The annual anniversary requiem mass for the repose of the soul of Mgr. Darboy, who fell a victim to the wanton tyranny of the Paris Commune in 1871, was celebrated in the Cathedral of Notre Dame on the 24-th nit., at 9 A.M. The choir of the church was draped in mourning. Among those present were the martyr's sister and many relatives of the family. The erection of a statue to his memory, from the chisel of M. Bonassieux, which was to have accompanied this ceremony, has been delayed, because MAbadie, the architect of the new church of the Sacred Heart, could not find time to complete the chapel in which it is to be placed. This statue will be situated in front of the monument to Cardinal Morlot, Mgr. Darboy's immediate predecessor in the see of Paris. It is expected that it will very soon occupy the place for which, it is destined.
