished preacher, will deliver the Saint’s panegyrick. The Amateur Band of Harpers-Ferry will be in attendance; and at dawn of day, march up to Smith’s section, on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and await their friends from above, until 8 o’clock, A. M., and then march down to the Hospital, where they will again await their friends from below, until 9 1/2 o’clock; from thence they will proceed to the Catholic Church, and remain until Divine Service is over; from thence they will march up through Bolivar and come around by Mr. Strider’s mill, playing the appropriate tunes of the day. Music to conclude with “HOME, SWEET HOME,” on the Maryland side of the Bridge.

EMBLEMS TO BE WORN:
A green riband on the left shoulder,
A white do. on the right, to form a Cross,
A red do. around the waist.
It is confidently hoped, that on the approaching day, all who will kindly attend, will meet without party spirit, free from all desire of unhallowing so sacred a day by any disrespectful or disorderly conduct.
March 14, 1833.
